| + | === Session is Stuck === | ||
| + | Sometimes when you don't exit xwindow session without proper log out, the session enters a limbo state and wont start up. You can login using Kde and then there will be options to terminate the older session and start fresh. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Suspended State === | ||
| + | When you log off X2Go, use System-Log Off from the top menu bar. Otherwise your session will be in a suspended state on the server and when you connect the next time it may create issues. In case that happens, "terminate" the prior session by clicking on the corresponding symbol in the GUI. After this you will be able to create a new session. | ||
