Folks

I have been unable to get X2go to work on a Centos 7 server. I have tried both the out-of-the-box GNOME desktop and the Xfce as well.

In both cases, the view from the client is that the screen starts to appear, then goes away. On the server, I see the following messages in /var/log/messages (I have erased the user name and replaced it with XXX). The server is running as a virtual machine on a Win7 system (using VMWare), and the "YYY" mentioned below is the Win7 user. "Goat" is the name of the server.

Oct 31 13:10:45 goat systemd: Starting Session 71 of user XXX. Oct 31 13:10:45 goat systemd-logind: New session 71 of user XXX. Oct 31 13:10:45 goat systemd: Started Session 71 of user XXX.

As you can see, this particular run was using Xfce.

I would appreciate guidance, and yes, I have read the "manual", and also at least one "howto" specific to Centos 7.

The version of the x2go server is

[root@goat log]# rpm -qa | grep x2go x2goserver-4.0.1.18-1.el7.x86_64 x2goagent-3.5.0.27-1.el7.x86_64 x2goserver-xsession-4.0.1.18-1.el7.x86_64 [root@goat log]#

the X2go client on Win7 works just fine with my Centos6 and Debian servers. I found no way to capture the commentary produced by the X2go client.
