SYNOPSIS
x2goclient <options>

DESCRIPTION
x2goclient is a GUI application for launching server-side X2Go sessions.

OPTIONS
x2goclient has the following options:

\FC--help-pack\F[]
    Show available pack methods and exit.

\FC--no-menu\F[]
    Hide menu-/toolbar (default: false).

\FC--maximize\F[]

\FC--client-ssh-port\F[]
    Local ssh port (for filesystem export, default: 22).

\FC--user\F[]
    Pre-selection of user at client startup (LDAP mode).

PROFILING SESSIONS GLOBALLY
You can pre-profile sessions globally using the following options. They will override the options in the session profiles.

\FC--command\F[]
    Default command for session startup.

\FC--sessionid\F[]
    Pre-selection of session ID at client startup.

\FC--ssh-port\F[]
    Use this TCP/IP port for connection (default: 22).

\FC--link\F[]
    Set default link type (modem,isdn,adsl,wan or lan, default: adsl).

\FC--pack\F[]
    Set default pack method (default: '16m-jpeg').

\FC--quality\F[]
    Set default image quality(0-9, default: 9).

\FC--set-kbd\F[]
    Overwrite current keyboard settings, no override by default.

\FC--kbd-layout\F[]
    Set keyboard layout (default: 'de').

\FC--kbd-type\F[]
    Set keyboard type (default: pc105/de).

\FC--fullscreen\F[]
    Start session in fullscreen mode.

\FC--width\F[]
    Start session with this width (default: 800).

\FC--sound\F[]
    Activate sound for session, not enabled by default.

\FC--sound-system\F[]
    Which soundsystem to use: arts, esd, pulse (default: arts).

THIN CLIENT OPTIONS
The following command line options are primarily interesting if x2goclient is used as a login manager on X2Go thin clients.

\FC--session=<session-profile-name>\F[]
    Pre-selection of session at client startup.

\FC--no-session-edit\F[]
    Disable session editing.

\FC--pgp-card\F[]
    Use openPGP Card authentication (default: false).

\FC--external-login=<smartcard-logins>\F[]
    Authenticate via SMART card, path to login notification file.

\FC--add-to-known-hosts\F[]
    Add DSA/RSA host key fingerprint to .ssh/known_hosts in case of "authenticity of server can't be established".

\FC--read-exports-from\F[]
    Specifies a directory where some external mechanism (e.g. script) can notify x2goclient on new block devices (CD/DVDs, USB sticks, etc.).

BROKER OPTIONS
In case you want to retrieve x2goclient session profiles from an X2Go Session Broker use the following options:

\FC--broker-url=<URL>\F[]
    Specify the <URL> of the X2Go Session Broker. X2Go Client can access http:// and ssh:// style URLs.

\FC--broker-noauth\F[]
    The X2Go Session Broker is accessible without authentication.

\FC--auth-id=<USERNAME>\F[]
    Use this <USERNAME> for authenticating against the X2Go Session Broker. This option mostly makes sense together with --broker-autologin or --broker-ssh-key.

\FC--broker-autologin\F[]
    For SSH based X2Go Session Brokers. If an SSH agent is available or default key files exist then try those for authentication against the X2Go Session Broker.

\FC--broker-ssh-key=<SSHPRIVKEY>\F[]
    For SSH based X2Go Session Brokers. Full path to a valid SSH private key file.

\FC--broker-name=<NAME>\F[]
    Currently unused...

LDAP OPTIONS (deprecated)
NOTE: LDAP support won't be continued in X2Go Client 2 (next generation of X2Go Client). The LDAP functionality already is fully available via the X2Go Session Brokerage feature.

In case you want to retrieve x2goclient session profiles from an LDAP server use the following options:

\FC--ldap\F[]
    Start with LDAP support (disabled by default).

\FC--basedn\F[]
    Base DN to search in LDAP.

\FC--ldap-server\F[]
    LDAP Server hostname.

\FC--ldap-port\F[]
    LDAP Server portnumber (default: 389).

\FC--ldap-server1\F[]
    Failover LDAP Server hostname.

\FC--ldap-port1\F[]
    Failover LDAP Server portnumber (default: 389).

\FC--ldap-server2\F[]
    Failover LDAP Server hostname.
