[Bio-linux-dev] x2go problems

[Tony Travis]

Hi, Tim.

I've recently had problems connecting to my Bio-Linux workstation
"wildcat" via an SSH proxy using "x2goclient". The problem is not
confined to "wildcat". Attempting to connect to other Bio-Linux
workstations via the same SSH proxy yield the same error:

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

Direct connections (i.e. not using a proxy) all still work fine and I
can "ssh" through the proxy to "wildcat" without any problems.

I was using the latest PPA version of "x2goclient", but I downgraded it
to the current Ubuntu 'stable' version in case that was the problem:

> ajt at beluga:~$ apt-cache policy x2goclient
> x2goclient:
>   Installed: 4.0.1.1-1ubuntu2
>   Candidate: 4.0.1.1-1ubuntu2
>   Version table:
>  *** 4.0.1.1-1ubuntu2 0
>         500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/universe amd64 Packages
>         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
>      4.0.1.1-1ubuntu1 0
>         500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages

It wasn't...

Any ideas?

Thanks,

  Tony.
