Hi,
Installed from EPEL but cannot start because init things not created in /etc at install. Is it a known problem?
Tried with Ubuntu 14.04 and works like a charm.

Hi Gabor,
X2Go does not have a service that needs to be started. As long as the ssh service is running, a client can connect.
X2Go does have a service though. This service is not 100% necessary for X2Go to work, but still recommended. On CentOS7, it is called "x2gocleansessions" and is a systemd service. On Ubuntu 14.04, it is called "x2goserver" and is an init script.
That said, I think I see a bug on CentOS 7: "x2gocleansessions." does not seem to be enabled. I will look into this. I am using x2goserver 4.0.1.15 from EPEL. Technically this test machine is running RHEL 7.0, not CentOS 7.0.

Tried to connect and working. Thank you for detailed answer.
Do you know any difference or limitation between Ubuntu 14.04 and CentOS 7 from X2Go POV?

Hi Gabor,
(I will refer to CentOS 7, RHEL 7, Oracle Linux 7, etc as "EL 7".)
- It appears that you can workaround the aforementioned issue with this command: sudo systemctl enable x2gocleansessions.service
Based on my initial research [1][2], this might not be a workaround but instead a necessary step for installing X2Go from EPEL or from Fedora/EL RPMs in general. I need to do more research though
There might be bugs in x2goserver-xsession in terms of how we handle launching X11 sessions. The Xsession scripts provided by Debian/Ubuntu are very different from those provided by Fedora/EL. I do believe that Mike#1 fixed many of these bugs recently though as part of a contract for improving our EL packages.
If you wish to install the X2Go Session Broker, it is not available in EPEL. But it is available in our nightly builds for EL 7: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:nightly-builds?s[]=nightly
The X2Go Thin Client Environment is not available for EL.

Hi Michael,
After read your answers I think Ubuntu is better choice for X2Go. I am right?

Hi Gabor,
Other than WIndows, I'm primarily using CentOS/RHEL 6/7, and Fedora 20 at my apartment. They're working well for me, about as well as the 1 Ubuntu 14.04 machine I have.
If I needed the Session Broker or the Thin Client environment, I would have trouble. But I do not need them. Those are really "advanced setups" for X2Go.
1 year ago our support for those distros was not as good. But things have improved greatly since then. Thank you very much Mike Gabriel (Mike#1)(CC'd) and Orion (CC'd) for those improvements.

Hi Michael,
Ultimate goal for me is use of the Session Broker. :-) But not tried yet. I see available as nightly build.
