I went through this cycle several times before I decided the time investment on my part demanded a Plan B. I still use the Cygwin X server on my XP ThinkPad, but have not regretted moving to Xming on my Vista ThinkPad.Chip Overclockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11195242013008369733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28344720.post-66315574136873094382008-11-06T09:29:00.000-07:002008-11-06T09:29:00.000-07:00I have the same problem and rebaseall works fine.H...I have the same problem and rebaseall works fine.<BR/><BR/>Here's how:<BR/><BR/>First, in cygwin, type:<BR/>$which rebaseall<BR/><BR/>Find the path that you installed rebaseall, mine is /usr/bin/<BR/><BR/>Second, quit cygwin and Start/Run/Cmd, goto you cygwin install path cygwin/bin/<BR/><BR/>Third, type:<BR/>ash -c /usr/bin/rebaseall<BR/><BR/>wait sometime.<BR/><BR/>Finally, open cygwin and Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06915367682388792933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28344720.post-77548837992398380412008-10-03T16:13:00.000-06:002008-10-03T16:13:00.000-06:00I was just about thinking really to leave vista an...I was just about thinking really to leave vista and windows for good, since after all I can have most of it - and specially must better X tools - under linux... but a miracle Happenned.

I thought it wasn't running (and it's icon was hidden on the toolbar) because xterms etc. on my Linux systems weren't coming up.
