From fhouston@usa.net Fri Apr 4 13:44:00 2008 From: fhouston@usa.net (FH) Date: Fri, 04 Apr 2008 13:44:00 -0000 Subject: I'm having a weird problem w/ cygwin not working on some machines... Message-ID: <327mDDNrG6150S18.1207316672@cmsweb18.cms.usa.net> Is this list still active? I've been on it just a couple days and haven't seen any traffic yet so I was just curious if people are still around or if I just hit a lull ;) Anyway, I'm new to cygwin[1] but I have several users I support who use it a lot. Recently we've started running into an unusual problem in the sense that the X server seems to have stopped working, at least w/ some machines. What I mean is everything starts up ok on the windows machine and when you login to some unix machines it works fine; login, set up the display variables, type xterm and the window open. However on other machines you can go through the same process and the xterm (or any other app/window) never shows up on the windows machine. There's no error messages, nothing in the log files and from what traffic I've seen (it's running over ssh so I can only see whether traffic exists) it seems ok (on the machines it doesn't work on there's a short of amount of traffic and then it stops, so whatever is going on seems to be a hard error and not a situation where one machine or the other is not responding/resending the packets). So far the only commonality between the machines it is not working on seems to be they are running a 2.6.18 kernel (and I've tried both RH and debian), the machines it is working on are usually 2.6.9. Once, I think, we were able to get it to work on a 2.6.18 machine by completely turning off iptables, however I'm not sure if that's relevant or not because we have never been able to replicate it (so maybe something else changed, or maybe we were trying so many different setups that the person I was working w/ wasn't actually logged into the machine they said they were ;)). Since I've been testing it completely on my own I have never gotten it to work w/ a 2.6.18 machine (iptables or not), and it has never failed on a 2.6.9 machine. Unfortunately, looking around the net has proven futile, in part because finding the right search terms to match the situation we are seeing has been difficult. Without error messages there's been nothing to go on. So my first question is is there a way to get better logging or a better sense of what's going on from either the unix or windows machine? The few items on the net I have found talk about making sure XForwarding is on in the sshd_config file (which it is). Using -Y instead of -X when logging in w/ ssh (which doesn't seem to have any effect). Whether or not X is properly installed on the unix machine in the first place (which it seems to be since the same users can login to the console and everything works fine). The machine I'm running my tests on is a more or less fresh install of WinXP (I was using it previously for testing web calendars/palm syncing so anything installed for that shouldn't have an effect on this) w/ a fresh install of cygwin (installed a little over a week ago from the network using the install all option). There's no other firewall or virus scanner installed on the windows machine right now. There is a firewall between the windows machine and the unix machines (the ones it works w/ and the ones it doesn't), but there's no indication in the firewall logs that it is part of the problem. I'm going to try to move the test machine over to the same subnet but that's going to take a little work. If there's any other info people need just let me know and I'll see what I can do for. At this point I'm out of ideas so if any one has any hints/clues/suggestions I'd love to hear them. Thanks [1] Also, to be completely honest I'm not much of an X person in general. The unix machines I use are usually servers and I'm usually able to get by using ssh/cli only to do what I need to do ;) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/ From sylvainr@netcourrier.com Mon Apr 7 07:39:00 2008 From: sylvainr@netcourrier.com (Sylvain RICHARD) Date: Mon, 07 Apr 2008 07:39:00 -0000 Subject: I'm having a weird problem w/ cygwin not working on some machines...

Could you elaborate on the "set up the display variables" part? You shouldn't have to do anything as you use ssh. As you said you were not an X person, here is how I would do it. On the windows side, DISPLAY is set by the shell script used to start Xwin (startxwin.sh or startxwin.bat). Then, you get an xterm where DISPLAY is :0.0 (or localhost:0.0 or 127.0.0.1:0.0). From there, ssh -Y user@host will get you to the remote prompt with a twist. Ssh sets up a tunnel *and* sets DISPLAY to something like :10.0 *and* sets up proper authorization. When an X client (an app) runs, it talks to the linux side of the tunnel and everything is sent to the windows X server through the tunnel. If ssh works, you do *not* have to worry about firewall problems. In particular, notice that you *never* set the DISPLAY variable by hand. You *never* use xhost. It just works (TM). And it is secure. My suggestions: - You can check the value of DISPLAY at different steps of the procedure (set | grep DISPLAY) ; - You can add -vv to the ssh command ; - You can use a network sniffer (wireshark/ethereal) ; - You should post your cygcheck results.

I can reproduce it as follows: Create a remote firefox window with two local xterm windows partly covering it. Run twm or vtwm locally as window manager. Don't set NoTitleFocus. Move mouse quickly from first xterm across firefox and into second xterm. First the second xterm gets focus as it should, but then the focus goes back to firefox. I've tried to track this down with xmsgtrace. It appears that cygwin/X is generating EnterNotify events for both the firefox window and the xterm window with the same timestamp. This seems wrong, because the windows have no way to tell which was entered last. Here are the relevant parts of the protocol trace. The whole trace up through the problem is attached.

You seem to indicate that you liked the separate root window -- for that, remove the -multiwindow option. Also, if you want to emulate a 3-button mouse, try the -emulate3buttons option. FWIW, you can pass extra arguments to the X server via startx. For example, to get the above, use "startx :0 -- -emulate3buttons -clipboard". > [snip] > _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root This might be a problem if that socket is not readable/writable by you.

You could start an application (including xterm) which is initially iconified. That would move it out of sight. This should work: xterm -iconic The startxwin.sh script needs _something_ that is holding onto the shell script, to prevent it from exiting. -- Thomas E.

The traditional (i.e. UNIX) server start-up would run a window manager as a foreground task. When the window manager exited, the server shut down. If you use startxwin.bat instead, this uses run.exe to start the server in the background. This leaves the script free to exit, closing the cmd window. You will see the cmd window until the script exits, but this can be useful. If you never want to see the cmd window, you can create a shortcut to the script and set it to start minimized in its property sheet.

The procedure of installing 3.2.4-7 removes the previous 3.2.4-6, so the link app-defaults -> /etc/X11/app-defaults in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ is lost and the new postinstall script (xfig.sh) does not re-create it. This causes a lot of problems because, currently, Cygwin-X has XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults (see startxwin.sh and startxwin.bat).

Puneet, XP needs to be prepared for a Cygwin installation. I've had good success with the following procedure: If a previous installation has failed: * Use regedit or regedt32 to delete the following keys from the Windows registry: HKLM\Software\Cygnus Solutions HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\sshd * Reboot to remove any active Cygwin DLLS from memory * Delete the current Cygwin directory in its entirety Before a new installation: * Create a new Cygwin folder and set its access permissions as follows: Administrators group Full Control SYSTEM Full Control Authenticated Users RWEL <-- for service accounts only * Right-click on the desktop's My Computer icon, select Properties, then click on the Advanced tab and the Environment Variables... box. Edit the system variables PATH to include the new Cygwin directory: PATH=%PATH%;:\\Cygwin;:\path_to\Cygwin\bin * In the same Environment Variables window, Add the following environment variable: CYGWIN NTSEC TTY You can now install Cygwin from the Internet, but it is usually faster to first download everything from a mirror site to \Cygwin\LatestRelease and run setup.exe from there.

I'd be surprised if it did since none of it is necessary. In particular, you don't add an environment variable called "CYGWIN NTSEC TTY" and if you are implying that either of those is necessary, you are wrong. ntsec is the default and tty is not something you turn on unless you know what it does. Installing cygwin is as simple as running setup.exe. The only decision you have to make is what mirror to use. That gets you a minimal installation. Then you can rerun setup.exe to add more packages. If any of the above was actually necessary at any point we would have fixed that by now. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/ From boblatest@googlemail.com Thu Apr 17 07:10:00 2008 From: boblatest@googlemail.com (Robert Latest) Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 07:10:00 -0000 Subject: How to start up X directly, in a startx-like manner?

Can't remember exactly, but, some time ago (>1 year), it happened to me to have problems with Window Maker in a new installation of Cygwin. It seems to me that I was unable to access the WMaker preferences, anyway I solved creating a link or two: try to start Window Maker by hand from a terminal, so to have a look at its output/trace and whether it misses some file/directory. > > Any idea???? > > Any help in making this icon visible is highly appreciated... > > Regards, > Mansoorali. > > -- > Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html > Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ > FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/ > > -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/ From danilo.turina@alcatel-lucent.it Tue Apr 29 15:44:00 2008 From: danilo.turina@alcatel-lucent.it (Danilo Turina) Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:44:00 -0000 Subject: Issue after installing cygwin In-Reply-To: <1a375f780804290210wf9274b7g7dd21a833efddb6c@mail.gmail.com> References: <1a375f780804290210wf9274b7g7dd21a833efddb6c@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <1209483823.540178@slbhw0> Mansoorali Kudsi wrote: > Hello, > > I have been using cygwin since long. > Recently I was trying to help my friend install cygwin on his desktop. > > After a successful installation, the startxwin.bat was run to start > the workspaces. > > However, after starting the workspaces, the green coloured "Window > Maker Preferences" icon does not appear in the workspaces. > The same setup was used to install cygwin on my machine and I could > use the "Window Maker Preferences" to configure my shortcuts. > But somehow this does not appear on my friends desktop. > > Any idea???? > > Any help in making this icon visible is highly appreciated...

Message-ID: Hello, I'm having trouble getting XWin to run, I've copied the default /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to ~/.xinitrc but when I run xinit the window hangs and I have to kill the processes. When I look at the applications tab in task manager I see the Cygwin/X 0:0 running, then another one appears and they both change to not responding. In the processes tab I can see processes for xkbcomp.exe, xinit.exe and XWin.exe. I've also added C:\cygwin\bin;C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin to my path environment variable. I'm running Norton 360 and have allowed XWin. I've also tried uninstalling Norton 360, same problem. I've tired a re-install of Cygwin and that doesn't work either. I have a dual monitor display, 1920 x 1200 and 1280 x 1024 extended desktop, so I tried disabling one of the monitors but no luck. I can't think of what else to try, I've run XWin before without any problems but that was a while ago. The machine I'm using is a fresh install of Win XP SP2 I've just rebuilt hence installing cygwin again. The machine is a Dell Dimension 8400 P4 3.4 GHz with 3GB RAM and a NVidia Geforce 6800 GT (lastest NVidia drivers) ..... I've also tried to run the default Start X - Server batch file, then in a cygwin shell setting DISPLAY to 127.0.0.1:0 or 127.0.0.1:0.0 and running xclock, X Server is in the system tray and the xclock process is running, but I don't get the clock on the screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks ...... :-) output for xinit of /tmp/XWin.log XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root (II) XF86Config is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shar ed memory support in the kernel (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "00000809" (00000809) (--) Using preset keyboard for "English (United Kingdom)" (809), type "4" Output of xinit Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 6.8.99.901-4 Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com XWin was started with the following command line: X :0 _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root winValidateArgs - g_iNumScreens: 1 iMaxConsecutiveScreen: 1 (II) XF86Config is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information winDetectSupportedEngines - Windows NT/2000/XP winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw installed winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw4 installed winDetectSupportedEngines - Returning, supported engines 00000007 winSetEngine - Using Shadow DirectDraw NonLocking winAdjustVideoModeShadowDDNL - Using Windows display depth of 16 bits per pixel winFinishScreenInitFB - Masks: 0000f800 000007e0 0000001f MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shar ed memory support in the kernel (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "00000809" (00000809) (--) Using preset keyboard for "English (United Kingdom)" (809), type "4" Rules = "xorg" Model = "pc105" Layout = "gb" Variant = "(null)" Options = "(null )" _________________________________________________________________ Play the Andrex Hello Softie Game & win great prizes http://www.thehellosoftiegame.co.uk -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
