Just a test post to test the google group.
Looking forward for full open sourcing.

I just discovered ogon...

I installed ogon into an Ubuntu 18.04 KVM VM on an Ubuntu 18.04 host.

Everything appeared to install okay.

On my Host I am using freerdp v2 from the ubuntu repository (freerdpv2-dev)

$ xfreerdp /cert-ignore /drive:shared-folder,/home/bmullan/shared-folder +clipboard:on /sound /v:192.168.122.116

everything seems to work except sound.   Cut & Paste works, shared folder works. but no audio over rdp.

I've also tried and no sound with that either...

$ xfreerdp /cert-ignore /drive:shared-folder,/home/bmullan/shared-folder +clipboard:on /sound,sys:alsa /v:192.168.122.116

Looking at Sound in the Ubuntu Mate rdp session under Input and Output I only see "Dummy" device listed and the

"Dummy" input does show audio but having worked alot with XRDP I'd expect to see some ogon input/output device listed there

instead of "dummy"?

Ok... I got sound working over rdp.

What I did was rename my Ubuntu VM's /usr/bin/pulseaudio to /usr/bin/pulseaudio.save

Copied /opt/ogon/bin/pulaudio to /usr/bin/ to replace it

Rebooted and now sound works?

I guess a bit more documentation explaining what/when/how to use those binaries in /opt/ogon/bin would help others

By the way as far as remote printing... I have my own Github Project:  https://github.com/bmullan/ciab-remote-desktop

It uses guacamole/tomcat/nginx/mysql and xrdp with LXD containers.

To get printing to work in a Remote Desktop  session with a Linux machine (ubuntu LXD container w/xrdp) I initially used Google CloudPrint.

But i didn't like relying on CloudPrint & Google.

So I figured out how to configure the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) on the remote desktop linux system and its actually pretty easy.

I documented the steps in Issue #9 on my GitHub.

https://github.com/bmullan/ciab-remote-desktop/issues/9

In case that comes up with users of OGON.

That's right. This needs to be added to the documentation.

Ogon does have an extra pulseaudio module that isn't available upstream
(yet). Therefore the extra pulseaudio build is necessary. If you use the
startvc script from the misc directory in the ogon source you don't need
to replace the binaries. It's sufficient if you disable the system
pulseaudio for your XSession or add '/usr/bin/pulseaudio -k'
before the ogon's pulse get started.

Nice.

Thanks!
