X2go is a remote desktop solution used to access graphical desktop environments over the internet. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install X2go on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before installing X2go, we recommend updating your system using the following command:
sudo zypper update
This command will update all of your system packages to their latest versions.
Next, we need to add the X2go repository to our system. Run the following command to add the repository:
sudo zypper addrepo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/RemoteDesktop:/x2go/openSUSE_Latest/ x2go
We also need to add the X2go repository key to our system to verify the packages during installation. Execute the following command:
wget https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/RemoteDesktop:/x2go/openSUSE_Latest/repodata/repomd.xml.key
sudo rpm --import repomd.xml.key
Now, we are ready to install X2go. Use the following command to install X2go:
sudo zypper install x2goserver
This will install the X2go server package on your system.
If you have a firewall configured on your system, you need to open some ports for X2go. Execute the following command to open the required ports:
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=22/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=2200/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
These commands will open ports 22 and 2200 for TCP traffic.
Finally, we can launch the X2go server by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start x2goserver
This will start the X2go server on your system.
At this point, X2go is up and running on your OpenSUSE system. Now, you can connect to the X2go server from any client by installing the X2go client on your device.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed X2go on OpenSUSE Latest. Enjoy remote access to your graphical desktop environments.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
