X server crashing -- winClipboardProc - Call to select () failed: -1. Bailing.
X windows had been stable for quite a while for me( in continuous use, days, sometimes weeks at at time). Over the past couple of weeks it's begun crashing fairly regularly. The XWin.log has these final statements in it: winClipboardProc - Call to select () failed: -1. Bailing. winClipboardProc - XDestroyWindow succeeded. winClipboardIOErrorHandler! Anyone have any pointers to what may have changed/be causing this? My startxwin.sh calls XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error cygcheck.out attached.

Problem with running application over SSH tunnel?
Hello all, I'm having a bit of a strange problem, maybe somebody can help me out... I am running the latest updated cygwin on my windows XP SP2 desktop machine. I'm ssh'ing (ssh -X or ssh -Y) into our AIX 5.1 box. I'm trying to run the eclipse IDE. The application launches fine, but it does not seem to accept any input from me (mouse clicks and key presses seem to do nothing). The strange thing is that I'm able to run other applications over the tunnel just fine. I am pretty sure it's a cygwin X server problem because I had another guy in the office with a linux box do the exact same thing as me, and he is able to launch the application just fine.

Re: Problem Starting X-Windows -- Problem solved
René Berber r.berber at computer.org writes: wonder wrote: [snip] I have a similar problem with startx or whichever way to start X. It was all ok before. The problem happened since yesterday. It probably has to do with the installation of the McAfee Privacy Service module. This module might have changed some settings on my computer. The symptom is that you can launch X applications, but nothing pops out. There are one or more instances of sh.exe running with (nearly) 100% CPU usage. Once you kill all sh.exe processes, the xterms will show up on your desktop. But anything that relies on sh.exe will not be able to run. For example, you can try SSH with X11 forwarding enabled. But it will invoke sh.exe and therefore won't get connected until you kill the newly invoked sh.exe. Unfortunately, the X11 tunnel will be broken after sh.exe is killed. I hope I have described clearly. Anybody has a solution? No, it's not clear. 1. Does XWin starts fine? (is your question really about a problem starting XWin?) 2. How do you launch X applications? (there shouldn't be any sh.exe started if you run something else) 3. Does disabling McAfee helps? Just read a little further on this issue. It turns out that SSH.EXE does call sh.exe or cmd.exe in order to pass certain parameters. But I don't know in which case ssh.exe does which. Somewhere I remember it says when sh.exe is available, ssh.exe will launch it. So my simple solution is just to rename sh.exe to something else. Then everything goes back to normal, and ssh.exe does not complain at all about missing sh.exe. PS. I cannot find a way to uninstall the McAfee Privacy Service component alone (once installed) without uninstalling the entire McAfee package. I did some tests before I found the above solution. It seems any other X applications (e.g., xterm) launches fine once XWin is up and running (after one kills sh.exe), as long as this application does not call sh.exe. One thing I didn't describe accurately in my last post was that the X tunneling was actually NOT broken after sh.exe was killed. I hope this info is useful to other people who suffer from the same sh.exe problem. -- 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/
