[X2Go-User] X2Go Server and Ubuntu 16.04.1

[Robert Dinse]

      Ok, I mentioned this in the original post, this is a problem using the
server addition, not ubuntu mate, and then installing mate on top of it.
The server edition has support for things like RAID in the install process that
the workstation spins do not.  I also had stability issues with 16.04-mate in
a server capacity and someone suggested to me that this was only a problem with
the workstation edition and indeed I have not seen these problems with the
server install.  But I've got this xrandr issue instead.  It is not a big deal,
I can easily bring up a terminal and type xrandr -s 1680x1050 and problem is
solved.  But if it's a bug in x2go it would be nice to have it corrected.
