[X2Go-User] Trying to raise a bug issue and workaround - where?

[Joshua Kite]

I have been asked to describe the bug here:

I am using x2goclient: 4.1.2.2 on Mac ARM  installed via Homebrew,
primarily to access an Ubuntu server via SSH. I have been doing this
largely successfully for years. Last week I updated to MacOS Sequoia. When
I go to connect to my server from the GUI 'New Session' I consistently get
'Failed to connect: No route to host'.

If instead of launching X2go in the normal mac way by clicking on the app
icon, i do in terminal

/Applications/x2goclient.app/Contents/MacOS/x2goclient

The same operation for 'new session' is successful. I see this output in my
shell:

x2go-INFO-1> "Starting X2Go Client 4.1.2.2..."
x2go-WARNING-1> English language requested, not loading translator.
x2go-WARNING-1> English language requested, not loading translator.
x2go-INFO-3> "Started X2Go Client."
2024-09-30 14:36:11.522 x2goclient[58808:5273496] +[IMKClient
subclass]: chose IMKClient_Legacy
2024-09-30 14:36:11.522 x2goclient[58808:5273496] +[IMKInputSession
subclass]: chose IMKInputSession_Legacy
x2go-INFO-8> "Starting connection to server: 192.168.1.101:22"

I recently had an issue with another app after updating to Sequoia with a
workaround: https://github.com/zim-desktop-wiki/zim-desktop-wiki/issues/2665
I am wondering if the issue is cmoparable here - some sort of environment
variable or locale being required but not otherwise being sourced correctly
since Sequoia
