FAQ

  • How does this work with a router? DukeEgr93 16:50, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
    • See the main PuTTY page, specifically with respect to setting up tunneling. Even if you are on a router, the tunneling will take care of getting the information to the right machine. DukeEgr93 21:42, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
  • What does PuTTY stand for? DukeEgr93 18:20, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
    • No idea. Apparently, it may not mean anything...[1] DukeEgr93 18:21, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
  • I keep getting a "QApplication::notify: Unexpected null receiver" message whenever I type the "kdvi lab1.dvi" command, which then allows me to type, yet none of the commands (besides "Ctrl C") will work. Thus, I am going back and forth, looking at what the previous command did, then having to exit out of the viewing window to run another code. To view again, I have to rerun the kdvi command. Is there something else I can do so that I don't have to go back and forth? Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rebsterjcfreak (talkcontribs)
    • First, make sure you have the & after the kdvi lab1.dvi part so you still have control over the terminal. Second, with respect to the null receiver issue - that will happen on occasion. Just wait a bit for it to go away and the kdvi window will come up. If you made sure to add the & to it, you can now re-run latex lab1.tex and, when done processing, the kdvi window will update as well. DukeEgr93 15:26, 30 August 2008 (EDT)
  • I keep having PuTTY crash with a 'PuTTY Fatal Error' - 'Network Error: Software caused connection abort' whenever I run matlab. The program starts up fine and is slow but usable until it crashes. Any idea what is wrong? Nag9 10:32, 7 September 2009 (EDT)nag9
  • I am receiving the locking authority file error: 'Could not chdir to home directory /afs/acpub/users/d/m/dmm44: Connection timed out' '/usr/bin/xauth: error in locking authority file /afs/acpub/users/d/m/dmm44/.Xauthority' but when I try the 'cd' 'rm -i .Xauth*' solution, I receive the following: 'cd: Can't change to home directory.' I have tried connecting to different machines, resetting my internet connection, restarting PuTTY, X-Win, and my computer, all with no effect. What's the problem?dmm44 4:33, 8 November 2009 (EDT)
