Dear all,
We're having issues connecting to an x2go server running on Debian Wheezy. Specifically, we cannot connect to an xfce4 desktop from an OS X client.
The x2go client version is 4.0.3.2 (from MacPorts). The x2go server version is 4.0.1.19-0x2go2+git20150326.1064+wheezy.main.1 (from the x2go Debian repo)
Connections using plain "ssh -Y" or "ssh -X" work fine.
Connections with x2go to a single application work fine.
The permissions of $HOME/.Xauthority are 600
The owner of $HOME/.Xauthority is $USER:$USER
The first attempt to connect will simply fail, without valuable error messages (at least to me), the second attempt will result in:
"Your session was closed before reaching a usable state. This can be due to the local X server refusing access to the client. Please check authorization provided by the remote X application."
Debug output from the client is attached.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Christoph
I just tried this using the same client version, X2Go Client V. 4.0.3.2 (Qt - 4.8.6), originating from a Ubuntu 14.10 system, and connecting to a Debian Wheezy server and got a full working xfce desktop.
The version of server on Wheezy is 4.1.0.0-0x2go1.1~git20150403.1278+wheezy+hueler.1 so perhaps you may want to try updating your server to this version (the most recent) and see if that resolves your problem.
If you need a test account to determine if it is an issue with your client side setup or server, let me know.

Same issue with 4.1.0.0-0x2go1.1~git20150403.1278+wheezy.heuler.1
I don't think it's a client issue because we can connect to an x2go server (xfce4) running on Ubuntu 14.04.
Any further ideas?

My Debian Wheezy server is pretty generic other than a custom kernel,and what I've done to the kernel really shouldn't affect x2go's ability to function except functioning a little faster.
I would suggest enabling debug logging per the Wiki:
http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:debugging
Try to make a connection, then look at the logs to see if there isanything telling there.
Also, can you bring up an xfce desktop locally on the machine?-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Eskimo North Linux Friendly Internet Access, Shell Accounts, and Hosting.

Two things I see in the logs:keyboard file not created: Is a directory

Might try deleting the .x2go-csh contents in /tmp and try again.
Other than that, if you have access to the server, try starting upxfce4-session locally and see if it works or blows up.

Nope, both messages are normal.
Other than that, if you have access to the server, try starting upxfce4-session locally and see if it works or blows up.
From what i understood, running xfce4-session via ssh -X/-Y worked fine.
I figure it's just a missing x2goserver-xsession package.

This can be ignored. In X2Go Server's x2gostartagent, this dir gets
created on purpose to block creation of the keyboard file. It's hacky,
I know, but when implementing automatic keyboard setup, I did not see
any other option.
