[X2Go-User] Failure negotiating the session in stage '7'. Wrong version or invalid session authentication cookie.

Wed Jul 17 11:18:59 CEST 2013

Hey Roland,

I'm sorry but I'm quite busy right now.
Following things to try:

Kill all sessions on your server.
Use the root command to list all users sessions with:
sudo x2golistsessions_root
Delete all involved users .Xauthority files.
If you've got hanging sessions left, manually execute x2goterminatesessions
with the ID.
Make the x2goserver logging level to debug in /etc/x2go/x2xgoserver.conf
Reboot the machine.

Then open a new Master Session -> KDE or xterm, whatever..
Use the root command again to make sure it's known by the x2goserver.
Then start the Shadow Session to the Master Session.

Include as many logfiles as possible into a new mail to the mailing list.

Greetings,
Kjellski
