Description: x2goclient need xorg-xauth to generate MIT-COOKIE

To be honest I don't know the semantics behind generating and using the cookies, but when I try to login in my CentOS 6 x2go server I get this error:

Warning: X connection failed with error 'Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key'.

Installing xorg-xauth solves the problem. Maybe it should be added as a dependency for x2goclient?

Additional info:
* x2goclient 4.0.5.0


Steps to reproduce:

- Install x2goclient
- Try to login somewhere without xorg-xauth package
This task depends upon

There seems to be something wrong on the server side. The client only depends on nxproxy.
But the server needs xorg-xauth installed. This is also the dependency that Fedora package has:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/x2goserver.git/tree/x2goserver.spec
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/x2goclient.git/tree/x2goclient.spec

The nx sources also include spec files with generic dependencies for all distributions to follow. Feel free to check them. If you can find the issue on the server side please raise that bug on the x2go mailing list and ask if this is a real bug and if xauth needs to be added to the client as well.

I have the same (or at least similar) issue. I can’t connect to the x2go server I need to use without xorg-xauth installed on my client system.

I don’t have a lot (quite none in fact) control on the remote system, so won’t be able to do a lot of things about it. The server is running Ubuntu 14.04.3 BTW.

I think that they just rely on xorg-xauth to be avalaible wherever ssh and X are.

Oh, I’ve think I should add I’m using an ssh proxy, so maybe that’s the cause. I will try again next friday, when I will be on a connection that does not require this. Will report to x2go ML if needed.

It’s not the cause, same problem without ssh proxy, reporting to x2go ML.

The question is here: http://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-user/2016-February/003714.html.

No answer yet. Also, I’m not going to need x2go anymore as of today, so I won’t be tracking this.
