Re: [X2go-dev] Speed of X2go slower than of NXclient

2010-01-17 Thread cougarmaster
Hi Heinz,
   Sorry for replying so late cause was trying to find my way back to this
mailing thing. Not so good at it :| . Anyway the SSH connection to the server
whether its local or internet its ok, meaning that it happenins very quickly.
Its what happens afterwards. If you want I can setup an account for you to login
and try it out yourself if you want and can use it to test out. Sound for local
lan is really good. Not for internet. Printing is ok but sometimes have to print
two times to get it to print. So if you want to try out please let me know. I
can set a complete desktop for you or just an account, upto you, but will be
virtualized.

Tks
Eric

I have a gotten a lot of feedback, that normally a session can be faster 
started and resumed - but x2go has an completly different handshake. A used 
compinent can be responsible for the delay. What you really should check, is 
that the name resolution is working. You should be able to connect to the 
server over SSH without delay.

RDP an NX are working completly diffferent. NX needs to fill up the bitmap 
cache whenever you are using a screenobject for the first time. This will 
increase the CPU usage on the server, because the bitmaps are cached and it 
will increase the bandwith consumption, because those pictures need to be 
delivered to the client. But the whole user feedback of input devices and the 
x-server ressources are working local. So it is very typical for NX to have a 
changing bandwith usage. 

Please keep in mind, that x2go is not developed to be an NX replacement. There 
are various Open Source clients and even servers which are completly compatible 
to NX. The idea of x2go was to develop a complete open Terminal Server by using 
as much as possible already existing native linux projects.

For a typical connection time to a x2go server using WLAN you can watch our 
youtube video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxEsngE6qjc

If you can give us more information, we'll really try to help you. It would be 
interesting to have an look on the ssh connection (how long does it take to 
establish the connection) and what services you are using (printing, file 
sharing, sound - > which sound system).

best regards,

Heinz

Hi all,
   Sorry forgot to mention the version of the x2go client is 3.01-4 for windows
and 3.01-8 for linux. Its just I want to convert my clients to use linux as
opposed to windows because of licensing issues and they are basically using
basic stuff and no propriety applications.

Tks again.

Hi Paul,
   The problem is that I find x2go whether it is local or internel takes a bit
more time for it to authenticate than nxclient which is more instantaneous. Also
another thing I see is that the bandwitdh consumption is quite high on x2go. The
windows doesnt matter whether it is windows 2000 or windows xp same results.
Also I am running the Ubuntu desktop on a debian XEN 3.2 server. I assigned 1GB
ram to the Ubuntu 9.10 domU. The pfsense firewall is also a domU on the same
server. Also a trixbox VoIP system domU with a pci 4 port telephony card. The
server hardware is :-

   Phenon II X4 925
   8GB RAM DDR II 800 Mhz
   500GB x 2
   4 GbE nics

   There is also a windows 2003 running there where rdp is running extremely
smooth with about 3 people accessing it at any one time. The bandwitdh on it is
always whether login in or using is below 200k. X2go or nxclient always spikes
up above 500-800K when just login in. When using it jumps up and down between
200k - 2Mbps. I get this also not only in windows also when the client is 
Ubuntu.

Interesting.  Our initial testing is showing X2Go much faster than
NoMachine on Linux.  Older versions of X2Go on Windows proved to be
unusably slow for us.  I think this had more to do with Xming than X2Go.
That is why we moved away from X2Go until the release of 3.0.1-4.  That
appears to be performing satisfactorily although we are just starting
our Windows testing.  I assume the basic problem is the performance of
the X server on Windows.

Does anyone have experience on accelerating the X Server under Windows
or faster alternatives to XMing? Thanks - John

I have no clue why it would behave this way, but could you please give
more details like what versions of both programs did you use, what MS
Windows versions, maybe some timings (for example for login or
responsiveness) so that others can compare that with their setup?


Thanks,

Hi,
  This seems better. Ok to ask a proper question is that for login and working
in the remote desktop, nxclient seems to be much quicker and responsive than
x2go client in windows. Is there a reason or still need to wait for newer
versions?
