[X2Go-User] x2goserver on Ubuntu Mate 15.04 with 4k monitor and high font-rendering DPI

[Robert Dinse]

      Wondering if anyone has considered an x2go plugin for Remina?

      Regarding 15.04, I'm using on a workstation, but loaded onto a server I
found it too unstable and reverted back to 14.10.
