Fwd: x2go Webbrowser Plugin

I have a suggestion regarding "usability"..

I had a new server to setup so I added x2go ppa and installed the firefox plugin.

Starting Firefox then going to Tools/Extensions/Plugins I see the newest plugin version is there (see below 1st image).... but clicking on "MORE" on that screen presents the next/2nd Image.

All that screen tells the user is the x2go version number again...?

My suggestion: looking at that 2nd image ..

how hard would it be to include the x2go wiki's URL for configuring the x2goplugin & associated website ??

Seems this would enable people that install the x2go plugin to self-directed toward the rest of the "HOW TO" information to enable it (re the website setup)

I think it's with ubuntu.

At my source (plugin) is version 3.99.0.5-1

Yeah that version if broken. In Debian wheezy we have 3.99.2.1-4. That one is patched to make the plugin work. So in quantal or raring there should be a fixed version of the plugin (/me ENOTIME to check the current archive status of Ubuntu distro versions).

Do this for your client system:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:x2go/stable
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install x2goclient x2goplugin

At my server I see version x2goplugin-provider (4.0.0.1-0~352~lucid1)
where I changed inside file /usr/share/x2go/plugin/x2goplugin.html
server= to my virtual host IP where is x2goserver:i386 4.0.0.0-0~640~precise1

The server side versions are fine!
