Issue 20To: x2go-user <at> lists.berlios.deMike I never tried pyhoca just the
regular x2go client but I will check if there is a difference between the two.  
But I do know that changing that sshd_config entry back to no causes x2go
session to fail and changing it to yes .. works.I'll try pyhoca first before
deleting the wiki entry.---------- Forwarded message ----------

necessary. Let's track this down fully, so we get a clearer sight on what is
happening here.

My patch is currently being discussed on the x2go-dev

I was having the same problem as you on Lubuntu 12.04 (which uses LXDE) and I
can confirm that your sshd_config change fixed it for me. Of note, Top shows 3
zombie processes as soon as x2goserver is installed and running. Still shows it,
but at least now it is working.

Also 64-bit (running in Hyper-V).
