Help with lyx for windows
Hi, This is my second mail on topic, but I don't know how to solve my problem in other ways. I've installed lyx for windows (1.1.6 fixc) in this environment: - Pc Laptop Pentium III (Acer 524TE) - Windows Millenium Edition - cygwin - X-win32 or Exceed - MikTex When I try to start lyx it says: Unable to access X display - exiting Someone told me to modify the DISPLAY variable in the file /etc/lyxprofile in order to change the value localhost to the true IP address of my machine, but nothing seems to change. I have no firewall or other protections. Someone could help me ???

Re: Help with lyx for windows
Here is what your lyxprofile should look like: # Set up your home directory (in Cygwin syntax) export HOME=//d/LyxDocs # Set up your Language (if you do not want English) #export LANG=DE # # Below this line you should not change anything if you're # not familiar with configuration of an unix application! # export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:$PATH export USER=`id -un` export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 export MAKE_MODE=unix unset DOSDRIVE unset DOSDIR unset TMPDIR unset TMP for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do if [ -f $i ]; then . $i fi done cd $HOME test -f ./.bashrc . ./.bashrc * and your runlyx.bat in your cygwin directory should look like: * @echo off :: START YOUR X-SERVER HERE :: First change into its directory (The path should :: be quoted if there is any space character in it!) :: Then call the executable, i.e. xwin32 here! :: echo Starting X-Win32 ... cd F:\Program Files\StarNet\X-Win32 start .\xwin32.exe :: Change your geometry settings in the last line so :: the LyX window will fit on your screen! :: cd F:\cygwin\bin start .\lyxwin32.exe -geometry 900x800+100+5 * When you start lyx, this is the file that you run, not any other. It starts your X server then Lyx.

Help with Lyx for windows
Hi, My Lyx for windows doesn't work and I'm terrible sad about using Ms word instead, I installed lyx 1.1.6 fix2 c,cygwin, miktex and I have two x-servers: Exceed Xwin32 When I start Lyx I receive the message: Unable to open X display - Exiting, with all the x-servers above. Anyone can help me ?? Thanks Fabrizio

Or try running lyx with argument -display localhost:0 Can you run remotely X programs from real unix computers?

Anyone can help me ?? Just for information what I have been answered to that topic some days ago: There may be two reasons for that: 1. Edit C:\Cygwin\lyxprofile and set the correct IP address, followed by an ':0' for DISPLAY. If you have an Ethernet card installed on your system please use it's IP address instead of 127.0.0.1! Most X-Servers automatically serve the default IP address of your system. 127.0.0.1 (or localhost, i.e. the corresponding net name) is only valifd if you do have a DUN on your system. 2. If you have installed a firewall on your system (like me) than you have to create a new rule so that LyX can connect to the X-server. (Take a look at your firewall distributor, to learn how this has to be made!) I use the x-server Exceed from Hummingbird which worked correctly in the previous release. Because it was running I expect that editing lyxprofile could fix the problem! Claus
