Re: Cygwin XFree86 startx Problem
Hi,
Don't know if I am answering to the right question/ problem, but I see
some referrals to passwd, username etc. To get to login to a Unix box
with X you can use the following script, after starting X and getting
into the xterm box of your local machine:
xhost +host /dev/null
export IPADDR=`ipconfig | grep Address | grep 10\. | cut -f 2 -d
: | cut -f 2 -d `
rsh host -l ${USERNAME} export DISPLAY=\${IPADDR}:0.0\;cd $HOME;
xterm
Use a modified startxwin.bat like:
start XWin -multiwindow
xterm -T your app initialisation screen -e startscript above
Note that the bash shell copies the MS-Windows environment to it as you
start it. That's the referral to ${USERNAME}. We have the same usernames
for the MS-Windows environment as well as the Unix box logging in to.
You can fill out your username on the remote Unix box as needed.
The string Address is what grep looks for in the output of ipconfig.
Maybe different in your locale. Check ipconfig output in your bash box.
10\. is part of our IP-address range in the Unix/ Windows network. It's
useful to scan your IP adresses when you have more than 1 NIC or more
than 1 IP-address.
In case you have a $HOME on the remote machine with spaces in it try cd
\${HOME}\ in the script.
Regards, Hans.

Robert,
Sorry, but no. Cygwin doesn't care about the Windows username, it looks
in /etc/passwd. If you change the name of the Windows account, you'd have
to regenerate the appropriate entry in /etc/passwd anyway, so why not just
eliminate the middle step and change /etc/passwd directly? Simply remove
the spaces from the username and the home directory in /etc/passwd (and
make sure you rename the directory itself), and it should be fine.

Correct this by going into the Windows Users' account setup in Control

Chan, use chansengloong as your new user name. Must be done in administrater

Over all effect will be a new account under Cygwin though windows.

Not so sure about that. That may fix some of the problems, but what about the last problem in the list: Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file Warning: Cannot convert string to type XftFont Harold
