X2go

x2go is another solution for graphical remote desktop access. It is tunneled over SSH.

Install

Server

NOTE:

your sshd config must allow X11 forwarding

sudo pacman -S \
    x2goserver \
    perl-try-tiny
             

sudo x2godbadmin --createdb
sudo systemctl enable x2goserver.service
sudo systemctl start  x2goserver.service

Client

sudo pacman -S x2goclient

Usage

x2goclient is a GUI application. Simply start it, and configure the session you'd like to use.

NOTE:

You can configure x2go to create a new xsession or connect to a local xsession. (sweet, right?)
