Thank you Uli for keeping the ball rolling!!! Following your suggestion, I pgrep -f x2goagent And got a number of ongoing processed that I am not allowed to kill. e.g. pkill: killing pid 133596 failed: Operation not permitted
So I tried to figure out if any of those were mine: pgrep -f x2goagent -u sani pgrep -f x2goagent -s sani-67-1637314001_stDXFXF_dp32 But no line appeared Is it possible that my crashed session is not listed there?

Likely it does not applies. putty to your server, run pkill -f x2goagent -> will kill all _your_ x2gosessions. > You can try to use mobaxterm to connect to your server and see if you > can run "x2goagent :1" there.

Mobaxterm is an alternative to putty which comes with an embedded X server. The only thing you need is ssh access to the server, which you (obviously) have.There's a portable version of mobaxterm that can be run without installation. > > > I tried to visualize the Archive of this mailing list but I could not find > > a way to search previous posts. > > see https://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user respectively > https://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-user/ > > I had seen the list of Archived posts > (https://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-user/). > I started searching by clicking on the first Thread or Subject, then the > second, third, and so on... > I was wondering is there was a way to visualize them all in a long list so > that one can ctrl-F keywords. Well, I am not aware. But you can use google to and limit the search with "site:lists.x2go.org" Uli _______________________________________________ x2go-user mailing list x2go-user@lists.x2go.org https://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user
