- | ====== X2Go Desktop Sharing -- Download, Installation & Usage ====== | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Download ===== | ||
- | |||
- | ==== GNU/Linux ==== | ||
- | |||
- | === GNU/Linux package based distribution === | ||
- | |||
- | 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: | ||
- | |||
- | * [[wiki: | ||

- | === GNU/Linux with installation from source tarball === | ||
- | |||
- | The sources of this X2Go component are available as source tarball under this URL: | ||
- | |||
- | http:// | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Installation ===== | ||
- | |||
- | ==== GNU/Linux ==== | ||
- | |||
- | === Debian / Ubuntu === | ||
- | |||
- | The '' | ||
- | |||
- | < | ||
- | $ aptitude install x2godesktopsharing | ||
- | </ | ||
- | |||
- | You can now start x2godesktopsharing with X2Go sessions (that is: on the server) by typing '' | ||
- | |||
- | === Source Tarball (LinuxFromScratch) === | ||
- | |||
- | FIXME | ||
- | |||
- | ====== 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. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== The Client Side ===== | ||
- | |||
- | On the client I have only experience with "x2go client" | ||
- | |||
- | < | ||
- | aptitude install x2goclient | ||
- | </ | ||
- | |||
- | Start it and make a new session with " | ||
- | |||
- | Give it a session name, a host name, and the username from the user you want to access. In " | ||
- | |||
- | 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! | ||
