[X2Go-User] x2go error: Failed to start Agent (terminated unexpectedly)

Hi all,

I am in the process of evaluating x2go as an alternative to VNC.

It looks very promising, but we are running into an odd issue.

I am running a basic setup: x2goserver-xsession is installed on a CentOS 7 machine, users connect to it using the x2go client (either from Linux or Windows) and receive a KDE desktop.

When connecting, I get this error (from /var/log/messages):

<HOSTNAME> /usr/sbin/x2gocleansessions[124414]:

<USERNAME>-50-1537370420_stDKDE_dp24: state file for this session does not exist: /tmp/.x2go-<USERNAME>/C-<USERNAME>-50-1537370420_stDKDE_dp24/state│ <HOSTNAME> /usr/bin/x2gostartagent: Failed to start X2Go Agent session with ID <USERNAME>-50-1537370420_stDKDE_dp24. X2Go Agent terminated unexpectedly. Aborting session startup. │

The same error "Failed to start agent..." is shown in the x2goclient.

I have narrowed this down to one line in my bashrc: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

If I comment this line, I can start sessions without any issue.

As part of my debugging, I have set the x2go server log level in /etc/x2go/x2goserver.conf:

[log]
loglevel=debug

Any suggestions for next steps? Is my logging level really set correctly, or should I be seeing more?

Thanks,

Tim
