[X2Go-User] X2Go TCE classic fails / use TCE-Live instead?

[Jens Bürger]

I’d like to add:

Utterly fearless, I followed the instructions to set up TCE Live as they are.

I managed to solve the pxelinux issue temporarily by copying all needed files into the tftp root.

Currently I only have one issue left:

I prepared a x2go-tce.sessionsx2go-tce.sessions file as described.
The X2Go client of the thin client does not fetch it. I don’t see any errors in log files, and according to the http server log, the thin client doesn’t even try to fetch something.

Any hints?

Kind regards,

Jens
