I've tried most of the remote desktop solutions out there. NoMachine's NX, NX/FreeNX, Citrix ICA, etc.<br><br>They <u>all</u> suffer from less than perfect video over the net. Its a combination of bandwidth and cpu horsepower either of which can induce delay/jitter.<br>
Audio won't be as noticable as video because if you miss some bits of audio your ears/mind usually still can understand but miss some bits of video and<br>its always noticable.<br><br>There are quite a few solutions that are starting to appear though that will help.<br>
<br>Red Hat has released to opensource the <a href="http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Red-Hat-open-sources-Qumranet-SPICE-protocol-882801.html">SPICE</a> software they got from QumranNet two years ago.<br>There is also work being done with Neatx although its got key features that don't work yet (audio/printing for a couple).<br>
and there are a variety of other solutions starting to hit the market.<br><br>Then there is the movement to HTML 5 with embedded video support which is going to change a lot of things for the better.<br><br>If the video you need to view is web based then don't have the user launch a browser on the remote desktop machine but launch it locally.<br>

You need LDAP.<br>
<br>
But the newest, not-yet-released-version of X2go has a simular feature<br>
to see a session of another user. Then you don't need LDAP.<br>
<br>
It's called "Desktop sharing".<br>
<br>

Hi all,<br>
I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 for a client on a XEN server and the login<br>
and using of the gnome desktop was really great! It was very fast login and<br>
using the programs was quick and no long waits. The login took about 6 sec from<br>
an internet connection. Though video playback is terrible still :) but the sound<br>
was smooth mostly having a few stops here and there otherwise its really good.<br>
Printing was great but had to stick to pdf printing which the client could live<br>
with pressing a few more buttons. The other great thing was that if the<br>
connection was cut off for whatever reason it now can connect back to that<br>
session, before it was like a roll of the dice. Also another great factor was<br>
using 10.04 is login and log out are really fast. The modem setting is a great<br>
saver for bad wifi connections.<br>
Anyway my main question would be will video playback be looked into? Since<br>
with ubuntu 10.04 out and most of the things I have tried seems to have enhanced<br>
the speed of ssh and stability. Though most people don't need it now it is a<br>
great feature to have since video calls are getting popular it would really<br>
enhance x2go usage further.<br>
<br>
