Installing the x2go client software

We will be using a container on our server that can be accessed via tube.utu.fi for the project data reduction tasks. We will be using the container remotely using free and open source x2go software. Please install the x2go client before you arrive to save time.

Full instructions (in case of problems) are here:
http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:installation:x2goclient

Ubuntu

Easy:

 apt-get install x2goclient

Windows

Mac OS

Bit more difficult as always with a Mac ;-):

First install XQuartz from http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/

Type

 echo "*VT100.translations: #override Meta <KeyPress> V: insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n" > ~/.Xdefaults 

to the terminal (enables copy&paste).

Then install x2go client from the link in:
http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-macosx/x2goclient/

Select the binary that matches your OS version.

Mac OS keyboard problem

If keyboard layout is mixed up, it seems that upgrading OSX to 10.13 and installing x2go version for OSX 10.12 and higher fixes it.
