X2Go Client and PyHoca bail out at the same point. In ~/.x2go/ server-side and client-side, you should find session.log, session.err and an options file. For a failing session, please send those files too me (off-list).

X2Go Windows Client 4.1.2.2 Crashes Upon Connect
by Josh G 09 Apr '20

09 Apr '20

I just installed the Windows client version 4.1.2.2. It crashes as soon as it tries to make the SSH connection. I tried debug and the debug window closes immediately as well. Is there a log somewhere? It was tried on two different machines that have different OSs and virus protection. 4.1.2.0 works fine. It doesn't crash when attempting to connect to a computer that isn't running SSH (just times out). It does crash when trying to connect to that same computer by tunneling through another machine that is running SSH. If I try to connect to a new machine, it crashes as soon as I accept the host key. If you put in a wrong password, it still crashes. Thus, there is never a completed SSH connection. Is there anything I can look at or do? I was hoping that 4.1.2.2 would fix some of the annoyances that prevents me from deploying X2Go to other users.Thanks,Josh

Deactivate IPv6 in x2goclient
by Christoph Pleger 30 Mar '20

30 Mar '20

Hello, I have a non-working session defined in x2goclient and I guess that the reason why it is not working is that the client tries to connect to the server using IPv6. While the server does have a working IPv6 address, from my home computer I first have to use OpenVPN to get an (IPv4) address from within my organization's address space and only that I can login to the server. When using ssh from the command line, I use '-4" to tell that IPv6 shall not be tried; is there also a way to tell x2goclient to only try IPv4? Regards Christoph

Can't connect to server with user 'A' but with user 'B'
by Henrik Schmidt 24 Mar '20

24 Mar '20

I'm using x2go server 4.0.1.20 with nxagent 3.5.0.32 on OpenSuse tumbleweed. I login with x2go client 4.1.2.2 on Windows 10. With User 'B' I can connect fine and the XCFE seesion is started properly. With User 'A' I get an error on the client: "The remote proxy closed the connection while negotiating the session. This may be due to wrong authentication credentials passed to the server." On the server the session.log is: Info: Agent running with pid '17266'. Session: Starting session at 'Fri Mar 20 13:38:52 2020'. Info: Proxy running in server mode with pid '17266'. Info: Waiting for connection from 'localhost' on port '30958'. Info: Aborting the procedure due to signal '1'. Error: Aborting session with 'Unable to open display 'nx/nx,options=/tmp/.x2go-hbs/C-hbs-58-15 84707931_stDXFCE_dp32/options:58''. Session: Aborting session at 'Fri Mar 20 13:39:52 2020'. Session: Session aborted at 'Fri Mar 20 13:39:52 2020'. Both user use the identical x2go session settings on the client and I tried both passwort and ssh key authentication for user 'A'. The password is working fine as I can login as user 'A' with a ssh client (Bitvise). What are possible causes that the two users behave diffently? I tried identical .profile files for both users but this did not help. Any tips? Thanks Henrik

kde bug
by Bilinmek Istemiyor 24 Mar '20

24 Mar '20

Hello, I have been searching for a remote desktop solution to manage two manjaro linux machines at my home, after fiddling with vnc, I have come across to x2go, I am pretty impressed with the setup, and I thank you all who has contributed this software.. I would like to report one issue. In x2go client, there is an option of selecting desktop environments. I am using KDE in both machines. When I select KDE, the connection can not be established since startkde fails. KDE has changed startkde to startplasma-x11. I have tried to circumvent this problem by symbolic linking startkde to startplama-x11 by symbolic linking in the same directory which is /usr/bin. However this failed. I gave up KDE option. I have selected Custom Destop option and entered startplasma-x11 as the command which worked. I believe the KDE option must be updated accordion to new command.. Another issue is, the windows' menu fonts are exceptionally big even though the contents seem proportional.. I do not know if this is relevant to the missing of some options... Native connection with monitor does not have this issue. Best regards...

windows x2go client nable to select monitor to view
by gian sisal 19 Mar '20

19 Mar '20

Hi everyone, Is there a way to connect to a multi-display system (centOS) via X2Go (windows client) and select a single display to show? I'm using windows X2Go client v 4.1.2.0 (Qt- 4.8.6) to connect to a remote system (centOS 7.5 ****) with 4 physical displays, when I connect, I can see in full screen mode the entire graphical remote desktop (4 virtual remote screens stretched into my physical monitor), I'd like to know if is there a way to select one of these displays instead of all. In case, is there a Linux client version that allows me to do that? or a new windows client version (not found yet while searching on the net). Thanks in advance. Regards. G ****:(on remote Linux system) x2goversion : 4.1.0.3 : 4.1.0.3 : 4.1.0.3 : 3.5.99.17 : 4.1.0.3

libreoffice does not start with a user
by olafs6＠gmx.de 02 Mar '20

02 Mar '20

Hi there! Libreoffice no longer starts for a user. It works for all other users. Starting in the terminal gives no message, it hangs endlessly. renamed home/.config/libreoffice, no change. The directory is created again when libreoffice is started again, but only after several minutes. In addition, I have the impression that after the user has logged in, the icons on the desktop only appear after a long pause. libreoffice libreoffice --nolockcheck libreoffice --safe mode all end without notification. There was a .lock file in home/username/.config/libreoffice that I deleted. Does somebody has any idea? Greeting, Olaf

Windows Defender and X2Go Client 4.1.2.2
by Josh G 02 Mar '20

02 Mar '20

I recently tried to download the latest X2Go client. Multiple browsers give an error on the download about the application being malware/virus. Further, I was greeted with Microsoft Windows Defender SmartScreen stating: "Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk." This is my first time downloading this version, so I don't know if this is an issue with SmartScreen or with the binary. I did not have this issue a couple of months ago when I downloaded 4.1.2.0.Thanks,Josh
