There was a /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt file on the remote system, I copied it's concents also to /etc/x2go/rgb and still having issues. The main issue I Have narrowed down is that it's xterm. If I open up a terminal on remote system and run a "xterm -bg 'white' -fg 'black'" it comes up with "Color name not defined" errors, as it can't find a reference to those values. If I run xterm with the actual values instead of the color name though it opens fine.

I'm not exactly sure why x2go sessions are not working with the files in place.

My apologies but not seeing this sooner, we were told by the software devs that the program does source the rgb.txt file for color values. I must have completely missed this email somehow but will test out what was said.

Color issues might have to do with the rgb file not being found (or being incomplete). IIRC we have fixed something in the coming 3.6.x release in this regard. Please test if the problem persists with current nx beta, http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:nx-libs-betatesting.

You could also check if one of these rgb files exist (add .txt extension). They are searched in this order:

static char* nxAltRgbPaths[] = {"/etc/x2go/rgb", \
                                "/usr/share/x2go/rgb", \
                                "/usr/local/share/x2go/rgb", \
                                "/etc/nxagent/rgb", \
                                "/usr/share/nx/rgb", \
                                "/usr/local/share/nx/rgb", \
                                "/usr/NX/share/rgb", \
                                "/usr/share/X11/rgb", \
                                "/etc/X11/rgb"};


So if you find one compare it to the one you real X server is using (should be visible in /var/log/Xorg.0.log).

Or maybe, instead of checking all this: simply copy the rgb.txt from your X server to /etc/x2go/rgb.txt and retry.
