Just reinstalled Debian on the backup server, but now can't get into it with x2go. Gives a popup that says, "The host key for this server was not found but an othertype of key exists.An attacker might change the default server key toconfuse your client into thinking the key does not exist."
Doing a search, no one seems to have had this problem before. Any ideas?
This happened to me. Just a guess, have you switched to newer openssh + openssl 1.x.x? If so, openssh uses ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 keys by default, and x2go doesn't. You can either disable ecdsa on the server, or delete the key from your known_hosts on the client, start x2goclient and it should pick the correct key.
