Improve responsiveness
Based on which Internet connection you connect from you can alter the responsiveness e.g. when moving windows.
Then the nxclient have been started click"Configure...". Here you can choose between
Modem, ISDN, ADSL, WAN, LAN.
If you conenct from within DTU without using wireless then LAN is a good starting point.
If you conenct from within home without using wireless then ADSL is a good starting point.
If you conenct from wireless connection then ISDN is a good starting point.
The setting changes the image compression, where the most compression is done with Modem, and is therefore gives the best response time, and LAN does almost no compression but requires more bandwidth.
Linux client
Download and install the one that fits your version of Linux distribution from https://linuxterm.imm.dtu.dk/clients/ .
When installed, start the client by entering
nxclient
and then exit it again and enter as your normal user
cd ~/.nx/config wget --user=$(whoami) --ask-password https://linuxterm.imm.dtu.dk/clients/config/linuxterm.nxs
and enter IMM passphrase.
When the client is started again linuxterm should be pre-selected in the "Session" box.
Now you are ready to connect.
