[X2Go-User] ttyname failed error

[Joshua Alexander]

Thanks... got some help in the IRC channel. Changed a line on the remote
server in /etc/bashrc from mesg y to tty -s && mesg y and after doing that
when trying to connect the x2go client gave a more helpful message, namely
that it required XQuartz to be installed. After installing that I was able
to get things working.
