I'd check to make sure that your default shell is bash, and that you
don't have any commands in bashrc, profile, ... that require a TTY to be
present.

"mesg n" (note: it's "mesg", not "megs") seems like a likely candidate.

Please review the thread
<http://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-user/2015-January/002840.html> -
this one should give you an idea which files you need to check.

See e.g. these threads in the list archives, where people had similar
issues:
<http://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-user/2016-August/003881.html>
<http://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-dev/2015-December/010789.html>
as well as the corresponding bug report
