Hi,
in the X2Go Client that you want to connect as he second instance (equivalent to screen -x) you have to select session type "Connect to local desktop" in the session profile.
This wording is not quite correct. You can connect to a desktop running on a local display as well as connect to an X2Go desktop session (running headless / on a remote X2Go Client).
Greets, Mike

Is it possible with X2GO to connect to the same session from two different
machines at the same time? Like you would do using "screen -x" for a terminal.
this works with x2goserver natively if you want to share a session for the same user.
When I tried logging in from a second machine, the client showed me a dialog with a list of sessions, with the one session that was "running". I didn't see an option to connect to it, just a grayed out "resume" button, and buttons to suspend or terminate it.
The server version is the one in the PPA, on Ubuntu 14.04. (Sorry my server is shut down at the moment and I don't see the version number on your site.) The client version is the one that comes with Ubuntu 14.04, I haven't added the PPA on my laptop.
Note that x2goserver 4.0.1.18 has a bug around the X2Go Desktop Sharing
feature. 4.0.1.19 will be released soon.
Do you think this is the problem? Is there anything else I can test?
Thanks again.
