Audio and Such

[moocow1452]

Starting a Chroot with VNCServer, audio doesn't seem to want to work for me. Is there any feasible way to get it piped through onto the Android end, or am I out of luck?

Almost all vncserver and viewers don't properly play sound. Can you try launching this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=x.org.server and then launching GNURoot with your DISPLAY environment variable set as the XSDL server instructed you? I haven't tried audio using it, but I am curious how it works for you. Please tell me. Also, please tell me specifically what you are trying to do with exact command lines, so I can try it out.

Thanks, Corbin

Trying to install pipelight to get Netflix to work. I've gotten it to work messing around with xattr, since it's an ext3 system, but audio is the current bottleneck. Would like to try with Splashtop as well, but getting that to play with Wheezy is more than I'd be comfortable with. On Apr 26, 2014 12:47 AM, "corbinlc" [email protected] wrote:

I am using mentioned X server (never tried vnc) and there I don't have any sound at all. At least I have no idea how to play video with sound in mplayer using X server. Mplayer tries to access alsa and fails. Any help?

For my experience with GnuRoot and Debian Noroot, if you have a x86 tablet why you don't try install Wine ? So far it installs fine and run the same Windows software with the same issues as expected for Wine on normal Linux systems.

apt-get install wine fails every time.

I should have been more specific. There is no wine package for ARM devices, and the majority of android tablets use ARM. That is also why chromium does not install. In theory you could create your own linux program that reroutes sound to a file on the the android sdcard, and an apk that plays the sound every time it is updated (of course, you would have to delete the sound file after it is run). It might be laggy, but it should (theoretically) work. I might work on that some time (not for a while though).

I am writingthis in iceweasel throught GNURoot Wheezy with the X Server XSDL app.

By the way, multiple progams (such as Iceweasel and some java installations) only work in the GNURoot Wheezy app, but NOT in the new GNURoot Debian app.

Also, LXDE is INCREDIBLE using X Server and GNURoot.
