Dear All,
I am following up with my previous post as I am still stuck and unable to use X2go.
I have a crashed session and I am unable to close.
Does anyone have any suggestion?
Thanks! Ilaria

I have used it successfully for a couple of weeks.
Then, once, I got the following error message while attempting login (windows10):
Failed to start X2Go Agent session with ID xxxxxxx. X2Go Agent terminated unexpectedly. Aborting session startup.
I tried to
restart PC unistall-reinstall delete session-recreate session exit putty-re-entering
I have no more attempts to do.
I have used other clients before, and for one of those this sometimes would happen.
Sometime vcxsrv crashes and leaves the remote x2goagent in a bad state which results in another crash of vcxsrv on reconnect. The only way to fix that is to kill the remote session (the remote x2goagent process) and start a new one. From your text it is unclear if you have tried that.
I did the following in the x2go GUI: Session-session management-terminate session I also uninstall and re-install X2go, but the crashed session was still there.
What I was doing was to -kill geometry in putty and then re-do one.
What do you mean by that? I was using a command line in putty terminal that would kill anything pending and then I was re-configuring the geometry upon the next re-start. I do not remember exactly what the command line was about, but I remember it was using -kill and -geometry flag. Sorry I wish I could be more specific. Anyway I was using TightVNC and not X2go. Likely it does not applies.
Is there something similar I can do here?
You can try to use mobaxterm to connect to your server and see if you can run "x2goagent :1" there. If that does not work, that's the reason for the connection problems. If it works, then we need to search the problem elsewhere.
I cannot use mobaxterm, because my institution (and relative cluster I am trying to connect to) only supports X2go.
I tried to visualize the Archive of this mailing list but I could not find a way to search previous posts.
see https://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user respectively https://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-user/
I had seen the list of Archived posts (https://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-user/). I started searching by clicking on the first Thread or Subject, then the second, third, and so on... I was wondering is there was a way to visualize them all in a long list so that one can ctrl-F keywords.
Thank you again for your kind support.
Ilaria
