FAQ 3.4. Fatal server error: Can't read lock file /tmp/.X0-lock
I just installed cygwin for the first time (newbie) on a XP-SP3 laptop to gain access to my Linux systems. Install was straight forward but I ran into this error as noted in the FAQ file upon launching X (Start menu or command line)
I tried the possible workarounds:
1. rm -rf /tmp; mkdir /tmp ; chmod 1777 /tmp
Which did not work for me but
2. startx -- -nolock
did work for me. I can try some things if someone needs a "broken
system" to diagnose.
