[X2Go-Dev] Bug#1063: CreateDB fails with error `DBI connect('dbname=/var/lib/x2go/x2go_sessions', '', ...) failed`

[Sivachidambaram Somu]

My bad. I have given below the output of the mount command on my machine.

% mount

/dev/xvda1 on / type auto (rw,noatime)

proc on /proc type proc (rw)

sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)

devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)

tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)

/dev/mapper/ephemeralVG-ephemeral on /local type ext4 (rw)

none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)

fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)

Also, I meant "x2go_sessions" file. The x2golistsessions script is
executable by all users and present under /usr/bin as you said.

% ls -lhrt /usr/bin/x2golist*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3.3K Apr 27  2015 */usr/bin/x2golistsessions*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.4K Apr 27  2015 */usr/bin/x2golistmounts*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3.0K Apr 27  2015 */usr/bin/x2golistdesktops*
