Mihai,

He already has an RSA key. And a DSA key. The problem is that X2Go
Client for Windows is limiting him to an ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 key. It
won't even accept other key lengths.

Promox,

You should run this command, then restart the ssh daemon:
ssh-keygen -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key -N '' -t ecdsa -b 256
