Xpra is now available on Tikoraluk as an alternative to X2go. Unlike X2go, this solution only needs a web browser with similar performance. Here are the steps -

Use an ssh client to connect to tikoraluk.mathstat.dal.ca and start an Xpra session. (This will run in the background. Unless server reboots or Xpra gets terminated, you don't need to do this again)

 xpra start

Visit this Link and fill the information like the screenshot below. Please use your tikoraluk username and password.

* After login, please start a terminal from the Start menu like the screenshot below.

Notes

If Start menu is empty, please try the following -
```
 update-menus 
```

If fonts are fuzzy, please try the following -
- Open the newer 5.x series client from this link
- Choose Advanced Options → Encoding → JPEG/RAW RGB (anything other than auto)
- Offscreen decoding is available only with Chrome.
- This client asks for password twice.

To see existing sessions -
```
 xpra list 
```

To view session information -
```
 xpra info 
```

If the Start menu is empty, please hover the mouse over the Start menu instead of clicking it.
