  • Known issue:

When using "module load" to load modules in ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile, x2go mistake the output from "module load" as error messages and will show error when starting a new connection.

Solution:

For example with fsl module:

module load fsl > /dev/null 2>&1

This will redirect the output from "module load" to /dev/null
