Re: cygwin-x xterm not compatible with windows 7? Solution Found

2009-12-09 Thread wgweis 

Hi All:

   I fixed this problem.  I was using the cygwin beta 1.7.  I reinstalled 
cygwin using the last stable release, 1.5.25.

I also had to add the sleep 5 line to startxwin.bat and startxwin.sh.

   So, I guess this is a defect to log against the 1.7 beta:  the xterm 
executable can't seem to connect to shared memory

for windows 7, home edition.

George

I turned off UAC, or so I am told.

The server seems to start up OK.  But xterm cannot access the shared 
memory? I ran this from the Cygwin.bat and got this stack dump.

I don't believe there is a workaround, unfortunately.  Vista has the

Isn't this just UAC?  You can turn that off for a user if you want.

Note on 1.7 startxwin.bat

2009-12-09 Thread Mike Ayers 

Just thought I'd throw this out for those of you having trouble 
starting the X server.  I had been using the stock icon to launch the X server, 
which shortcuts to:

C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/startxwin.bat

This worked fine, except that the xterm did not appear.  I could click 
the xterm icon, and that xterm would appear.  After a little testing, I found 
that changing it to:

C:\cygwin\bin\startxwin.bat

...caused server startup with the xterm.  Setting the shortcut to run 
minimized mitigated the pop-and-poof console.


HTH,

Mike
