Ever since the upgrade to Rocky8, when I use X2Go, the window freeze after a while, especially if I switch between working on my computer and on X2Go. When it freezes, the mouse clicks become completely unresponsive, I can move the mouse but can’t click on anything. My work on X2Go is via matlab, on an interactive session (salloc --x11), so not sure if this contributes to this behaviour. Anybody else experienced this?
Steps to Reproduce
Connect to Ygg or Baobab on Yggdrasil. Open an salloc --x11 job, open matlab. Then minimize the X2Go window and do some work on your local computer. Go back to X2Go and see if the whole screen freezes.
Expected Result
No screen freezing
Actual Result
Screen freezing. Can’t click on anything, keyboard unresponsive, but mouse moves around.
I also have had problems with X2Go this week. On Baobab it freezes, and opening and closing the session doesn’t fix it. Yggdrasil just opens a black window for a second and then it exits the session.
@Yann.Sagon yes killing the session allows me to start again a fresh new session. Like someone mentioned in another thread, the issue comes back as soon as the X2Go window has been inactive for a few minutes, so it makes it quite impractical. Hopefully there exist a solution to fix it on the longer term.
Then I removed the package “xfce4-screensaver” on login nodes, if your session is freezed ,please kill the session and restart a new one. Of course don’t hesitate to give us feedback.
