Thank you for your answer, I tried to use an SSH tunnel between my local machine and the guacd port which is connected to the VNC machine, I manage to send a start application instruction but I get the display on my local machine, probably i'm not correctly setting the display to the VNC connection display. I'm not sure I know how to do that. I'm sorry if this is a little bit out of context.

No, I don't think this is readily doable. First, such an instruction does not currently exist within Guacamole. While that is something that could be implemented, probably relatively easily, the bigger issue is that I do not believe such an instruction exists in the VNC protocol - so, even if Guacamole could send such an instruction from the client to guacd, there'd be no way for guacd to relay such an instruction on to the VNC server, because VNC doesn't have any mechanism, that I am aware of, to handle such conversations. VNC does have something called gii (General Input Interface) that _might_ be able to accomplish this, but it's not really intended for this scenario and is more intended to support input controls (joysticks, digital pens, etc.) that don't conform to the standard Mouse or Keyboard interface. That's not to say it's completely impossible - I suppose you could probably do something like: * Establish both VNC and SSH connection to the system, some how correlating the two. * Use the SSH channel to send start applications, setting the display to the VNC connection display. That'd be a bit more complicated in terms of coding - adding the SSH capability and then being able to somehow correlate the VNC and SSH sessions. But it seems like it's plausible in absence of some sort of in-band signaling mechanism with VNC. -Nick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] -- JABER Fatima Ezzahra 2A SEOC Grenoble-INP Phelma Tél : +33 (0) 6 05 93 50 23 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
