This sounds like one of those xorg errors you get when doing x stuff while not logged into a virtual terminal, but in the case of x2go, I use the magic but don't know how it works, so I have no idea where to start looking.

You very likely call "xset" in your shell startup scripts. Newer X2Go Client versions started calling bash as a login shell, which implies executing scripts like ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc and the like. If you have anything in there that outputs to stderr, X2Go Client will abort the connection.

Because the first connection logically won't have a valid DISPLAY variable set - after all, the client has to spawn x2goagent first - the "xset" call will fail and the session terminate abnormally.

Please fix your shell startup scripts.

Marking this bug as not-a-bug and closing.

*) Never heard of there. I don't think I ever installed them. I figured I didn't have them installed before so I installed them now. Didn't fix my problem though.

PyHoca is another client for X2Go, like X2Go Client. You don't need it, but chances are you wouldn't have hit that problem with it because it connects and executes commands differently than X2Go Client.
