Are you using Telnet or SSH?
Where do you expect the X client to display? Are you running an X server on your PC?
Sorry for the lack of detail.
Are you using Telnet or SSH?
SSH2
Where do you expect the X client to display? Are you running an X server on your PC?
On my PC. I am not running X server.
First, you must be running an X server on your PC (Exceed, Reflections, XWin32) See [url= http://www.xwin32.com ]www.xwin32.com[/url] for a trial version of their product.
Second, make sure you have X forwarding enabled in Absolute. Check Options->Properties->Connection->SSH2->Forwarding. If it is not enabled, enable it and disconnect/reconnect to activate it in the current session.
Third, check your DISPLAY variable. It should look something like this:
localhost:10.0
The SSH server will set this value for you at login time. Any attempt to change it will result in failure. Check you profile and startup scripts to be sure that you're not setting this manually somewhere. ':0.0' is wrong and refers to the X display on the server, not the client.
If the DISPLAY is either not set or set improperly, then it's possible your host does not allow X forwarding or you are overriding it somewhere.
Hope this helps.
Installed a free program "X Deep".
Set X Forwarding (i.e. Display remote X applications on local X server" in Absolute Telnet.
Started X Deep and started java program, Absolute Telnet, and got the following errors:-
(1) In Unix - Warning: Cannot convert string "-monotype-arial-regular-r-normal--*-140-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct
(2) In X Deep - java program screen appears but cannot do anything with it? Does not react to mouse clicks.
These are X issues and don't really have anything to do with AbsoluteTelnet. Try [url= http://www.xwin32.com ]www.xwin32.com[/url] to see if it has a better behavior. It is not free, but it does have a period of time it can be used as a demo. At least you can see if your issue is related to the X server or the SSH client.

It works.
The problem is that the responses are very slow about five seconds for a mouse click to elicit a response. Don't ask me why I thought sitting there & waiting was a good idea?
Both X-Deep & X-Win32 work. X-Win32 slightly more sophisticated as you don't get anX-server screen the application just suddenly appears, hence X-win32 fooled me the first time as the program screen takes some time to appear.
So all is hunky dory.
Thank you.
The response time can be slow, depending on a number of factors. If you're going across a dialup networking connection, you should expect some lag.
What version of Absolute are you using?
Some other things to try:
1. Compare speed using SSH1 vs. SSH2.
2. Compare speed with varying levels of compressing (including 'off').
3. If you're using a version prior to 3.80, try upgrading to at least 3.80 or above. There was an X11 speed improvement in 3.80 that you'll want.

V4.01

NND - No noticable difference.
2. Compare speed with varying levels of compressing (including 'off').
I use a Cable Modem connecting to the Internet via a D-Link router at about 985 kbps.
If I can change compression then I can't find it.
3. If you're using a version prior to 3.80, try upgrading to at least 3.80 or above. There was an X11 speed improvement in 3.80 that you'll want.
see above I use the latest version.

Found it
2. Compare speed with varying levels of compressing (including 'off').
Will do.

The only niticable difference is Time of Day, i.e. the number of users at the University end. Given Aussie Universities are well into 1st Semester 2006 Tutorials & 1st Assignments mean heavy use by students.
Anyway my X Server works albeit slowly so I consider this thread closed.
Thank you for your help.
Thanks for the followup!
