I have checked the forum for similar threads, and applied the solutions given there, but it does not solve my problem.
*The Problem: *
I installed x2go server on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM running in XenServer 6.2. Using LXDE desktop, installed LXDE desktop bindings.
Using regular Windows x2go client from Windows XP. No problem to create a session and run it.
Added a shared folder for c:\Documents and Settings\Admin. The shared folder does not appear in the x2go session.
On the server, using "df -h" to display the various disks gives the message:
df: '/tmp/.x2go-sysadmin/spool/C-sysadmin-50-1439738979_stDLXDE_dp16': Transport endpoint is not connected
sysadmin is the user name on the Linux Ubuntu 14.04 server used to log in to the session. It is the default user of that installation, no other user created.
Curiously, when I re-issue the "df" command in the session a few times, the above error does not show again. It only shows the first time, and only if I do not use use sudo to issue the command. On earlier attempts, the path was different and contained "cygwin" somewhere in the middle of the path. But there was also no folder to connect to.
*What I Tried: *
Client and server can ping each other. I can log in with putty (SSH) to the server. Therefore, basic communications seem to be allright.
Tried to disable strict host key checking on the server in the ssh config file. No result.
Uninstalled desktop binding package and re-installed it a few times. No difference.
I also installed MATE desktop, and installed XFCE. Same result. I understand that XFCE has no desktop binding package (if that package really has anything to do with that). At least, it did get the exact same error.
At this point, I would need advice what I can check further, or what logs I can look into, as I do not know what to look for.
