Thanks, Mike.

I got some time to look more closely at this recently.   I turned on the highest debugging level, and it logged more, but I didn't find any smoking guns.

After some more digging, I found that the user account in question was using the shell "/bin/sh".   If I changed that shell to "/bin/bash" the session works fine.     I saw an old bug report of a problem with using tcsh, but nothing for sh.   This is on an Ubuntu Linux 12.04 system.

Thanks,
Tom

I'm just starting to use x2go, and it has mostly worked great.   But, I

account and logging in with that has usually succeeded as a workaround.
But, obviously that's not a solution.

I'm sure there is a simple fix for this, like cleaning up some lost session
data.  But, my attempts thus far have failed.    Are there any session
debugging tips available?  Or, pointers for where to look or how to enable
more debugging output?


In /etc/x2go/x2goserver.conf you can set the X2Go Server loglevel to debug. X2Go Server logs to syslog.

If you use PyHoca-GUI as a client (which has a much more verbose debugging output) then you can enable --libdebug on the command line. PyHoca-GUI logs to stderr.

There also might be some errors in ~/.xsession-x2go-errors if you have the package x2goserver-xsession installed.

To give you more advice (once who have debugged yourself a little) we need a bit more information (what distro, what version, what desktop shell, etc.)

Best,
Mike
