SOLVED: Another remote desktop question

securitybreach · 2009-05-11 02:36:46

I am waiting on my Nokia N810 internet tablet to arrive and I had a few questions about using it to access my Arch workstation. Ok to begin with I have searched the forum and nothing matches my needs or atleast I could not find it. Anyway, I presently run Openbox with twinview on my desktop. I can connect via ssh -Y to my main machine from one of my laptops just fine but of course no audio over ssh. I would like to be able to watch a video or listen to some music from my Arch desktop on my N810. I also tried FreeNX via the wiki and it seems to have a problem with Openbox and twinview. I could see my conky which is dislpayed at the top of screen 0 but nothing else on the screen. I really do not need a gui at all just that FreeNX does audio or so I heard. Anyway, what would be the best way to stream audio/video over my home network? Or alteast, give me some links to point me in the right direction.

Thanks alot

I am looking into NFS right now. Ok I have NFS up and running by using the wiki but it says nothing of a port that needs opening. I use a router for my home network so what should I open up so the client will see the NFS.

THanks

Run
rpcinfo -p

It think it's 2049 you need to open (by default).

Yeah its running fine:

bash-3.2# rpcinfo -p

Time to open the port in my router......

Thanks

I have never access an NFS share through a firewall so I'm not 100% sure that will work. You may have to open all 3 ports (portmapper and mountd).

securitybreach · 2009-05-11 04:00:58

Ok I opened port 2049 on my router and I get "Connection timed out" when I run a port check. I have ssh and rtorrent forwareded so I know how to do it right. Are you sure it runs on port 2049?

Thanks

Got a better method to do what I need?

sshfs? Slim Server or CPAN's Apache::MP3 can stream music.

Thanks

sshfs worked beautifully with sound and all.

Thanks
