Actually, that makes sense - we've only started using DT_RUNPATH with nx-libs 3.5.99.14, starting with March when we also switched to using this new version. Before that, we inserted the correct link through LD_LIBRARY_PATH as well, but I cannot remember if it was prepended or appended. If it was prepended, your modification would have worked, otherwise not. So it's been a combination of both things. Try to keep LD_LIBRARY_PATH trimmed down. I understand that you may need it for the nVidia binary driver and CUDA to work, but this might become problematic in the future. Currently, we're statically linking in a copy of MESA into nxagent and don't use the system libGL version that is normally provided by MESA, but this might change in the future. If the system libGL references the nVidia binary version, you'll run into problems again. It's not something that will hit you right away, but likely at an unspecific point in the future. Just as a heads-up. Mihai signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ x2go-user mailing list x2go-user@lists.x2go.org https://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user

[X2Go-User] Aborting session with 'Unable to , open display , 'nx/nx'
I changed the title of this thread. I believe this error message is the cause of the problem, but I don't know how to fix. Right now, among the dozen Ubuntu 14.04 servers I run, half of them x2go works, and other half do not work. all machines have applied the latest updates (x2go 4.1.0-1517 for the server components, 4.1.1.1-1719 for the client, and libnx-x11-6: 2:3.5.99.16-0) I compared the package versions, I can't see any difference between the servers that x2go works vs those failed - all x2go/nx components have identical versions. when connecting to the machine have problems, the server side log gives "|Unable to open display 'nx/nx|", full log see below. this issue only happens in March after some x2go package updates. please help!
