Hi all! I’m looking for a remote desktop control system that works in Ubuntu. Something like VNC, but that allows for more than one user to remotely see and control the screen of this Ubuntu Desktop at the same time. I’ve been looking around for a while now, but all the solutions I’ve found only allow for one user at a given time. If a second user logs in, the first one is kicked out. I’m not sure if this is even possible, but I’d really appreciate any help pointing me in the right direction. Thanks!
BeyondTrust and SimpleHelp both support this functionality. You can invite a second technician to join the session. I suspect all they’re really doing is opening up a second session at the same time, but the end result is that you can have two people remotely controlling a single computer.
But those are both “tech support” focused tools, so I don’t know if they quite fit your use case. Parsec is another option that specifically advertises collaborative work like pair programming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA21BnUsBJI
Parsec is windows only with a non-hardware accelerated Linux client, moonlight+sunshine will work though
