I had seen some problems similar to this in the past when the user account used a shell other than bash. In the Ubuntu I was using, the default shell was /bin/sh, which failed. I also saw tickets regarding issues with tcsh.
So, I would confirm you're using /bin/bash and test again.

x2go had been working correctly. I assume that some shell script got corrupted. Does anyone know what shells script get calls when x2go connects? The error appears in a popup window in the x2go client.
thanks
