Hi! I also saw this issue while trying to connect with X2Go Client for Windows (v. 4.0.5.0) to x2goserver (v. 4.0.1.19-0~1064~ubuntu14.04.1) on a Linux Mint 17 machine.
The connection worked fine until the SSH server on the Linux machine was reconfigured in order to harden it (see the recommendations in https://stribika.github.io/2015/01/04/secure-secure-shell.html). That reconfiguration allowed only the following host keys and key exchange algorithms: HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key KexAlgorithms [email protected],diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256 The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) (and the corresponding /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key) is not enabled because its implementation may use a faulty pseudo-random number generator (i.e. containing a back door created by NSA) as explained in some pages referred by the aforementioned article. After some investigation I found how to get rid of the error: in C:\Users\username\ssh\known_hosts remove the line corresponding to the x2goserver host and ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 key exchange algorithm: x2goserver_host_address ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 ... -- rpr. _______________________________________________ x2go-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-dev
