[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Package: X2goclient
Version: 4.1.2.2.-2020-02-13

Operating system
Windows 10 version 2005 (OS build 19041.1415)

Issue
The x2go client worked the last few days.
Suddenly I could not start the app anymore and it crashes with an error

"Can't start X.org Server.
Please check your installation"


Error Screenshot
[cid:image003.png@01D808A0.42DDC790]


Error message
"Can't start X.org Server.
Please check your installation"


I can't even disable the error, as soon as the error is displayed, the application crashes.
[cid:image002.png@01D808A0.42DDC790]

Troubleshooting/analysis

Possibly a Windows update crashed the application, but I cannot find any proof or logging what exactly is crashing.

Eventviewer:

EventID 0
The following information was included with the event:

sshd: PID 14632: error: Bind to port 7022 on :: failed: Operation not permitted.

The request is not supported

And also

The following information was included with the event:

sshd: PID 14632: fatal: Cannot bind any address.

The request is not supported





Kind regards,
Peter GEELEN
