+ | ==== 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) | ||
