      @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

                          That is what I have run up on at the moment. the NoMachine install on my iPad will not connect to the X2Go server on LM 17.2

                            Why not let your NX Server also be your jump box?

                            If you want a GUI, then use Pyhoca / X2Go Client... if you need ssh-jumping, then just use your sshclient like normal?

                              I guess I could do that. I was just trying to have as little as possible on it and have that be it's only purpose.

                                I was also unsure how x2go would deal with 2FA but it looks like it might be able to handle it based on some stuff I've read.

                                  That would probably rely on the back-end SSH server, wouldn't it?

                                    It should, but I get a prompt with no ability to type text. I tried it and here's what I get.

                                    0_1449060093905_auth.png

                                    I have a key set up, so the only thing that box should be is the 2fa authentication.

                                      What 2FA product are you trialing here?

                                          Doing the ssh tunnel is working pretty well though, testing it out right now.
