X2Go can see desktop, not applications

Support Software & Applications

Hi,

All is KDE minimal.
I followed the X2Go Arch wiki.
Using 2 Virtualbox machines, one as X2Go server and one as X2Go client, it works fine switching to testing branch.

Now I installed physically, the server side, on a mini-itx board, also testing branch.
When connecting I can see the desktop and mouse-cursor on client side.
Clicking the menu or a application does not show up (client side) but it does on server side monitor.

It does not matter if I use the X2Go client in the VM or on the host, switching branches makes no difference either, outcome is the same.
Have been looking around for this but was not able to find a similar post, here or elsewhere.

Help appreciated,

Thanks.

So I just found a post with the exact same issue I have.


Unfortunately no given solution, the search continues.

Thanks.

Spend another hour with this.

What is puzzling me is why it works using VM’s but not with the server side on physical…

Not getting anywhere with this.
No reaction after one day on x2go irc.

Going to try XFCE as it seems better supported for x2go.
XFCE also works in VM, going to try physical tomorrow.

Well, XFCE as x2goserver works fine.
Too bad I was unable to find the culprit with KDE but still wondering.

Thanks.
