Add remote login support for X2Go

[Mike Gabriel]

Hi,

I am currently implementing X2Go remote login support for the Unity Greeter. Attached is a patch that allows setting the session command that will launch a specific X2Go Session.

Possible X2Go Session commands are: GNOME, UNITY (till Ubuntu precise -> unity-2d), KDE, LXDE, XFCE. Other desktop environments can be requested / are in prep.

The proposed patch requires libpam-x2go [1] and lightdm-remote-session-x2go [2] to be installed on the same system.

This patch also requires a patch in remote-login-service which I will submit in a minute. Once I have the bug number, I will report it here.

Greets,

the link to [1] in the above comment is broken: this one works:

btw, you could merge these two bugs into one which might be easier to manage - if you click "also affects project" you can make this bug affect both unity-greeter and remote-login service.

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

Could you also convert the patches into merge requests? Then they are easier to manage.

To do this you can do:
$ bzr branch lp:unity-greeter
$ cd unity-greeter
(make changes)
$ bzr commit -m "Add support for X2Go" --fixes lp:1172928
$ bzr push lp:~m-gabriel/unity-greeter/x2go
Then go to https://code.launchpad.net/~m-gabriel/unity-greeter/x2go and select "propose for merging"

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

Also use --author when doing the commit if you are not the author.

[Mike Gabriel (sunweaver)]

Done. Author is myself.

Note: the packages lightdm-remote-session-x2go and libpam-x2go can be found (for quantal and raring) in ppa:x2go/ppa.
