About one and a half years ago, there was a grave security bug in Mint
- - which they seem to consider a design decision and didn't want to fix
at that time - that made usage of Linux Mint as an x2go server
environment a no-go (unless manually fixed).
You can read up on all the gory details here:

I'm not sure, maybe there are currently no x2go server packages for
Mint due to the fact that we don't want to expose unsuspecting
users/admins to that risk?

$SOMEONE should check if the Mint guys have come to their senses and
fixed that issue.

@Mike#1: Did we pull x2goserver images for Mint due to that?  Or is
there another reason why Peter is seeing this issue?
