<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:12.8px">Thanks... got some help in the IRC channel. Changed a line on the remote server in /etc/bashrc from mesg y to tty -s && mesg y and after doing that when trying to connect the x2go client gave a more helpful message, namely that it required XQuartz to be installed. After installing that I was able to get things working. <div><br></div><div>-J</div><div><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 5, 2017 at 8:10 AM, Stefan Baur <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:X2Go-ML-1@baur-itcs.de" target="_blank">X2Go-ML-1@baur-itcs.de</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">Am 05.10.2017 um 16:34 schrieb Joshua Alexander:<br>

</span>I'd check to make sure that your default shell is bash, and that you<br>
don't have any commands in bashrc, profile, ... that require a TTY to be<br>
present.<br>
<br>
"mesg n" (note: it's "mesg", not "megs") seems like a likely candidate.<br>
