Dear X2go Team,

For some reason the SSH_CLIENT environment variable is not set by the ssh-connection.

I looks to me that a newer ssh server on debian does not set the SSH_CLIENT variable anymore.
This variable is needed by x2gostartagent script and later by the x2goserver.
I added manually the variable to the /usr/bin/x2goagent script by adding these lines:
set -- $SSH_CONNECTION
SSH_CLIENT="$1 $2 $4"
export SSH_CLIENT
---
But still the x2goserver did not start.  Here is the output from the client side (Raspberry PI):
$ x2goclient --session=lokal
ONMainWindow constructor

primary screen geometry:  QRect(0,0 3200x1080)
ONMainWindows constructor finished, home Directory is: "/home/fraroot"

read  3  sessions from config file
start new ssh connection to server: "192.168.1.6" : "22" krb:  false

ssh connection ok

continue normal x2go session

executing remote command:  "sh -c "export HOSTNAME && x2golistsessions""

"x2gostartagent 1440x900 adsl 16m-jpeg-9 unix-kde-depth_24 de pc105/de 1 D LXDE"

executing remote command:  "sh -c "x2gostartagent 1440x900 adsl 16m-jpeg-9 unix-kde-depth_24 de pc105/de 1 D LXDE""

Agent output: "The $SSH_CLIENT environment variable is not set. Aborting session startup.
"
Bus-Zugriffsfehler
------------

The new environment variable is $SSH_CONNECTION and the environment variable $SSH_CLIENT will be gone
in future ssh releases.

I did set the variable in /etc/profile and in /usr/bin/x2goagent, but it did not help.
Attached you find all the output and details about this environment.  

Thank you very much and have a nice day,
Franz Lückl

Hello Franz,

In #628 you wrote
> But when I say
> # apt-get download x2goclient
> I get  x2goclient_3.99.2.1-5_armhf.deb
> And this version makes a lot of problems with an X2goserver 4.0.1.16.

It remains unclear in #644 if you are still trying to use client
3.99.2.1-5_armhf.deb.

Please, provide both for x2goserver and x2goclient the version, the
architecture, the Linux distribution, and the apt repository you are using.

Best regards

Heinrich Schuchardt

Changes: 
 x2goserver (4.0.1.19-0x2go1) RELEASED; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Mike Gabriel ]
   * New upstream version (4.0.1.19):
     - Use File::Which to detect if sshfs command is available
       before trying to mount a client-side folder.
     - Be a bit more tolerant when trying to detect if a
       desktop icon is to be removed (using regexp, not
       eq).
     - Xsession script: Prevent bash failures when sourcing external bash
       scripts beyond our scope. (Fixes: #632, #675).
     - x2gogetapps: Support scanning of sub-directories when searching for
       .desktop files. We allow to dive down one level into subdirs, we on
       purpose do not recursively dive into the complete subtree. (Fixes: #633).
     - Make man2html an optional tool. Don't fail if it is missing on the
       build system (required for openSUSE/SLES builds).
     - Fix x2goserver-xsession/Makefile on SUSE. Detect SUSE distro and create
       Xsession related directory symlinks (xinitrc.d and Xclients.d).
     - Hack for x2goserver-xsession/Makefile during SUSE builds. If
       directoy /usr/share/doc/packages/brp-check-suse is present, the build env
       is also considered to be a SUSE system.
     - Trigger Xsession code for SUSE systems (look for /etc/SUSE-brand or
       /etc/SuSE-release for SUSE system recognition). (Fixes: #671).
     - x2gosqlitewrapper.c: Fix rpmlint error: no-return-in-nonvoid-function.
       Return the exitcode of execve().
     - Fix gramma in error message (in x2goresume-session).
     - x2gocleansessions: Call x2gormforward also on terminated sessions. This
       will make sure that re-assigned ports are really available on new session
       startup.
     - x2golistsessions(_root): Only update session state in session DB if
       x2goagent's state file really exists. This addresses a problem that occurs
       when x2golistsessions gets called via an x2gobroker-agent. The
       x2golistsessions script may show session states (--all-servers) of
       sessions on other servers that have session states files on their remote
       /tmp dirs. These files are not accessible for that x2golistsessions script
       and should simply be ignored. (Fixes: #638).
     - Provide pam_namespace support for has_agent_state_file() function.
     - Fix missing session list output if state file does not exist on the
       machine that runs x2golistsessions(_root).
     - Accept more verbose "DENY" output from x2godesktopsharing.
     - Make sure that all "su"-to-user-contexts use /bin/sh for wrapping around
       the executed command (in x2gocleansessions and x2golistsessions_root).
     - Also enforce /bin/sh as shell in su command in x2goprint.
     - README.i18n: Add file that explains the translation workflow for
       this package. Thanks to Mark Pedersen-Cook for drafting this file.
     - Make SSH agent forwarding work after having reconnected via SSH and
       having resumed a session. (Fixes: #672). Thanks to Robert Siemer for
       coming up with that idea.
     - Fix cross-user X2Go Desktop Sharing after being broken by implementing
       clipboard mode feature (and probably other code changes).
     - Document session startup / resumption failures (and their reasons) in
       server-side log output.
     - Handle AD domain users gracefully when X2Go is used with SQLite DB
       backend. (Fixes: #664).
     - Improve sanitizer, use 'x2gosid' sanitizer for session IDs everywhere.
       Drop unused 'pnixusername' sanitizer in 4.0.1.x release of X2Go Server.
     - Allow usernames in session IDs of length 48 chars.
     - Start sshfs with a timeout of 30 seconds (because it never finishes if
       something is wrong with the client-side TCP socket). Also remove/unmount
       mountpoints erroneously registered sshfs mountpoints if sshfs command
       times out. Furthermore, print errors to STDERR (not STDOUT). (Fixes:
       #405).
     - Handle execution of ss command from Perl script x2golistdesktops in a way
       that not only works on Debian, but also on Fedora et al. (Fixes: #727).
     - Provide legacy support for old File::Path packages in x2godbadmin.
       (Fixes: #715).
     - Fix wrong evocation of x2gosyslog ("error" -> "err").
     - Use "undef $dbh" instead of "$dbh->disconnect()". Fixes SQLite3 issues on
       SLE 11.x.
     - Only call $dbh->sqlite_busy_timeout() if the $dbh object is capable of
       that. Works around a too-old DBD::SQLite package on SLE 11.x.
     - Legacy for applications (and X2Go scripts) that expect $SSH_CLIENT to be
       set in the X2Go session's environment. (Fixes: #644).
     - Add man page for x2gogetapps. Weave into that a security / disclaimer
       message as proposed by Stefan Baur. (Fixes: #728).
   * debian/control:
     + Add D (x2goserver): libfile-which-perl.
     + Add C (x2goserver: x2godesktopsharing (<< 3.1.1.2-0~). (Fixes: #700).
     + Bump Standards: to 3.9.6. No changes needed.

       non-SUSE builds.
     + Add to R: x2goserver-xsession.
     + Don't mention /etc/x2go/x2gosql/sql twice (directly and with wildcard).
     + No %{_sysconfdir}/x2go/Xclients.d on SUSE systems.
     + Use %{_localstatedir} instead of %{_sharedstatedir}.
     + Use proper if... then... clauses.
     + For SUSE builds: Add to R: shadow (useradd, groupadd).
     + Replace historical "egrep" with "grep -E".
     + Systemd support for SUSE >= 12.10.
     + Set %defattr macro for every bin:package.
     + SUSE and Fedora/RHEL have different package group names.
     + Add x2goserver-rpmlintrc file to handle some rpmlint errors and warnings.
     + SUSE has openssh, but no openssh-server.
     + Add to R (x2goserver): perl-X2Go-Server.
     + Add to R (diverse): perl(Config::Simple), perl(Switch) and
       perl(Capture::Tiny).
     + Add to R (x2goserver): perl(File::BaseDir).
     + Don't hard-code /var/lib/ in $HOME path of to-be-created user
       "x2gouser".
     + Add to BR: findutils.
     + For Fedora-like systems, don't make x2goserver bin:package authoritative
       for non-X2Go directories. (Fixes: #676).
     + Remove macro call %systemd_pre for Fedora/EPEL-7 builds. No such macro in
       Fedora/RHEL7. (Fixes: 698).
     + Create system user x2gouser with $HOME in /var/lib/x2go. (Fixes: #697).
     + Always set BuildRoot: parameter.

     + Requires (x2goserver-xsession): SUSE <= 11.3 has xorg-x11, not xinit.
     + No Bashisms in scriptlets.
     + rpmlint requires shared-mime-info at build time on SLE <= 11.3.
     + "%set_permissions" / "%verify_permissions" macros are not know in SLE <=
       11.3. Using "%run permissions" and "%verify permissions" instead.
     + On SUSE, add permissions.d/x2goserver.
     + Fix SQLite wrapper permissions (02775 -> 02755)
     + Use if then clauses for creating user/group x2goprint.
