The following questions seem to be the most frequently asked questions on the Microwindows mail list. But for some reason they have never made it into the official Microwindows FAQ. The nano-X server gives me an error "Cannot bind to named socket". Why? One thing that will cause this error error is the inability to create (or delete) the named socket "/tmp/.nano-X". You may have problems with this if one user creates the socket and then nano-X subsequently crashes if you try to run nano-X from another userid you will get this error. Delete the named socket "/tmp/.nano-X" if it exists, otherwise verify that the userid that is attempting to run nano-X has write permissions to the /tmp directory. How can I get the latest source code from the Microwindows CVS server?
To login to the Microwindows CVS server type:
To check out a copy of the sources type: Can I search the mail list archives? Yes you can search through the Microwindows mail list archives. When you make a search add the text "NANOGUI" to filter out other projects hosted on the Linux Hacker server.
