[Announce] AirX 0.3
 

Hello!

AirX is a GUI for X Forwarding. What that means is that it enables you to use any program you have on your Linux PC on your tablet. Nice, hm? There are some nice improvements in 0.3.

Check out the video HERE. (Pay no attention to mother in the background :o)

The original AirX was just an introduction to programming for myself, but I wanted to make something useful out of it now.

The ease of administrating my home server from anywhere without the need of a command line is wonderful.

I don't have to type in my user name, password, IP address, or anything else. AirX remembers it for me and lets me run whatever I need easily and simply.

You can grab AirX HERE and try it out :D (Pexpect must be installed, too. It is on that page.

Please post any bugs, explosions, or suggestions here!

Oh, and you're really awesome if you can name the background music in the video... ;)

I haven't had the time to try it out but it looks awesome. This is without any encryption is it? How is the performance compared to vnc?

Re: [Announce] AirX 0.3
 

This is encrypted :D This is much safer and much faster than VNC. It will allow you to run only what you need (an individual program OR a whole desktop like KDE) instead of just throwing the whole screen at you like VNC does.

This goes through SSH and is pretty damn secure :)

Thanks! This very cool. I just installed it, logged into my Ubuntu box, launched Thunderbird, downloaded and read email. No problems. One question at this point, how do I add a program to the drop down list?

Re: [Announce] AirX 0.3
 

I know where it's from. (Zelda). Though I've never heard that version before.. who is it?

Re: [Announce] AirX 0.3
 

Why did I not think of that... :o You can't do it easily atm, but that should be fixed soon...

@Laughing Man: Correct! That is the Darkworld Theme. Written by Koji Kondo and arranged by... Well, I didn't catch his name :o

Insert "any change for a gregale ITOS2006 version?" here.

I tried connecting from my n800 running Diablo to my notebook running Xubuntu Hardy. when I run airx from the commandline, fill in the form and press 'Launch program' nothing happens and on the commandline I see:

I can ssh into my notebook, and from the notebook to the tablet though.

well, i just installed to see if it would do full screen, and right now, it does not. less useful than first imagined. vnc will do until this goes fullscreen , and is configurable for what you wish to run. Great first effort!! will test connectivity on my laptop and servers later this evening.
