It could be a bug: the version distributed with Fedora 37 is 4.1.0.3-19.fc37.x86_64.rpm whereas the one in CentOS 8 is x2goserver-4.1.0.3-17.el8.1.x86_64.rpm , with this showing in the change log:
2022-07-23 - Fedora Release Engineering <releng@fedoraproject.org> - 4.1.0.3-19
- Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_37_Mass_Rebuild 2022-05-30 - Jitka Plesnikova <jplesnik@redhat.com> - 4.1.0.3-18
- Perl 5.36 rebuild
Those are the permissions I have on my side (on Debian 11 but it should be the same): root@dev:~# ls -lah /var/lib/ drwxrwx---+ 2 x2gouser x2gouser 4.0K Dec 29 01:37 x2go
root@dev:~# ls -lah /var/lib/x2go/ -rw-rw----+ 1 root x2gouser 40K Dec 29 01:37 x2go_sessions
So try this: sudo chmod 0770 /var/lib/x2go && sudo chown x2gouser:x2gouser /var/lib/x2go && sudo chmod 0660 /var/lib/x2go/x2go_sessions && sudo chown root:x2gouser /var/lib/x2go/x2go_sessions && echo "PERMISSIONS FIXED"
If it still doesn't work: maybe you can revert to version x2goserver-4.1.0.3-17 ? I tried to find the package for Fedora 37 but could only find the el8 ones... Maybe this command would work: sudo dnf install x2goserver-4.1.0.3-17.fc37 Otherwise, the only last option to test out would be to use the EPEL8 repo and install the x2goserver-4.1.0.3-17.el8 package...

Well a hypothesis was tested with simply changing permissions as follows X2Go launched:
sudo chmod 777 /var/lib/x2go pascal:~/$ sudo chmod 666 /var/lib/x2go/x2go_sessions
Is x2go_sessions is needed after a session is up and running?
This proves that it is a problem of permission to read and write the db. Permission should be gotten via the sgid wrapper, but for some reason it is not.
Uninstalling and reinstalling did not work. Is there a script to fix permissions correctly? Should we remove the x2go user and group and re-add?

Hi again Robert,
I have tried (and succeeded) on a server using AlmaLinux 8 (I don't have access to Fedora 37, sorry) and this is the command I used (you might skip the 2x "epel" commands?):
dnf upgrade -y && dnf install
-y && dnf config-manager --enable epel && dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools && dnf install -y xfdesktop gtk-doc xfce* --exclude=xfce4-sensors-plugin-devel lightdm firefox x2goserver x2goserver-xsession && systemctl isolate graphical.target && systemctl set-default graphical.target && echo "PLEASE REBOOT NOW"
Pausing and resuming the session didn't work though (probably bec my 1x CPU and 768 MB RAM are too small!).
Again: I really prefer the LXQt or LXDE on Ubuntu/Debian as it is a lot faster than XFDE...(I can't imagine how slow MATE could be!).
