It is unworkable. Ubuntu, NY 2. Am I the only one? What can I do?

    Does the terminal freeze when this happens?
    Does the message show instantly when you join, or does it show after a few seconds?

    Hello,

    The terminal does not freeze, and it does not happen instantly. Sometime, I can work normally for a few minutes, but it keeps happening. Time span can be somewhere between 30 seconds and 5 minutes before the connection fails.

    Thank you for reply

Hi @protagonist

In that case, try editing a couple of files.

On the server edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config (using nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config for example).
Find the line which says ClientAliveInterval and increase it to something like 600.

On the client edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config (using nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config for example).
Find the line which says ServerAliveInterval and increase it to something like 600.

If those lines are not in the files already, just add them like this:

ClientAliveInterval 600

and this:

ServerAliveInterval 600
