Re: xauth misses security extension
I am having a similar issue. My XWin.log file has this:
----------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the XWin X Server
Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
Release: 1.5.3.0 (10503000)
Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com
XWin was started with the following command line:
/usr/bin/XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error
ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens
winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1680 h 1050
winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning
Fatal server error:
Can't read lock file /tmp/.X0-lock
winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress
----------------------------------------------------------
There is no /tmp/.X0-lock file in the directory. I even started with
a brand-new installation of cygwin.
When I run the suggested xauth command, there are no issues.
Any suggestions?
