Yeah, well, it's probably not the end-all-be-all solution.  It occured
to me that if the startxwin.sh script got interrupted somehow e.g. due
to forced shutdown, power outage, logoff, or "kill", then it never runs
the command that erases /tmp.X11-unix.

Are you the new maintainer?

Yeah, it may have been some combination of what you suggested and some
additional "magic" on the front end to pick up on those cases.  I'm sure
it's in the email archives somewhere.

Let me check...  Nope! :-)

Subject: Windows HWND and X Clients in multiwindow mode
Message-ID: <bd7fc3b0702010632n799f8de6n219c245535b1d00@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I am trying to write a program, that when running the X Server in
multi-window mode keeps track of the association between the HWND
value that MSWindows assigns to each window that is created, and the X
Client that owns that window.

Finding X Client that owns an X Window is quite simple, but I couldn't
manage to then go a step further and find anything that binds the X
Window to the MS Window.

I tried using the devPrivates of the _Window struct, by using the
winGetWindowPriv() macro.  This gives a winPrivWinPtr variable,
pointing to a struct which has, as one of its elements, an HWND
variable.  I thought it should provide the link, but in actual fact it
did not as the HWND element was always 0 (zero). I also tried
modifying the code of the X Server and recompiled it to see if it
works there,  but the same thing happened.

So now I ask, what is it that I am missing out? I am sure it can be
done, as the X Server must be doing it somewhere, but where? and how?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

AJ Caruana

My apologies,

I was checking the value of the HWND in the window privates too early.
I was checking it before the server calls the MapWindow() function,
which is the function which calls some other functions that in the end
call the actual CreateWindowEx() of MS Windows.  The CreateWindow()
function of Xlib (and all the functions that it calls) do not create
the HWND, so here I answered my own question. Thanks anyway.

Subject: Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a  terminal.
Message-ID: <8755449.post@talk.nabble.com>


I just installed cygwin/X.    My system is:

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 AGAINSTSTONE-LX 1.5.24(0.156/4/2) 2007-01-31 10:57 i686 Cygwin


I start the X server using the included startxwin.bat file.  In the xterm
window this is what I got
$ ssh destination.host
Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.
...

ssh asks me for password but as I type the password echoes into the terminal
window!  I assume this is related to the warning message about not being
able to allocate Pseudo terminal.  But why?  Why is my stdin not a terminal? 
Anybody has a clue?

Thanks,
Peter

Yep.  You have a non-cygwin tool in there somewhere (ssh, maybe?) which doesn't
understand cygwin's ptys.

Indeed!  It turns out I was using c:\WINDOWS\System32\ssh.exe, which I have
no idea how it got there...  I installed openssh and the problem was fixed. 
Thanks!

Just out of curiosity, how does a program check if stdin is a "terminal"? 
My xterm looks like a terminal to me but apparently the windows version of
ssh.exe couldn't figure that out...

Windows doesn't know what a "terminal" is.  Cygwin invents its own concept
but only Cygwin programs are aware of this.

In the POSIX API there is a function that takes a file descriptor and
returns true if that descriptor is associated with a "terminal", false
otherwise.  The effective definition of "terminal" is therefore
"something that causes that function to return true".  :)

Xterms running under Cygwin are designed to do whatever it is that
makes the Cygwin version of the function return true, but non-Cygwin
programs have their own idea (perhaps based on a Windows POSIX layer
version of the same function, perhaps not), and apparently
Cygwin/xterm doesn't pass muster.  More than likely the only thing
that looks like a "terminal" to the Windows ssh client is a command
prompt console window (do they still call those "DOS boxes"?).

Message-ID: <45C43C7B.4020303@ece.utexas.edu>

(patch below)

Small nuisance... The 64-bit vista uses the path name:
	C:\Program Files (x86)\
for 32-bit apps, and some packages will be installed there by default.
Hence, many cygwin users may have C:\Program Files (x86)\<blah> in their
PATH environment variable.  The parenthesis breaks 00xorg-x11-base.csh

Adding an extra set of quotes on one line fixes the problem.

Subject: Cygwin/X + Solaris = no function keys
Message-ID: <45C7462F.4040200@ece.cmu.edu>

Hi,

I use the latest version of cygwin/X (updated yesterday) to connect to a 
Solaris 10 box. Certain keys like page up and page down don't work for 
any programs besides xemacs, but when I run SunStudio 11 (a Java app) I 
lose everyting except alphanumerics and punctuation. This makes it 
virtually impossible to use the program.

I've narrowed the problem down to trusted X connections: given hosts 
cygwin.box and solaris.box, the bug appears if you use a direct connection:
> cygwin.box $ xhost solaris.box
> solaris.box $ DISPLAY=cygwin.box:0.0 sunstudio &
or a trusted X connection over ssh:
> cygwin.box $ ssh -fY solaris.box sunstudio
Using an untrusted connection instead fixes the problem, but I give up 
all clipboard integration (which requires -Y):
> cygwin.box $ ssh -fX solaris.box sunstudio
*sigh* at least trying to use the clipboard in Java doesn't make it 
crash with a "BadAtom" error like all the x-apps do. Has anyone else 
seen this issue? It seems similar to a couple of messages about eclipse 
from April 2005, but those had no resolution.

Thanks,
Ryan Johnson

There are definitely some Java apps that lose a lot of
keyboard functionality -- for example, tab and backspace
-- when the NumLock key is on.

hi, I'm new with cygwin.
I've mainly installed it to connect to a linux server running GUI applications.
In fact, I've read that with X11 forwarding (ssh -X) I can run remote
applications and display the GUI on my pc running cygwin.

Unfortunately I get errors like "can't open display". Does anybody know what do
I have to setup before? (i guess start X11 server on my local pc)

thank you in advance

Your guess is right.
You have to start a local X11 server (startx). And set DISPLAY before you start ssh. Also remember that some applications need ssh -Y.

You also may need to use xhost to add the remote machine to
the access control list on your local machine; for example,
in your Cygwin shell:

    /usr/X11R6/bin/xhost +<linux_machine_name>

Some applications also don't seem to work with ssh -X or
ssh -Y. For those apps, you may need to explicitly export
the remote machine display to your local machine; for
example, from your Linux box:

    export DISPLAY=<cygwin_machine_name>:0.0

No you don't have to, if you use ssh to tunnel the X11 connection. (It would be localhost anyway and not the linux_machine_name). Try to understand the difference between tunneling and a remote connection.

guys, thank you for the answers.
This game is very cool. I got amazed! It works great!
As far as I understand, with X11 tunneling I've an encrypted connection, whilst
with remote connection I don't.
Besides, I can easily pass through several machines in one shot (my pc ssh
server1 that ssh server2 and finally get back the GUI to my pc)
But what from the speed point of view? Too many encrypting steps?
Other advantages in respect of remote connection / vnc ?

Cheers,
Marco

That is right.

The encryption doesn't matter. It is the latency of your connection that matters (ping time), because the X proctocol isn't very efficient. 
You could add compression to the ssh connection if your bandwidth is low (-C), but that would also increase latency. 
To reduce the X11 overhead you can use lbxproxy or the nxserver if these exist on the remote Unix/Linux installation.

Setting DISPLAY is not necessary with 'ssh -X' or 'ssh -Y'.  More than that,
setting DISPLAY will likely cause the X forwarding to not work as expected.
For more info, read the "X11 FORWARDING" section of the 'ssh' man page.

Hi, Holger,

I understand what you're saying. All I know is that for some
applications, like Emacs and Arbortext Epic, it seems I have
to explicitly add the remote machine to my local X access list
for the applications to display on my local machine. Moreover,
for Epic to work, I have to explicitly set the DISPLAY variable
on the remote machine. Dunno. It works for me, but YMMV.

If you do this, you are not using the forwarding mechanism of ssh.

Message-ID: <20070208043220.10350.qmail@hm317.locaweb.com.br>

hi there,
I'm trying to install cygwin (actually Cygwin/X), I downloaded the latested cygwin installer, and I'm trying to install X11 packages, some files are installed but some files are surelly missing (for instance, I select to install X-startup-scripts-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2, but after the installation I still don't have a /usr/X11R6/bin directory)... well, I decided to download the packages locallly and open them to see if something was wrong, and I found that in the file xorg-x11-bin-6.8.99.901-1.tar.bz2, there is an entry called X.exe with 0 bytes... actually I think this is a symbolic link because when I try to extract it, I get an error like this:
 
!   C:\cyginstall\http%3a%2f%2fmirror.anl.gov%2fpub%2fcygwin%2f\release\X11\xorg-x11-bin\xorg-x11-bin-6.8.99.901-1.tar.bz2: Cannot open XWin.exe (usr\X11R6\bin\X.exe --> XWin.exe)

any idea of what's wrong?
 
best regards,
Fabio.

There is another option: set up an LBX connection. This requires a process
(called LBX) that runs on the machine running the normal X server; you then
connect your clients to LBX.

LBX is "Low Bandwidth X" and is a protocol-specific compression algorithm which
works reasonably well. It may help to use normal compress on the result, but I
doubt it.

The downside is there is no automatic method of setting it up, unlike for ssh
-X

Ruth

It's not a matter of porting per se.  You can use x.org R7 with Cygwin
right now, through Cygwin Ports.  (But that's of course a separate
project so use its mailing list for problems.)  The issue is that Cygwin
currently lacks an X11 maintainer to handle the packaging.  If I recall
correctly Yaakov offered to contribute his R7 packages to the Cygwin
distro, but there was some other divergence between the two distros that
caused it to be problematic.  Or maybe it was that there was still some
lingering problem with the R7 server that he couldn't get working.  I
don't recall, but you can find the details in the cygwin-apps mailing
list archive.

I believe it was the latter - there was something not working which
required debugging and that never materialized.

Yes, the low bandwith extension does help. The nx proxy from nomachine.com is working on the same principle and more efficient (including image caching).

It was the latter.  I have been unable to get a working xorg-server with
both 7.0 and 7.1.  The client side works wonderfully, and can be used
either with the 6.8 Xwin or 6.9 Xming.

I haven't yet fully updated Ports' X11 to 7.2 for lack of time, although
I don't expect a change in this regard.

Please search the archives of cygwin-apps and cygwin-xfree for details.

Hi,

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but is OpenGL
working in the Cygwin/X Server??

I found the features page ( http://x.cygwin.com/features.html ) which
says that the Mesa 3D Graphics Library provides software-based OpenGL
support, but one item of the To-Do list (
http://x.cygwin.com/devel/todo.html ) states that Indirect OpenGL
rendering still needs to be implemented, while Direct Rendering will
be considered when the Indirect rendering will be finished.  Can
anyone clarify this please?

This means that all OpenGl rendering is done in Software.
Work has been started to use OpenGl hardware acceleration, but it isn't finished. And nobody is working on it, afaik.
Direct/indirect rendering refers to where the server is running, on the same computer than the program that uses OpenGl (direct access to hardware) or with a network between them (indirect access to hardware).

Hi,

I was wondering as to which license applies to the software I downloaded.

I got the source code I am using from Xorg.  More specifically, I
downloaded the xorg-server package from the release site of Xorg.  I
know that Cygwin and Cygwin/X are published under the GNU GPL.  I
also know that the X project, led by the X.org Foundation is published
under the MIT License. Does the XWin part of the source I downloaded
use the GPL license, or the MIT license ?

oh.  Which Cygwin/X source-file has a GPL on it?
(Cygwin of course is GPL, but that's an comment of the source used).

This is probably the wrong place to ask about licenses (google "Cygwin/X 
gpl" for grins.

A lot.
Maybe post the contents of /tmp/XWin.log and which version of Windows you use.

Subject: start gvim in X with Fatal IO error 104
Message-ID: <730860.78351.qm@web15603.mail.cnb.yahoo.com>

Dear all:
Does anyone know how to start gvim in cygwin/X?
Each time I start gvim, the GUI flashes and get closed
with error "gvim: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset
by peer) on X server 127.0.0.1:0.0".
Since the emacs can start and work in X11, I guess the
X is installed correctly. Is it a bug of gvim? (The
installed vim version is 7.0.122-1, gvim is
7.0.035-2,X is 6.8.99.901-44)
Any suggestion is appreciated!

Message-ID: <9031146.post@talk.nabble.com>


I have recently switched my development-tool from VisualStudio to Eclipse
using cygwin as C++ environment. Everything works fine on my PC, where I
have installed cygwin, but on my customers computer I get the Errormessage
"Terminal not found: cygwin" when I try to start the application.
Is there a way to avoid installing cygwin and still run the application?

Perhaps it's looking for the terminal description named "cygwin".
That's independent of whether he's installed cygwin, since it's
part of ncurses...

I worked on this for a long time since trying vista and here's my solution
CYGWIN=title server itty binmode glob tty

I believe that some arrangement of CYGWIN args cause troubles, but I can't
verify which, and I also believe I had ntsec in there before.
It would run for a while, althouhg process explorer would show 9-10 thousand
context switches per second for XWin.exe, then eventually it would go to
XWin.exe running full blast an unresponsive until I killed it.

Hope it helps,

'binmode' and 'glob' are on by default so you don't need to set these.  The
same is true for 'ntsec'.  There is no 'itty' option for CYGWIN.

Subject: Display flickers when X server started up
Message-ID: <loom.20070223T234437-578@post.gmane.org>

I've just installed Cygwin-X using the Cygwin setup program.  When I start up 
the server using startxwin.bat or startx (with -multiwindow option), my whole 
display flickers (not just the xterm window).  It continues to do this until I 
shut down the X server.

This is a new Dell widescreen monitor.  The only refresh rate it will allow is 
60 hertz.

I've pasted the contents of the log below.  Any suggestions would be greatly 
appreciated.

Subject: X forwarding
Message-ID: <9129611.post@talk.nabble.com>


I've been using XWinLogon to do X forwarding over SSH, to give a
gnome-session on WinXP. That all worked fine, with a startup script of:

SET PATH=c:\Program Files\xwinlogon SET DISPLAY=:0 start XWin_GL.exe :0
-clipboard -trayicon -bs -keyhook -nowinkill -nodecoration start xterm -e
/usr/X11R6/bin/ssh -Y username@hostname gnome-session

I uninstalled that and put Cygwin on, and haven't been able to get it to
work. I've tried various ways of starting X, but I'll just begin with one
way, to keep this post short! If I run startxwin.bat, I get a run.exe
dialogue box:

Error: could not start d:\cygwin\bin\xterm.exe'' -e /usr/bin/bash -l

I took that line out of the script, so it just started X, and that works.
The system tray icon says 0:0.

In Cywin I then do

ssh -Y username@hostname

and get a command prompt from the Ubuntu server. Running a graphical app (eg
gedit) returns

cannot open display: (null)

There are suggestions online to manually set the display, but as I
understand that's incorrect if you are doing X forwarding.

Any help would be appreciated!

The suggestion meant to set DISPLAY on the client side (Cygwin), you are correct
about not changing it on the server side.

Just do:

export DISPLAY=localhost:0:0
ssh -Y ...

That's got me further, thanks!  Gedit loads and gives a dialogue box:

Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error:

(repeated about 30 times)

Firefox works, but gives (at command line):

Message-ID: <f994b8800702232324i651d22b9r2211fbac77382207@mail.gmail.com>

Greetings.

I made myself a shortcut (though I get the same behavior no matter how
I start X) to run X by executing:

C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe -p /usr/X11R6/bin Xwin -multiwindow

X starts up fine and seems to run fine.  When I right click on the X
icon in the system tray, however, and select exit, it does not exit
and CPU usage goes to 100% (50% on my x2 processor).  I am running
Vista Ultimate on an AMD 64 x2 5600+, and have experienced this same
problem on another machine also running Vista Ultimate and using an
AMD 64 x2 3200+.

I have tried to rebase, but the problem persists.

Any thoughts?  I can of course provide whatever further details may be required.

That works without -multiwindow.  When I add -multiwindow back it
continues to happen.

Subject: Xwin.exe freezes after login (XDMCP)
Message-ID: <45E2BB04.4010809@yahoo.fr>

Hello,

I installed a Cygwin that is able to connect through XDMCP to a linux 
Ubuntu server that runs KDE. I have several thin clients running 
Thinstation that work well with it, but on my personnal machine (Mac 
mini running Windows 2003 with disabled built-in firewall), when I run 
Xwin.exe, I can log on, see my desktop and apps opening, but after a few 
seconds, my Xwin window freezes and Windows tells me it's not 
responding. When I CTRL+C my Shell Cygwin application, the window closes.

Here's my log :
$ cat /tmp/Xwin.log

To clarify what I mean by "flickers", I mean that horizontal ripples appear 
across the screen, traveling upward.

Subject: startxwin.sh doesn't start, getting "could not open default font  'fixed'" error
Message-ID: <es297t$buv$1@sea.gmane.org>

I searched but I didn't see an answer to this problem.  I am running 
Cygwin on Windows XP.   When I attempt to run startxwin.sh, I am getting 
an error that says "could not open default font 'fixed' ".

Reading the User's Guide and checking out similar posting.  I see that I 
am supposed to umount my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts directory.  However, 
my directory isn't a link, there is nothing to un-mount, it is a 
physical directory.  What am I missing here?

thanks,

Jerome

Yes, that is where I got the "umount /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts" command 
from.
However I get the following error when I attempt to un-mount the directory:

$ umount /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
umount: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts: No such file or directory

cygcheck -s -v -r output attached might be helpful.

It would be nice to know which X packages you have installed and what
your mount points look like.

Hi Jason,

I've included the output from the cygcheck -s -v -r command I ran.   I 
guess I am still missing something what mount points are you looking 
for.  The /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts is a physical directory, there is no 
symbolic link involved.  There are symbolic links to other directories, 
but not to fonts.

thanks,

Jerome

Dear All,

I am using Cygwin for a short time so I apologise in advance if my question 
is a simple one. I have my .bashrc file set to my Unix, where checks are 
made whether it is my Unix terminal that is running or the cygwin one. When 
I request a new xterm, despite having the following command to set the term 
to xterm eval `/usr/bin/tset -s ?xterm` I get Unknow type:uxterm. Also, 
sometimes it brings up commands that are not in my .bashrc file.

Could you please let me know why this is happening or what it might be 
related to?

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks in advance.

Christos
