Your swap file (check by typing free - need fstab entry and format it).ĥ): Alt-TAB back to Cygwin and ping -n 1 - look at your firewallĭisplay (I use Sunbelt Kerio with it's wonderfull packet display) to get your IP address.
#COLINUX SAMBA INSTALL#
Xterm must run properly (on WinXP, under Cygwin, without coLinux).Ģ): Install coLinux - you don't need as new a version as I am using )ģ): Start coLinux - get networking to work so you can use apt-get (make sure you activate Getting "xeyes" to run is NOT enough of a test.

It is possible to run multiple x servers, each listening on its own "screen":Īnother person's comment (WinXP & coLinux 0.8.0 & Debian 2.6.17-co-0.8.0):ġ): Install Cygwin with X11 and make sure xterm runs OK on Cygwin (set DISPLAY in Windows environment variable). Note that DISPLAY must be set to the ip address of the computer running the X Server. Once you have a Xserver running in multiple window mode, it's easy to start X clients from a CoLinux terminal: In fact, you don't have to run any window manager at all, since you are just using the native Microsoft Windows facilities.
In multiple window mode, each remote graphical application gets its own window on your desktop, and looks just like any other application you may have started locally.Ī big advantage of multiple window mode is not having to run some resource-intensive window environment like KDE or Gnome (GDM). Multiple window mode provides a more integrated way to view graphical applications running on multiple remote computers along with graphical windows running on the host computer. This gives you one window which shows an entire desktop environment (taskbar, clock, desktop icons, etc). To view a complete graphical desktop on windows, you can start an XServer in single window mode. Single-Window Mode Vs Multiple Window Mode (What applies to Cygwin/X usually applies to Xming, except Xming installation is very simple)Īlso, you will be able to use non-US keyboard now since your X Window server is a Windows application. Contact your vendor for assistance in setting up a commercial X server. Use a X Window server on the Host System As you already brought up your network (which is the tricky part), setting up an X server shouldn't be magic (at least nowadays).
As I had some experience with VNC before, I used that way, but installation of an windows X server shouldn't be hard too. VNC server on coLinux: Run the X VNC server under coLinux and bring the screen output to windows using a Windows VNC client= Native Windows X server: run a X server directly under windows and let the graphical applications use the X network protocol= There are currently two ways of working with X-Windows under coLinux : So you'll need a running network before being able to continue here. The way so far is bringing the screen output to the windows host through the network and let windows display it somehow.
