User tried to run ANSYS on a Solaris server using sygwin + ssh from a PC.
The GUI could not start because it was receiving the following error.
--------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR MESSAGE RECEIVED:
00204534 VERSION=SUN-USIII RELEASE= 10.0A1 UP20060105
CURRENT JOBNAME=file 13:31:15 SEP 21, 2006 CP= 1.220


/SHOW SET WITH DRIVER NAME= X11 , RASTER MODE, GRAPHIC PLANES = 8

RUN SETUP PROCEDURE FROM FILE= /u10/ansys_inc/v100/ansys/apdl/start100.ans
X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty)
Atom id in failed request: 0xf1
Serial number of failed request: 13
Current serial number in output stream: 16

What is the cause of this error?


Using "trusted" X11 forwarding (ssh -Y) appears to fix the problem.
The ForwardX11Trusted=yes directive may be specified in ~/.ssh/config as an alternative to specifying the -Y flag on the command line.

Try ForwardX11Trusted=yes in your config or adding -Y to the ssh cmd line (see man ssh_config /ForwardX11Trusted and its implications)
