x2go Connection failed. bash: bash: command not found

Question

I want to connect from my home pc with VPN (ubuntu-18.04) to work pc (ubuntu 18.04) using x2go.

Server side installation:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:x2go/stable

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install x2goserver x2goserver-xsession

Client side installation:

sudo apt-get install x2goclient

I am able to ssh to my remote desktop, but x2go doesn't work. Problem seems to be in the server side, since I tried to x2go connect from different computer (CentOs) and error was the same.

Client session preferences window:

I tried almost everything in session preferences, even with RSA key (I have it) or single application session type and many else, always the same error.

Client debug log: (x2goclient --debug)

If someone was interested, I can show server's side /var/log/syslog

Thank you for your help

Answer 1

It was my bad, silly me. I had a typo in /etc/environment file and I didn't notice it because I haven't restarted my PC after that typo. After fixing it, it worked.

Answer 2

Please try moving your .bashrc aside and retry.
