I would be nice for newbies to be able to integrate a reverse VNC to the distribution to get help... like gitso
So that newbie can be remote assisted, from experienced users...

It would be nice, if Canonical could provide a gateway for that, so that both sides, could connect through their firewall... The person bo be assisted, could only give the email from the contact person, and that person could connect by clicking on a vnc link, that open vinagre ... or a java vnc client on canonical server, that connect directly to the target system.

I already installed a lot of ubuntu system by friends, and there is often need for remote help at the beginning... A easy remote help mechanism, could help to boost new users, and to leverage their ubuntu satisfaction.

The framework for this functionality already exists in the application. There isn\'t as much need to develop a solution as there is just to include the solution - it almost seems artificially limited.

Having used many remote solutions in the past (based on VNC and on NX), I'm extremely impressed by x2go. Even though it's not properly packaged for Ubuntu (only a Debian repository exists), it worked flawlessly for me in Ubuntu 11.04. Very fast, easy to use, immediately recognized my SSH keys, and even PulseAudio worked immediately with no special modifications.

Best of all, x2go is GPL, making it easy to tweak and embed deeply into the Ubuntu desktop experience. Win win!

One caveat could be that if Ubuntu in the future moves to Wayland instead of X, solutions such as this that are based on X may need to be ported, too. But, assuming Wayland does provide support for X-like environments, it may not be hard to do.
