x2go client set-up to use Linux GUI programs remotely

Content

If it is not already installed, get the x2goclient for your operating system from here: https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:installation:x2goclient

Create a new session

It will look like this
x2go-config-empty-48869.png

Change it to something like the following, substituting your computer's name and user name.
x2go-session-tab-48863.png
Set up the other tabs as follows.

Note: If "adaptive" is not available or the connection does not work, use "16m-jpeg" instead

x2go-io-tab-48867.png
x2go-media-tab-48866.png
x2go-shared-folders-tab-48862.png

Click OK.

Click on the resolution field to change it from this:
the default, incorrect resolution for an x2go session

to this (or whichever display number or resolution you want to use— the default is impractically small, however):
