I just found out that I can use x2go if I use the RSA-/DSA-key option instead of typing my password. What version of libssh? Any help to downgrade libssh or x2goclient? Can you try https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2014-1402/x2goclient-4.0.1.3-2.fc20 Any special characters? What keyboard layout do you use? * libssh: 0.6.0-1.fc20 * How can I downgrade? * Installing 4.0.1.3-2 doesn't help * Yes, using special characters in my password, of course. And German keyboard layout. But as mentioned, I tried with copy/paste (entering password visible in editor and then pasting). But to make sure, I just rechecked with a "simple" password, doesn't help. To downgrade: yum downgrade libssh Running sshd in DEBUG3 logging mode on the server and looking the /var/log/secure messages from a connection could verify what password is transmitted. * Downgrading libssh solves the problem * From what I see in DEBUG3, it closes the connection before passwords are exchanged (I cannot find the password in the log) Now question is, is it safe to use the downgraded libssh? Surly the latest version fixes security issues... It's safe - 0.6.0 was more of a (apparently broken) feature update. The other workaround should be to delete the server's entry in your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file. No. I even deleted the complete ~/.ssh/known_hosts to be sure: doesn't help. Ah, you are correct, I wonder why.. Okay, I figured this out. Indeed a bug in x2goclient. x2goclient-4.0.1.3-3.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/x2goclient-4.0.1.3-3.fc19 x2goclient-4.0.1.3-3.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/x2goclient-4.0.1.3-3.fc20 x2goclient-4.0.1.3-3.fc20 works for me. Very nice. Thanks! That error goes away for me, but x2goclient still fails later: Connection failed Can not create remote file ~user/.x2go/ssh/key.HfB525 - scp status code 1d not valid Yeah, that's bug 1056757 - I wasn't sure that it completely blocked the connection though. Package x2goclient-4.0.1.3-3.fc20: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 20 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing x2goclient-4.0.1.3-3.fc20' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2014-1786/x2goclient-4.0.1.3-3.fc20 then log in and leave karma (feedback).

I get the message as well, but things continue to work here.

WFM now too. i get Connection failed Can not create remote file ~cornel/.x2go/ssh/key.MT7522 - scp status code 1d not valid but i can actually connect to the remote macine. Only the local client was updated as instructed on comment #6. Thank you. x2goclient-4.0.1.3-3.fc19 has been pushed to the Fedora 19 stable repository.
