Issues Installing x2go

I was having issues today after installing x2go.  Here is was I did to fix them.

My first issue happened trying to install the x2gognomebindings. This is the error I was getting:

Setting up x2gognomebindings (2.0.1.3-0~47~oneiric1) ...
Settings menu not found in /etc/xdg/menus at /usr/sbin/update-gnome-menu-x2go li
ne 43.
dpkg: error processing x2gognomebindings (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 x2gognomebindings
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This would happen every time I tried anything with apt. What I did to fix it was simple.

sudo cp /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-settings-x2go.menu /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-settings.menu

sudo apt-get install x2gognomebindings

My second issue happened when I tried to connect to x2go for the first time. I was getting this error:

Repeated here for the bots:

Authentification Failed

The host key for this server was not found but an othertype of key exists.An Attacker might change the default server key toconfuse your client into thinking the key does not exist

This will happen if you SSH into the server before installing x2go. SSH by default likes ecdsa keys, and x2go doesn't. On the server, edit the ssh config:

sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Then comment out this line with a #:

HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key

Now restart ssh:

sudo service ssh restart

On your client you need to remove your old key. I just removed all of them.

rm .ssh/known_hosts

Hopefully someone will find this useful. :-)
