Get an entire PC in internet on my N810?
 

Do you know G.ho.st? It's an entire OS inside your browser. I'd like to have something similar on my N810. But it should better use VNC instead of the browser's heavy Flash plugin. Is there a place in the where I can get my own virtual desktop? The PC should be in a data center instead of my machine at home.

Any ideas?

Hmm you could simply use the vncviewer software? Provided that a vnc server is set up on the otheer comp...

I can feel user desperation when this company suddenly begins to charge users for the service, or goes bankrupt or something else...

Good luck!

That's it! I need a company that provides a VNC server. My own PC in internet. Do you know any?

vnc over the internet? That is usable, just but it's not exactly a nice experience.

VNC over the internet is not nice? That's sad. I thought it was possible now. My DSL connection is 16/1 Mbps. I thought this was enough to have my own virtual PC in a datacenter and access it via VNC from my N810. Too sad. :(

OK if you have access to that kind of bandwidth always, then that's fine, but I have a similar bandwidth at home, but when at home if I need a full PC I use a full PC, but when I'm on the road internet connectivity tends to be flaky at best, esp. when in hotels/airports etc.
It's not the bandwidth that is just the problem, it's the latency....

To the original question: does g.ho.st work on the 810? Can anyone with an 810 give it a try?

Re: Get an entire PC in internet on my N810?
 

I can't load it in tear or MicroB.

(For that matter it didn't load in my Firefox on my PC, but maybe I have some setting fouling it; it did load in Google Chrome, and works quite well, at least word processing and file management, which was all I tried.

It uses Flash 10 so it won't work with the NIT. I had never even heard of this, but the first thing I had to do when I signed up was to see how many os's I could run in my browser.

I got to an os within an os within an os. I tried to open another os but then ie crashed:

Yes I have too much time on my hands.

If your PC is running Linux, I'd recommend using NX, from NoMachine, instead of VNC (if possible). The Maemo NX client is still rather buggy, but hopefully someone will attend to it soon. The main advantages over VNC are lower bandwidth requirements, and built-in SSH tunneling, which is pretty darn important.

And if you're running a Windows or Mac computer, I recommend NTR Connect. (That is, I recommend it to control one computer by another; it's not NIT-compatible.)

VNC over the Internet is fine. You can even use the Java client to run it in a (desktop) browser. I use VNC over the Internet (through an encrypted SSH tunnel) to remote control my home PCs (both Windows and Linux) all the time. The tablet does VNC just fine (and the encrypted SSH tunnel, too! Thanks, tsocks!) but the desktop's screen is usually a lot bigger and so I end up having to scroll around the screen a lot...

Re: Get an entire PC in internet on my N810?
 

Yes, but in fact I was looking for the PC. Isn't there a company that offers virtual PCs in the internet which I can use over VNC (or other software) from my N810? That would be great. I don't want to use my private machine at home but a dedicated PC in a data center. Electricity is expensive. ;)

Re: Get an entire PC in internet on my N810?
 

I'm going to love seeing remote desktop software that actually works flawlessly on this device.

Unfortunately I can't seem to connect to my rack from the N810. Still, my network is a little weird and it's probably better this way.

I had seen a service like Ghost before but I can't remember what it was called. A quick search gave me this list of similar services though.

Re: Get an entire PC in internet on my N810?
 

yes. if you have some skills, use linode.com or prgmr.com

Re: Get an entire PC in internet on my N810?
 

I tried it a long time ago when it came out - and sadly i doesn't work - very veeery slow to start up even the first page after logging in.

Re: Get an entire PC in internet on my N810?
 

I tested it using Tear in my N810 and I could not log in. I had hoped maybe Tear would be better, but after testing for about 10 minutes, I gave up on getting it to work.

Using NX or VNC on the N810 with Linode.com (or prgmr.com or slicehost or even Amazon EC + Ubuntu) might be doable. I could test that when I get time because I have a Linode.com account. But the fact of the matter is, I really prefer to just use my N810 as it is.

EDIT: sorry, I cannot test the NX or VNC scenarios because I do not have a GUI on my Linode.com server.
