Re: Problem with X (disappears) and Sun Directory Server Console
Thanks, Jim. Maybe that was the reason why after creating the new user it worked also. Too bad I did not look into the environment variables. I had used that user for a long time and I am sure it was infested with many non-compliant junk.

Problem with X (disappears) and Sun Directory Server Console
Hi, I'm new here, but I'm trying to use Cygwin X to access the administration console for Sun Directory Server 6.1. I run startxwin.bat, get the xterm window, run "xhost +" and then SSH to the server, export DISPLAY, and start the console using a command called "startconsole". This causes the console GUI to appear but when I type in my username/password, everything, including the original xterm window disappears. I've tried access the admin console using Hummingbird Exceed, and that seems to work fine. This problem only occurs when I use Cygwin X. The XWin.log file has the following in it after this happens: _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root _XSERVTransmkdir: Mode of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to 1777 (II) XF86Config is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information winAdjustVideoModeShadowGDI - Using Windows display depth of 16 bits per pixel winAllocateFBShadowGDI - Creating DIB with width: 1024 height: 768 depth: 16 winInitVisualsShadowGDI - Masks f800 07e0 001f BPRGB 6 d 16 bpp 16 null screen fn ReparentWindow null screen fn RestackWindow InitQueue - Calling pthread_mutex_init InitQueue - pthread_mutex_init returned InitQueue - Calling pthread_cond_init InitQueue - pthread_cond_init returned winInitMultiWindowWM - Hello winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Hello winInitMultiWindowWM - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () 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 (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "0409" (0409) (--) Using preset keyboard for "English (USA)" (409), type "4" (--) 3 mouse buttons found Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list! winInitMultiWindowWM - pthread_mutex_lock () returned. winProcEstablishConnection - Hello winInitClipboard () winProcEstablishConnection - winInitClipboard returned. winClipboardProc - Hello DetectUnicodeSupport - Windows NT/2000/XP winInitMultiWindowWM - pthread_mutex_unlock () returned. winMultiWindowXMsgProc - pthread_mutex_lock () returned. winClipboardProc - DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 winInitMultiWindowWM - DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 winMultiWindowXMsgProc - pthread_mutex_unlock () returned. winMultiWindowXMsgProc - DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 winMultiWindowXMsgProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display. winInitMultiWindowWM - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display. winClipboardProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display. winProcSetSelectionOwner - Clipboard not yet started, aborting. winProcSetSelectionOwner - Clipboard not yet started, aborting. winMultiWindowXMsgProcErrorHandler - ERROR: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) winMultiWindowXMsgProcErrorHandler - ERROR: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) winMultiWindowXMsgProcErrorHandler - ERROR: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) winMultiWindowXMsgProcErrorHandler - ERROR: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) winMultiWindowXMsgProcErrorHandler - ERROR: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) winMultiWindowXMsgProcErrorHandler - ERROR: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) winMultiWindowXMsgProcErrorHandler - ERROR: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) winClipboardProc - winClipboardFlushWindowsMessageQueue trapped WM_QUIT message, exiting main loop. winClipboardProc - XDestroyWindow succeeded. winMultiWindowXMsgProcIOErrorHandler! winInitMultiWindowXMsgProc - Caught IO Error.
