I try to run octave in cygwin, which works fine, but if I want to draw a plot it doesn't open a new window. I'm a beginner with cygwin and unix-environments and was not able to find an understandable solution. Starting octave i get the following error: warning: X11 DISPLAY environment variable not set Typing "startx" I get the following: xauth: (stdin):1: bad "add" command line [dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/OTF/, removing from list The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:Warning: Type "ONE_LEVEL" has 1 levels, but<RALT> has 2 symbols Ignoring extra symbolsErrors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server winBlockHandler - pthread_mutex_unlock() Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key.. I had this error message starting matlab, can that be fixed, is this the same problem or a different one? Warning: No display specified. You will not be able to display graphics on the screen. thanks a lot
Hi, octave graphics need X running so please follows http://cygwin.com/problems.html so we can understand you X server issue. Instead of startx you can also try startxwin directly or though the "X Win Server" icon on the start menu. Or the new experimental xlaunch (in package xlaunch) Regards Marco -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
