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!
It itself is not FOSS, but Network Chuck just had a decent video on setting up ThinLinc for his editing team. I believe it is free for ten or fewer users. There is an admin function that allows you to observe what another user is doing (session shadowing).

In general, for native FOSS, I’m pretty sure you can specify the screen port in VNC, and connect multiple users to the same port, but you’d have to double check the configuration file. Can likely also be done with XRDP.
