I installed cygwins X Server to be able to X forward on Windows 10 as explained here. Now the installation completed and it finished without problems, but when I try to start the XWin Server as explained on the offical site a window opens shortly but immediately closes again. I tried to use the command C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe --quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "cd; exec /usr/bin/startxwin"
instead of using the shortcut but the same thing happens. A window opens briefly but no output in the console.
Starting a cygwin terminal and running /usr/bin/startxwin
returns:
xinit: unable to run server "/usr/bin/XWin": No such file or directory
Use the -- option, or make sure that /usr/bin is in your path and
that "/usr/bin/XWin" is a program or a link to the right type of server
for your display. Possible server names include:
XWin X Server for the Cygwin environment on Microsoft Windows
Xvfb Virtual frame buffer
Xfake kdrive-based virtual frame buffer
Xnest X server nested in a window on another X server
Xephyr kdrive-based nested X server
Xvnc X server accessed over VNC's RFB protocol
Xdmx Distributed Multi-head X server
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error
I only found this issue https://github.com/babun/babun/issues/222, but it talks about some .babun folder which I don't even have so it looks like that doesn't apply to my problem. Shouldn't XWin be already installed when installing the different X packages? How can I get it?
No errors at all that's the thing, not even in the console. – Hakaishin – 2019-03-19T19:01:16.220
what's happen if you run startxwin from bash session ? Logs are on
/var/log/xwin

xorg-server
package? – DavidPostill – 2019-03-19T21:17:35.983
