Re: Cygwin/x window no longer appears

Until now, I have been starting Cygwin/X by using startxwin.bat in the Cygwin bash shell. Everything seemed to be working fine. However, it has now stopped working... When I type startxwin.bat in the Cygwin shell, the normal startxwin.bat - starting on Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 appears. Yet, the window which used to appear no longer does. I am really not too sure what to do about this, given that I have not (consciously!) modified anything. I have installed Cygwin (and Cygwin/x) very recently, and have tried to reinstall the latter using Cygwin's setup.exe, but to no effect. I assume it's the terminal window (xterm) that does not show up. Does the X server start up? Check if the little X in the system tray is present, and stays when you put the mouse over it . If not, you need to check /var/log/XWin.*.log; there may be some error message there. (Best to delete it and then try startxwin.bat) Another test is to start a cmd.exe and run startxwin.bat from there. Are there any error messages from running startxwin.bat ? Does startxwin.bat really try to start the xterm? Maybe it got commented out (that's what I do with my startxwin) Hope this helps somewhat, Csaba -- Life is complex, with real and imaginary parts -- 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/
