Hi all,

Asking for help please troubleshooting an issue with x2go.

Inbound connections stopped working after I updated the kernel and nvidia drivers on my centos workstation (the x2go server).  

On the client, the error message says "Connection failed. Failed to start X2Go Agent session with ID account-_____. X2Go Agent terminated unexpectedly. Aborting session startup."

[If I attempt a connecion again the client shows a previous apparently pre-existing connection, but I cannot resume it.]

On the server, the session log says "Error: Aborting session with 'Unable to open display 'nx/nx,options=...". I have attempted uninstalling and reinstalling x2goserver from epel.

This symptoms are similar to an issue Mihai Moldovan resolved for Qianqian Fang in April: https://www.mail-archive.com/x2go-user@lists.x2go.org/msg02809.html

However, I do not have the offending line set in LD_LIBRARY_PATH which solved the issue for Qianqian.

#Contents of LD_LIBRARY_PATH (this is from env after ssh-in).
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64:/home/[...]/caffe/distribute/lib/::/usr/lib:/usr/lib/python2.7

I also attempted commenting out this setting from .bashrc, and that did not fix it.

I've copied below answers to some questions Mihai asked Qianqian. The only strange thing I noticed is that Mihai asked for the contents of /usr/lib64/nx/X11 , and this is empty. The library Qianqian listed in there is located at /usr/lib64 on my server.

Some more details below, answering questions that were made on this earlier, similar troubleshooting request.

Best regards, thanks for any help,
Ale
