Hi guys,
I've been playing with X2go for a while now, and have a Thin Client Environment(TCE) that I PXE boot from, or copy to USB and boot via syslinux (after I've changed the initramfs.conf and regenerated the initrd so it boots locally rather than via nfs).
But Although X2go works well, its still not fast enough for watching videos. My solution was to put mplayer on the TCE and pipe video to it at the moment with netcat, but Ill probably move to a multicast solution when I get all of the other issues sorted.
So on the client I need to run the command
netcat $SERVER $PORT | mplayer -display 0:0 -
now whilst I can open up a console terminal, log into the x2goclient user and run the command, or write something that does the same it would be nice to run a command from within the x2go-session that does just that. Ive tried using x2goruncommand but it seems to kill of my currently running session.
Is there a supported way to run a command locally, from withing an established x2go session, or do I have to code something up myself
Thanks
Paul Daniels
