  is enough to do much, like viewing multi-byte documents in Vim.  I use
  this script to start a UTF-8 XTerm:
  
  #!/bin/sh
  LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 xterm -u8 -fn *-medium-*--18-*-iso10646-1 -fb
  *-bold-*--18-*-iso10646-1 -fw *-medium-*-ja-18-*-iso10646-1 -e
  bash $@ 
  

Double quotes around the $@ variable will ensure that positional variables 
are passed into the second shell undisturbed:

#!/bin/sh
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 xterm -u8 -fn *-medium-*--18-*-iso10646-1 -fb
*-bold-*--18-*-iso10646-1 -fw *-medium-*-ja-18-*-iso10646-1 -e
bash $@

Have you tried shift-insert instead of middle button?  My default 
installation of Cygwin and X supports this key combination.

xterm over ssh and X11UseLocalhost - solution

2005-09-19 Thread Poor Yorick 

An FYI post for the archives.


From a local xterm on a Cygwin X server, I was able to open xterm windows to 
various remote hosts over ssh.  However, on one fresh minimal installation of 
Debian Sarge


ssh -Yf user@host xterm
(and other related commands)

produced various errors:

X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
unable to open display

I was able to open xterm's over ssh from other hosts.  I installed xauth on the 
remote host:

apt-get install xbase-clients

I verified my configuration against the Cygwin/X FAQ:

http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-ssh-no-x11forwarding

In the local xterm DISPLAY was set to localhost:0 and was exported.

On a different remote host where xterm worked properly,
/etc/ssh/sshd_config had the following line:

X11UseLocalhost no

But on the remote host with non-working xterm, the command xauth list
showed no fully-qualified host names apart from localdomain:

debian/unix:10  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  
localhost.localdomain:10  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  
localhost.localdomain:11  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  
debian/unix:11  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  

So this needed to be in sshd_config:

X11UseLocalhost yes

(which is the default)

after restarting the ssh daemon on the remote host:

/etc/init.d/ssh restart

My xterm window appeared.

The rest of this post is the sshd_config for that host, verbatim.

# include statement in Xdefaults not working

2005-08-26 Thread Poor Yorick 

Hi, I hav a ~/.Xdefaults file with only one line in it:

# include myXdefaults

According to X man page, I expected myXdefaults to be included, but the 
resources declared in myXdefaults do not take effect.  Any suggestions?


Bye,

Poor Yorick
