I had to restore an linux machine (ubuntu) from backup. However, after the restore x2go is no longer working correctly.

Using the x2goclient I try to log into an x2go server machine but the response is almost immediately a message "Finished" and the x2go client session window reappears with the login/password entry fields.

If I log-in again x2goclient tells me there is an existing session - so it seems 1st attempt did start the session connection.

I know there are some log files I can look at to get a clue what is wrong but I couldn't find any documentation about what logs and where.

fyi. I've tried purging the x2goclient and reinstalling but the results are the same - re getting the "Finished" message even though it looks like the session did get established.

Any tips/hints to troubleshoot this would be appreciated.

<snip> Which was rebuilt? The client or the server? One could add logger commands to the various x2go scripts in /usr/bin to figure out where in the process it is breaking. Good luck - John
