Hey all,
I want to use X2Go at CentOS 6.2. So I installed a KVM virtual maschine with a CentOS 6.2 minimal system. I installed GNOME and X11 with a yum groupinstall command like follows:
yum groupinstall "Desktop" "Desktop Platform" "X Window System" "Fonts"
Than I added the RHEL6 X2Go Rep which is listed at the X2Go Page (http://www.x2go.org/doku.php/external:linux-distributions).
Than I installed x2goserver, python-x2go and x2gognomebindings like follows:
yum install x2goserver python-x2go x2gognomebindings
After this I added a profil in PyHoca, to connect to the server and tried to start a GNOME session. PyHoca says that it starts the session and immediatly after the startup it says that the session is shut down. So PyHoca doesn't get to the point that it start a session window or something like that it directly shut down the session.
The only thing I found on a logfile (/var/log/messages) is that the session got start correctly. Here is the log entry:
Jun 15 20:45:45 testdom0 /usr/bin/x2gostartagent: successfully started X2Go agent session with ID lukas-51-1339785943_stDGNOME_dp17 Jun 15 20:45:49 testdom0 /usr/bin/x2goruncommand: launching session with Xsession-x2go mechanism, using STARTUP="gnome-session"
There is no more information in the logfiles, no errors, no warnings or something like that.
Does someone have a working x2goserver on CentOS and can explain what to do to get it running with PyHoca as client? Or can someone give me information where the error could be located? <snip> I do not know if this is still an issue with the newer versions but, in

We never fully resolved the issue but it wasn't that X had to be running. It was that starting X started some process which X2Go needed but could not start as a non-privileged user. If you start X from the console, even if it fails, does that now enable you to connect using X2Go Client? - John
Hello John,
I have set the system from runlevel 3 to 5 so that X is running and then I can connect to the x2goserver and the session starts. So it seems that it was the problem which you have explained that the x2goserver can't start the X session correctly and so the session directly get closed.
I want to thank you for the help and only can say to all developers, supports and contributers do further such a good work. The support for different distributions seems to grow now and I only can say that X2Go is the most useful tool which I use everyday.
Best Regards
