[X2Go-User] problem getting x2go to work.

[Jon Gilbert]

Even when I try making a shell script executable with the gnome-session arguments, I have no luck whatsoever. I created a new user and tried logging in, and it just throws a bunch of errors like this in the .xsession-x2go-error.log:

In the session log it also has this error:

I wonder what I should do. Why doesn't it start with an 800x600 window like i had defined? Why does it open X11 up all the way to the size of both of my monitors? Why can't I see any GUI elements? So weird.

BTW a Bitnami Ubuntu instance runs on Amazon EC2. Bitnami makes pre-made linux installations that already have things like apache and solr installed, etc.

I am guessing what is going on is that I could not connect as the user "ubuntu" because that user does not have its own home directory on my system. Instead it has a link to the home directory of the user "bitnami". If you want to see what I'm talking about then spin up your own free bitnami ubuntu instance and try to set up x2go and connect as the user "ubuntu".
