[X2Go-User] Install not working on Ubuntu 12.10

I saw your post:
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/x2go-user/2012-November/001107.html

and wasn't sure if anyone responded to you yet.

that error is caused by sshd_config file entry in Ubuntu which for some
reason seems to change its default from release to release (at least for
me).

in /etc/ssh/ssd_config

Ubuntu defaults to the following:

# Change to yes to enable challenge-response passwords (beware issues with
# some PAM modules and threads)
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no

# Change to no to disable tunnelled clear text passwords
#PasswordAuthentication yes

You will need to change:

ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
to
ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes

and uncomment the following by removing the Hash sign:
#PasswordAuthentication yes

then restart ssh

             sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart

also NOTE that for some reason on some Ubuntu upgrades I have seen the
"PasswordAuthentication" entry have any one of the 2 following defaults


   1. #PasswordAuthentication yes
   2. PasswordAuthentication no

Both of which make "PasswordAuthentication no" the active default.

But with x2go if you want to use login with User ID and Password entry by a
user on the x2go client you have to allow it (set it to yes).
