Although I'm not certain it's a good idea in general. Every piece of advice is welcome, I'd appreciate it. Tom, Contrary to the popular belief and the unfortunate naming, the X server is not really a server. Uh? And it just happens to be based on Xorg-X11 (previuosly XFree86). It is an application that accepts requests from other applications (called the X clients) and draws them on the screen. And the window manager is usually the X client sending requests. The user application goes to the middleman (window manager), which in Cygwin X is part of the server (but another window manager can be used optionally, like WindowMaker for instance). This means that it needs to have access to the Windows desktop (which is one of the reasons it cannot successfully run as a service). And the -i parameter of cygrunsrv wouldn't help because... You are probably better off with your current setup. It is probably not easy to do what the OP asked, and I haven't even tried but I think it is possible. First you have to know what you really want: running X as service will not magically produce a login window if you try to connect from another machine, and setting up gnome-session/xsm/ksmserver is probably not easy. But that is not a good objective anyway, if you wanted something like that you use any Unix OS. But, for an already logged in user, I think it just works (meaning a running X server will allow to open X applications). I do something similar, not a service that starts on boot, but a background X server that is running without the usual xterm that you can't close (the next step would be to test cygrunsrv with, and w/o, the -i option). -- René Berber -- 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/

The reason it works from some computers and not from others is that even if the X server exists at myipaddress:0.0 it could be blocked by any firewall between computers; the ssh tunnel is the way to avoid being blocked.

Should I be using ssh -X for this type of application do you think? Again, your first post says something different: that you are using ssh. Try to keep the facts clear, if you don't understand why using netstat can help, say so, if you don't see anything on netstat's output maybe you are right or maybe you don't know what to look for. The description from Microsoft doesn't say clearly if it is the number of open connections or the speed of opening connections. If it is the number then it's easy to see with netstat; if it is the number/time then the number will not be that great but then the problem is probably a loop in your script or somewhere, XWin only opens a couple of connections, with ssh -X it's only one connection. -- René Berber -- 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/

If it's X-capable, which I believe the Cygwin emacs executable isn't. And the Cygwin xemacs package uses Win32 instead of X. Wrong, the xemacs shipped as Cygwin package can use both. And the answer to the OP is yes. Sun's javaw runs native windows, not xwindows. Is there a way I can run GUI java programs on windows using xwindows so they are compatible with xhost and ssh -X? Only via remote desktop (Google for rdesktop). Uh? Of course any Xwindows application can display on Cygwin's X server, java applications are just that, except many have an ugly default setting on window size and position (they use size 0x0 for instance) but that seems to be corrected in newer applications. I've been reading about gcj and that might work but it looks like I'd have to recompile everything myself. I want to run eclipse on windows from a remote machine and I see in fedora core 4 they have recompiled eclipse with gcj. But I was hoping I would not have to recompile eclipse from the source. You may have to (or use rdesktop). Eclipse running in a remote Linux machine can be shown fine on a local X server. Yes, Eclipse is being compiled with gcj (version 4.1.x not available currently under Cygwin) but that has nothing to do with showing Eclipse running on Linux. Does cygwin have a javax program that runs GUI java programs under xwindows? Unfortunately, no. When and if Sun open-sources its Java VM, it may or may not be buildable on Cygwin. But until then, you won't have Java over X from Windows. Sort of a cross-compiler but instead of code the cross targets display manager... sounds doable with gcj, even the old versions. But AFAIK no body has done it, all the development of gcj for Windows has been done under MingW, which by the way also has its own X server, but even there the AWT and Swing stuff has been replaced with SwingWT. -- René Berber -- 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/

XWin seems to get the user's home directory (perhaps only the user name) from the shell environment, so it can run the user's .xinitrc . An option that I have not tested is to change the global xinitrc and see if that works. Of course being the global one means that all users on that computer will get the same application, but if you are the only user of X then that's no problem. The global script is in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc . C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /usr/X11R6/bin/ startx -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 do not work because startx is a script not an .exe Yeah, I tried that too. C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /usr/local/bin/ sylpheed-claws.exe -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 start SC for a second. I can see this in the task-manager. The message must be: no DISPLAY found since X windows is not running and by default all applications try display :0.0 . I think it is not possible to start SC from one icon without typing something Like I said: it can be done with 2 icons, one to start X and another to start SC. In fact you can start all the X applications you want after starting X. Now for the network problem, that is really strange, I saw your other message and understand that you can't troubleshoot the network. I really was thinking of troubleshooting in the regular way, on a terminal window, but if only SC has problems then perhaps is a timeout or some option that can be set inside SC. -- René Berber -- 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/

Looking at the generated listboxeditor.cpp (and at the KDE package), it seems that uic doesn't compile .ui files correctly, resulting in the above gcc errors. Actually is more complicated than that, uic sometimes runs perfectly, then fails like above (except that with a snapshot, previous to latest release, it deadlocked on a mutex). In fact if you look at the output above the failure, uic ran many times generating .h files and I've seen that it does generate a few .cpp files before it fails. Even more strange, I've seen it run on the same file that it failed before when I ran it by hand, but not always... I'm not sure if that means that it corrupts something in the shared memory set by cygwin1.dll, I really don't know how that works. Running the uic command to generate this code in gdb, I get a bunch of SIGSEGV in pthread_mutex* functions in cygwin1.dll, then: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x713f33a4 in QRealMutexPrivate::QRealMutexPrivate () from /home/Yaakov/src/kde/qt/3/qt-x11-free-3.3.4/.build/bin/cygqt-mt-3.dll The offending code is in src/tools/qmutex_unix.cpp (which has absolutely no changes from 3.3.4 to 3.3.5).

Qt4 is totally different and incompatible with qt3 (but will be parallel installable, once I get working on it). Let's get this working first, though. Looks like the path of least resistance is looking at cygwin1.dll changes. I prefer to use gdb, that's why I installed the cygwin code and made a debug qt library. Any idea why the debug library works? I already tought that the optimization may be doing something wrong, but your notes above point in another direction.

Re: Mutex lock failure: Resource deadlock avoided
jcliburn (sent by Nabble.com) wrote:
This is my first post here; if I'm in the wrong forum, pat me on the head and

Right forum for qt3, wrong forum for kde.
The distinction is that qt3 is an official Cygwin package while KDE is from the
Cygwin Ports project.
The ports project http://cygwinports.dotsrc.org/ has its own mail list at:
http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=99645
but read below.
I recently upgraded Cygwin (sorry, but I don't know what version I was
running before) and several packages to the current versions. Now KDE 3.4 is
badly broken. As part of the effort to fix things, I completely removed
Cygwin by deleting c:/cygwin and reinstalling from scratch (including kde3.4
and qt3.3, which was and is installed in c:/cygwin/opt). When I try to start
a single kde app (or just about *any* kde app, for that matter), I always get
$ kwrite
DCOP: register 'kwrite-3792' - number of clients is now 1
kio (KSycoca): kwrite : kapp available
kio (KSycoca): Trying to open ksycoca from /var/tmp/kdecache-u4ih9jkc/ksycoca
Mutex lock failure: Resource deadlock avoided
Looks familiar.
Mutex lock failure: Resource deadlock avoided
Mutex lock failure: Resource deadlock avoided
kio (KLauncher): KLauncher: Got start_service_by_desktop_name('knotify', ...)
accompanied by a pop-up error message in the X root window: A KDE
text-editor component could not be found; please check your KDE installation.
I saw a similar thread in this forum about mutex problems, but it was
slightly different, and it involved a different app (scribus).
[snip]
The error after Resource deadlock avoided is probably meaningless. My
experience with Scribus is that the application silently ended, another (QT3's
uic) deadlocked.
The solution I found for Scribus was to recompile QT with debug enabled, the
package building failed but the library was produced. Using that QT library
results in Scribus working fine... but with uic is another story, a very strange
story: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
I haven't debug any further but with gdb it looks like it's a thread problem
(the problem seems to be in some inline C++ code that is difficult to work
with). So another solution could be to build QT with no thread support (if that
makes sense and works).
I'm interested in this, but don't have much time. If I can help just ask, I
could show the way I built the debug version of the QT library for instance, and
I could do some testing if needed.
Regards.

Actually I am able to start the xserver and to start applications like nedit

That's a very different problem.
After you login to the remote machine execute echo $DISPLAY, it usually is
wrong or at least that is my experience when using ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]
to a
Solaris server... I even put into the remote machine's .bashrc :
if [ $TERM = 'rxvt' ]; then
TERM=xterm; export TERM
fi
if [ $TERM = 'xterm' ]; then
DISPLAY=`who am i | cut -f2 -d'(' | cut -f1 -d')'`:0.0; export DISPLAY

Test it before you use it; as I said this was for a Solaris server (which didn't
know what a rxvt term was), it may not work on other Unix version.

But those messages and the uic hanging do point out that there are problems with pthreads as used by qt3. I haven't seen if the changes to qt from 3.3.4 to 3.3.5 and to 4.0.1 address any of these problems.

Re: Serious X problem, cannot start xterm.

Probably the same reason causes the issue I have with ssh here: $ ssh sourceware.org ssh: sourceware.org: no address associated with name lost connection Seems unrelated to the startup scripts. The problem should be with whatever cygminires.dll depends on to resolve names or with changed firewall settings (can't query DNS server because port 53 is not open), it could also be in /etc/hosts for the case where localhost is not defined as 127.0.0.1.

Re: scribus: cygjpeg-62.dll not found
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Erich Dollansky wrote: [snip] The new problem is now that Scribus consumes all of the CPU time and does not show up at all. Have you tested any other X Windows application? I also noticed the .qt directory in the home directory of the user is empty. Shouldn't there be some kind of settings stored? ~/.qt is empty, no problem there, you can set some options running /usr/lib/qt3/bin/qtconfig.exe but it's not necessary. Do I have to run first some kind of desktop to get Scribus running? No, just start the X server. But if you don't start the X server the application just ends printing that it couldn't find the display, so that is not the problem you describe. In /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/scribus-1.2.3.README there is a list of requirements, usually setup.exe just downloads the requirements if they are not already installed but perhaps you have some old version of some of those, better check manually (I mean using setup.exe or cygcheck to see what version you have installed).

Mutex init failure trying to run Scribus
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I just installed Scribus from ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/cygwinports, no problem with the install, but when I tried to run it I got the: Mutex init failure: Invalid argument after the splash screen displays for a while and the application really starts. Anyone seen this? Any solutions?

It seems to happen with all C++ Qt or KDE apps; PyQt apps (e.g. convertall, also available through Cygwin Ports) don't generate this message. Despite the message, the programs seem to run correctly anyways. You mean Scribus runs anyway? Perhaps I missed something, I didn't see any window or anything else appear. Anyway I'm recompiling Scribus from sources, let's see if the invalid argument is catched on the source, probably not but I want to rule out that the version of Cygwin I'm using (one of the snapshots) didn't change something that affected this.

Yaakov S (Cygwin Ports) wrote: [snip] WFM: http://cygwinports.dotsrc.org/screenshots/scribus.jpg Nice! I don't get anything, but perhaps it has to do with my setting CYGWIN=error_start:c:/cygwin/bin/dumper.exe (which is not catching anything). [snip] FWIW, I built scribus with stock Cygwin 1.5.18-1. I'm almost certain this has to do with Qt itself, not with any individual program. If you're interested in helping look into this, I'd say to grab the qt3-3.3.4-2-src package and try to find the problem there. OK, I'll do a debug version of that lib. Wrt what I said earlier about all C++ Qt programs being affected, that appears to be not 100% true: xxdiff (yes, also available at Cygwin Ports) does not show this message; perhaps it doesn't use Qt threads. Yes the Mutex init should be used only in threaded apps. In any case, I can't do it this minute, but I hope that early next week I can look into this further. Thanks. I'll report later if I find something. -- René Berber -- 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/
