Debugging is complicated. We do have a page at https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:debugging But most of the time there are special circumstances that lead to failure, which cannot easily be ticked off using a checklist. Even when it would be, the output is huge and usually needs proper interpretation. Difficult to do so without knowing or at least looking at the code. > Indeed, I already searched the /var/log/auth.log , but haven't found a clue of > what's wrong. > So, I thought there must be some basic steps that one may undertake looking > for > what's wrong (logs to search, command lines to execute and check the result > ...) > but I cannot figure out which ones. The general syslog, after enabling server debug output, and client debug output (x2goclient --debug) is more important, but this issue looks a lot like https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs/issues/679 I've only fixed the screen positioning issue today - nightly builds should already have that fix. A workaround is to start x2goclient on your first (normally also primary) display. Are you starting it on a secondary (non-first) display? If yes, then it's likely that this is causing the trouble. > I am willing to help the community by filling some pages in the wiki (so > nobody > will have to bother the mailing list again asking what I am currently asking) > - > I just need to find out how one create an account for the wiki. You can't. User registration has been disabled due to spam bots creating accounts and vandalizing pages. Wiki administrators (Heinz, me) can create new accounts for users. I typically need an email address (mandatory), a nickname (optional but preferred, otherwise I'll guess it) and a real name (optional) for registration and I will create an account accordingly. Mihai
