Hello List,

I'm Stefan Schäfer from project invis-server.org. The goal of our project is to build fully open-source small-business servers. Our project is based on openSUSE. We are an openSUSE spin-off project.

A friend of us decided to use our servers as a base for it's own project "meditux" an he needs the combination of XFCE an x2go for support purposes. Normally our servers didn't have a X environment.

After installing XFCE and x2go it's possible to open a XFCE Session via VNC but not via x2go.

The first step, authenticate via SSH works well and after this the session aborts with the following errors:

keyboard file not created: Is a directory Error: Aborting session with 'Could not open default font 'fixed''

Asking Google it seems that al lot users have this problem and that it is a NX Problem. Most poeple solved this problem by creating the directory "/usr/share/fonts/misc" or starting the fontserver XFS. On our system XFS was running, "/usr/share/fonts/misc" exists and ist filled with roundabout 500 fonts.

We installed x2go server from the following repositories:

http://packages.x2go.org/opensuse/13.1/main http://packages.x2go.org/opensuse/13.1/extras

(By the way, there is something wrong with the main repo. The repodata directory is placed in the architecture subdir instead of the repo maindir.)

Installed is the following package of x2goserver: x2goserver-4.0.1.19-0.0x2go2.1.git20150608.1064.main.x86_64

The full session log:

The "clients" file:

The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:

Warning: Type "ONE_LEVEL" has 1 levels, but <RALT> has 2 symbols Ignoring extra symbols Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server

It would be nice if someone here could help us.

Tell me, if you need further information.
