This is a problem that appeared in the last few weeks. It's likely that I ran setup.exe and updated a few things around the time it started; there may also have been a change in my Windows system. (Sorry, I wish I could be less vague.) I'm running Cygwin with the latest updates under Windows XP SP3. I'm seeing this problem on two different (but similarly configured) systems, a Dell laptop and a Dell desktop. I start the X server with the command: XWin -engine 2 -nodecoration -emulate3buttons & (I had some Cygwin-specific reason for adding the "-engine 2" option, but I don't remember what it was. The man page says it uses "Shadow DirectDraw".) I then start fvwm2 with the command: fvwm2 & My $HOME/.fvwm2rc file is rather large and has accumulated a lot of cruft over the 11 years I've been using it. I can provide a copy if necessary, or try a stripped down version to see if it still exhibits the problem, but for now I'll just mention the lines that I think are relevant: # KEYBOARD Setup # # press arrow + control anywhere, and scroll by 1 page Key Left A C Scroll -100 +0 Key Right A C Scroll +100 +0 Key Up A C Scroll +0 -100 Key Down A C Scroll +0 +100 What this *should* do is, for example, let me press control-left-arrow to jump left by one page, or control-right-arrow to jump right by one page. And in fact that's exactly what happens -- but only initially. When I first launch the X server and window manager, these and my other fvwm2 key bindings work correctly. But as soon as I use alt-tab to switch to another MS Windows application, then switch back to X, they stop working. Instead, pressing control-left-arrow sends the sequence ^[[D (escape, left-bracket, D) to the X application that currently has focus (typically xterm). (Unfortunately, staying in X Windows forever is not an option.) Is this a known problem? Any suggestions for fixing it or working around it?

I think it could be made to work that way, but from a brief investigation it would require using a later version of the DirectX API than it's currently written to in order to put full-screen windows other than on monitor 0. For the moment, I think I shall add a fix so it doesn't crash when given this combination of options, and document this limitation to -fullscreen. As a workaround, I'd suggest you use -nodecoration instead of -fullscreen, which should be almost as good. -- 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 Sat Mar 5 18:02:00 2011 From: jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk (Jon TURNEY) Date: Sat, 05 Mar 2011 18:02:00 -0000 Subject: X doesn't start for user without admin rights In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4D727AC8.4040307@dronecode.org.uk> On 05/03/2011 14:07, Paul Maier wrote: > X starts fine under a user with local administrator rights. > When logged in to the same machine with another user that has no admin rights, > X won't start. > > The log indicates that another X were already running, but it's not. > > Output on the console is: > > giving up. > /bin3/startxwin: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server > /bin3/startxwin: No such process (errno 3): Server error. > > > Log attached. > _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6 > _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/:0 > _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6 > _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed Assuming you don't have IPv6 installed, this last line should be the significant error here.

When these files are not present, the underpriviledged user can start X fine. The situation is now as follows: SCENARIO 1: Log in as administrator. Start X. Reboot PC and log in as normal user. -> The files are present. => The normal user can't start X. SCENARIO 2: Log in as administrator. Start X. Manually shut down X by double-clicking on the X-icon in the taskbar (near the clock). Reboot PC and log in as normal user. -> The files are not present. => The normal user can start X. It seems that on reboot of the PC, X doesn't shut down properly, and instead just gets killed. I played around with the access rights of the /tmp dir: I gave everybody (world) full rights. But that doesn't help because the files get their own ACL when they are (re)created. So currently the administrator is required to not forget to manually shut down his X server, otherwise normal users can't start X. Cygwin and Cygwin/X are great products, BTW.

From a write-able stick the start command bin\run bin\XWin -nolock -nolisten local -logfile /dev/null -multiwindow & works perfectly well. Notice the switch -logfile /dev/null which means the file XWin.0.log is not written. (Slightly odd I know. The switch -logfile should specify a filename not a directoryname, but it seems to work?) However using an identical architecture as on the stick, but on a CD, the same start command results in "Failed to activate core devices".

You didn't attach the XWin output, so I'm guessing here, but during server startup the mandatory XKB extension needs to invoke xkbcomp to compile the keymap into a temporary file in /var/lib/xkb/ which it then reads and deletes. You should be able to confirm that is the case by reading the XWin output, or running your XWin commmand under strace, in which case you will need to arrange for /var to be mounted somewhere read/write. > (Oh woe woe woe.

This is the first release of the xserver 1.10 series. It is currently available as a test release, and will be made stable in approximately one week if no major regressions are reported. Please try test releases and report problems to the Cygwin/X mailing list. Testing helps ensure good releases! In addition to upstream fixes and improvements, this contains the following cygwin-specific changes since 1.9.4-1: * Fix clipboard integration in locales unknown to Xlib (e.g those using a CP encoding) (Reported by Paul Maier) * Fix to only send the specified address in XDMCP REQUESTs, when using the -from option (Reported by Alexander Pokluda) * Tidy up OS version detection and reporting in log output * Just report the version number broken down into components (e.g. 1.10.0.0), and don't bother reporting the full version number (e.g. 11000000) as well * Remove some uninformative and always emitted log output * Handle failure of winScreenInit() during startup without crashing, document -fullscreen is only possible with one screen (Reported by Alexander Pokluda) Note: Building from source requires xextproto-7.2.0, which is not yet available as a cygwin package. 3d74cc98ca7b8d2b8bc805d2df6f53ff *xorg-server-1.10.0-1.tar.bz2 5befd808cc864b022b3a48c38110a96b *xorg-server-dmx-1.10.0-1.tar.bz2 e91a76d2e10c43a70c1b331125ed8ba8 *xorg-server-1.10.0-1-src.tar.bz2 -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer CYGWIN-XFREE-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO ====================================== If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-xfree-announce mailing list, please use the automated form at: http://cygwin.com/lists.html#subscribe-unsubscribe If this does not work, then look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.

There is the ForwardX11Timeout setting (see 'man ssh_config'), but that can't be the explanation for what you are seeing, as that doesn't apply with 'ssh -Y' > The host is any Win32 or Win64, and the client is Ubuntu... If you are saying that it doesn't work from any cygwin machine, connecting to one particular ubuntu server, that should be a pointer that something has changed on the ubuntu server. > I also tried manually setting the DISPLAY environmental variable... If you are setting DISPLAY to point directly at your Cygwin/X server, you will need to permit access from the remote host, as described in the 'insecure telnet' section of [1].

It's SEGVing in Cygwin due to a problem with Cygwin's record keeping about loaded DLLs. Possibly rebase will help. I'll investigate more over the weekend. 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 dfelicia@donsbox.com Fri Mar 25 13:58:00 2011 From: dfelicia@donsbox.com (webmaster) Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2011 13:58:00 -0000 Subject: xterm access violations (again) In-Reply-To: <20110325052241.GA18053@ednor.casa.cgf.cx> References: <20110322165117.N24352@mail101.his.com> <20110323171230.G30377@mail101.his.com> <1300929672.316.17.camel@YAAKOV04> <20110325052241.GA18053@ednor.casa.cgf.cx> Message-ID: > Possibly rebase will help.

Could someone try this with the latest snapshot? I haven't made any changes but I just want to confirm that it still fails with something close to what will become Cygwin 1.7.9. http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ You just have to replace the DLL.

It's somewhat inconvenient only being able to provide one package as previous, as I'd like to provide both the previous version 1.9.4-1, and also 1.8.2-1 (which is currently available as previous) for any users who are affected by upstream bug #31501 (crash when using xfs) [1], which is not yet fixed. I've chosen to make 1.9.4-1 previous, so that can be reverted to if problems are found with 1.10.0-1.

I am seeing one problem, though, where I wonder if there is a fix. I have observed the problem when switching between virtual desktops for both Windows Desktop Manager and Dexpot Desktop Manager. I frequently remote into servers and run "tail -f" to monitor various log files. I have noticed when I switched to another virtual desktop, the mintty sessions in the hidden virtual desktops do not get updated. When I switch back to the desktop and hit the enter key within the mintty window it seems to catch up. But, for some reason, the windows display gets jumbled. Is there a way to refresh the window such that it looks normal without disturbing the running process (tail)?
