Help on X11 - gucamole
Hi Mike and All,
Thank you very much for adding me to the group.
I understand that Guacamole is free and open source project. My aim is to
add X11 protocol support to guacamole so that x11 systems can be connected.
I wrote a plugin and tried configuring with guacamole, but I'm facing
errors like plugin is not loaded/recognised.
Any sample code or example for x11 plugin would help me a lot to progress.
I just need to establish the connectivity between x11 server and client
through guacamole.
So any help appreciated.
Regards,
Robin

Hi Everyone,
This is a gentle reminder for my earlier request. Can anyone please
advice me on the issue I am facing from guacamole which I explained in my
earlier email.
Regard,
Robin

If you're installing to /usr/lib, can you confirm that the plugin is present as:
/usr/lib/libguac-client-x11.so
?
Assuming that is the case, what is the output of:
ldd -r /usr/lib/libguac-client-x11.so
?
All that said, from my earlier response:

Regardless of the issues you're having with getting guacd to find your
custom plugin, I really don't think a protocol plugin is a good
approach for this, and there is work underway upstream for achieving
the same. Rather than spin your wheels trying to start from scratch,
have you taken a look at the work we have already done?
Taking into account X11's different architecture relative to VNC and
RDP, is there a reason you are trying to go with the guacd plugin
approach?
Thanks,
- Mike

Hi Everyone,
I need a help from you for testing and debugging my new plugin
implementation with guacamole. I was able to build my new plugin for x11
with guacamole and the libraries are generated in usr/lib folder.I have
enabled the sys log and I'm running the guacd in debug mode.The error I'm
getting is the plugin is not loaded to the guacamole and it is coming from
guacamole before hitting any of my code. I have checked the authentication
part by replacing the vnc libraries and it looks good. Could you please
help me to make progress on this. I am completely stopped at this error.
Regards,
Robin

Hi Robin,
Please see the responses to your original thread here, which I believe
address your questions:
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/745c60234f20c4afface21edd88201a53387fbcce186947b83209795@%3Cdev.guacamole.apache.org%3E
The X11 protocol doesn't work in the same way as VNC, RDP, etc. with
respect to the concept of a server and client, and I don't think you can
use the same approach here. While VNC or RDP provide clients with a view of
the display, X11 does not do this. X11 clients are the applications
rendering to the display, with the display itself not really being part of
the protocol, but rather an integral component of the server. We already
have an effort underway for adding the functional equivalent of X11
support, but it has taken the form of a display and input driver for the
X.Org X11 server (see thread linked above).
