Things I tried, but did not work:

- check if user is a member of "x2gousers" group in /etc/group
- check if user is a member of "fuse" group in /etc/group
- reset password of user to make sure not entering wrong password
- set DisallowTCP to false in /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas
- remove "-nolisten tcp" from /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc
- run the command `xhost +x` (from the command line it gives an error "xhost: unable to open display """ caused by no active display (and therefore no $DISPLAY environment variable), so I also tried entering this from within an VNC session and the command completed normally, also tried this with an Xvfb xsession)
- allowed login with passwords in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- restart ssh service
- restart EC2 instance
- tried installing packages x2goserver-home, x2goserver-one, x2goserver (and removed installations between trying different packages)

When I tried different NX servers, I always used the corresponding client (I have been careful not to mix up different clients with different servers). For x2goserver I am using x2goclient from the repository, I am using it on Ubuntu 9.04 desktop 64-bit edition. My settings are:

name: test
hostname: <EC2 public dns here>
login: ubuntu
ssh port: 22
use rsa/dsa key for SSH connection: <tried different settings, tried to leave it empty, tried the key I got from amazon, tried a key which was sitting in ~/.ssh/id_rsa; tried all possibilities with and without password>
session type: GNOME

In all cases the error on the server stays the same.

I've been using AMI's from Alestic or one's I build myself. But x2go's been working solid.

So you did all the normal things like change /etc/ssh/sshd_config
to allow login with passwords
and the user is a member of x2gousers 'group'
etc

    Yes, it is an Ubuntu Server AMI with ubuntu-desktop installed, the
    desktop is working with VNC so that part seems to have gone OK.

    FYI it was an alestic.com <http://alestic.com> Ubuntu 10.10 image,
    did you get the image from Canonical?

    Note sure what you are doing but I've got quite a few ubuntu
    10.10 servers on amazon
    that I connect to using x2go.     Lack of the video card on those
    AWS EC2 machines
    makes no difference in regards to x2go.

    But you have installed a "desktop" on those AWS instances?

    If you created an instance from an Ubuntu Server AMI then you
    would need to

    /sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop/

    or install some "light" desktop.

    Hi,

    I tried to get this working all night, but it seems there is no
    way to
    connect to an ubuntu 10.10 installation using x2go (package
    x2goserver-home). When trying to connect, x2goagent is
    complaining about
    not being able to open a display (in the session log). The
    machine is an
    Amazon EC2 instance, which has no video card. I suspect this is
    causing
    the trouble. I have read it was working on ubuntu 10.04 by the
    way, as
    in http://blog.restbackup.com/how-to-use-amazon-ec2-as-your-desktop

    I also tried freenx, neatx and nxserver (from nomachine), and
    they all
    give similar errors. Tightvncserver on the other hand does work,
    maybe
    that's not so useful information, but just in case.

    The server log says:

    $ cat session.log
    /usr/bin/x2goagent: line 1: -e: command not found

    I'd really like to try NX, since it appearantly works faster than
    VNC.
    Please advice.

    Kind regards,

    jmm
