X2Go help

We have noticed that the tab key doesn't seem to work. Here's how to fix it:
  1. Applications (upper left corner)
  2. Settings
  3. Window manager
  4. Keyboard tab
  5. Find "Switch Window for same application"
  6. Click on it, and then press the "Clear"button at the bottom of window.
Now tab key should work in x2go applications.

Can't type characters? (Oh my!)

  1. Applications (upper left corner)
  2. Settings
  3. Keybord<
  4. Layout tab
  5. Check "Use system defaults"
  6. (applications) Log Out, then log back in (session)
That should fix it.

Total cleanup

Should you have really messed up, frozen session(s), you need to "Kill" all your processes, after which you should be able to start fresh. To do this you must use ssh in a terminal window:
  1. Open a terminal window on your, or anybody's machine
    ssh youracct@linux.ubishops.ca
  2. If challenged about host keys, type yes (all 3 letters)
  3. Give your linux password
  4. Type this command: kill -9 -1   (those are numbers nine and one)
That will kill, all processes belonging to you on linux. This includes the one running in the terminal window that you just used. Close anything remaining of your x2go session, and start over. Everything should be as good as new.
Other questions about x2go? Tell me, and I will try to expand on this.
