I've been a subscriber to this list for some time, but I believe this is my
first
post. I'm a college professor who uses Cygwin in a small PC lab. I can start
an X server just fine (I'm an Administrator under Windows on these machines)
but my students cannot. I've already read the FAQ. Here are the specifics:
i) When my students attempt to run startxwin.bat, they get a dialog box telling
them they have a fatal error and to look at Xwin.log (I have attached an
Xwin.log
from a machine where a student attempted to use startxwin.bat). I do not get
this error when I run startxwin.bat; the X server comes up just fine.
ii) Here is the result of running ls -al /tmp /tmp/.X11-unix:
/tmp:
total 8
drwxrwxrwt+ 3 blandry Users 0 Feb 6 09:07 .
drwxrwxrwx+ 15 blandry Users 0 Jan 28 16:50 ..
drwxrwxrwt+ 2 lgriffith Domain Users 0 Feb 5 13:59 .X11-unix
-rwxr-xr-x 1 lgriffith Users 4533 Jan 28 17:33 XWin.log
/tmp/.X11-unix:
total 0
drwxrwxrwt+ 2 lgriffith Domain Users 0 Feb 5 13:59 .
drwxrwxrwt+ 3 blandry Users 0 Feb 6 09:07 ..
(lgriffith is my account and it is an Administrator under Windows. blandry is
the
account of our lab tech and it is not an administrator account.)
iii) The XWin.log file doesn't tell me what the error is. Maybe you'll have
better luck
reading it.
I know that starting the X server is one of the most frequently asked
questions
on this list, but I don't recall ever seeing this variant of it before. Thanks
for any
help you can give!
