Xming usage

[Engi Zoltán]

Hi Everybody,

I try to connect to debian system with xming. I use Windows Vista 64bit.
Unfortunately the connecting isn't succesful. I see grey window, and I
can move the the mouse on the screen, no more.
In the log file I get next error message:

What is the problem?

I'd try connecting to a different X client, e.g. a server running a
different distribution. See if you have the same problem. If so, then
it probably isn't due to Debian and you may have more luck seeking
help from an Xming mailing list or irc channel.

FWIW, I've had no trouble using Xming on Vista HP 32-bit to connect to
X clients on Debian or RHEL servers.

Good luck,

Sam

Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
Finally, I solved the problem with vpn.
The next problem is the speed. It is very slow, almost non usable. Is it
normally?
I use it via internet. The upload speed of server 0,5Mbit.

Thanks

Depends on the speeds of the X client machine, the X server machine,
the connection between them, and the amount of data being transferred
(so using gvim to edit a small text file will be more responsive than
using gimp to edit a huge image, for instance).

I'm afraid I don't have any measurements of my own systems that would
be helpful for you to benchmark against, sorry :(

Try using a light application to edit a small file and see if that's
responsive. If not, maybe something is wrong. Otherwise, you're
probably just pushing one of the systems involved (X client, server,
or connection) a little harder than it can easily cope with.

Good luck.
