Thank you for the suggestion. I did not install new firewalls. The firewall was running also before when the x-server was working correctly.
I suspect that the issue was generated trying to run Xming. I had some minor problem with Xfree (before the major issue I reported now) and I tried Xming to see if it was working better. Clearly I did not solve the problem since now nor Xming neither Xfree are working... for comparison I tried an evaluation version of a commercial x-server and it works. But it is not working as good as the cygwin-Xfree was working in the past. thanks again, any suggestion is very appreciated ---------- Initial Header ----------- From : [EMAIL PROTECTED] To : [email protected] Cc : Date : Tue, 04 Dec 2007 23:48:48 +0100 Subject : Re: helP: malfunction of the x window system > [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb: > > XWin was started with teh following command line: > > X :0 -multiwindow -clipboard > > > > _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed > > _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListener: failed to create listener for local > > > > Fatal server error: > > Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't > > already running > > > > I checked there were not other Xserver running... > > The system was working properly few day ago. > > I also tried Xming and does not work either on this computer. > > Did you install new firewall software recently? > > -- > 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/
