Description diaphane d. 2023-01-18 15:07:32 CET 
Description of problem:

Since the fix of #27880, x2go server works pretty well out of the box, but the script x2goversion is broken.
This has an impact on clients checking for the presence of x2goserver on the server side (pyhoca-cli, pyhoca-gui...).

According to this comment https://www.mail-archive.com/x2go-dev@lists.x2go.org/msg05624.html , the patch https://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=commitdiff;h=c80103788eebe0445efc2cefb56b074231b76f39 should be used.

x2goserver-4.1.0.3-1.2.mga8 from core/udpates_testing is OK for me.

Thank you.
Comment 3 Herman Viaene 2023-01-20 15:17:57 CET 
I looked at the older  updates to find a way to test this without spending time to study, but I couldn't get my head around it. Little explanation.
I'll look a little further, but I won't spend much time on it.
