| - | ===== 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. | ||
| - | |||
| - | 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. | ||
