[X2Go-User] Broker and resuming sessions

[Stefan Baur]

David,

If you're using the official, python-based X2Go Broker and are seeing
this issue, it would point to a problem with your session database setup.
You need to set up all X2GoServers to share the same session database
(using postgres, rather than SQLite) - preferably on a dedicated
postgres server that has some kind of failover mechanism.
x2golistsessions --all-servers should show your session if your setup is
working properly.

Also, make sure all the X2GoServers share the same home directories.

Feel free to set up a demo cluster using our instructions here
<https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:x2gobroker> and compare the
behavior/result.

And, of course, there is always the option to pay for commercial support
and have someone knowledgeable "look over your shoulder" via a shared
SSH session - you can find a list of support companies here:

Kind Regards,
Stefan Baur
