Comments on Ubuntu Remote Desktop with X2Go

This tutorial explains the installation and usage of X2Go on Ubuntu. X2Go is a remote desktop application to access X-Desktop enviroments over a network connection, it is well suited for low bandwidth connections, has support for sound with PulseAudio and allows desktop sharing. The application has two parts, the x2goclient for the client side and x2goserver (which has to be installed on the desktop system that shall be accessed). The X2Go client software is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

kex error: no match for method server host key algo: server [ssh-rsa,ssh-dss,ecdas-sha2-nistp256], client [ssh-ed25519]

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It seems some information is missing.  Do I have to start the server before I can connect a client to it?  Does the client start the server somehow?  I have installed the server on my cloud VM and the client on my Windows 7 workstation.  When I start the client and give credentials, the connection just hangs.  There is no error message.  How do I tell if the x2goserver is running?  Where is the log?  How do I tell what's missing?

Please delete the useless "How it works?" section.  It's a placeholder that prevents anyone from adding a coherent description of either how it works or how it is used.
