[X2Go-User] Network of Debian 12 workstations, seem to have SSH issues more than X2Go issues

[Nasi Chassoulas]

Hi all,

My first post here. I have spent a few weeks trying to set up X2Go to 
manage a small network of Debian based workstations. Some of them are 
user workstations, some headless servers, some using Gnome (X11 as far 
as possible, not Wayland).

I have had some success accessing user desktops sessions, but I have 
broken this with some sshd_config changes.

I would appreciate any advice. I have checked some logs, with this being 
the most obvious issue.

XSession-x2go: X session started for administrator at Tue 16 Jan 2024 20:51:43 SAST
dbus-update-activation-environment: setting DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/tmp/dbus-kVdJKgUoT3,guid=bc3f454dec8a0f9639cff89f65a6d03f
dbus-update-activation-environment: setting DISPLAY=:51
dbus-update-activation-environment: setting XAUTHORITY=/home/administrator/.Xauthority
dbus-update-activation-environment: warning: error sending to systemd: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1
xrdb: Connection reset by peer
xrdb: Can't open display ':51'
xhost:  unable to open display ":51"

In the X2Go client, on some clients I get the 'session select' window, 
on others I get stuck in a password prompt loop.

If its not a basic issue with X, I suspect its with SSH.

I appreciate any help offered. Thanks for the development of a great 
product.

Thanks,

Nasi
