Hi new here!

I was wondering if x2go can be made to do (some of) what doceri does? https://doceri.com/

My preference is to stick with linux. However at the moment it looks like doceri only runs on windows and macs

Thanks and Regards Rusi

Try iTALC or epoptes on Linux. Maybe that fulfills your needs.

With X2Go something like doceri, iTALC or epoptes could be created, but it is not there out-of-the-box.

As I am the Debian maintainer of iTALC, I normally take care that it works inside X2Go sessions (and it does).

Thanks Mike Had a look at both epoptes and iTALC. My impression is that both are for controlling students' machines.

This is not my usecase (at least as of now). My usecase is I guess like this

Use a tablet rather than a black/white board and capture the whole lecture – audio and video. Note that I am using 'tablet' vaguely. It may be a touchscreen laptop, an IPad, IPhone, Android phone or tablet. I believe that one of doceri's selling points is that the teacher hooks up the laptop (ideally a mac?) to the projector at the front of the class, then walks around the class with IPad in hand and writing on and generally controlling the mac remotely from the Ipad.

[Note Ive never used doceri or ipads or x2go -- so I may be a bit incoherent]

Ah sure! This should be possible with X2Go shadow sessions. You merely need a touch thingy that runs X2Go Client.

-> This would mean, you need to find a touch machine that either runs Windows, Mac OSX or Linux.

I've not heard the term "shadow sessions" before, is there some description of what this is?
