      • replace <netid> with your NetID.
    • When prompted, enter NetID password

Connect to Graphical Interface using x2go

If a graphical desktop is preferred over SSH terminal, follow the steps below.

  • Download and install x2go client from https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/download:start
    • Direct link to client download: Windows, Mac OS
      • Note: Mac OS requires XQuartz, download here: https://www.xquartz.org/
  • Start the client and select “new-session” from the Session drop-down menu.
  • In the Session tab:
    • Session Name: ecelinux
    • Server – Host: ecelinux.ece.cornell.edu
    • Server – Login: Your NetID
    • Session Type: XFCE
  • Connection Tab:
    • Move the slider to the appropriate network type
  • Input/Output tab:
    • Configure the screen for the size you want.
  • Media tab:

    • uncheck Client side printing support
  • Shared Folders tab:
    • make sure that “Use SSH port forwarding…” is checked.
  • Click OK button to save your session settings.

Logging off of x2go session

  • DO NOT JUST CLOSE THE X2GO WINDOW!
    • Close whatever applications you are using.
    • Pull-down the menu under your name in the upper right corner and select Logout.
      • Select Logout on the resulting screen.

Troubleshooting

  • If your x2go session routinely exits when you start an application, try the following:
    • Reconfigure your x2go setup to the following in the Session tab:
      • Change the Session Type: to “single application” and set the Command: to be “xfce4-terminal”.
        • This will result in only the terminal window appearing, not the entire desktop
        • Run your application normally.
        • Be sure to logout of the session on this terminal window.
