Re: windows XP : cygwin -X server not opening

Hi Alex

Thanks for digging deep into my resume . I did gave a look at the log
before sending it.  What I vaguely figured out was that the font dir
was causing some problem , after I ran and installed the full
installation of x-lib this was showing and when i reverted back to
default x-lib configuaration was this problem gone.

I hope my post entertained you more I'm very much puzzled how a genius
like you miss on /c/cygwin.. . things.  Even a guy like me who bought
MS know that absolute paths start with /.

Thanks again for your expertise in Cygwin
Avinash

Dear Avinash,
from your CV:
"Senior software engineer with two years of experience on various
platforms like UNIX, .."
Imo - a Senior with amazing two years of experience should be able to
read the messages on his screen, look into a logfile and solve the
problem within 5 minutes maybe while also taking a look into the
documentation.
Thanks for the funny post, it made me laugh a lot.
Ask the people where you bought your master. They may also sell you
the solution to this.

using cadence with xfree?

I am trying to use your xwin program to run Cadence (UNIX based CAD
software) remotely on a WinXP laptop.  I am getting the following error:
*WARNING* Atr: Failed to find 8-plane PseudoColor visual

I searched the internet for a solution.  The solutions that I found say
that this is a common problem, but I cannot employ the solutions
mentioned.
The lowest-color setting for my video card is 16-bit and I can't replace
the video card with an older one.

Is there any solution available?  Thank you.

Two options:

1.  Use the "--depth" parameter of Xwin (see the comments inside
/usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh, it only works with --fullscreen).

2.  Don't use XWindows use VNC.

Cygwin XDMCP suddenly stopped working

For some months now I've been using Cygwin/X on two different Windows XP 
computers to connect to an Ubuntu machine via XDMCP, and have had no 
problems.  Now, seemingly out of the blue, the connection procedure has 
suddenly stopped working on one of the Windows computers.  I say 'out of 
the blue' because I have not touched any cygwin files for months.  The 
only things that I have done on the 'unsuccessful' computer between the 
time when it was working and not working is:
a) Installed and promptly uninstalled JabberD 1.4.2. 
b) Installed ejabberd 0.7.5.  (Disabling or uninstalling ejabberd had no 
effect.)
c) Installed Gaim 2.0.0 beta 3 (no gtk).  (Gaim 2.0 beta 2 was 
previously installed.)

I have no idea how any of these actions would affect Cygwin, but then 
again I don't really know much, period, so I thought I'd mention them.

Following is the Cygwin/X log file from the unsuccessful WinXP computer, 
split into two parts.  The first appears in the log files of both the 
successful and unsuccessful WinXP computers -- in fact, it constitutes 
the entirety of the successful log file.  The second part is the 
remainder of the unsuccessful log file, and appears only in that log.

Does anyone have any clues about what might have gone wrong???
Thanks.

------FIRST PART (common to both successful and unsuccessful log 
files)------

Fwd: Can't launch X-windows from domain power user account

Hello,

I installed Cygwin & Cygwin/X as an administrator; it is a local account
on a Windows XP machine.  It runs fine when I'm logged on as
administrator.  I doesn't work when I run startxwin.bat as a power
user (a domain user accuont).  Cygwin was installed for all users, and
everything else seems to work for all uasers..I get the following error:

    A fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit.
    Please open /tmp/XWin.log for more information.

    Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
    Release: 6.8.2.0-4
    Contact: cygwin-xfree <at> cygwin.com
    XWin was started with the following comand-line:
    /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error

I noticed that /tmp was owned by the administrator, so I made it
read-write-executable by all.  This didn't help.  I've included
/tmp/XWin.log below.  Thanks for any suggestions.

Fred

RE: Can't launch X-windows from domain power user account

Have you tried using startxwin.sh from the Cygwin command line?
---
What you said about the privileges, you mentioned /usr/tmp.  That is just a
temporary files dir.  Instead you want to make the cygwin install dir
accessible to all users, so you should:
* Right click on on cygwin folder, hit properties
* Security > Add
* Select Everything in the list and hit add
* Hit OK twice.  If any dialogs appear, just hit OK.

connect 192.41.11.39 port 6000: Connection refused

Hello,
Have downloaded cygwin with X and have succesfuuly
connected to RH AS 4 using XDMCP -great!
Cannot seem to bring up an xterm tho.

$ ssh -Y -l root 192.41.11.50
root <at> 192.41.11.50's password:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data
for X11 forwarding.
Last login: Tue Jun  6 10:46:07 2006 from laptop
[root <at> NAS ~]# echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0
[root <at> NAS ~]# xterm
connect 192.41.11.39 port 6000: Connection refused
X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill
or server shutdown).
[root <at> NAS ~]#
A netstat on my XP laptop, from where I am running
cygwin, reveals that it is not listening on port 6000.
Also I did wonder if I should do an xhost + in the
cygwin window but I cant:
$ xhost +
xhost:  unable to open display "192.41.11.39:0.0"

Where I am going wrong?

TIA

Ton

X root window resize problem

I don't know if anyone has reported this yet, however, I noticed that
when I start X at 1280x768, then switch to my off-laptop monitor that's
set to 1280x1024, X doesn't seem to want to display xterm terminal
output outside the 1024x768 range.  I know that if I restart X at this
larger window size, everything works fine, but it's really annoying to
have to do this.  I'm running Cygwin-X dated 2004/03/25, though I know I
downloaded it about 5 months ago.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this so I don't have to
restart X every time I increase my display resolution from initial
startup?

RE: Can't launch X-windows from domain power

I would like to keep the permissions for the nonadministrator
restricted.  However, I used "find... | xargs chmod ..." to mirror the
"group" permissions to "other".  After that, startxwin.bat and
startxwin.sh work if I remove /tmp/.X11-unix and /tmp/XWin.log, which
were left behind from running X-windows from the administrator
account.  Note that startxwin.{sh,bat} did not work on the first try.
It took a few repeated tries.  Possibly because files were created in
the 1st few tries.  Maybe the presence of those hypothesized files
placated some error-trapping code.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Fred

Cygwin's RUN command and Windows Vista Beta 2

The RUN commands that comes with Cygwin-X
(\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe) has a problem on Windows Vista Beta 2.

When I tried running Xwin.exe and ssh.exe using that RUN command on
Vista, it caused a blue-screen crash of the OS.

Changing my scripts to use the Windows command-shell START Command
instead of the run command stopped the crash from happening, but of
course doesn't create the window "hidden".

I'd guess there is some parameter being passed to CreateProcess that
didn't used to matter on XP, but now matters to Vista, and is set wrong.
