Re: Problem with running remote Linux Java GUI
Thanks for Christopher and Levent for valuable the comments. However, these solutions do not work for me. -Y was rejected by my remote linux system. A weird thing I observed is that in a remote linux Xterm (using ssh) being connected to Cygwin for longer than a certain period of time (more than a half hour), the GUI of remote Java program can be properly displayed. But for a newly connected Xterm, it still does not work. At least, it can be used as a temporal solution. Does anyone have clue about it? Does it related to the X authority setting?

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.

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. In the mail achieve, I found some one posted the similar issues when executing a Java GUI in a remote Solaris system. But the solution is not applicable to my case. Does any one meet the same problem, or have any clue about it? Thanks George __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

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
