Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkobject.c: line 1034 - Something missing?
Hi, I'am trying to run xmms on a remote linux while the gui is on my local cygwin-xfree. Xmms (1.2.10) starts well and is visible. When I try to load mp3's into the playlist the file selection windows opens. After selecting a file I get the following message: Gtk-WARNING **: invalid class type `gchar' in cast to `GtkObject' Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkobject.c: line 1034 (gtk_object_set_data): assertion `GTK_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed. GTK and GTK2 are installed in the latest versions. Also the GTK Theme Engine. Anybody has any Idea what I'am missing QT3, Framebuffer or something else? I ask because I'am running out of space on the USB Stick where I run Cygwin-X after installing so much more Xfree stuff.

hmm - apparently you don't aspire to being a senior of any category, I do but I wouldn't claim to be one for myself. Maybe I'am a senior or I'am just getting old. But two years that's like beeing a expert of chinise culture because I once did make a holiday there. with your poor grammar, spelling and Sorry for that but it's not my motherlanguage and I haven't used it for a while and people seem to be able to understand it anyway. attitude. Only sometimes especially early in the morning before I had my first coffee. He only has to read what's on the screen to see what is wrong and start the Windoze shared memory server which can be done in different ways but - most of the time when he did the recommended installation for all users. Then everything should be fine. later he can controll his success loking into Performance and Maintenance/Administrative Tools/Services where he should find a service named CYGWIN cygserver which will only run whenn he did the installation for all users. for the attitude: Afterwards he can claim to be a expert in Windoze and Cygwin.

When XWin gets a signal it's bailing. If you remove whatever causes the signal XWin won't fail. Here's the page. http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygserver.html Thanks for the compliment.

Re: windows XP : cygwin -X server not opening
I thought you're off working for a real company. The lines I was refering to are: MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory And this imo does cause XWin to fail. But at least we have a real expert here. Shame on me ...

Since you are so keen on urging others to read the documentation, I suggest you do so yourself before criticising others. If you had done so, you would have seen in http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using-shared-memory.html that: ~ XWin.exe will not use Shared Memory if the CYGWIN does not contain ~ the server keyword. Starting XWin.exe with ~ CYGWIN=server XWin.exe ~ will enable Shared Memory support if the cygserver service is running. Shared memory use is OPTIONAL. This is also implied by the log entry.

Re: windows XP : cygwin -X server not opening
Your opinion is worth how much squat? Diddley? Not really but I wasn't flamed in years and my Internetcomputer needed some stress testing and hacking tries by experts. Thanks for all the effort. I have been running XWin without shared memory support for years without fault. In fact, my experience is that it is MORE reliable without it. It is also pretty stable with SHM and imo he need SHM to get his XWin up again. I had a similar problem when I was trying to use Thai fonts. ~ CYGWIN=server XWin.exe I know. Do they know? I posted this accidently today in the Re: Shutting down XWin after session? (-once option) which is much more interresting. Shared memory use is OPTIONAL. It is when XWin is running. But if something needs SHM within the starup of XWin the XWin startup will fail. There always two kind of people. The ones who really don't know how to do it. Help them. The ones who should know how to do it but to lazy to figure it out for themselves. A Senior should be able to solve the problem.

Re: windows XP : cygwin -X server not opening
To make a long story short: My Questions are: Whats causing the null screen fn ReparentWindow null screen fn RestackWindow how can InitQueue - Calling pthread_mutex_init InitQueue - pthread_mutex_init returned InitQueue - Calling pthread_cond_init InitQueue - pthread_cond_init returned work without running cygserver? and also winInitMultiWindowWM - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () work when there is no cyserver running? Cygserver is responsible to deliver the following services. * XSI IPC Message Queues. * XSI IPC Semaphores. * XSI IPC Shared Memory. According to http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygserver.html His XWin doesn't run thru winDetectSupportedEngines. It does something else which is based on Ques and Semaphores from the Log and would also like to use shared memory MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel Step 1. /usr/bin/cygserver-config Setp 2 set the CYGWIN environment variable to server export CYGWIN=server Step 3 Make sure cygserver is really running as XP Service Control Panel/Performance and Maintenance/Services CYGWIN cygserver Start XWin again and if it not works try the firewall solution which somebody mentioned earlier.

Re: windows XP : cygwin -X server not opening
I really don't know if the select () which fails is used on a Network fd or one of the queue fd's within InitQueue. But the final error may be just the result of the previous errors. There is a good chance that it is this way because the error happens within winClipboardProc which usually is on the local machine not on the network. Alex http://www.aiengine.org You did know that?

menu does not come up
When I start Xwin from command line, a root window comes up but then nothing happens. I click the mouse button hoping to get a menu to open a shell, but nothing happens when I click the mouse.

Re: menu does not come up
You have to start a shell also. Try startx insteed of a plain XWin. Xwin only starts the root window so nothing wrong with that.

Re: menu does not come up
startx does open a window; however, I was hoping to open multiple shell in one window. In the old version of Cygwin/X that I had, if I stated X, then one large window would come up and then I can use the menu that came up with a click of a mouse button to open a shell.

Is this no longer possible? You're thinking of running Xwin in rootless mode with an external window manager -- whichever window manager you had (e.g., openbox). Yes, it's still possible, you just have to specify the right parameters to Xwin.exe in startxwin.bat. -- 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: menu does not come up - Running rootless with an external window manager
I notice at the website x.cygwin.com, there is a screenshot with openbox window manager? Is that part of cgwin/X distribution or do I need to purchase or download that from somewhere? And what would I need to do to run an external window manager? I am really interested in running in a rootless mode with an external window manager. Thank you, you guys have been very helpful.

Is that part of cgwin/X distribution or do I need to purchase or download that from somewhere? The Cygwin Setup program offers at least WindowMaker, fvwm, and openbox. No idea how well any of them work, but it's easy enough to test them out. And what would I need to do to run an external window manager? You'd have to tell Xwin to run in rootless mode, and you'd have to run the appropriate external window manager, both in startxwin.bat.
