Re: Windowmaker not open bash properly


Scott Mohnkern wrote:
I had Cygwin with Windowmaker running just beautifully, then another application came in and installed another xserver (which I've since disabled) but now inside windowmaker, whenever I try to open up an Xterm window the window opens but I get no bash prompt.

I can type an ls and get a file listing, and a ps gives me processes.

However whenever I try to ssh -Y to another machine, it tells me

"Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal."


Anyone ever seen this before, and a solution?


I'd suggest reading the problem reporting guidelines outlined at the link
below:

Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html

You've given us some information about how the problem manifests itself but it would be helpful to know what other Xserver you installed as well as basic boot-strap information (i.e. cygcheck output - *attached* not included/inlined).
