Xpra
Starting with the winter semesters of 2023/2024 the remote.cip.cs.fau.de online service has been terminated due to unjustifiable maintenance costs.
It is still possible to use the underlying Xpra application to spawn a remote desktop session though.
Using the Xpra application
Press the start button of the application:
The following input starts a desktop with a Xfce-Session, the hostname is just an example:
To start an application, use the following input:
One has to enter the application in the "Command"-field, "intellij-idea" is just an example. Applications can as well be referenced by their absolute pathname, e.g. "/proj/i4spic/bin/editor" for the spic-ide.
Using a terminal
The following command starts a desktop with a Xfce-Session:
xpra start-desktop ssh://yourloginname@hostname/ --start-child=xfce4-session --exit-with-children
To start an application, use the following syntax:
xpra start ssh://yourloginname@hostname/ --start=<APPLICATION | path-to-binary>
Thus, if one wants to start IntelliJ IDEA, the command is:
xpra start ssh://yourloginname@hostname/ --start=intellij-idea
or if one wants to start the spic-ide, the command is:
xpra start ssh://yourloginname@hostname/ --start=/proj/i4spic/bin/editor
