Hi all,
After much hunting I found what the problem was runnung x2goserver on
a freshly installed server.
Apparently X2Go requires the /tmp/.X11-unix directory to exist with
permissions 1777.
Could you please see to it the creation of this directory and the
permissions settings are performed by teh x2goserver package.
Thanks,
Burnce

I would add that on systems running vncserver, /tmp/.X11-unix may exist but owned by another user. It would be good if x2goserver fixed ownership in this case.

What ownership would expect? root:root?

Precisely that.

At least in debian, this directory is created by the init script of the x11-common package. Maybe x2goserver should explicitly depend on that package.
I'm not sure what the equivalent package is in RedHat/Fedora, but it clearly seems to be a packaging issue to me.

On Fedora it is created via systemd's tmpfiles mechanism, and in fact provided by the systemd package so it will be on all machines.
I'm using it on a RHEL6 server with no native/local X server. The X server itself will create the directory if it doesn't exist, but will abort if it already exists but with the wrong owner or permissions.

Are you absolutely sure that the X server binary creates this itself? Or is that some startup script shipped as part of the X server package?

While many scripts are there to create it (and make sure it has the proper permissions, SELinux labels, etc), running the X server directly will create the directory as well.
