Why do you need to start X, doesn't x2go run its own X session? You are trying to start X in an SSH session, which is what gives your error. The line I suggested runs startx only if you are not logging in via SSH. No display manager is involved. -- Neil Bothwick If you got the words it does not mean you got the knowledge.
