Hello NG,
I have some problems to redirect the sound with arts under Debian Lenny. So what I did was to install die x2goserver-one and the thinclient (PXE,NFS,etc...) and it works so far. That means I can connect to the server and change the windowmanager and the resolution and so on. But there is no sound on the client! When I play a song it will be played on the server not on the client. Which are the correct settings for arts on KDE: Enable networked sound? Select the audio device: Autodetect? Is there a special file to edit?
best Markus

Have you enabled PulseAudio and SSH tunnel forwarding in the X2go client settings ?
Thanks, Phil

I have enabled both.

working under Lenny ? Pulseaudio I installed pulseaudio with "apt-get install pulseaudio" in the chroot. But the sound will still be played on the server not on the client. Is there a howto for that? In my client KDE, the sound server is completely disabled. It uses pulse only. On the server, artSd is configured for networking and uses ESD.
On the server side, we needed to upgrade paplay from Squeeze as the Lenny version did not support playing the ogg files sometimes used for KDE sounds. In the knotifyrc configuration file (~/.kde/share/config/ unless you are using KIOSK mode), we set External player=paplay. Of course, this is just for KDE. Anything which natively uses pulse should work although you may need to configure the application to use pulse. We had some issues with Firefox (Iceweasel) but I believe these were cleaned up with upgrades although we might have needed to install from either backports or squeeze; if it is a problem, let the list know and I'll see if I can dig out what we did.
Most importantly, is pulse actually running on both sides, e.g., ps -e | grep pulse? Good luck - John
<snip>>> In my client KDE, the sound server is completely disabled. It uses pulse only. On the server, artSd is configured for networking and uses ESD. Ok, so if you don't have to configure the windowmanager will it work in gnome as well? You don't have installed pulse on

Good luck - John On the server I had to create /etc/asound.conf after the installation of the packages and to add the users in the pulse groups. Furthermore I had to start it with "pulseaudio -D". But I have to find out if there is a way to start it automatically at startup. But the bigger problem is how to start pulse in the client?

Regards, We do not have an exact how-to on our setup. Here are snippets of our internal documentation in case they may be of help:
We installed pulseaudio from lenny-backports
We must configure the mplayer plugin to use pulseaudio. To do this, create an /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf file with the following contents: ao=pulse download=1 cachesize=1024 cache-percent=25 keep-download=0 dload-dir=$HOME noembed=0 autoplay=1 enable-wmp=1 enable-qt=1 enable-rm=0 enable-gmp=1 enable-dvx=1 enable-mpeg=1 enable-mp3=1 enable-midi=0 enable-pls=1 enable-ogg=1 enable-smil=1 enable-helix=1 nomediacache=0 nopauseonhide=1 rtsp-use-tcp=0 rtsp-use-http=0
# Add the user to the fuse and pulse groups sed -i -e "s/^fuse:.*$/&,${1}/" -e "s/^pulse:.*$/&,${1}/" -e "s/^pulse-rt:.*$/&,${1}/" -e "s/^pulse-access:.*$/&,${1}/" -e "s/:,/:/" ${VPATH}${1}/etc/group
knotifyrc: [Misc] External player=paplay Use external player=true Volume=100
[StartProgress] Arts Init=false KNotify Init=true Use Arts=false
We have some packages we must install from testing (Squeeze). Evolution does not support WebDAV contacts until the testing version (2.28) and paplay cannot play the KDE ogg file sounds until it has the libsndfile1 from testing.
/etc/iceweasel/iceweaselrc: # which /dev/dsp wrapper to use ICEWEASEL_DSP="esddsp" #ICEWEASEL_DSP="padsp"
I know it's not exact but it is working for us. Hope it helps - John
