I needed to upgrade gs to gs 9.15, so I ran setup yesterday. It wanted to update a whole bunch of stuff, including X. OK, fine, I hadn't updated cygwin in quite a while, and I had other stuff to do.
After the upgrade, I can't display remote xterms. OK, my old X shortcut didn't work, but I found "XWin Server" and pinned it to my task bar. I launch that and I have the X server running, and a local xterm pops up. I ssh into my linux server, and run my xterm, and get "can't open display". I did these steps.
- turned off my Windows Firewall (I am on a safe, local network).
- launched XWin Server.
In the xterm that popped up:
dcw@dcwdt02 ~
$ xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
dcw@dcwdt02 ~
$ ssh centos6
Last login: Wed Dec 10 16:31:16 2014 from dcwdt02
centos6% setenv DISPLAY 10.11.22.33:0.0 # I use tcsh
centos6% xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 10.11.22.33:0.0
centos6%
Is there something obvious?
Note: when run xterm with the firewall off, the error is immediate. when I do it when the firewall is on, there is a delay before I get the error.
This was all working on Monday with my older version of cygwin-x, which I think was a 2011 vintage. (I don't upgrade stuff very often for this very reason.)
Attached is my log.
Any help is appreciated. In general, I love cygwin and cygwin-x; it is awesome for a 25-year unix jock like me.
