Desktopsharing
run applet: Application menu --> internet --> X2GO Destkop sharing.
New applet icon will appear on taskbar. Click on it and activate desktop sharing.


    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.
    Use 4k-png compression.
    Press 'OK' to save the session.
