I really don't see why that should be relevant. I use:
ssh -X dylan@zen
when I run clementine in that login, it executes *on zen* (the media 'server') and its X display is forwarded to the client. Any audio connection it is trying to make is local to zen. The problem is that pulseaudio does not get run until a user logs in. Once I log in *locally* the instance of clementine running through ssh can play audio correctly. My problem is to get pulseaudio to run system-wide at boot, rather than when a user logs in locally to a graphical login.

Dylan, I think what you should try is logging onto zen. Find out exactly what you need to do to start clementine for the command line. If you are starting it from a gui, then open an xterm and look at ps axf for the default options clementine is started with. If for some reason 'ssh dylan@zen /usr/bin/clementine' isn't starting it the way you want, you can add the options to your ssh dylan@zen /usr/bin/clementine [options]' -- or -- you can then create a simple bash script that starts clementine with the proper options (clementine-run.sh) and save that to your home/scr[ipt] or /home/bin or whereever. (make sure it is executable) Like: #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/clementine -a blah -d blah -p bla ssh has the ability to execute whatever you want from your remote box on zen with the form: ssh user@hostname command ssh dylan@zen /path/to/clementine-run.sh Use this to your advantage to launch clementine on zen from wherever you want. If you are not opening an X window of clementine on your remote host when you ssh -X into zen, then forget the -X, you are just starting the app on zen. If you are getting a gui back, then keep it. If clementine is bombing when you try and start it, the see if you can find some error in /var/log/message or in ~/.xsession-errors If I have totally missed what you are trying to do, then I apologize. -- David C.
