I wonder why x2go doesnt connect using Qubes OS? i have tested x2go from debian it works ok , but when using it from Qubes OS it doesnt connect with message saying "connection refused" though ssh works fine from the same machine on Qubes OS.
So is there extra needed package to be installed? or its just unsupported?
*Tested on Debian Buster Template
ThX!

Based on the things I know of Qubes (which is not much) I'd say it is unsupported. You are talking about the x2goclient, right? So I guess you need to give the x2goclient (or merely its VM) permissions to connect to the outside and to the Qubes X server. But I may be totally wrong here, just guessing.

yes client , x2goclient connecting to debian server.
what do you mean permission to the outside? ssh connect fine out of the box, what x2goclient specifics to make it work?
I hope you check out Qubes OS for fun and security geeks.

x2goclient is not using your openssh but libssh. As I wrote I have no deeper knowledge of Qubes. All I know is that applications are running in VMs and you can control communication and access permissions. So I think you must somehow tell the system that x2goclient/libssh are allowed to open connections to another server. Regarding file access you must even allow reverse ssh access from the server to the client so for now I suggest to disable file access (and for simplicity also sound and printer access). You can have a look at that later and restrict to a simple xterm session.
