[X2go-User] x2gothinclient: compression and sound

[Michael Hierweck]

Hi all,

I'm trying to (re)migrate our thin clients (Intel Atom 1.6 GHz) from
plain X11/XDMCP to x2go again using the latestet Debian Packages (Squeeze).

First of all I wonder about the recommended compression mode and level.
With link type LAN and compression nopack I experience heavy CPU usage
on the (thin) client side (20% Xorg and 30% x2goclient) while reading
mails and even more latency than I experienced with plain X11 before.

Furthermore sound forwarding does not work even though it is active in
the session setup.


pulseaudio configuration and cookie has been set:

$ export |grep PULSE
declare -x
PULSE_CLIENTCONFIG="/home/michael/.x2go/C-michael-53-1320436144_stDGNOME_dp16/.pulse-client.conf"
$ cat $PULSE_CLIENTCONFIG
default-server=localhost:30002
cookie-file=.x2go/C-michael-53-1320436144_stDGNOME_dp16/.pulse-cookie


x2go seems to bind to some ports, 30002, too:

# netstat -tupen |grep 1004
tcp        0      8 127.0.0.1:38073         127.0.0.1:30001

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:38338         127.0.0.1:30002

ESTABLISHED 1004       3080994     18815/x2goagent
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:30002         127.0.0.1:38338
ESTABLISHED 1004       3083063     18887/sshd: michael


But this is what paplay tells when invoked from a terminal inside the
x2go session:

$ paplay -v /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Startup_new.wav
Opening a playback stream with sample specification 's16le 2ch 22050Hz'
and channel map 'front-left,front-right'.
Connection established.
Stream error: No such entity


Thanks in advance

Michael
