[X2Go-User] X2Go crash from Mac/MATE to Fedora 25 w NIS user getting x2gostartagent: blocking creation of agent's keyboard file

[Robert Dinse]

      I applied all the upgrades, and downgraded mesa-libGL and everything
worked.  Added the following to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf:

      exclude=mesa-libGL

      To prevent it from being upgraded until such time as that issue is
resolved.
