You really deserved to succeed after paying such good attention to the man-pages. I think you will find that setting the shortcut to 'run C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "/usr/bin/startxwin.exe -- -dpi 90"' should succeed in passing the dpi option down to startxwin. Note that the quotes around the entire command after bash's -c option, which are needed, otherwise bash will interpret the '-- -dpi 90' as options for itself. I think perhaps we should arrange for the shortcut to be created with these quotation marks in place to make it a bit more obvious where to add extra options. > I also heard about a file called "~/.xserverrc" to alter the way the > Xserver is launched.

It's long been suspected that there is some problem with lockfiles running XWin as a non-administrator user (See FAQ 3.4,[1]), but I've never had a sufficient clear description to understand what the problem is, until now. The only problem I see with your solution is that you are assuming only a single user is logged in. This might not be the case on a Terminal Server (although it would probably take a specific sequence of privileged/unprivileged logins and XWin startups/shutdowns to show a problem) This would be better fixed in XWin itself by arranging to give these files the correct permissions, if we could work out how to do that :-) [1] http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-cant-read-lock-file -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- 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 jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk Wed Feb 3 19:43:00 2010 From: jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk (Jon TURNEY) Date: Wed, 03 Feb 2010 19:43:00 -0000 Subject: screen not updated outside 1680x1050 In-Reply-To: References: <83E753BE7B6A324ABB336245BAF1DAAC0DA068D5@mailserver.metatv-ds.metatv.com> Message-ID: <4B69D1FF.2070107@dronecode.org.uk> On 18/12/2009 06:11, Fr??d??ric Bron wrote: >>> XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error >>> >>> ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens >>> winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1680 h 1050 >> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ >> Looks like the system doesn't see your whole resolution at startup. >> I'd pass "-screen 0 1920x1200" to XWin.exe.

As pointed out by others, this is achieved by using 'run' (which is designed for exactly that purpose) to invoke startxwin. The 'XWin Server' start menu entry created by the installation of the xinit package should contain a command line to do that: 'C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe' (this also gives XWin and all your clients a login shell environment) If that isn't working to hide the DOS window, that would probably be a bug in run. > Are there plans to update http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using.html so people > like me don't waste a few hours finding out that startxwin.bat has been > replaced by startxwin.exe and that it is documented in its man page?

You haven't really answered my question. So far I understand users working in some way involving nx get confused trying to do something with the clipboard because something happens and making something diferent happen will not confuse them.

I had started with cygwin-1.7 back in August, and over the course of the autumn months had my difficulties with startxwin.bat. Among the things that I did to make startxwin.bat work was to have the environment variable CYGWIN set to: CYGWIN = tty notitle glob When I stepped up to startxwin.exe in late December/early January, it would start the Xwin server, but my xterm would always hang. I retained startxwin.bat for a few weeks while I scanned the postings for information. Jim Reisert's hint, about removing the "tty" setting from the CYGWIN environment variable, was what got the startxwin.exe going for me. Now that my variable states only CYGWIN = notitle glob the xterm starts up nicely within a few seconds after Xwin.exe is initialized. Mucho gracias, Jim!

On my XP32 on T61 (configuration determined by my employer) it was frequently necessary and sufficient to reboot before running startxwin.

An alternative is to change the permissions on /var/log as above, if you don't mind letting all your users see, and be able to delete or modify, all the cygwin logfiles, but I don't see it as any better.

I use XWin -query to establish an XDMCP connection to a Solaris 10 host (Tony's was AIX). I log in to Solaris CDE without any issues. Then as soon as I open and close one of the CDE "panels", XWin no longer responds to keystrokes or mouse clicks. Moving the mouse around works fine, and hovering the mouse over a window with a tooltip (for example the perfmeter) still causes the tooltip to be displayed, but clicking and keystrokes are ignored. The only recourse is to terminate XWin from the X icon in the system tray or from Task Manager. As an experiment, I tried running GNOME rather than CDE as my desktop session, and that worked a little better, but as soon as I started a Motif-based application (IBM/Rational Apex Ada development environment), the keyboard and mouse clicks died again. Running CDE and Apex on the same Solaris box via Cygwin/X 1.5 works flawlessly. This problem only started occurring with 1.7. I even tried compiling xorg-xserver 1.7.4.0 from source to see if there was a problem specific to 1.7.3.0, but it behaved the exact same way. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I can NOT get this release to work. xterm-251-1 was working just fine, and I reverted back to it, and it's still working just fine. I'm running Windows 7 Pro. 64-bit. When I start the new xterm, I see brief activity in the Windows Task Manager, but then the process dies almost immediately. I've tried starting both from the X server system tray icon, as well as from a tcsh shell (using -display localhost:0) There doesn't appear to be anything in the Xwin.0.log file indicating what the problem is.

Creating a shortcut which starts the X server with: 'C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "ssh-agent startxwin"' should probably do what you want. Note that (as before), processes you start other than via the X traymenu (for example, from a start menu item) aren't children of ssh-agent, so won't inherit SSH_AUTH_SOCK and SSH_AGENT_PID from it. -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- 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 angelo.graziosi@alice.it Mon Feb 8 14:31:00 2010 From: angelo.graziosi@alice.it (Angelo Graziosi) Date: Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:31:00 -0000 Subject: libglib2, Emacs and GTK applications Message-ID: <4B701FF7.6090002@alice.it> Just for completeness, I want to flag some strange things that I see between a GTK build of Emacs and libglib2.0_0-2.22.4-2 BUT NOT with libglib2.0_0-2.22.4-1! With 2.22.4-2, when I open a dialog box (for example clicking on the tool bar icon "Reading an existing file into an Emacs buffer"), in /tmp is created the directory 'fam-angelo' and 'ps' shows a 'gamin-server' running. When I quit from Emacs (C-x C-c), the Emacs window stays on the desktop until 'gamin-server' is removed, i.e. for at least 20-30 seconds, looking as if Emacs were hanging. This behavior does not happens with version 2.22.4-1. The '/tmp/fam-angelo' directory is not created and 'gamin-server' or is not started or it is removed immediately when it does not need any more. Also the 'apparent' hanging disappears. The above facts should be verified also with the following test case of GTK application I found in this list. It should be build with: gcc -DTRY1 -Wall -o test-dialog3-try1-01 test-dialog3.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0 Then $ ./test-dialog3-try1-01.exe under libglib2-2.22.4-2 creates /tmp/fam-angelo and starts 'gamin-server' which is removed only after 20-30 seconds.

You were just lucky :-) The backing store attribute is a hint; the server doesn't have to honour a request to use backing store. Note that even if you have an X server which does provide backingstore, the server doesn't have to provide an unlimited amount of memory for it, so it may discard backingstore at any time. Any X client which *requires* backingstore to work is broken, not correctly redrawing windows when they are exposed. See [1] > Now, it doesn't work.

I think blocking would just result in a deadlock, as the X server is only single-threaded. The windows message pump is called when the server has no other work to do. This should be documented in [1], although perhaps that is lacking in detail. I notice that winWakeHandler()/winBlockHandler() try to completely empty the windows message queue, which leads to this problem as the server won't get a chance to process anything (draining the mieq queue) until they return. It might be enough to resolve this problem to allow those functions to complete after processing a limited number of events (chosen so as to not overflow the mieq queue), or if they notice that the event queue has crossed some high-water mark threshold.

Let me start with this intro: 2.22.4-1 included a fix for GIO plugin loading on Win32[1], but once again they lumped Cygwin together with MinGW. Of course, not only did this not need to be "fixed" on Cygwin but they outright broke GIO and everything that depends on it, and I got to pick up the pieces. Hence the need for 2.22.4-2, which behaves as it should. So you might as well forget about 2.22.4-1, and focus on whatever issues you appear to be having with GIO.

I run GTK+/GNOME apps all the time, and I have yet to see this, so AFAICS it's not a bug in gamin or GLib/GTK+. The only other things I can suggest are: 1) rebaseall, as launching gam_server involves a fork(), the failure of which can lead to strange behaviour. 2) create a ~/.gaminrc with the following contents: fsset ntfs poll 10 The last number is the poll interval, in seconds. The default is every second, and that can sometimes lead to excessive CPU usage. Usually that's only a problem with KDE, where several large parts of /usr/share are monitored, but it's worth trying.

Hmm... At the moment my installation is quite stable and I won't rebase without being sure that it really needs a rebase. After all, with Emacs I rarely use dialog box: C-x C-f, etc., are faster to work with... I have to think a little more before rebasing... :-) > 2) create a ~/.gaminrc with the following contents: > > fsset ntfs poll 10 It does not works, sigh! :( In any case, thanks for all your suggestions.

You can do this yourself in any text editor (assuming you've got write access). Just change /bin/bash to /bin/zsh and you should be OK. Don't even think about hacking .bashrc, .bash_profile or .profile. If you do, then anything that tries to run bash will end up running zsh, and will probably fail. (This would include all post-install scripts run by setup.exe, so you'd probably end up with a hosed system) BTW, this is the wrong list for this topic; it has nothing to do with X.

Okay, thanks to having some useful reproduction steps I've done a bit of testing and generated some patches (at [1]) which should hopefully address some of these issues. The thing I don't understand at this stage is that the /tmp/.X0-lock file and /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 socket should be removed when the X server shuts down, so shouldn't be causing problems. Is there some specific way the server is being exited which doesn't remove these files?

No matter. Firefox on Windows knows nothing of X Windows anyway. No surprise, right? > Do you know why it is launched in background ? > Is there a mean of displaying Firefox launched from the Linux box on Windows ? Generally, no. Depending on the version of Windows and Cygwin you're running, you can go to the Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services->Cygwin SSHD-> Log On and enable "Allow service to interact with desktop" if you're already running the service with "Local System". Pretty much for any other case, you can't do on Windows what you want to do. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.

When I enable "Allow service to interact with desktop", If I launch from X a ssh command to Y with "firefox" it launches the Firefox window now but not in its normal form. We have the Firebox taskbar entry with the border of the application, but not the main tab. I tried with Internet Explorer and I've got the same behavior, only the taskbar entry and the border not the main page. It seems like a display bug or something else (I tried these tests on 2 different PCs and same effects...) Do you know what can cause this ?

For anyone else having this problem and contemplating downgrading to the legacy Cygwin, leave Cygwin 1.7.1 installed. Grab the xorg-server-1.6.5-1 binaries from here (or one of the other Cygwin mirror sites): ftp://mirror.nyi.net/cygwin/release/X.Org/xorg-server/xorg-server-1.6.5-1.tar.bz2 Extract the tar file from the bz2, and then extract XWin.exe file from tar file (it's under the /usr/bin directory), and replace the 1.7.x XWin.exe in the C:\cygwin\bin directory with the 1.6.5 version from the tar file. Also, I tested using Xorg 1.7.4-1 on Fedora 12 Linux to remotely open CDE applications (dtterm, dtpad, etc.) on a Solaris box. The problems that occur under XWin 1.7.x with Cygwin do not occur with Xorg 1.7.x on Linux. So this keyboard/mouse hang issue seems specific to Cygwin, not to Xorg in general. The problem is reproducible even in multiwindow mode. Just remotely open a Solaris dtterm from Cygwin XWin and Linux Xorg. With XWin, right clicking in the dtterm window causes all keyboard/mouse input to stop without ever showing the context menu (the mouse pointer rotates from 10:00 to 2:00 and stays in that orientation). With Xorg, the context menu is shown correctly and input continues to work. Note that in multiwindow mode, keyboard/mouse input can be restored by closing the dtterm window from the native window manager and opening a new one. XWin does not have to be completely terminated to restore input. Not sure if that's a clue for any of the developers.

This is an interesting idea; I spent a while looking at WaitFor.c/WaitForSomething, but it's pretty opaque -- couldn't figure out when/under what conditions winWakeHandler is called by it.

I am not a programmer, just an end user, so please put any reply in layman's terms. Thank you. You are almost certainly not using "experimental GLX acceleration", which is the experimental XWin_GL.exe X server, as that hasn't been included in recent Cygwin/X releases and never in Cygwin 1.7. So that is probably not the cause of your problem. Unless you can reproduce your GLX problem with a free application, your best idea is to contact the supplier of the application you have a problem with for support. -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- 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 radu.berinde@gmail.com Tue Feb 16 20:04:00 2010 From: radu.berinde@gmail.com (Radu Berinde) Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2010 20:04:00 -0000 Subject: 1.7.1 - problem with moving mouse programmatically with xte In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: It's unfortunate that this problem hasn't been fixed and Cygwin/X 1.7 is now part of the stable distribution.

But I agree if someone tried to do just that, then this is a potential danger. So the FAQ could be more clear/instructive on this count.

This happens because xterm doesn't start a login shell, and PS1 gets unset. One way around this is to set PS1 in your ~/.bashrc file.

You have spaces in your PATH but probably did not quote it properly in your scripts when you used it ... I have things like this in my .bash_profile: PATH="${HOME}/bin:/c/miktex2.8/miktex/bin:${PATH}:${M2_HOME}/bin" Note the quotes :-) .... Since I run MiKTeX from cygwin, I added to PATH within cygwin only, so that's not my point. My point is always using the quotes when adjusting PATH, and so forth, if it might have spaces in it.

I've deleted it, and now the message doesn't appear. It was redundant because MiKTeX was already added to the PATH in Windows. Mea cupla...

This is an interesting and obscure use case. :-) The reason this doesn't work as expected seem to be this [1] upstream change. This prevents cursor moves inserted via XTEST from getting propagated to the native cursor. I'd be interested to know if this works with X server 1.7.x on any platform, I'd suspect possibly not. Using XWarpCursor() should move the native cursor correctly, so you might be able to use that instead?

Let's see: right at the end of hw/xwin/InitInput.c we open "/dev/windows" (a special device which becomes ready when there is anything on the windows message queue) and add that to the select mask.

Assuming that a ".bat file means I'm double clicking something" is actually sort of a stretch. But, if you need a .bat files why not just put the call to startx in a .bat file? You'd have to set the PATH appropriately, of course. It seems like you should be able to call startxwin.exe directly if needed too. 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 jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk Tue Feb 23 19:42:00 2010 From: jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk (Jon TURNEY) Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2010 19:42:00 -0000 Subject: How do I start WM?

This is almost by design. There are a few differences between startx and startxwin, appropriate to running in windowed or multiwindow mode, and mixing them up would be a bad idea. * They use different scripts to start clients (~/.startxwinrc and ~/.xinitrc). This is because we expect the .xinitrc to end by starting a WM, which would a bad idea for .startxwinrc (as it would discover the internal WM is already running (hopefully)) and exit immediately. * startxwin exits after ~/.startxwinrc has completed and leaves XWin running, whereas startx waits until ~/.xinitrc exits (which is usually waiting for the WM started by it to exit) and then kills XWin. -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- 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 StarbucksGiftCard@bulldiety.net Wed Feb 24 01:16:00 2010 From: StarbucksGiftCard@bulldiety.net (Starbucks Gift Card) Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2010 01:16:00 -0000 Subject: Get $100 to Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts Message-ID: <20100223175004.hmclcqidcx@bulldiety.net> -------------------------------------------- We hope you enjoyed receiving this email, but if you no longer wish to receive our emails please click here: http://bulldiety.net/aHR0cGQvZm9ybXMvN2JlZTQyNHUucGhwPzg4ODkmMzgyMTE1JnNiamlkPTM0MjY2JmludGlkPTYw -- 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 StarbucksGiftCard@tvdiety.net Wed Feb 24 01:16:00 2010 From: StarbucksGiftCard@tvdiety.net (Starbucks Gift Card) Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2010 01:16:00 -0000 Subject: Get $100 to Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts Message-ID: <20100223175004.gxbhsprzby@tvdiety.net> -------------------------------------------- We hope you enjoyed receiving this email, but if you no longer wish to receive our emails please click here: http://tvdiety.net/aHR0cGQvZm9ybXMvN2JlZTQyNHUucGhwPzg4ODkmMzgyMTE2JnNiamlkPTM0MjY2JmludGlkPTYw -- 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 jofferman@gmail.com Wed Feb 24 01:45:00 2010 From: jofferman@gmail.com (J.

Thanks, there were others missing too. I have compiled Xserver on this machine before, I guess they've added new packages in the required list. With those packages installed now, I was able to compile XWin.exe and it is running fine. But I saw a couple of gcc errors saying "-rdynamic is not a recognized option" or something when the build process was building in hw/vfb and hw/xnest. I had to yank out those two directories from the build process by manually editing hw/Makefile.

The -rdynamic flag is equivalent to -Wl,--export-dynamic, which is an ELF-specific ld option and is not supported on PE/COFF platforms such as Cygwin. But those aren't errors, and gcc should just emit the message and continue.

Yes, known issue with 1.7+. Currently XWin (if -mwextwm support is enabled) needs to be built in a separate pass from the other DDXs, as my .cygport does. If you don't care about about -mwextwm, then uninstall the windowswmproto package and rebuild.

Xming X Window manager -> from a quick glance, this is an X server, not a window manager. It's corresponding executable in cygwin would be Xwin.exe, started via either startx or startxwin.exe. twm and openbox (and openbox-session which adds some autostart and xdg interactions to an openbox manages session) are window managers. window managers require an xserver to be started first, all the X applications 'paint' themselves on the Xserver. The window manager, allows you to 'manage' those applications (size, location, minimize,maximize etc ). So running openbox or openbox-session w/o an X server already running will fail ala above.

This is an update to the latest stable upstream release. A snapshot of the 1.8 beta series has also been made available as a test release. Support for the Composite extension has been fixed and re-enabled in both versions. The Record extension is fixed and enabled in the 1.8 test release; this has been backported for the upcoming 1.7.6 stable release as well. The following patches has been added in the stable release: - Added XWinrc FORCEEXIT option to exit without asking for confirmation. - If system.XWinrc is malformed, ignore it and try ~/.XWinrc. - Provide builtin menu configuration if no XWinrc is found. - Remove logfile before writing to it. This is a partial workaround for logging failures in multiuser setups. - /etc/X11/system.XWinrc will no longer be uninstalled if modified.

The X-Server dies when openbox starts, and it shouldn't do that, even without a window manager. But i see this only every tenth attempt to start openbox, while the original poster seems to have this every time. And I changed /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, no ~/.xinitrc Interestingly, putting openbox at the end of the start script and doing exec openbox-session >/tmp/openbox.log 2>&1 seems to stop that, but i haven't tried enough to be sure. -- 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 jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk Thu Feb 25 15:43:00 2010 From: jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk (Jon TURNEY) Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2010 15:43:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] [1.7] Updated: xorg-server 1.7.5-1, 1.7.99.901-1 (TEST) In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4B869A95.9050803@dronecode.org.uk> On 25/02/2010 08:21, Yaakov (Cygwin/X) wrote: > The following package has been updated for Cygwin 1.7: > > * xorg-server-1.7.5-1 > > The following patches has been added in the stable release: I believe this also contains a patch for the issue where input would freeze in running a motif application in an XDMCP session (due to a passive grab triggering, but the event the application was waiting for to release it not being sent) http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11301 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25400 -- 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 jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk Thu Feb 25 15:45:00 2010 From: jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk (Jon TURNEY) Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2010 15:45:00 -0000 Subject: Cygwin/X 1.7 keyboard/mouse freeze shortly after Xwin login to Solaris In-Reply-To: <5E9B482A155C4BFC8D316D648B5C3D62@desktop> References: <2500F8F76C6442B4AE4CB1A2306FA167@desktop> <53D31EC03B234700BC79BAC9109E1E99@desktop> <4B7EC451.30706@dronecode.org.uk> <5E9B482A155C4BFC8D316D648B5C3D62@desktop> Message-ID: <4B869B17.2080605@dronecode.org.uk> On 20/02/2010 04:02, Mark Veneziano wrote: > Thanks very much for investigating this issue.

Ugh. I keep setting off filters of one sort or another. I can reproduce your finding. Putting just "openbox &" in my ~/xinitrc does not work. Putting the "exec openbox-session >/tmp/openbox.log 2>&1" line in works fine for the few minutes I tested. twm and WindowMaker work fine from a Windows shortcut.

My guess is that you inadvertently double-clicked the start XWin icon and two starting processes collided and crashed, leaving a lock or two locked.

Note my last line, i'm not at my cygwin box right now, but I'll bet that if you exit the xterm that is opened on startup, that everything goes away (i.e. xinit exits after that xterm exits ) exec xterm -geometry 80x6+0+0 -name login I generally start my xserver & apps with my own script.

I'm unable to start any Windows GUI program via SSH. Strange is the problem doesn't occur in SSHD shipped with cygwin 1.5.25-7, which I had installed yesterday. In version 1.5 enough thing to do was enable service option: "Allow interact with desktop", then GUI applications were able to be correctly run via ssh. In version 1.7 switch on this option in Cygwin SSHD service option doesn't help. Application cannot draw himself, and generates tons of denial access errors. I tried also grant acces in Local Policies to user, Generate security audits Replace process level token Create process token didn't help too :( I have Win XP SP2, under this system I had installed Cygwin 1.5 and launch GUI apps via ssh worked. Now I have Win XP SP2 too, but current Cygwin version is 1.7.1 - It doesn't work. I tried to find answer to this problem, and I saw this problem is not a new one (people complains since A.D. ~2006), but nobody could definitly answer how to make it work, or at least say that is impossible to do at all. If someone has some info, please help. Thanks.

I'll try to explain better: I'm log on to windows as e.g. User1, that is administrator user. When I start cygwin shell I can simply run: $notepad I see Notepad application correct launched, but If I do it this way: $ssh User1@localhost User1@localhost's password: Last login: Fri Feb 26 18:00:01 2010 from localhost User1@athlon ~ $ notepad I have notepad launched (I see it on process ) but it cannot draw correctly himself on the screen. The same behaviour was in Cygwin 1.5, but then sufficient thing to do was simply select SSHD service option: "Allow service to interact with desktop", which was solve the problem. With Cygwins' 1.7 SSHD, selection this option does not take any effect, I have still this unexpected to me behaviour. >From application point of view it is somekind still permission problem (exactly the same as was in cygwin 1.5 before switch on "Allow service to interact with desktop" option), for example: int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { int retVal = 0; retVal = SetCursorPos(0, 0); if (retVal == 0) { std::cout << "SetCursorPos error [" << GetLastError() << "]." << std::endl; // // GetLastError() returns 5 - ACCESS VIOLATION // when it is run via ssh in Cygwin 1.7.1. // } return 0; } Additional info: SSHD process user name is SYSTEM process launched via ssh user name is User1, but it still has no access to the desktop. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/How-to-remotly-launch-application-with-SSH-and-Cygwin-X-server-tp27523977p27722202.html Sent from the cygwin-xfree mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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 kennethwolcott@gmail.com Fri Feb 26 23:35:00 2010 From: kennethwolcott@gmail.com (Kenneth Wolcott) Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2010 23:35:00 -0000 Subject: How do I start WM?
