I'm attempting to get x2go running on a 14.04.5 LTS server.

When attempting to get connected, I get the message:
**Connection failed.** bash: x2golistsessions: command not found on the client.

After doing some research, I found the suggestion to run on the server:
apt-get install x2goserver x2goserver-xsession xfce4

I get the result:
E: Unable to locate package x2goserver
E: Unable to locate package x2goserver-xsession

So far I haven't been able to get further. Any ideas?

I was confused by the fact that some, but not all, of x2go is in the Ubuntu repos. To get everything necessary, you need to add a PPA: 

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:x2go/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install x2goserver x2goserver-xsession
sudo apt-get install x2gomatebindings # if you use MATE/mubuntu
sudo apt-get install x2golxdebindings # if you use LXDE/lubuntu

For the client side:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:x2go/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install x2goclient

Hope this helps!

I was having the same issue when trying to make the x2go client work in Windows 10 against a WSL2 Ubuntu.

Connection failed. bash: x2golistsessions: command not found on the client

After installing and enabling the x2goserver and the sshd server in WSL2 Ubuntu, what worked for me was to create a new user:

useradd -m -G adm,dialout,cdrom,floppy,sudo,audio,dip,video,plugdev,input,netdev,x2gouser,x2goprint -s /bin/bash newuser

After this, I setup the x2go client to use the new user credentials and the issue dissapeared. I hope this helps someone.
