x2go connection issue

Postby cmorning » Dec 24th, '20, 17:21

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to use, but I have tried searching others with no luck. Any suggestions where to turn to for help would be appreciated.

I just installed x2goclient and server on my mageia 7 systems. When I try to start a connection, I get an error message such as:

Connection failed. Cannot create remote file ~colin/.x2go/ssh/key.ttBlvN - SCP: Warning: status code 1 received: scp: ~colin/.x2go/ssh: No such file or directory


I feel there must be a simple solution to this. It is not a file permission problem, etc. as far as I can tell. The version I have installed (for the client) is
x2goclient-4.1.2.1-2.mga7
The server machine has the following installed
x2goserver-4.0.1.20-3.mga7

Is x2go actually running on the system where you installed the server ? The output as root of
Code: Select all
systemctl status x2goserver.service -al -n250
would be helpful.

The output on the server system is as follows:

Can you check the same again for the ssh server? As root
Code: Select all
systemctl status sshd.service -al -n250

And can you try to manually to connect to the x2go server box as a regular ssh client ?

From what I can tell, this might be occuring since a security update to ssh earlier this year.
Others mentioned that this should be fixed with x2go 4.1.2.2 although I don't know if this also needs an update of the server portion.
You might need to wait for someone else who's using x2go to see if they can confirm this issue.
