-====== Using X2go desktopsharing ======
-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):
-apt-get install x2godeskstopsharing
-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:
-/usr/bin/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.
-====== The client side ======
-On the client I have only experience with "x2go client". If you don't have it you can install it with:
-apt-get install x2goclient
-Start it and make a new session with "session | new session...".
-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.
-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.
-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.
-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!
