Ok I'll check firewalld but does this error help? Note the path has lib64: /usr/lib64/x2go/x2gogetfreeport $(hostname) "$(which ss)" display 50 /usr/lib64/x2go/x2gocheckport: line 131: connect('dbname=/var/lib/x2go/x2go_sessions','',...): syntax error in expression (error token is "('dbname=/var/lib/x2go/x2go_sessions','',...)") 50

Well, here's the code producing that output:

This boils down to
for ((retry = 0; retry < max_retry; ++retry)); do typeset -i free_port="${X2GO_PORT}" if free_port="$("${X2GO_LIB_PATH}/x2gogetfreeport" "${current_host_name}" "${ss}" 'display' "${X2GO_PORT}")"; then ... else "${X2GO_LIB_PATH}/x2gosyslog" "${0}" 'warning' "no free display number available, cannot start new session.

-> as you can see x2gofreeport does not seem to report the port as free. You can try this manually:
/usr/lib/x2go/x2gogetfreeport $(hostname) "$(which ss)" display 50
If that will output a free port x2go should generally work. If not, you still have something running and blocking these ports. You can check with lsof -i :6050 and you will see who is blocking the first checked port.
You can also run the x2gogefreeport with bash -x: bash -x /usr/lib/x2go/x2gogetfreeport $(hostname) "$(which ss)" display 50
and see what going on.
Hope that helps,
Uli

How does one start X2Go Windows with debug enabled? I only found for Mac
you can add the --debug flag.
My colleague also had this error:
