-====== Using X2go desktopsharing ======
+====== X2Go Desktop Sharing -- Download, Installation & Usage ======
-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.
+===== Download =====
-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.
+==== GNU/Linux ====
-====== The server side ======
+=== GNU/Linux package based distribution ===
-First you need to install the package x2godesktopsharing on the server (the machine you want to access, this can be a very normal PC):
+Please make sure that you have added the X2Go repository appropriate for your system to your package management system. The required steps are described here:
-apt-get install x2godeskstopsharing
+  * [[wiki:x2go-repository-debian|Debian GNU/Linux]]
+  * [[wiki:x2go-repository-ubuntu|Ubuntu GNU/Linux]]
-Then there is a new application in the menu. I can find it with "Applications | Internet | X2go desktop sharing". You can start the program with this command too:
+=== GNU/Linux with installation from source tarball ===
-/usr/bin/x2godesktopsharing
+The sources of this X2Go component are available as source tarball under this URL:
-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.
+http://code.x2go.org/releases/source/x2godesktopsharing
-====== The client side ======
+===== Installation =====
-On the client I have only experience with "x2go client". If you don't have it you can install it with:
+==== GNU/Linux ====
-apt-get install x2goclient
+=== Debian / Ubuntu ===
-Start it and make a new session with "session | new session...".
+The ''x2godesktopsharing'' package will install x2godesktopsharing on your GNU/Linux system and will make sure, that every needed package will be installed as a dependency. ''x2godesktopsharing'' is an X2Go server-side package.
-Give it a session name, a host name, and the username from the user you want to access. In "session type" you choose for "connection to local desktop".  Then I will advise you to go to the settings-tab and choose there for "full screen". If you don't realize that everything can become to small to read. Then press "OK" to save the session.
+<code>
+$ aptitude install x2godesktopsharing
+</code>
-Then start the session by clicking on it. Give the password of the user, and start the session. After this you will see a new window where you can choose which running session you want, in most cases there is only one. Choose the session.
+You can now start x2godesktopsharing within X2Go sessions (that is: on the server) by typing ''x2godesktopsharing'' on the command line or you find it inside the "Internet" section of your menu inside your graphical desktop environment. (In case of LXDE on Debian have a look in 'Networking' instead.)
-After this you will login on the desktop from the other. When you have a monitor what's smaller then the other side, it will be maybe a bit difficult to read.
+=== Source Tarball (LinuxFromScratch) ===
-Realize that when you want to stop the session and the other is running a normal PC, you will stop the complete PC when you do a shutdown!
