Hello folks...
I have the latest gnuchess and the latest Xboard installed on my
Linux Mint. I can run gnuchess directly from terminal and have a game
through the ASCII interface... its running completely ok. But when I
give the option to play using xboard invoking it with "gnuchess -x" or
"gnuchess --xboard" it just appears: "Chess Adjusting HashSize to 1024
slots" and a blinking prompt... my Xboard is also perfectly setted, I
can use it to play with FairyMax or connecting to FICS and have a game,
I looked all over GNU help and FAQS and nothing. I would appreciate some
help here if possible....
tnx in advance.

We recommend to use the last version of GNU Chess: 6.0.1. Anyway, v5,07 should work fine with XBoard.
Could you please indicate the exact command that you are using to start XBoard with GNU Chess as chess engine? Could you also indicate the exact version of XBoard?
Thanks for reporting.

The following command starts GNU Chess in engine mode using the xboard protocol, but it will not start the XBoard program itself (the graphical user interface):
gnuchess --xboard
If you want to start XBoard and make it use GNU Chess as chess engine, you have to run this command:
xboard -fcp 'gnuchess --xboard'
The manual of GNU Chess explains it:
