Dear list,
I am running Debian Sid on the server and the x2goclient_gtk. Since some time (I think January 2009) the GNOME session does not start anymore and I can just see the background picture. Unfortunately I do not know what has changed on the system.
Starting only a terminal or another program works.
I get this in /var/log/user.log.
Apr 13 17:02:18 hostname bonobo-activation-server (name-8129): could not associate with desktop session: dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.
The GNOME option seems to just run gnome-session. I did not find where this is specified. I tried to use an own command (Eigener Befehl)
/usr/bin/dbus-launch /usr/bin/gnome-session
(also with quotes) but got an error message. Starting a terminal and running this command worked though.
You can find the version of the programs installed on the server at the end of this message.
Do you have a solution for this problem?
Thanks a lot,
Paul

Hello Paul,
I don't know which command start Sid to launch gnome. I had the same problem on opensuse. Solution was to launch /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession instead of gnome-session.
If you say, that /usr/bin/dbus-launch /usr/bin/gnome-session work, you can create start script /usr/bin/start-gnome:
#!/bin/bash /usr/bin/dbus-launch /usr/bin/gnome-session
and start it instead of gnome-session.
IMPORTANT: do not launch it with "Single application" (Anwendung) in x2goclient, but with "Custom" (Eigener)

I tried it again today and did not have this problem anymore. So I did not have to try your solution.
Some version changed, so I will paste the output below for reference.
Thanks a lot,
Paul
