Hi all. I just upgraded my Cygwin to the latest version and found a
rather interesting problem:
I can do the following command in the bash window with no problem:
ssh <username>@<server location>
it prompts me for my password and then takes me in from there.
--
However, if I:
startx
ssh -X <username>@server location>
It prompts me for my password and then hangs.
--
If I:
startxwin.bat
ssh -X <username>@server location>
same problem: It prompts me for my password and then hangs.
--
The only way I've successfully made a connection with X forwarding is:
startxwin.bat
Execute putty for windows with X11 forwarding enabled
Enter username and password
And I'm off and running...
Help?????
- Phil
