  ===== 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):
- 
- <code>
- aptitude install x2godeskstopsharing
- </code>
- 
- 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:
- 
- <code>
- $ x2godesktopsharing
- </code>
- 
- 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.
- 
- ==== Client Side ====
- To connect to another user's desktop, use [[wiki:components:x2goclient|x2goclient]]. For installation instructions refer to the [[download:start|download page]].
- 
-   * Start the client.
- 
- Preparing the session:
-   * Create a new session with "session | new
session...". 
-   * Assign a session name.
-   * As 'host name' give the name of the machine, the session you want to connect to, is running on.
-   * As 'user name' give your account on the remote machine.
-   * As 'session type' choose 'connection to local desktop'.
-   * Recommended: choose "full screen" on the settings tab. Otherwise, everything can become too small to read.
-   * Press 'OK' to save the session.
- 
- Making the connection:
-   * Activate the newly created session.
-   * Enter the password of your remote account, and start the session.
-   * You'll be presented with a list of running sessions. Choose, which you want to connect to. (In most cases there will be only one session listed.)
- 
- After this you will login on the desktop of the other user. When your monitor is smaller than the other ones, it might be a bit difficult to read.
- 
- Be aware, that by selecting 'shutdown' within the shared desktop, the remote system will be turned off!
- 
- ==== 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)
- 
- FIXME This section needs to be
rewritten. For now it's just a copy & paste from an IRC discussion
+ moved...
