xloadimage please! It's very nice minimalist image viewer, perfect for including in the NAND for file association.

Also xpra! https://www.xpra.org/
Hah. I remember when something like xpra was the normal way of running heavy graphical applications. Telnet to a cpu-heavy machine, export the DISPLAY, and run :D
 
Oh wow thanks!

How do you do that? I want to do that.
 
Eh, it was more than 20 years ago :) But if I remember correctly, an X-windows compliant program should look to the environment variable DISPLAY to determine what display to open its windows on. DISPLAY defaults to localhost:0, but if you set it to something else, like 192.168.0.1:0, then it should attempt to contact the X-server running at 192.168.0.1 and open the window on its first display. This is, of course, dependent on it not being a bunch of firewalls in the way, of modern X-servers actually honoring the DISPLAY protocol, and modern applications actually checking the DISPLAY variable. But theoretically :)
 
Thank you so much, I will try that! I'm sure it'll still work. I only need Skype to honor it anyway.
 
If the SSH server is configured to allow X forwarding, you can just start your SSH client with -X, it will take care of everything so you can directly start any graphical application, they will connect to your local X Server. Common X forwarding does have some limitations and quirks, though.
 
The problem with that is the encryption slows it down. I don't need encryption, I'm doing this over LAN, not the internet.
 
SSH uses symmetric algorithms for the main communication channel, those are usually extremely fast. As long as you don't want to transmit large amount of data, you won't notice anything.
 
I use X forwarding over SSH all the time. In my experience pandora SSH server takes about 15% CPU if the X window is constantly updated (web page with some animations, terminals scrolling lines every second etc.). If the window you forward is mostly static (like a text editor), the CPU share taken by SSH is insignificant.

SSH uses symmetric algorithms for the main communication channel, those are usually extremely fast. As long as you don't want to transmit large amount of data, you won't notice anything.
A typical rate I get with X forwarding is 10Mb/s (about 4 GB of data transferred per hour). Seems large enough to me.

So yes, the slowdown is noticeable, but not too bad.

Hi everyone..

Happy New Year  :)

right, reason for my post is that I want to draw you coders attention to this

https://github.com/l...ytoys/Beebdroid

Source code above.. just thinking if someone wanted to have a go with this for the Pandora?  

I`m happy to test.

thanks in advance.
Why not just use http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=beebem-15428 ?
I do... but it has some issues - needs some fixing in some areas... 
I want to bump this... and maybe add a bounty. $20 
 
I have a Port Request:

Telegram Messenger with Gui ^_^

I want it please as PND because i want to use the Zaxxon normal and Telegram only in the Backround.

The Telegram Version from the Repo is "only" the Cli Version :unsure:

Android /Exagear with Wine is no good Alternative for me.

Tried it with CodeBlocks,CdevTools,My Dev SD Card and all failed here.

Its a wonderfull OpenSource Messenger and i whish to have it here as PND please ;)

This one needs Qt5.4.0 (ok, I have it), but patched... So that will need a recompile of Qt5.4.0 :S So not sure (I am not in position to recompile Qt5.4.0 for now, I'm working on it and it's in a broken state for now). Not sure if it works with non-Patched QT.
