Title: HP 16702A slow remote X-Session with Ubuntu
Post by: davorin on October 05, 2015, 10:00:18 am

Have you tried a VNC connection on the same systems for a speed comparison?

VNC didn't work at all for me....as I think you can't connect to it the normal but the 16702A has to connect to the workstation?

Did you try ending the current session and then starting a "Shared session (Web Remote Front Panel)" instead of an "Exclusive session (Console or RemoteX)" before trying a VNC connection?
