RE: Warning: No xauth data
Thanks for the hints on this, I've managed to get it working without
the warning message. Here's what I did:
bash$ xauth
xauth add :0 . hexnumber # I used FACEFEEDFACEFEED
xauth add localhost:0 . hexnumber
xauth exit
my .ssh/config has:
ForwardX11Trusted yes
XAuthLocation /usr/bin/xauth
Next, I have a little macro in .bashrc:
startapp() { (ssh -Xn $* ) ; }
declare -fx startapp
Then, to start a remote application (xterm in this case) I do:
bash$ startapp othernode xterm
I haven't done exhaustive testing, but seems to do the trick.
By the way, the new Cygwin/X bits are GREAT! Thank you for the great update!!!
Benn

RE: /usr/lib/X11 replaced
-Original Message- From: Eric Blake To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] According to Ian Puleston on 11/14/2008 4:02 PM: It turns out that rxvt can't find the resource file /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt because there is no longer a /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults. Any idea what may have caused this. Yes. You probably recently upgraded your installation, without reading the release notes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2008-11/msg0.html OK, I've now removed the /usr/lib/X11 link as per the notes and then ran setup to reinstall everything that I had installed in the x11 section of setup, plus rxvt. It re-created a /usr/lib/X11 directory containing just Xcms.txt and nothing else, so rxvt was still missing its resources. I then tried uninstalling and re-installing rxvt which changed nothing. There are a dozen files still in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 which /usr/lib/X11 used to link to, including the missing app-defaults. I can (will) copy that over but should I be doing that? Should I copy all/some of the other files over too? There's nothing in the release notes about needing to do all this.

I then tried uninstalling and re-installing rxvt which changed nothing. rxvt was just updated to fix that issue, as stated in the release announcement.

Not if you want things to work correctly. Should I copy all/some of the other files over too? There's nothing in the release notes about needing to do all this. Isn't that a pretty big hint that you shouldn't?
