You must not assume that the service is running correctly if logins via any of the X2Go client applications are possible. It is also '''not''' a prerequisite for new X2Go sessions. + + ==== Does X2Go support Wayland or Mir? ==== + + So long as X2Go uses the NX protocol exclusively for remote display and keyboard/pointer input, X2Go cannot support Wayland or Mir. Audio and file/printer sharing are handled by separate protocols. This is because NX works with the X11 protocol, rather than using an entirely separate protocol like SPICE and VNC do.
