Yes ;-)

Sorry, I meant I disabled the firewall on the client, maybe it was blocking the connections to the tunneled port on localhost (I think it is localhost:30000 or something). But it appears it wasn't.

It also works from ubuntu 9.04. However, I still would like to run it from my 9.10 box as this is my workstation :)

I thought it might be a firewall issue, so I tried `sudo ufw disable` but still the problem persists.

I just installed a client on an old windows XP computer I had lying around, there it does work. So presumably there is something wrong with the client. No idea what that could be though.

Oops excuse me I use Ubuntu 9.10 karmic, not 9.04 as I said earlier.

Things I tried, but did not work:

- check if user is a member of "x2gousers" group in /etc/group
- check if user is a member of "fuse" group in /etc/group
- reset password of user to make sure not entering wrong password
- set DisallowTCP to false in /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas
- remove "-nolisten tcp" from /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc
- run the command `xhost +x` (from the command line it gives an error "xhost: unable to open display """ caused by no active display (and therefore no $DISPLAY environment variable), so I also tried entering this from within an VNC session and the command completed normally, also tried this with an Xvfb xsession)
- allowed login with passwords in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- restart ssh service
- restart EC2 instance
- tried installing packages x2goserver-home, x2goserver-one, x2goserver (and removed installations between trying different packages)

When I tried different NX servers, I always used the corresponding client (I have been careful not to mix up different clients with different servers). For x2goserver I am using x2goclient from the repository, I am using it on Ubuntu 9.04 desktop 64-bit edition. My settings are:

name: test
hostname: <EC2 public dns here>
login: ubuntu
ssh port: 22
use rsa/dsa key for SSH connection: <tried different settings, tried to leave it empty, tried the key I got from amazon, tried a key which was sitting in ~/.ssh/id_rsa; tried all possibilities with and without password>
session type: GNOME

In all cases the error on the server stays the same.

I've been  using AMI's from Alestic or one's I build myself.   But x2go's been working solid.

So you did all the normal things like change /etc/ssh/sshd_config
to allow login with passwords
and the user is a member of x2gousers 'group'
etc

Yes, it is an Ubuntu Server AMI with ubuntu-desktop installed, the desktop is working with VNC so that part seems to have gone OK.

FYI it was an alestic.com Ubuntu 10.10 image, did you get the image from Canonical?

Note sure what you are doing but I've got quite a few ubuntu 10.10 servers on amazon
that I connect to using x2go.     Lack of the video card on those AWS EC2 machines
makes no difference in regards to x2go.

But you have installed a "desktop" on those AWS instances?

If you created an instance from an Ubuntu Server AMI then you would need to

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

or install some "light" desktop.

Hi,

I tried to get this working all night, but it seems there is no way to
connect to an ubuntu 10.10 installation using x2go (package
x2goserver-home). When trying to connect, x2goagent is complaining about
not being able to open a display (in the session log). The machine is an
Amazon EC2 instance, which has no video card. I suspect this is causing
the trouble. I have read it was working on ubuntu 10.04 by the way, as
in http://blog.restbackup.com/how-to-use-amazon-ec2-as-your-desktop

I also tried freenx, neatx and nxserver (from nomachine), and they all
give similar errors. Tightvncserver on the other hand does work, maybe
that's not so useful information, but just in case.

The server log says:

$ cat session.log
/usr/bin/x2goagent: line 1: -e: command not found

I'd really like to try NX, since it appearantly works faster than VNC.
Please advice.

Kind regards,
