You need a desktop environment. If you are using the default gnome,
then you also need gnome-flashback-session. Else install mate which works perfectly with x2go.

Hi all,
I'm trying to use x2go-server on a headless machine for virt-manager with x2go-client on Win10. I did not install any desktop environment.
x2go terminates the connection immediately, no window is shown. If I use VcXsrv with putty, virt-manager is working fine.
CCing Mike#1, as he has some python knowledge and virt-manager is a python program (called by a bash wrapper, no idea why) ...
What seems to happen is that X2Go doesn't detect virt-manager as an X application.
If I write a wrapper script like so:
#!/bin/bash timeout 10 xterm & # background xterm, don't call virt-manager from it /usr/bin/virt-manager
Then virt-manager will start - but will die after 10 seconds, when "timeout" kills the backgrounded, empty, idle xterm session. I would understand this behavior if virt-manager was called from *within* xterm, but as you can see, it is called separately.
@Mike: Any idea as to what's going wrong here and how to fix it?
Kind Regards, Stefan Baur
