AmiCygnix export DISPLAY help

@white

I'm not sure where the problem is - I cannot test it here. But I think the reason is, that all communication between the client and the server is going through the network, even the mouse movements and the key prints.

In other words: A basic problem of AmiCygnix is, that the GUI becomes slow, when there is a lot of traffic in the network. And in this case, the client (Firefox) gets the video data on the Linux side and sends it over the network to the X-Server on the Amiga side.

Unfortunately I cannot change this.

@cygnusEd

You are definitely right,
I did not notice that,
In fact, before launching the video, the menus work perfectly.
But once you launch the video to see the menus are practically "locked"
I will try to see if I can solve the problem.

I guess on real machines this doesn't happen thanks to the dedicated video card.

Here's a video of the test, but I'd say it's also a ble video to watch for its very human content

@cygnusEd

I worked a bit on pre-buffering the videos now everything works fine.
At the resolution of 1024x768 the base is ready.
Now I can only make improvements for the better.

One last question this doesn't always happen but here is the .log:
(from amigaos shell terminal after DISPLAY export)

ALSA lib conf.c:4120:(snd_config_update_r) Cannot access file /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
ALSA lib seq.c:935:(snd_seq_open_noupdate) Unknown SEQ default

This doesn't seem to affect operation or even audio sync.

Could I fix it somehow if needed?

Thank you.


The original video runs at 16:9
But the video capture turns it into 4:3

Here the test video is a bit long this time

I'm afraid I cannot help you. I don't know much about ALSA. But I guess, that the problem is on Linux side, even if the message appears in the amigaos shell.

From where does the sound come from? As the X server cannot handle sound, it should be played on the Linux system side.

@cygnusEd

Thanks for the info,
I changed distribution because Ubuntu 22.04 has problems with firefox snaps and I don't want to bother editing the files.
This resulted in AmiCygnix crashing from time to time

Now everything works perfectly.

I've made numerous changes to Firefox to make videos smooth.

Thanks again for AmiCygnix.

I hope there will always be new versions and with new features.

I don't know if the question is wrong but I'll do it

Could a Voodoo3 driver for AmiCygnix be made?
If that's the right question.

Thank you

Which then is the most complete system in emulation because it allows you to see Demos etc.

Here a video while using Voodoo3 in emulation with Firefox via AmiCygnix.

There are no wrong questions

Please notice, that AmiCygnix uses different drivers for different gfx card driver software like "Picasso96", "Cybergraphics" or the new OS4 routines. AmiCygnix does not support a gfx card directly!
So if a gfx card is supported by a driver software, it is also supported by AmiCygnix. Just choose the desired gfx card in the screenmode settings in myX11Setup.

I need help
How do I know the name of the Amiga machine I'm working with?

I do:
ssh-copy username@192.168.0.2

But how do I know the username on AMIGAOS ??



/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: Source of key(s) to be installed: "/home/white/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed

/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.2 port 22: Connection refused

Server side I just have to transmit the keys to AMIGA
Thank you

Basically I need the username of the Amiga Machine emulated with Pegasos2.

What command can I give from the Amiga shell to know the name of the Amiga machine I'm using?

@white

There's the command "whoami" on Linux and maybe also on your system.
But I'm not sure if this helps you with your problem.

@cygnusEd

Thanks for the reply,
You have been very kind.
I'm investigating why it still doesn't work.

On my system, I've set the name in hosts section of internet prefs, so the name is known over the network. You can still look at your router setting if there is a map of your network with the name of the connected devices.

On WinUAE it works perfectly only with external IP and with RTL8029. using VMnet8 (VMWare) as driver.
Using NPcap to be able to activate it.
With local IP e.g. 10.0.2.15 doesn't work.

I talked to ZBalaton and he told me to totally change my approach to the problem because Qemu is not WinUAE.

So doing with Qemu:
sudo ip tuntap add user white mode tap
sudo ip link set tap0 up
sudo ip addr add 192.168.0.1/24 dev tap0
sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.2 -j MASQUERADE

qemu-system-ppc -cpu 7447 -L pc-bios -M pegasos2 -bios /home/white/Scaricati/pegasos2.rom -m 1024 -serial stdio -device sm501 -drive if=none,id=hd,file=/home/white/Scaricati/16gb.raw,format=raw -device ide-hd,drive=hd,bus=ide.1 -netdev tap,id=tap0,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no -device rtl8139,netdev=tap0 -nodefaults -display sdl -vga none

I get the external IP I need

connecting with RTL8139 with static IP with:
192.168.0.2
255.255.255.0
192.168.0.1
192.168.0.1

the network works well for example with Odyssey (a slight lag)


I did an "ARP Scan" and there doesn't seem to be any conflict with The ip is port 22

i can access the terminal from amignix to linux and i can do anything from the shell.

At the moment I can launch applications like firefox, FFplay, ect. but only if i open the DISPLAY on linux.

while if I open it on Amicygnix with
export DISPLAY=192.168.0.2:0.0

in HostX.0 I put the linux IP
and I use FFplay
i get for example only the sound but i don't see anything on AmiCygnix.

if i do echo "$DISPLAY"
192.168.0.2:0.0

if I do "$AUTHORITY"
the field is empty:

while XAUTH list
I have the linux key to send

I think there are problems with sending the MAGIC COOKIE1

i'm reading this:
https://serverpilot.io/docs/how-to-use ... ublic-key-authentication/

https://www.ssh.com/academy/ssh/keygen

I downloaded Openssh from OSDepot I hope they are the right files to use on the AmigaOS side.

And I use SSHTErm to connect.

Could this be due to the "Silicon" video driver ?
which is not supported by AmiCynix ?

also i wanted to ask if your file on linux:

lib/systemd/system/ssh.socket

is set up like this:

[Units]
Description=OpenBSD Secure Shell server sockets
Before=ssh.service
Conflicts=ssh.service
ConditionPathExists=!/etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run

[Sockets]

Or like this:

Before=sockets.target
ConditionPathExists=!/etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run

[Socket]
ListenStream=22
Accept=no

[Install]
