-Y switch warning
Hi, I cannot get some programs (such as Eclipse 3.0.2 from eclipse.org) to work with -X switch, so I use -Y for ssh connections with X11 forwarding. And, I get this warning message with -Y: Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. Is this important? Shall/how do I fix it? thank you - Levent

Re: Problem with running remote Linux Java GUI
I also had some problems with certain programs (not necessarily with java). And find a simple solution which I do not know it works: If you are using ssh with X11 forwarding for connections, maybe -Y (instead of -X) may work for you. -L.

Any ideas? -p is used to add additional entries to $PATH. You're mrxvt can not load the missing the X11 libraries and maybe not even the cygwin1.dll library maybe this helps. C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe -p /usr/X11R6/bin mrxvt -e /usr/bin/tcsh or C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe -p /usr/X11R6/bin -p /usr/local/bin mrxvt -e /usr/bin/tcsh you may also start with placing mrxvt in /usr/bin (where xterm lives) and use just a slightly tweaked command C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe -p /usr/X11R6/bin mrxvt -e /ust/bin/tcsh bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

There's only one "server" and that is cygwin.com (aka sourceware.org aka gcc.gnu.org). Disk space is limited there. Of course, the real reason why we don't do this, though, is "because we're mean". However, meanness aside, A google search of "cygwin time machine" might prove instructive. It would unearth this URL: http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/index.html#cygwincirca . This is an independent (not supported by this site) project to archive all previous releases of cygwin.
Re: Tabbed xterm
Thanks for the info. I got it working. One thing though, and this is probably an easy one. How can I get a windows shortcut to start mrxvt? Xterms are started like this: C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe -p /usr/X11R6/bin xterm -e /usr/bin/tcsh but if I try to start mrxvt like this: C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe -p /usr/local/bin mrxvt -e /ust/bin/tcsh Nothing comes up.

I work in AIX support and we have a lot of customers who use Hummingbird Exceed to connect to AIX boxes running CDE. This works fine as long as the AIX box is running dtlogin which sends information back to Exceed. But if they want to run more complicated apps like the Oracle installer (which I suspect is java-based) they have to use XVFB, the Virtual Frame Buffer which emulates a graphics card. I am not sure what else Cygwin needs to give Java what it needs, will be interesting to hear what others say. Hope this helps a little :-). I installed Cygwin last weekend because I wanted to connect to my FreeBSD box from my Win2K laptop and run Emacs in full graphics mode. I'm doing that now and it's flawless! -- Chris Conn http://storm.cadcam.iupui.edu/~cmcgoat Austin, Texas, USA
Problem with running remote Linux Java GUI
Hi friends, I use Cygwin/X to run remote X window programs. It works perfect for normal Linux X applications; but not for any Java GUI. In a Cygwin xterm, when I run a Java GUI in a remote linux machine, I only get an empty window which does not show all the interface elements, e.g., button, menu, and others.

I uploaded a new release which avoids setting the sticky bit on the directory. maybe you'll have to remove the old /tmp/.X11-unix manually.

I kept the xorg-x11 6.7.0 packages for some time on www.cygwin.com but had removed them a short time ago for several reasons - make room for 6.8.2. The xorg-x11 packages are huge - 6.7.0 is about one year old (it was released on april 7th 2004) - setup.exe does only handle 3 releases. When doing updates I try to keep the direct predecessor (for easy reverting an update) and a bit older version for regression checks. eg 6.8.2-5, 6.8.2-4 and 6.8.1-7 For 6.8.0 and 6.8.1 I kept 6.7.0 but now it's too old to be useful in general bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

Hey! Thanks ago, already had those sources from CVS laying around. I'll get the other source-code from some other place. How come older packages aren't kept online on atleast a couple of servers? //Sebastian

Obtaining older packages...
Hey ppl! I'm on the hunt for older versions of Cygwin packages than are available in any of the FTP archives. Does anyone know where to find them? I doubt they're just deleted. What I'm looking for is the SRC package of the following zlib-1.2.1-1, cygwin-1.5.10-3, X-startup-scripts-1.0.8-1, and xorg-x11-bin-dlls-6.7.0.0-5. Cheers, Sebastian
