Re: xterm Xt error: Can't open display
Many thanks for your help, it was very useful and much appreciated. I made a .xinitrc in my home directory and this did not work. However when I turned off my internet security software (norton internet security), cygwin worked fine. upon further examination i found out that norton was blocking Xwin and all cygwin programs. Now everything works fine apart from the fact i still see this message whenever i start xwin startxwin.bat - Starting on Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 6 [main] run 1852 tty_list::allocate: No tty allocated 9 [main] run 4020 tty_list::allocate: No tty allocated thanks once again claire Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com -- 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/

You mean it is a different xterm? What functionality is missing? i have tried going back to my original install, this no longer works either. i have spent all day trying to work out how to fix this (googling, mail list archive searches etc) and have failed so any help you could supply would be very much appreciated! I think in your old installation you had changed the startup or your user's .xinitrc; this last one is usually the one that opens the xterm. If you don't have a ~/.xinitrc then it is a global script opening the xterm, that should be /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. If that is the case you can copy that one to your .xinitrc and make changes there. For instance you can edit the last line (commented below) and instead start xterm with your favorite options: #exec xterm -e /usr/bin/bash -l exec xterm -sb -sl 1024 -rv -geometry 80x25+0+0 -name login or even better, something like: rxvt -rv -display localhost:0.0 -sl 1024 -e bash -li (those are simple examples, you can do much more with other parameters). cat /tmp/XWin.log _XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created.

Re: xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
Yes I've tried all combinitions of these. We have a proprietary version of xdisplay (winpro) which works... Also, as I said, it used to work until I upgraded in November or so.

Re: xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
Chris, Did you read the last part of the article at the link Alexander posted? The one about server configuration? You mentioned upgrading Linux, and I'm not sure the default sshd_config comes with X11Forwarding enabled. Igor P.S.

Re: xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
Thank you Igor, It was the sshd-config that was the problem. I've now got gnome-session starting. Also sorry bout the addresses. I didn't realize that my client was misbehaving that badly. Unfortunatly I don't see any way of turning it off. Time to change to a new client I suppose. (sigh). suggestions?
