No xauth data.

I have a tiny problem with ssh. I run: ssh -X -T -f twin /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -sb -sl 1000 -rightbar -ls and get the line: Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. Clearly I'm missing something. But if I run the same thing from a Linux machine which share t

Copy and paste to and from windows applications seems to be a lot more stable now with the latest patches (thanks). However, I still have the problem that, when I highlight something in an X window, it immediately un-highlights itself. I start XWin from /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat with the fo

Cliff, I can tell you that the warning is like ssh telling you that the sky is blue: it is telling you that a certain feature is not supported by your ssh client. This can be ignored, but search the mailing list archives if you want more information about what the message means. Harold Cliff

Hi, I'm still stuck on this despite going through the archives - I can't find a similar problem. On Exceed 6.2, the submenus work if I right-click the mouse. However in XFree86 and Exceed 7.1, they don't. (These are all with fresh installs). I have even tried running the app on Linux but still h

If you want the error message to go away, play with the xauth command on your Windows box. # xauth -v list This will tell you your local Xauthority file and what it contains. If it's not there, or if it's empty, try to play with "xauth generate" to get it to contain something like localhost:0

Setup Hangs in XFree86-bin-icons.sh

2003-10-13 Thread L. D. Marks
This is probably something that you already know, but in case you don't there are some problems in XFree86-bin-icons.sh. On my XP, it hangs. I went through various permutations, e.g. deleting the scripts from /etc/postinstall, /etc/preremove and /usr/X11R6/bin and reinstalling stuff without finding

Greg, I think you need to either attempt to connect from another Windows machine to the same linux box with XDMCP, or you need to attempt to connect to another remote linux machine using XDMCP from the same Windows box. You need to prove to yourself that the problem is on one end or the other

Laurence, This is a generic Cygwin problem, not related to XFree86. The problem is that cygpath hangs when called from a shell launched by setup.exe. This problem has been reported many times before. It started happening about a month or two ago. For a more detailed description, see my post
