Remember > that we use roaming profiles here. Yes, I think that the fact it's a network drive is the significant difference. But the failure seems utterly crazy. xauth is used to write a file, and then moments later another instance of xauth claims it doesn't exist. I've no idea if this is a problem with xauth, cygwin or your networked file system. Do you know what kind of device the network share is on? There was another report of some problems with xauth and network file system (see the thread starting at [1]), but the symptoms seem very different. Nevertheless you might like to try with xauth -i to see if the behaviour is any different. Possible workarounds: You could edit /usr/bin/startxwin to change 'enable_xauth' to 0, or set the XAUTHORITY env var to a local path [1] https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-03/msg00398.html -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
