 ==== Connecting to a bach(elor) server from Linux ====
-**UNDER CONSTRUCTION**
+The easiest way to connect to a bachelor server from Linux is to use ''x2goclient'' ([[https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/download:start|which can be downloaded here]]), which automatically uses an ssh tunnel to communicate the RDP protocol. Note that this application is installed on most Sterrewacht Linux computers. First, open ''x2goclient''.
-Open ''x2goclient'' ([[https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/download:start|download here if necessary]]). To log in for the first time, press ''New session''. Give the session a name, enter the name of the servers in ''Host'' and your username in ''Login''. For the session type select ''MATE'' or ''XFCE''. Under the tab ''Input/Output'', you can set the size of the display. Press ''Ok'' when done.
+{{:manuals:bachelorservers:linux_x2go_newsession.png?50|}} Click on the ''New session'' icon to set up a new connection (see left image; click to enlarge).
-Now double-click the session or enter the session name at ''Session:''. Log in with your credentials and accept the key. Do not worry about the error appearing.
+{{:manuals:bachelorservers:linux_x2go_host.png?50|}} Give the session a name and enter the host name in ''Host:'' (in this example, bach1.strw.leidenuniv.nl)
-Alternatively, one can use ''remmina'' ([[https://remmina.org/how-to-install-remmina/|Remmina Remote Desktop Client]]). Open the application and press ''Create a new connection profile''. Give the profile a name and select ''RDP'' as protocol. Enter the server name and set a suitable custom resolution. Initialise the session by pressing ''Save and Connect'' and accept the certificate.
+{{:manuals:bachelorservers:linux_x2go_loginsession.png?50|}} Provide your username in ''Login:'' and for the ''Session type'' at the bottom select either ''MATE'' or ''XFCE''.
+{{:manuals:bachelorservers:linux_x2go_loginsession.png?50|}} Under the ''Input/Output'' tab, you should set the size of the display. Press ''Ok'' when done.
+{{:manuals:bachelorservers:linux_x2go_loginsession.png?50|}} Start the session by clicking on the session or enter the session name in ''Session:''.
+{{:manuals:bachelorservers:linux_x2go_credentials.png?50|}} Log in with your credentials and accept any keys if necessary.
+Alternatively, one can use ''remmina'' ([[https://remmina.org/how-to-install-remmina/|Remmina Remote Desktop Client]]).
+{{:manuals:bachelorservers:linux_remmina_newprofile.png?50|}} Open the application and press ''New connection profile'' in the upper left corner (see left image; click to enlarge).
+{{:manuals:bachelorservers:linux_remmina_protocol.png?50|}} Give the profile a name and select ''RDP'' as protocol.
+{{:manuals:bachelorservers:linux_remmina_server.png?50|}} Enter the server name and your username
+{{:manuals:bachelorservers:linux_remmina_resolution.png?50|}} Set a suitable custom resolution at ''Resolution''.
+{{:manuals:bachelorservers:linux_remmina_ssh.png?50|}} To allow the communication to go through an ssh tunnel, go to the ''SSH Tunnel'' tab. Press ''Enable SSH tunnel'' and enter your username.
+{{:manuals:bachelorservers:linux_remmina_save.png?50|}} Initialise the session by pressing ''Save and Connect'' and enter your password.
