I attempted to replace the nomachine 3.5 product on my Centos 6.6 servers with an X2go server, but I cannot log on to it. The popup error is:
Connection failed xset: unable to open display "" xset: unable to open display ""
Most of the advice about this error suggests that ssh X remoting is not
working, but I've verified that it is useing either an exported DISPLAY or
the -X option.
However; if I logon as root it works! If I create a NEW user on the server
and logon to that it works. I just can't logon to a user that used to run
NX! I took a problem user's home dir and moved it, and created an empty
home, and x2go logs on correctly.
So its something to do with the settings in the old home dirs as established
by NX I suppose but I can't figure out what.
Anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance wendell nichols

Ideas, yes, but it's fishing in the dark.
Check your hidden files in ~/ (i.e., those starting with a dot.)
Especially look at stuff like .profile, .login, .bashrc, .bash_profile etc.
I hope you're actually using bash... if not, check the config files of the actual shell.

I've run into this, it can be something in their .profile or .bashrccausing issues. Try just moving those files out of the way and if it fixes it then move one at a time to determine which then examine the file for anyhing that might explode if not attached to a terminal for example. Or comment out half the file, try it, comment out half of whaterver portion is broken (i.e. a binary search).
