Procedure to create X2go windows client on Linux server

 

I replicated the same on a RHEL 6.4 AMI and did the following procedures:

Configuring the RHEL Instance
******************************
First, update the instance from the RHEL repository
# yum -y update
If this is the first time that you run this command, it could take a long time on a new instance as it updates all libraries and dependencies on the instance.
Next we will start to install the X-Window system and related packages
# yum -y groupinstall "Desktop" "Desktop Platform" "X Window System" "Fonts"

Now we install the KDE desktop
# yum -y groupinstall kde-desktop

We also want to install some optional packages from the repository, so we need to make a small change to yum.conf to allow this. Using your favorite editor, edit the file /etc/yum.conf and add the following line to the [main] section of the file:
group_package_types=default mandatory optional

Once you have done this, you will be able to install the following package on the EC2 instance.

# yum -y groupinstall "Legacy X Window System compatibility"
Now you need to enable the machine to start up in GUI mode by editing the file /etc/inittab as follows:

Find the line that reads:
id:3:initdefault:
and change it to:
id:5:initdefault:
Then reboot your instance.

Install x2go:
*************
yum install http://epel.mirrors.arminco.com/6/x86_64/

sudo yum install x2goserver --enablerepo=epel

/etc/init.d/x2gocleansessions start

Install x2go windows client:
****************************

http://code.x2go.org/releases/X2GoClient_latest_mswin32-setup.exe

Then i tried connecting to the Instance using its IP and Port on the X2go windows client and successfully logged into the instance GUI.

As earlier noted you can follow the same procedure on the RHEL instance launched, Or if you need further assistance you can initiate another chat session and will be glad to help.

Looking forward to your feedback on the progress made to resolve this issue.

Best regards,
