| - | ====== Using the X2Go Desktop Sharing Feature | ||
| - | |||
| - | With the desktopsharing function of X2go you can have full-access the desktop from somebody else like with programs as Remote Desktop. TeamViewer or LogMeIn. You can see an X2go session from somebody else, but you can also see a normal desktop. | ||
| - | |||
| - | To do this you need access to port 22. So maybe you need to make a portforwarding on your router. Portforwarding is not discussed here on this page. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== The Server Side ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | First you need to install the package x2godesktopsharing on the server (the machine you want to access, this can be a very normal PC): | ||
| - | |||
| - | < | ||
| - | aptitude install x2godeskstopsharing | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | Then there is a new application in the menu. I can find it with " | ||
| - | |||
| - | < | ||
| - | $ x2godesktopsharing | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | |||
| - | After starting the application and some searching, you will find a new icon on your panel. On the top the icon it's blue, and under it is white with a red cross in it. When you right-click on the butten you can activate the desktop sharing there. After activating other people who can login, can access your desktop. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Client Side ===== | ||
| - | To connect to another user's desktop, use [[wiki: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Start the client. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Preparing the session: | ||
| - | * Create a new session with " | ||
| - | * Assign a session name. | ||
| - | * As 'host name' give the name of the machine, the session you want to connect to, is running on. | ||
| - | * As 'user name' give your account on the remote machine. | ||
| - | * As ' | ||
| - | * Recommended: | ||
| - | * Press ' | ||
| - | |||
| - | Making the connection: | ||
| - | * Activate the newly created session. | ||
| - | * Enter the password of your remote account, and start the session. | ||
| - | * You'll be presented with a list of running sessions. Choose, which you want to connect to. (In most cases there will be only one session listed.) | ||
| - | |||
| - | After this you will login on the desktop of the other user. When your monitor is smaller than the other ones, it might be a bit difficult to read. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Be aware, that by selecting ' | ||

| - | ===== Misc notes (needs to be rewritten) ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * if you use x2godesktopsharing on :0 then you can connect to it through x2goclient with the session profile... | ||
| - | * session type ,,Connect to local desktop'' | ||
| - | * however, there is a not-a-real-bug in x2godesktopsharing. User foo on :0 can connect to the desktop through x2goclient as user foo without x2godesktopsharing doing much, asair. | ||
| - | * user bar can access user foo on :0 if user foo grants access for user bar through x2godesktopsharing. | ||
| - | * however, in x2goclient there is a hard-coded restriction that only allows view-only access to user bar... | ||
| - | * in pyhoca-cli, desktop sharing is already implemented (pyhoca-cli is a cmdline X2Go client) | ||
| - | * and with pyhoca-cli you can choose --share-mode 0 or --share-mode 1 (where 0 is view-only and 1 is full access) | ||
| - | * x2godesktopsharing basically does not care if it runs on :0 or :50 (normally the display number for the first X2Go session on the machine) | ||
| - | |||
| - | FIXME This section needs to be rewritten. For now it's just a copy & paste from an IRC discussion | ||
