Re: Using XWin.exe to connect to a linux X Server



Just to complete this issue, I had to delete the account and recreate it. The reason why was that I previously had an SPARC sunworkstion with Gentoo on it, and I rsync-ed all of the files and directories from that server. I was running gnome on that server also, but somehow the previous settings were getting picked up by the new gnome, which was a newer version and it was kicking me out. After creating the new user with the same name I am able to login and do my work.


thanks,

josé

Hi,

Not to leave you hanging, the problem was the xdmcp was not enabled. But there is another problem, which has nothing to do with cygwin. Somehow, my userID has something weird. Other co-workers are connecting fine, but my user ID is not working from any machine. They can login from my cygwin setup with their logonID without any problem, but my userID just does not work. From my setup and their setup.


have you checked to what DISPLAY is set for your user ID on the Linux box?

If it is set to local host, I expect what you are getting.

Erich
