Speeding up remote X sessions
- by Alexander Gladysh
I have a remote machine running Ubuntu 11.10 Server, to which I connect via SSH from OS X 10.7.3:
Host remote.example.com
ForwardX11 yes
ForwardX11Trusted yes
Sometimes I want to launch a GUI application there (most notably, gitk). But UI is rather slow. Both remote machine and my own Mac have good internet connection. Ping between them is about 55ms, and there is no packet loss. Is there something I can do to speed things up?
Setting up some other remote desktop solution is an option, but I'd like to avoid it since I don't need this application very often.
