X2GO provides full remote access to your Linux desktop at the ITP. There are clients for Linux, Windows and MacOS.

Installing the client

Windows / MacOS

Installation guides with download links can be found on the x2go homepage.

Ubuntu Linux

X2GO is part of Ubuntu 18.04 and most other linux distribution. To install it (in ubuntu) enter the following command into the shell:

$ sudo apt-get install x2goclient

Setup

The setup is very simple. Basically you need the hostname itp.uni-frankfurt.de and your Login name and Password.

Not all session types available in the pull down menu at the bottom of window work. A working choice is 'XFCE'.

If you use ssh-keys for login without password you have to check 'try auto login' or provide the path to your private RSA/DSA key if it is not located in standard directory (.ssh in Linux).
