Re: [X2Go-User] X2Go crash from Mac/MATE to Fedora 25 w NIS user getting x2gostartagent: blocking creation of agent's keyboard file

  I applied all the upgrades, and downgraded mesa-libGL and everything

worked. Added the following to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf:

  exclude=mesa-libGL

  To prevent it from being upgraded until such time as that issue is

resolved.

This might be the update to Mesa in Fedora

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1427174

A lot of programs won't start in my XFCE desktop under x2go. Even xfce4-terminal

The temporary fix is to downgrade mesa:

dnf downgrade mesa-libGL --allowerasing

Very useful information, thanks!

I had the user run glxinfo and on Fedora 25, he got the exact same message.

I wasn't able to reproduce it on Debian Jessie. There, glxinfo could query the GLX version information correctly and also reported working direct rendering via SGI 1.2/MESA 1.4 Gallium software renderer (or the like, I don't remember the specifics, but certainly not an error.)

Initially I thought this might be a problem with nx-libs. If it's really a bug in MESA, that would be good, because is a chance this problem can be fixed by fixing up MESA itself.
