I haven't been able to figure out why my updated x2go is failing to allow ssh login and start of my x2go session.<br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>But I have figured out a workaround but it makes the question of what the real problem is even stranger ?<br>
<br><b>The workaround was to setup<font> SSH Login Without Password Using ssh-keygen & ssh-copy-id</font></b><br><br>For those that haven't done it before an easy/simple explanation of what you have to do is found here:<br>
<a href="http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/11/3-steps-to-perform-ssh-login-without-password-using-ssh-keygen-ssh-copy-id/">http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/11/3-steps-to-perform-ssh-login-without-password-using-ssh-keygen-ssh-copy-id/</a><br>
<br>for Ubuntu the instructions are here:<br><a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys</a><br><br>After doing this from your "client" system start the x2goclient and:<br>
<ol><li>create a new session</li><li>select "<b>session preferences</b>" from the drop-down menu on your "new session" launcher icon</li><li>check mark "<b>Try auto login (ssh-agent or default ssh key)</b>" option</li>
<li>enter your Host address/dns name</li><li>enter your login name </li><li>click OK to save</li><li>Click on the session Launcher ICON and now it should just autoconnect to your remote server with ssh and start your x2go session successfully</li>
</ol><br>Now as to why the new x2goclient was failing and giving that message before when the only difference is whether or not auto-login was used or x2go's<br>ssh key exchange ... I don't know.<br><br>The only thing I can think of is that there was some kind of "key" mismatch between the server and the client before <i>which when I setup auto-login<br>
would have been bypassed because the auto-login setup transfers a new RSA key to make sure they match between machines. <br></i><br>Anyway setting up auto-login now lets x2goclient start the session successfully !! <g><br>

I have this problem on 2 older machines, and not on other machines.<br>
I have tried much to get rit of this problem, but with no success.<br>
<br>
Interesting is that I can use pyhoca-gui without problems where<br>
X2goclient failes. But the last time I've tried this I had a problem<br>
with Pyhoca-gui: the keyboard did not work fine over the session. It did<br>
work, but often there where key-presses missing. Over another direct<br>
SSH connection typing was no problem.<br>
<br>
With regards,<br>
Paul.<br>
