KDE/NX in the Summer of Code
Posted by George Wright Fri, 29 Feb 2008 00:57:00 GMT
As Google have announced the Summer of Code for 2008, I would rather like to see NX support finally appearing in krdc, KDE’s pet remote desktop connection client.
Back in 2006 I did a fair bit of work on an abstract client library for NX, and in 2007, Urs Wolfer did a fantastic job of cleaning up krdc and making it far easier to add a different backend to it. What I’d like to see is someone come forward this year and tie these two efforts together to make an unbelievably awesome NX client for KDE.
I’ve put up a preliminary proposal at the KDE SoC wiki, and I’m quite happy to mentor the project so long as the KDE demigods agree (Thiago?)
I agree. NX support would be very useful in Krdc.

Me too. NX support in krdc would be a very good thing.
I’ld also like to see NX support in KDM. In some cases (for example I currently use my room mates old laptop as “thin client” to connect to my desktop, since I have to stay in bed due to illness) starting a full blown KDE Desktop on the client isn’t necessary. So I think the service should be well integrated into KDE, but the client itself shouldn’t have to much KDE dependencies.
I agree, having NX support in Krdc would be awesome. This along with the new tabbed interface would really make it the swiss army knife of remote desktop clients.
You’re more than welcome to be a mentor. Information is on the wiki.
Even better would be merging the compression proxy of NX to trunk X11. That would give all X protocol users the gains. It would also make building those NX clients (with the rest; audio and devices support etc) saner.
That can’t be done because of licensing restrictions.

That’s a really innovative and coo looking window they designed to show off! It’s amazing at what you can come up with when you partner with another powerhouse company. I bet it helped keep the sales up even though the economy isn’t back in full-swing yet. beverly hills lipo
Saying thanks will not just be sufficient, for the wonderful clarity in your writing. I will immediately grab your rss feed to stay privy of any updates. Pleasant work and much success in your business dealings!
In general, the economic downturn has affected the fashion and and Cheap Alloy Jewellery and jewelry stores by trimming back some of the frills and over-the-top gaudiness and colors of the past and this fall and winter’s trends seem to be moving back into a more subdued mode than you generally see during the the silver plated bangles the spring and summer months. Here are some of the fashion and jewelry trends you can expect to see in 2010/2011 season.Granted, it isn’t always easy to make bead jewelry with a story involved, though I have seen more and and Cheap Silver Plated Bangles and more fashion jewelry makers including a little “story” card with their jewelry.
lol,as a fans,your website where has many useful information for some reader.

Very nice post. Thanks for it! Keep up good work!
I think the ideas that went into this is so good. I see a lot of great work coming from it. Keep up the good work.actos bladder cancer
The best thing about both these clients is that they do not need installation to the computer; I tested them by putting them on USB flash disks and taking them to friends’ computers and seeing if they’d connect without any trouble - and they did.
The package is fairly nifty - the user interface is a statically linked Qt binary and has barely any dependencies. In the qtnx.app directory is all the NX stuff you need - nxauth, nxssh, nxproxy etc, as well as the default key to login with and many other things. The client does not need to be installed and should just run from inside the dmg image!
The past few months has been great; I’ve been playing FAR too much Wii (especially the New Super Mario Bros game, that’s addictive); doing lots of work at RIM; moving office so I’m no longer a 10 minute walk from work (but rather a 10 minute subway journey, bah) amongst countless other things including my health finally getting back on track after 5 months of coughing/being ill/etc. Hurrah!
Unfortunately, it seems that the project has been stagnant for a while and had bitrotted to the extent that it no longer compiled. I have now committed a fairly trivial fix that lets it compile and load, but it’s still in a fairly …
