[X2Go-User] x2go stopped working, how do I debug this?

I looked into this again a bit. On another debian machine, the last line
x2go client prints is "check the auth logs", so that's what I did. It does
seem like sessions are being established, but they are getting killed by
the server for some reason

$DATE $HOST systemd-logind[1588]: New session c22 of user $USER.
$DATE $HOST sshd[9219]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user
$USER
$DATE $HOST su[10159]: pam_unix(su:session): session closed for user $USER
$DATE $HOST systemd-logind[1588]: Removed session c22.

Searching around revealed many reports of similar
logout-immediately-after-login issues. I came across this statement in one
of those threads (
http://www.unix.com/unix-for-dummies-questions-and-answers/189449-pam-closing-ssh-session.html
):

"The message doesn't mean PAM forced it to close. It just means that PAM
noticed it closing. You get that for any logout."


So! This suggests that graphical user sessions were crashing / closing for
some reason, that was perhaps not entirely related to x2go. To test this, I
logged in over SSH, created a new user, and was able then to connect to the
new user via x2go. So! Something about switching the machine to a new
network has cause graphical logins for my user to fail. Most likely the
best way to debug this is to see what aspects of my configuration differ
from that of a default/new user.
