Anyone have any idea why I am unable to reconnect to a running session?

Hi --

I'm trying to reconnect to an existing session using the x2goclient GUI, or using the pyhoca-cli command line. This does not work. I'm also not able to suspend a running session.

When I use x2goclient to re-connect to a server, the old session is listed as running. This is also displayed by the CLI:

$ pyhoca-cli -L --server qc pyhoca-cli[18645] NOTICE: preparing requested X2Go session pyhoca-cli[18645] (PyHocaCLI) NOTICE: preparing requested X2Go session pyhoca-cli[18645] (x2gosessregistry-pylib) NOTICE: registering X2Go session Pyhoca-Client_Session... pyhoca-cli[18645] (x2goclient-pylib) NOTICE: initializing X2Go session... pyhoca-cli[18645] (x2gocontrolsession-pylib) NOTICE: connecting to [qc]:22 pyhoca-cli[18645] (x2gosession-pylib) NOTICE: SSH host key verification for host [qc]:22 with SSH-RSA fingerprint ,,32:90:4a:a5:9e:ee:a6:0a:c9:6a:8c:b5:b3:64:0c:28'' initiated.

When I try to suspend it using the CLI, I'm told that this works, but in fact, it does not:

At another time, when I connected to a server using x2goclient, it created a new session, rather than re-connecting to the suspended session which was running. When I tried to connect to the suspended session, nothing happened. The GUI went blank and no X screen was displayed.

Questions:

1 -- How can I connect to a session which is marked as running?

2 -- How can I suspend a session which is running?

3 -- How can I connect to a suspended session on a server?

4 -- How can I specify the session to connect to using the pyhoca-cli CLI?

Thanks!
