OK.... I figured out the issue. Inside .bashrc (in the Linux remote machine), I was executing xrdb every time I was logging in, but I only meant it to execute it when requesting xterm. So, I included the following lines in .bashrc, and everything works.
Thank you berndbausch! You were spot on! I didn't realize that xrdb was the cause of my issue, and I solved the problem as you suggested. if [[ -n $DISPLAY ]] then /usr/bin/xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults fi On Sat, Jan 16, 2021 at 4:23 PM Hans-Bernhard Bröker <hbbroe...@t-online.de> wrote: > Am 16.01.2021 um 05:40 schrieb Marco Atzeri via Cygwin: > > > > > It seems the remote machine is expecting to run a X interface > > by default. > > Or could it be that the local machine has ssh X11 forwarding turned on > (for this remote machine)?
