I've always been annoyed, that there is no sane way to use programs on my android phone on my desktop and use the keyboard I'm working at.

Sometimes I want to send off an and just want that dialog of the phone be available on my notebook.

On the just compiled as well as on my notebook.

On my notebook using waypipe called via ssh on my . Chatty showed up on my notebook :).

Sending and receiving works.

gitlab.freedesktop.org/mstoeck

@chrichri Thanks for the pointer to #waypipe, this seems like a good way to facilitate #convergence between devices, e.g. a @mobian #pinephone and your #linux laptop.

@mobian

Not completely worry free, but I'd say it would be worth dpkg :).

@chrichri Just compiled and tried it out, but all that "waypipe ssh pinephone chatty" does (when invoked on the Laptop) is to start chatty on the pinephone display 😣

@mobian

Not entirely worry free...

There's an instance of chatty running as a daemon. You need to kill that before you can get the window showing up through waypipe.

And after closing I guess you need to restart the daemon on your phone to have SMS working - but didn't try, yet.

Mine is still running on my notebooks desktop :).

As a general test kgx (King's Cross) worked for me without further changes.

@chrichri Fancy! kgx works (can't resize or move the window) but input/output works fine. Thanks for the pointer!

@mobian

Try right-clicking on the title bar. In my x-based desktop I can choose resize or move from the context menu.

@mobian @chrichri how well does it work? i mean, forwarding an x11 app is quite slow (i use x2go for that). is it fast enought to play games (for example like moonlight) or more like normal x11 forwarding?

@scops @chrichri having tried the terminal and remote chatty so far, I can tell you that I would not want to play games over the connection, but there are a bunch of optional dependencies that I have not tried that could help with acceleration.
