I just now upgraded to the latest version of cygwin. Now, when I run
startxwin.sh, I get the following errors:
==================================
1. _XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will
not be created.
The FAQ says this error is harmless and can be ignored, so I'm ignoring it.
2. Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/,
removing from list!
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
I'ved followed steps under 8.4 of
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof but
the problem (X not starting) does not go away.
3. A pop dialog saying
"A fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit. Please open
/tmp/Xwin.log for more information.
...
XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error "
I've tried (in vain) creating a root user from Windows followed by a
$ mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd
$ chown -R root /tmp/.X11-unix
==================================
Can somebody please help get X up and running? Downgrading cygwin
would be a big pain!
Frustrated cygwin user.
