Hello and thanks in advance to those who take the time to respond.
I tried this before and it doesn't work. I have my x2go client machine and my x2go server. The server ( I have tried POP_Os, Ubuntu, LXLE and Lubuntu) and I am able to install it properly. My problem is that from the client side, I use my firewall to send a WOL pocket to turn on some of the machines which do not stay on 24/7. The ones that are always on I just launch the session and I am in. When I wake up a machine or reboots because of a power outage, I can use a terminal and log on to the machines via ssh. I open the ssh port on the firewall and I can log on just fine. This is the problem, while I can log on to the machine via SSH I can't connect with the x2go client right after the machine boots up. I have to manually walk to the machine and log on by entering my user name and password and then I can connect with the x2go client. This is not a problem in my local lab but it is a problem for the remote machines where there isn't always someone there to log on to the machine so I can then log on using the x2go client. Once logged in, no problem, I can lock the machine, put it to sleep, wake it again with WOL and log on with the x2go client again and again.
Any suggestions as to where I can look at or what configuration setting to add or change so I can launch as session and get the log on screen of the server?
Thanks again
Charlie

To me, your description sounds like you're using X2Go to mirror the local display. I'm not quite sure if that is supposed to work with no one logged in; my guess is that the behavior you are seeing should be considered "works as designed".
You should always be able to run a native X2Go session (by selecting the name of the Desktop Environment you want to use in the X2Go Session Configuration). This will also be faster than mirroring, allow audio and clipboard forwarding, as well as file and printer sharing.
Please post a screenshot of your current session configuration in X2GoClient if the problem persists.

HI again,

Correcting myself, X2Go session mirroring is for mirroring local
desktop sessions and of course, also for mirroring headless X2Go
sessions. But not for connecting to a computer where no user has
logged in so far.
