I've got yet another problem with Cygwin/X @ Win2k SP4, connecting to a Solaris 10 machine running JDS 3.0 (Gnome). As before, I use the following command line to fire up Xwin and connect to XDM: Xwin :0 -xkblayout ch -clipboard -screen 0 1261x941 -fp tcp/winds06.win.ch.da.rtr:7100 -query winds06.win.ch.da.rtr -once (It's just one line, of course... *g*) More or less shortly after having logged on to JDS/S10, the Cygwin X window "freezes". Ie. I cannot move any windows in it anymore and when I move a MS Windows window in front of the Cygwin window, the Cygwin window stays completely white (ie. it does not refresh anymore). Please have a look at http://img162.imagevenue.com/view.php?image=31074_Cygwin_X,_weisses_Fenster,_keine_Reaktion_122_61lo.jpg (or http://kuerzer.de/M7LjjCfJX for a shorter URL) and notice, how the window in the background (the Cygwin window) is all white... When I wait like 5 to 10 minutes, the Cygwin window refreshes again. But I still cannot move anything in it. When I use CDE 1.6 (on the system Solaris 10 box) or when I use Exceed (from a different PC client), I don't have any problems what so ever. I also don't have any problems with XKB (see thread "Keyboard does not work with JDS 3.0 (Gnome @ Solaris 10)"). What might be causing these problems and what can I do to solve these issues?

I am running Cygwin on Xp. I also run Skype (communication software) that needs to grab a particular port for efficent communication (this allows it to pass through the firewall as an exception!). I had skype set up to use port 6000. When I went in and changed that to a different port, XWin started up with no trouble (with my firewall and virus software running!). So I thinkt he problem is that there could be something that is conflicting with XWin in the network setup. You might want to try that and also make sure that port 6000 has an exception in your firewall settings..!

However I am having difficulty getting the X server to work, and I am writing to ask for suggestions and help. What follows is a description of what I have done, and a copy of an XWin.log file that was produced upon trying to start X. 1. I downloaded and installed cygwin (version 1.5.24-2), using the "install all" option (not the "default" option---but I've tried both, it seems not to matter), as user "peter" with full administrative privileges. The installation seemed to proceed flawlessly. 2. Clicking on the cygwin desktop icon brings up a cygwin window, but does not copy .bashrc, .bash_profile, or .inputrc to my home directory. [However if I log in to a different account on the same (stand-alone) machine, those files DO get copied to the home directory of that user upon the first invocation of cygwin.] 3. Clicking on the X icon (either before or after step 2) will then cause the appearance of a window (xterm?) for a fraction of a second, BUT NOT LONGER. Although XWin is started (along with xinit), it is non-functional. The command "ps -elf" shows both XWin and xinit as running processes, owned by user "peter". No X applications will run, and no DISPLAY gets set. [Even if I manually set the DISPLAY=:0.0 (or DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0) it does not work---I would expect that the DISPLAY environment variable would get set automatically.] If i give the command "gnuplot" in the cygwin window, it starts, but with term=unknown. [If I manually set the DISPLAY variable, gnuplot starts with term=X11, but a command such as "plot x" does not work.] 4. If I attempt to log out at this point, Windows fails to kill XWin gracefully, and pops up the "Exit Now" window, which says "A fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit... ... Release: 6.8.99.901-4 ... XWin started with the following command line: /usr/X11R6/gin/XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error and I have to click on the "Exit Now" button to complete the log out. 5. Sometimes step 4 happens even when I have used the "kill -9" command to kill the XWin process number shown in the output from ps -elf. 6. The X server will also not start when invoked from a different account on the same machine. 7. Giving the "startx" command in the cygwin window also does not work, with results similar to the above. Here is a typical XWin.log: ======================================================================= _XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created.

I did not work with them so my questions are: What do they provide? Is it something similar to what VNC, Tarantella, SUNRay environment provide? Basically, session retainability after e.g. power cycling of local machine, network outage etc or is it something else? As I read in the manual for xsm it only restarts application unless primitive WM_SAVE_YOURSELF primitive is defined. Does anyone care to maintain the list of at least well-known application that do implement this primitve? Manual also mentions rstart based on rsh as the only mechanism for restart on remote machine. Is ssh indeed not supported so far or do some patches already exist? /wbr Ariel Burbaickij -- 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 travis.schwenke@earthlink.net Fri Mar 9 18:40:00 2007 From: travis.schwenke@earthlink.net (Travis Schwenke) Date: Fri, 09 Mar 2007 18:40:00 -0000 Subject: newbie: Vista Startup Issues...

We are running on Solaris, and I believe it was built with gtk widgets. The problem is that when a font selection control is used (it creates a dropdown list within a dialog) the application "nearly" freezes -- the dialog stops redrawing, and while occasionally it will eventually close after pressing the escape key, usually a kill is required from a terminal. Running this app in any other X configuration works fine -- XNest inside -multiwindow, -internalwm, -rootless, -fullscreen, -window, -mwextwm. However, none of those work very well with MS Remote Desktop , which I also need to use, or are as convenient. Does anyone have any ideas regarding how to track down and fix this problem? Thanks a lot!

The OS it runs on is Solaris 8. Recently the application has been upgraded though, and now it will only start up if I supply the -kb flag to Xwin to disable the X keyboard extension (no idea why): xwin -ac -kb -query host That was fine until I realised the capslock key didn't work anymore. After much time, looking for a fix, I discovered I could get it to work without the -kb flag, if I removed the symlink C:\Program Files\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\xkb However that seems a bit of a hack and I still don't understand why this fixes it. I'm happy to use the -kb option, but could anyone tell me how to fix the capslock key please?

Message-ID: <45FC9F29.90301@comcast.net> I am able to run vim just fine. When I launch /bin/gvim I get the gvim window, but then it hangs - the menus do not appear, the text area remains grey, and Windows Task Manager shows it using no CPU cycles but says it's status is Running. I have tried un-installing and re-installing both vim and gvim, through the cygwin setup program. I have tried a rebaseall. I have tried turning off all firewalls. All other X applications (xterm, display, lyx, etc.) work fine. From reading the archives I see that Logitec camera drivers are a source of problems. I do not have a Logitec camera plugged in at the moment, but have in the past. The problem is, I don't know enough about Windows to know how find and un-install any such driver if it does exist. Any pointers are appreciated. Any other ideas what might be causing this?

David Blackstone) Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2007 06:48:00 -0000 Subject: xinitrc final command with -multiwindow Message-ID: <200703210647.l2L6lt4D016474@rs34.luxsci.com> Since X exits when the xinitrc process terminates, xinitrc needs to finish by starting a program that will run for the duration of my X session. Traditionally this is a window manager, but with -multiwindow a window manager is already running. So with -multiwindow the usual course of action is to exec an xterm. But when that xterm exits, so does X. Unfortunately I'm very prone to getting that magic xterm mixed up with all my others, and shutting down my whole session without intending to. Also, I don't want that xterm because I have my XWinrc set up to run every command that I want to run (mostly a series of xterms that ssh to other servers, as well as a local xterm, of course). I just moved to a new machine at work, and managed to back up everything I needed except my xinitrc. Somehow I had figured out what to exec at the end of xinitrc to avoid having that magic xterm, but I can't remember what I did! I think I found it on a Cygwin mailing list, probably three years ago. But tonight I can find no reference to it at all. I know that for a time I just ended xinitrc with a loop that did a sleep 60 or something over and over again. But that was awkward and had problems. At one point I started up xclock or something. Does anyone know what the standard suggestion for the last command of xinitrc is when you cannot run a window run a window manager and you do not want to run an xterm or anything else that clutters up the task bar? It'd be nice if sleep just had an option to sleep indefinitely until killed (I exit from the XWinrc menu), but that doesn't seem to be available. jdb -- 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 cygwin@cougarcorp.net Wed Mar 21 06:57:00 2007 From: cygwin@cougarcorp.net (Jason) Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2007 06:57:00 -0000 Subject: xinitrc final command with -multiwindow In-Reply-To: <200703210647.l2L6lt4D016474@rs34.luxsci.com> References: <200703210647.l2L6lt4D016474@rs34.luxsci.com> Message-ID: <4600D779.4030805@cougarcorp.net> J.

Using that batch file, I am free to close down the Xterm that it starts up, without X dying off. The only caveate is that this prevents a attendentless shutdown. When you try to shut Windows down, an confirmation will pop up asking if you are sure you want to disconnect all X clients. Even if there are no X clients left running. Windows then sits and waits indefinitely for your answer.

(Re: Cygwin/X hangs on startup) Message-ID: <4600D8D7.6080703@cougarcorp.net> I think I've found a possible solution to my problem. I looked in the startxwin.bat file and noticed the comments around the CYGWIN_ROOT environment variable. Now, I run a system with multiple drives, so on a whim, I decided to explicitly spell out what drive the root of cygwin is on. And now my last 10 tries running X have worked properly. So there you have it. On a multi-drive system, it looks like you should set the CYGWIN_ROOT drive explicitly for best results. Jason Jason wrote: > > I've gone digging through the archives here.

Anyone know what I'll miss out on by skipping xinit? (Other than the problem I have with needing to force the xinit process to stick around?) I will seem to lose the ability to run custom stuff in my .xinitrc file, but I think I'd be customizing startxwin.bat/.sh anyway so that wouldn't be an issue I suppose. > The only caveate is that this prevents a attendentless shutdown.

Just convert anything you need from the xinitrc to run in the .bat file, or put them in a separate script and run it via bash. Make sure you don't change startxwin.bat itself, but work on a copy instead. If you change the original, the next update will overwrite your changes (you might detect the voice of bitter experience here). >> The only caveate is that this prevents a attendentless shutdown.

There's a registry setting to force programs to quit on shutdown/logoff: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/rege ntry/34615.mspx?mfr=true True to form, MS only tell half the story in their documentation. They don't say whether the timeouts are honoured before forcing the shutdown, so a shutdown may be immediate, even if an app is prompting you to click OK to cancel the missile launches! You may want to test this first.

I use Cygwin/X mostly for maintenance/administrative tasks on our Linux servers. First, since we have many Java virtual machines on our servers, I use jconsole (a tool that comes with the JDK), to get performance and status information about a particular JVM. Second, for our Oracle servers, I use the OUI (Oracle Universal Installer), and DBUA (Database Upgrade Assistant), to install Oracle software and apply patches and upgrades. All this tools are GUIs, based on Java AWT (Abstract Windowing Toolkit). AWT requires a X Server to run on Linux. Needless to say, I was very annoyed to see an upgrade to an important Oracle database fail at 50%, because the X Server was frozen and used 100% CPU. It seems the problem is dependent on the JDK and/or linux distribution, because I can always reproduce the problem on some machines, and never on others. For example I can always reproduce it with jconsole on one machine with JDK 1.5.0_08-b03 on Ubuntu 2.6.17-10-generic i686, but never on another machine with JDK 1.5.0_10-b03 on 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4smp x86_64. I can always reproduce it with the JREs/JDKs packaged with Oracle 10.2.0.3 (1.4.2_08-b03), and DBUA. I tested on 2.6.13-gentoo-r5 and Ubuntu 2.6.16.28-xen-r2 x86_64 Steps to reproduce: 1. Start the X Server, using the desktop shorcut created by the installer; 2. Start a cygwin command prompt, using the desktop shorcut created by the installer, and type this: export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 xhost + exit 3. On a linux machine, run this command: export DISPLAY=__VISTA_HOST__:0.0 4. Start a Java GUI application, on the linux machine. For example, use the jconsole command, from the Java JDK. 5. After the GUI is displayed on the Vista machine, lock the computer, then unlock it. The GUI window will become white and unresponsive, and one CPU core will be used up to 100%. The workaround is not to lock the computer, and disable any screen savers that could lock the computer while the X Server is running. Actually, I try not to use any other applications on that machine, while the X application is running. I can also reproduce the "100% CPU on exit" problem every time. Also, xterm refuses to run on Vista, with a "fork() failed" message. I solved the fork issue with rebaseall -b 0x65000000, as suggested on a different thread, but the CPU problems persist.

A concern is that I performed the tests using Remote Desktop. And I just found another cygwin-xfree thread named "XWin 100% CPU usage (Remote Desktop)" (it was on Windows 2003 Server). So Remote Desktop might also be a factor. Next week I will try again using a local session, but I already had some "100% CPU" issues last week, without using Remote Desktop, so most likely Remote Desktop is not the problem. -- 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 vladnc@gmail.com Sat Mar 24 14:14:00 2007 From: vladnc@gmail.com (Vladimir Nicolici) Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2007 14:14:00 -0000 Subject: XWin 100% CPU usage for Java applications on Vista In-Reply-To: <46051998.8050809@gmx.de> References: <3e01e53f0703240435vea08566x4b521a7f03d6a3e8@mail.gmail.com> <46051998.8050809@gmx.de> Message-ID: <3e01e53f0703240714q780de66fu59df9dbe890bcd92@mail.gmail.com> > I had similar problems and found that starting the X Server with > -engine 1 will help. Give it a try. I was experimenting with other solutions, and I found Xming, another open source project. Xming doesn't seem to have any of the problems of Cygwin/X. What's funny is that Xming has command line parameters very similar to the cygwin version, including the -engine parameter, with the same 3 options. GDI, DD, DD no lock. Even the tray icon context menu and the about window are the same.

"Red Hat"? This is a community project. Don't know where you got the idea that Cygwin/X was somehow supported by Red Hat. We have been missing a Cygwin/X maintainer for quite some time now.

X clients will connect to it from the Linux servers at work. In the weekends, I need to access my Vista computer at work from the XP (soon to be Vista) computer at home, over my existing encrypted VPN connection, authenticated by RSA rolling codes tokens. Why would I need ssh? If you're asking why I don't run the X server on my home computer, and have the X clients from the servers at work connect directly to it, the problem is that the connection between home and work is wireless dial-up over CDMA EVDO, not very stable, and if I loose the connection the X client will lose the connection with the X server, and crash. With remote desktop, if I loose the connection with my work computer, nothing bad happens, I just reconnect after reestablishing the connection. And remote desktop uses far less bandwidth than X protocol. -- 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 vladnc@gmail.com Sat Mar 24 18:56:00 2007 From: vladnc@gmail.com (Vladimir Nicolici) Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2007 18:56:00 -0000 Subject: XWin 100% CPU usage for Java applications on Vista In-Reply-To: <20070324171544.GA19643@ednor.casa.cgf.cx> References: <3e01e53f0703240435vea08566x4b521a7f03d6a3e8@mail.gmail.com> <46051998.8050809@gmx.de> <3e01e53f0703240714q780de66fu59df9dbe890bcd92@mail.gmail.com> <20070324171544.GA19643@ednor.casa.cgf.cx> Message-ID: <3e01e53f0703241156k64ae3c41pa61f29a52565a3fa@mail.gmail.com> > "Red Hat"?

Dig a little deeper in the web site and you'll see who supports Cygwin. In any event, now you know. There is not a staff of Red Hat engineers backing this project.

Chris has already sufficiently responded to correct your misconception about the relationship between Red Hat and Cygwin. I'll only say that your musings on why the Cygwin distribution doesn't include Xming starts with one major roadblock - we'd need a maintainer to contribute and maintain the package. I can't say whether Xming would make it through the ITP phase but if it won't have a maintainer, it would suffer the same fate as Cygwin/X right now so there's little clear value to going that route. Packages don't get into the distribution without someone willing to maintain it. Now, if you're suggesting that you would be willing to become a maintainer for an Xming package in Cygwin, then consult and send an ITP notice when you have a package available. You'd need to take into account an "upgrade path" from the current Cygwin/X package if your intent would be to replace the existing offering. Then again, maybe this turns out to be the same amount of work overall as maintaining the existing package so perhaps it would be better to just take over maintainer-ship of the current package. In any case, if you've gathered from all this that the important part of the equation here is the maintainer, I think you got the point. :-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

I don't mind, and I actually appreciate the prompt if I have X stuff running and I try to shut down Cygwin X.

Well, you are starting kicker in cygwin, so no suprise here. If you want to start kicker on your linux computer you will have to use ssh or rsh.

The two messages you listed above are just warnings and were not the cause of the hang. Please search the list archives and the FAQ for the possible causes of XWin hang. As others mentioned, rebaseall may help, as may uninstalling some of the "dodgy apps" that are buggy enough to cause Cygwin to behave badly.

This in on WinXPsp2. Most of the time things start up fine; but I see the problem often enough that I can reproduce it within a few minutes. When XWin fails to completely start up, I see: - the black X in the system tray, but I can't right click on it for a menu - port 6000 listening - established connections on port 6000 (localhost to localhost) - XWin, xhost, and xterm processes in ps -ef - if I attempt to export my display from another server, I see the established connection but no X window - if I attempt to display X from localhost, I see more extablished connections but no window If I kill -9 Xwin and restart it, it usually works.

The first line in the "good" log after the "bad" log stops is a mutex_return - which might indicate that a mutex is never returning from somewhere and keeping the startup from finishing? Any help would be appreciated.
