Hi,
I've recently been trying to use X2go to connect to a Rpi3 running the latest ubuntu mate 17.10 This seems to work when selecting xfce or a new session but doesn't work when trying to connect to the local desktop (which is already logged in) I even tried installing / running x2godesktopsharing on the server side then enabling shared desktop, but that didn't have any affect (I think that's only needed for different users normally)
- client - Windows 10 / latest X2go client 4.1.0.0
- server - Rpi3 / Ubuntu Mate / latest x2goserver 4.0.1.22-0~1197~ubuntu17.10.1
It just seems to jump out with the following message on the client "The connection with the remote server was shut down. Please check the state of your network connection"
- I was able to rule out the client as the problem by connecting from windows to a x64 gentoo vm / local desktop vm which worked fine on the local desktop setting (same version 4.0.1.22 server)
- I also tried connecting from a linux client to the rpi but with same results
- For the rpi as the server, this only seems to affect connections to the local desktop, connections using a new session in the drop down work okay
Logs attached below any ideas on how to get this going? one difference I've spotted with a working setup is the message "state file for this session does not exist" in the server logs

Many Thanks Richard
Hi Richard,
Sharing the physical desktop on the Pi is currently not supported - my guess is that it's broken due to the different and rather peculiar GPU architecture on that platform.
As a workaround, you could try this:
Save this bash script as /usr/local/bin/localscreen on the pi:
#!/bin/bash
vncviewer -listen &
VNCVPID=$!
while ! netstat -tulpen 2>/dev/null |
awk '$9 ~ /\/vncviewer$/ { print $9 }' |
grep -q $VNCPID ; do
sleep 1
done
x11vnc -display :0 -ncache_cr -connect localhost -rfbport 0
kill $VNCVPID
then run
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/localscreen
And create a new X2Go session profile for a single application. Instead of one of the offered options (Terminal, Browser, etc.), enter:
localscreen
Now, when you connect using that session profile, with the same user that is logged in locally, it should grant you access to the local desktop.
What this script does is it starts vncclient in listening mode (Port 5500), checks that it is running, then tells x11vnc to attach to the physical display (-display :0), and to start in "dial-out" mode, connecting to the VNC client running on the pi (-connect localhost) - in your current X2Go session. It does so without a password, which may seem insecure at first, but the -rfbport 0 part of the command line makes sure that no one else can attach to the session as the server doesn't have a listening port that way.
Kind Regards, Stefan Baur

This is I think an issue with Ubuntu, it won't allow two graphical loginsfrom same user on same machine, but if you originate with a different UID than you connect with it is okay.

The relevant information is probably in the server side session log (/tmp/.x2go-<username>/C-<username>-<displaynum>.*/session.log. You should find the reason why the connect did fail.
I would also suggest switching to nx 3.5.99.13 which offers the tolerancechecks (see man nxagent) option to make reconnects possible where 3.5.0 simply does not allow them. Here's how: https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:nx-libs-betatesting
You'd have to suspend your session, then edit /tmp/.x2go-<username>/C-<username>../options (add the tolerancechecks=<yourvalue> option), then try to reconnect.

I have found this not only happens with x2go but also with nx and vncand I believe it has to do with systemd sessions.

Can you try if "loginctl enable-linger <userername>" helps? See https://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1198, ist should be done automatically in x2goserver 4.0.1.21
