Here is what I have just used for Ubuntu 9.10 and Linux Mint 8.

Jay

These instructions work for Ubuntu 9.10 and Linux Mint 8 (which is based
on Ubuntu 9.10) and are based on Nate Bounds work on Ubuntu help
forums.


Download iSeries Access for Linux here:

http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/download/search.jsp?go=y&rs=ial

I use the v6r1 version and I download it to my Downloads directory.

Get into terminal. Then:


# cd Downloads


# sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts -y



# sudo fc-cache -f -v



# sudo apt-get install libmotif3 alien -y



#sudo alien -i iSeriesAccess-6.1.0-1.0.i386.rpm -cv



# xset fp


# ibm5250 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx or domain name of as400/iseries/i5/system i/whatever_it_is_called_today


You can use setup5250 to customize the installation. To make a launcher, go to a desktop and right click and select 'Create Launcher' and place ibm5250 and desired session attributes in the command field.

The key mapping and other options are easy to configure and is very
stable and only uses about 5 meg per session.

Could you post a sanitized version of your config? I thought it was
anything but easy to configure (though maybe I am thinking of the TN5250
project config files).
