Gnome 3.10 and x2go server

Hi all,
I'm using Arch at 64 bit with gnome 3.10
I installed x2go server but I'm not able to get it working.
The link is ok, I'm able to connect to the pc and open a session.
It crashes when it tries to show the windows...I get the gnome screen with the "sad face" that informs me about a not specified problem.
If I try to connect using a mac I get this inside the client:

Info: Proxy running in client mode with pid '3567'.
Session: Starting session at 'Tue Feb 4 17:06:18 2014'.
Info: Connecting to remote host 'localhost:31005'.

Any idea?
Thank you!

Install a 2nd desktop (e.g. Xfce) and try to connect from a remote machine. If that will work it could be a gnome related issue. Could be 3D acceleration/Gnome shell related. What gfx driver do you use?

Hi all,
I can't install another DE, it is a productivity machine.
Other ideas?

Thanks a lot.

Re: Gnome 3.10 and x2go server

some questions to clarify the issue :

you got  a productivity machine (i'll call it prodmachine) you want to connect to.
prodmachine runs archlinux 64 bit with gnome 3.10 and has x2go server installed on it ?

using a mac client to connect to prodmachine works ?
what software / version are you using on the mac client to connect with ?

what are you running on the client machine that crashes when trying to show the graphical screen on the prodmachine ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Hi,
I've got the same problem with the current GNOME (3.12.2). It happens independant of the client OS and is GNOME related (KDE works). The log of the client has no unusual entries.
Any ideas?

Re: Gnome 3.10 and x2go server

zauguin, most likely cause would be videodriver .

If the host has an nvidia or amd card, try switching from proprietary to opensource driver and vice versa

If it's an intel card, try latest git version.
