[X2Go-User] x2goserver ubuntu 14.10

[Kristof Hardy]

Hi Mike,

I think it's not that big an issue, I just installed Ubuntu14.10 and added
xfce4, after this i installed x2go and did a test login.

The layout looks the same to me now, it seems I only have the
"Authentication is required to change your own user data" prompt. Entering
the correct password or pressing cancel works both :)


Regards,
Kristof.
