[OpenIndiana-discuss] NoMachine or X2Go on Openindiana?
Greetings all, I have been researching a lot of information lately towards trying to locate if a NoMachine NX or X2Go client can run on Openindiana, but have have not had any luck in located either any documentation or packages that might be installed. Does anyone have any experience in this area that might be able to advise me? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a great day, Lonnie ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] NoMachine or X2Go on Openindiana?
It was a fair number of years ago, and I only did it as a project to see if it would work, but I got "NoMachine" working on Solaris 10 and on an early OpenIndiana, using the freeNX code, that I can't seem to find online any more. I even managed to compile the NX client for it using another project and the shared NX library. It took quite a lot of work to get it going, but it did work okay once it was compiled.

Hi Jon, Thanks for getting back to on this question. I'll try to dig in a bit more to see how best to proceed forward since I need an NX-based client to be able to run on the Illumos based OS like Openindiana and the best ones that I have come across seem to be actually NoMachine NX or possibly X2GO which both seem to be the most advanced and have much less latency than VNC and even RDP (via XRDP perhaps) from what I have found so far.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] NoMachine or X2Go on Openindiana?
from all of my prior research, RDP is the best protocol, but most implementations on Linux/Unix suck big time. If you're looking for a pay for product, you might be better off looking at a full blown Windows Server, or a Cisco product. I just wish that Sun had released the code for the SunRay software, as they had apps that would allow you to connect into your session over several devices. We still use SunRays extensively in our laboratories, but we bought up a large quantity of kit when Oracle abandoned the project. the FreeNX is a NoMachine version 3 equivalent. but IIRC the latest NoMachine client talks to the version 3 server happily.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] NoMachine or X2Go on Openindiana?
Yea, I think that I remember working a little bit with the SunRay stuff some years ago and did not know that folks were still using them. I've used RDP on Windows and Linux (via xRDP) for a long time. You are right in that the Linux/Unix implementations leave a lot to be desired, but for this project I am leaning towards NoMachine NX or X2GO, at least initially and will see where this takes us as I need a generic support for multiple OS's that also supports application seamless windows as well as audio, file xfer, filesystem sharing, and a few other things for which these 2 seem to be the most advanced in this way and still cover most of the requirements. The current catch is that I may have to do a significant amount of work to get one of them to run on Openindiana (Illumos-based) to talk to the VM's BTW, I really like the "Sheldon Cooper" pic. It's a great show that I can relate in that my day job is as a Physicist.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] wifi card compatibility
Hello, I have a notebook that included an apparently unsupported SIERRA wireless card. So I bought on ebay an Intel 4965 AGN card, which is in the list of the compatible devices. However, both windows and openiniana seem to identify it as an ATHEROS AR9287. Is it possible to have an intel card with an atheros chipset ? Or does it mean that the label oh the board is fake. Any way, is this card usable with open indiana ? If yes with wich driver ? and what should I do to install this driver. Thanks Marc ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Can't speak for others, but the SunRay is/was always a great product. I'm still using SunRay's in my home.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] wifi card compatibility
Hi Marc Atheros AR9k series cards are unfortunately not supported yet in OpenIndiana/Illumos Atheros up until and including 8k is supported by default and by freenicdrivers. Atheros drivers are available in Freebsd and Linux but the driver has not been ported/updated yet.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Sysem repository is now working on OpenIndiana
Hello, guys. Now you can use Solaris-style system repository service, so that pkg in ipkg-branded zone speaks to outside word via global zone. Documentation was updated: http://docs.openindiana.org/handbook/systems-administration/#zones (look at "System repository configuration"). This setting can become default in the next OpenIndiana snapshot. You'll have to update pkg:/package/pkg and related packages to 0.5.11,5.11-2017.0.0.5229 versions for such configurations to work correctly. Please, test and report any issues. -- System Administrator of Southern Federal University Computer Center ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
