Re: can't start xterm
On Feb 5, 2009, at 2:30 PM, Ryan Stewart rds6...@gmail.com wrote: I had been using the startxwin.bat to start X in multiwindow mode, and I have a couple of lines in there to auto-start some xterm windows. That doesn't work anymore. The X server starts, but no xterms appear. When I right click the tray icon and go to Applications-xterm, nothing happens either Problem solved by using the startxwin.bat in /usr/X11R6/bin. I guess the one at /usr/bin wasn't updated because I'd modified it? The only change I noticed was from: SET RUN=%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin\run -p /usr/bin to: SET RUN=%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin\run -p /usr/X11R6/bin This strikes me as odd, since the upgrade instructions seem to indicate that /usr/X11R6/bin was going away in favor of /usr/bin: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2008-11/msg0.html So what's the deal here? Where is startxwin.bat supposed to live now? And how do I overcome the apparent problem of customizing it and getting killed by updates? A separate question: where can I find some documentation on \cygwin\bin\run.exe? I only have a vague idea what it does and no idea what options are available with it. -- 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/
Re: Cygwin/X (XWin) falls down when using -fp option
2009/2/3 Jon TURNEY jon.tur...@dronecode.org.uk: Jana Skleničková wrote: Because I couldn't find anything unusual or helpful in the logs I captured packets using Wireshark. So far I found this: Solaris to Cygwin X11, Request, opcode: 51 (SetFontPath) opcode: 51 (SetFontPath) unused request-lenth: 14 str-number-in-path: 2 unused path tcp/Solaris_IP_address:7100 /etc/dc/config/xfonts/c It looks like the Solaris sends font path, that Cygwin doesn't understand. I guess this means your logon scripts are trying to add /etc/dc/config/xfonts/c to the font path (which isn't going to work very well as that directory doesn't exist on the Cygwin box) and possibly treats that as critical to a successful login. You might be able to work around this by creating the directory /etc/dc/config/xfonts/c on the cygwin host and running 'mkfontdir' there, but really you should fix the logon scripts :-) (Note that google suggests /etc/dc/config/xfonts/c is a typo for /etc/dt/config/xfonts/c) I tried the workarounds you suggested with no success, unfortunately. I can't do anything with the Solaris machine. There is no problem when I approach Solaris from another comp, for example linux (Debian distribution), the only problem is when I use Cygwin. -- 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/
cant type in xterm after reboot
I can install and run cygwin fine. It works great. (Windows XP Home). However, after my 1st reboot of the system, my xterm comes up (default app) but I cannot type in the window. I have found no way to repair this other than a reinstall of the entire X component of cygwin. Ideas? This is really troublesome.

I looked at that before, but since I was doing a reinstall did not think it applied, since the problem kept coming back. However, long ago, I guess I copied startxwin.bat into my startup folder instead of copying a link... hence the problem once I rebooted, it started the old one on login...

SOLUTION: Unable to load any usable iso8859 font
Rajesh Advani wrote:
I had the exact same problem, and a couple of others including missing
adobe fonts.
Here are the packages I installed, to get over font related issues. I may
have installed a few extra ones.
font-adobe-dpi100 - To fix the adobe font issues
font-adobe-dpi75 - To fix the adobe font issues
font-bitstream-dpi100 - Just in case
font-bitstream-dpi75 - Just in case
font-bitstream-type1 - Just in case
font-bitstream-vera-ttf - Just in case
font-misc-misc - I think I read something somewhere on the internet which
led me to install this. Don't remember.
xorg-scripts - I had trouble with xinit - (specifically the X Win Server
shortcut not working from D drive which I've mentioned in another post)
My solution was, at the very least, to re-run setup.exe and to install the
package font-misc-misc. Once I did that, XWin stopped hanging and xterm
and xclock ran without a hitch.
I found this nugget of information buried deep in the
http://www.nabble.com/forum/Reply.jtp?post=21828473 Cygwin/X FAQ page ,
section 9.4, sub-item 1. To quote:
You do not have a font package which provides the default font ('fixed')
installed. This is rarely the problem; but in the event that it is the
problem, just rerun Cygwin's setup.exe, select the font-misc-misc package
and install it.
I find the phrase This is rarely the problem to be ironic, considering
that it seems to be the most common, based on what I've read.
The problem (lately) is that font-misc-misc is a prerequisite, but it is not
(no longer?) flagged as one by setup.exe when you choose the various xorg
packages.
The packages I installed were...
+ xauth
+ xclock
+ xcursor-themes
+ xhost
+ xinit
+ xkbcomp
+ xkeyboard-config
+ xmodmap
+ xorg-server
+ xrdb
+ xterm
None of these flagged font-misc-misc, but when I installed the font package
manually, the above packages all started working.
BUG!
