Anybody try to configure for example ubutu to configure x2goserver to use libjpeg-tubro ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/libjpeg-turbo/ ) instead libjpeg ? I have read that for example OpenNX client for neatx or freenx server recommend to use this because libjpeg-turbo have speed improvement than standard libjpeg and it will be use full to reduce transfer for x2go session. I don't know how to configure (or is it possible?) x2goserver on ubutu to use libjpeg-turbo

libjpeg-turbo support (from my perspective) is a distribution issue. Libjpeg-turbo is pending for Debian sid inclusion:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=612341

As we do not have plans to ship libjpeg-turbo within the X2Go repository currently, I guess we will have to wait for distro inclusion in Debian/Ubuntu.

With other distros that already have libjpeg8 (optionally) replaced by libjpeg-turbo, it should be possible to compile NX (redistributed) against the faster libary.

There also is another NX related project on git.ethersoft.ru that provides NX with libjpeg-turbo. However, that repos only builds NX for FreeNX.

I have just tested an NX build against libjpeg-turbo. The libjpeg-turbo libraries I obtained from here:
http://people.debian.org/~fabo/libjpeg-turbo_1.1.90+svn704-1/

The test system was a Debian squeeze (so backporting from some brand new SID package is possible).

When using 16m-jpeg-9 compression over a UMTS (HDSPA) uplink the difference between libjpeg and libjpeg-turbo is smashing!!! It becomes so much smoother...

From my perspective, we should start testing on nx-libs with libjpeg-turbo in the nightly repository in the very very very near future.

The change-over is easy: if libjpeg-turbo62 is installable in the build chroot, NX builds against that one. If it is not present, it builds against libjpeg62.

@Developers: please give feedback on the proposed step.

Here is a recipe how to test NX with libjpeg-turbo:

ON SERVER
---------
1.
Install libjpeg-turbo from X2Go heuler repository (Debian-only)

2.
apt-get build-dep nx-libs
apt-get source -b nx-libs

3. (still on server)
cd ..
dpkg -i *.deb

ON CLIENT
---------
4.
Install your self-built packages libxcomp3 and nxproxy also on client

5.
Happy testing


The above should work with Debian squeeze, wheezy and sid as test system (amd64/i386).

Greets,
Mike
