[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi,

just to be sure: have you done the lightweight test on the server side or
the client side?

Assuming you have done the test on the server side. This indicates that the
problem is somehow tied to the connection. Can you please check if
different connection settings in x2go lead to different results?

You don't need to compile x2goserver, just nxagent. Compiling is done like
this:
1. checkout nx-libs from ArcticaProject on github
2. run make

If this fails you probably need to install more dependencies. If it
succeeds, you need to repeat that after changing these lines in
nx-X11/programs/Xserver/hw/nxagent/Clipboard.c:

#undef TEST -> #define TEST
#undef DEBUG -> #define DEBUG

After running make again you should find a new nxagent in
nx-X11/programs/Xserver

Uli
