Issues since last update of cygwin - clipboard, crashing
Windows 7 Professional, I updated cygwin on the weekend of Oct 4 and am now having issues with cygwin X, mostly with the clipboard. I am running with no root window (XWin.exe) I have two different systems (home and work), one running cygwin 64 bit and the other cygwin 32 bit. Both have these issues. 1) frequent clipboard timeouts when querying the x-selection for something in the Windows clipboard 2) After an hour or two, the X-selection no longer appears in the windows clipboard, so I have to restart everything 3) cygwin X freezes - all windows are light grey and not responding 4) cygwin x has crashed a few times. These are all new symptoms since Oct 4. I have been using this set up for years with few problems. Is this a known problem that is being fixed?

X11 crashing - no errors in log file
X11 has been crashing on me in 2 cases since upgrading to 1.16.1-1 1) Using 'xv' on any image. I compiled this myself and it was running fine in the past, but now when I try to open any image, all of X11 crashes. I tried to recompile it, but same issue. Nothing is showing up in the XWin.0.log 2) Using 'rdesktop' to a remote Windows host and then selecting and hitting 'Ctrl-C' on a list of files. About 2 seconds after the Ctrl-C, X11 crashes (again, nothing in XWin.0.log). Is there additional debugging I can turn on to try to catch the error that is happening? -- Nem W Schlecht -- 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: FW: Cygwin start menu / mirrors‏
On 04/10/2014 18:16, t s wrote: first of all, regarding the Cygwin setup program; the options are install / re-install / un-install / default is it correct that to install only the latest updates, I would choose the option 'default' ? I'm not sure what text you are looking at. The options for an individual package which is already installed are 'reinstall', 'uninstall', 'keep' and specific versions other than the currently installed one (if any). I can't see default anywhere. If you mean the default version, then yes, when curr is selected at the top, all packages which have updates, will be updated. The current version of the setup program, 2.850 (64 bit), on the select packages screen, features a default option. Please see; http://cpm86.com/default.jpg The four options are; Install; Reinstall; Uninstall; Default I just want to be sure; to install only the latest updates, I would choose 'Default' ? next question : if I delete the start menu option Cygwin/x and run the setup program for option default, it doesn't re-create the start menu option Cygwin/x is this 'feature' acknowledged, and is it being addressed? The start menu link for for the X server is owned by the package xinit. If you reinstall that package, it should be recreated. That's the answer I was looking for. Thank you. I have a further question. Choosing menu item Cygwin-X / X Win Server boots X windows. If you right click on the 'X' icon in the lower right side of the screen, it features applications xterm / emacs / notepad / xload. Is it possible to tailor the list of applications referenced above? to include say xclock, xeyes And yet another question; I note the presence of a number of files in \usr\bin which start with 'gnome'. Does Cygwin/x feature gnome or kde as user interfaces? or does it only allow compilation of apps which use features of those interfaces?
Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: xorg-server-1.16.1-2
I just remembered that my version of xv has been modified to place the current image filename in the X11 clipboard. That might have been the cause of the issue. Regardless, my crashes seem to have gone away with this update. Thanks for all the hard work on Cygwin X11!

Re: X11 crashing - no errors in log file
I also have been getting crashes, but I can't figure out what is causing it. I opened Microsoft Word, and X just crashed in the background. It's happened twice now, but the first time, I can't remember what I did to make it happen. Note that I have Cygwin 1.16 running on a Windows 7 laptop, and I often close the lid to hibernate until later. I started X with -logverbose 3, but I haven't had it crash, yet. I'll send the log when it crashes, presuming it does before I run out of disk space. :-) Chris Carlson On 10/8/2014 11:51 AM, Nem W Schlecht wrote: X11 has been crashing on me in 2 cases since upgrading to 1.16.1-1 1) Using 'xv' on any image.
