[X2Go-Dev] Bug#1098: x2go doesn't connect if remote has encfs that is not mounted

[kwikwi]

Package: x2goclient
Version: 4.0.5.2


Packages
x2goagent 2:3.5.0.32-0~668~ubuntu16.04.1
x2goclient 4.0.5.2-0~1205~ubuntu16.04.1

x2goserver-xsession 4.0.1.19-0~1064~ubuntu16.04.1

encfs 1.8.1-3
libpam-mount 2.14-1.1

Running on Xubuntu Xenial

I use encfs to encrypt my private data and pam_mount to automagically 
mount this when I login. As I only use a key when logging in over ssh 
(and x2go) I let my ~/.profile prompt for the encfs password. Until the 
previous install of Xubuntu (wily) this also worked for x2go. Under 
xenial not anymore, although I have added the same lines in the same 
configuration files.
x2goclient "hangs" silently

I recently found that, when on the remote the encfs is mounted, then 
x2goclient connects as usual.
So an obvious work-arround is to login (via ssh) on the remote before 
running x2goclient.

Is this a bug?
Is this a configuration error on 1 of my PCs?
Is there a better work-arround

Regards

Jack
