Hi Tom, how are you doing?
You could try to turn on compression for you SSH connection, on a heavily loaded network this can improve remote X application performance.
You can do this by using -C additional to -X when doing SSH to your MCPC:
$ ssh -CX user@hostname
Well, since I work on the Intel network and the Data Center is upstairs, I'm getting pretty good response. I get reasonable response from home also. But when I work from home I VPN into the Intel network. And so when I am actually accessing the MCPC I am not going into the firewall, rather going out through a SOCKS PROXY.
Input from real external users is appreciated here. I think most external users are not using the Gui, however.
Are you using VNC? Is it latency or BW that are your problem?
I am using SSH. I think the problem is with the latency. The bandwidth at my workplace should be enough.
As an external user i can confirm that latency is a problem when using sccGui, ( i mainly use command line)
In case you want to use sccGui and/or sccDisplay I'd definetly recomment to open a VNC Server on the MCPC and a VNC client at your site. The graphical tools are much more responsive in the VNC viewer. Please give it a try and let us know if it improves your use case...
Sorry, I thought you were using VNC. Is your performance with VNC acceptable?
Locally here both X11 forwarding and VNC work fine, but even so we mostly use VNC.
Using VNC does improves performance very well. However it seems that I am unable to openup sccKonsole in VNC mode as it crasheses sccGui or if i try to open up in konsole same thing happens, interestingly enogh this does not happen when using ssh.
Anyone with same problem or any ideas as what is going wrong?
Oh, this was a bug. This used to happen. There's a configuration fix that I've forgotten. Does anyone remember? I can find it in my notes. We discovered this even before we set up Bugzilla ... otherwise it would be in there.
If you can provide that configuration fix, that will be grate help.
Thanks
Just to get the right info ....
I assume you are coming in from a Linux box, not Windows.
You are using xvncviewer ( do not use xtightvncviewer)
On the desktop that comes up you have removed the mail icon on the toolbar
