      @scottalanmiller You guys do not use the OwnCloud client app?

      Some of us do.

        If that's the case, do you even really need anything other than a laptop that is capable of connecting to a Terminal Server to get you access to your work environment?

        Don't even need that. Only need access to a terminal server if connecting to someone else's environment.

        I just want an NX client for chromebooks. That would be perfect.

          Yeah, that would be great. A Skype client would be nice too.

            I'm going to get one here at some point. I'll turn on developer mode and then I can use x2go. It would be nice to have one without needing that though.

              @scottalanmiller @johnhooks Have you guys considered the Web Skype client?

              I dont' know anything about it, but I do know they are working on one.

                    If you put the chromebook in developer mode and install crouton you can use skype for linux

                      I got it installed... great to have the directions.

                      My question as I continue to read over the thread is.. The computer I just moved from LM 15 to LM 17.2 is what I run to listen to Pandora.

                      But the session it connected to was a new session. Will it connect to the active session so that I can change the stations. It's using my main sound system so this would save me a bit of plunking around.

                        @gjacobse You are trying to use X2Go to stream Pandora? It should connect to an existing session, rather than creating a new one each time.

                          I just found that. There is an option to connect to the existing session. Awesome.😤

                            And no - I just want to use 2xGo to connect to that computer. It's playing through it's own speakers.... It's loud enough to have in the back ground, doesn't interfere with my Skype calls, or phone calls...

                              Oh, I see. That makes more sense now.

                                Quick follow up question. What client are you using from your iPad?

                                There is currently no x2Go in the Apple Store.

                                  I'm not using it on the iPad currently. Search for any NX client.

                                    I've been using X2Go on fresh installs of Linux Mint 17.2 as well as nightly builds on a fresh install of OpenSuse Leap for a coupel of days now. I've noticed a few little niggles with it. (Not sure if this is issues with the Pyhoca-GUI client I am using or not, yet)

                                    If I am connected to session 50 from Computer A, and I close the Window and move to Computer B, I cannot resume that session. It simply will not work. In order for me to switch computers, I must click Suspend in Pyhoca-GUI.

                                      One that comes up is NoMachine.

                                      I'm attempting to use it now...

                                        That's the official one. NoMachine makes the NX protocol.

                                          @scottalanmiller Will the NoMachine client actually work with the X2Go Servers?

                                            Is there a better way to get access to the nx server behind a jump box other than using local port forwarding through ssh? For example:

                                            ssh -L 2222:serverip:22 username@jumpbox
