HiDoes anyone have experience of using Empathy to share desktops between computers?
I have 2 Ubuntu 13.10 systems both running Empathy connected to jabber.org.uk accounts. Using Empathy, you're supposed to be able to right-click a contact and select "Share Desktop". It uses Vino & Vinagre.
I have success one way only - ie. I can share one computers desktop but on the other computer the option is greyed out. Manually connecting via Vinagre works fine so I know the "back-end" stuff is in place and working.
The reason I want to do it via Empathy is for remote support - one computer is destined to be remote and by using a jabber account, you can get around the router firewall & port forwarding issues in the same way Teamviewer does...
Anyone got any suggestions for tweaking Empathy? There doesn't seem to be a lot of options :(
