Package: x2goserver
Version: 4.0.1.19
I have a Linux Mint 18 x2go client and a Debian Testing x2go server. And I update both at random intervals.
Things just worked for ages. I think I went from Linux Mint 15 to 18. Debian is also really uptodate.
Then at one moment - I don't exactly know when because I don't use x2go daily - I started getting this error message.
Connection failed. xset: unable to open display ""
This sounds like one of those xorg errors you get when doing x stuff while not logged into a virtual terminal, but in the case of x2go, I use the magic but don't know how it works, so I have no idea where to start looking.

*) Never heard of there. I don't think I ever installed them. I figured I didn't have them installed before so I installed them now. Didn't fix my problem though.
