RE: -query not working on cygwin/windows
km4hr wrote: This is a update including further information regarding my quest to get cygwin/x to connect to my CentOS linux server via xdmcp. I believe I have isolated the problem to either cygwin/x or Windows, probably Windows because no X-server that I've tried works. I've tried cygwin/x, Xming, and X-Win32. I've isolated the problem by booting my Windows PC from a Linux LiveCD (pclos). Using the pclos X-server I successfully connected to my CentOS host using X :1 -query centos box . It works perfectly. A beautiful gdm login screen pops up immediately. I think this proves that xdmcp is configured correctly on the CentOS host and that my network is not contributing to the problem. OK. So the problem seems to be that X cannot communicate with the remote host. Do you have another host you could connect to, and if so do you have the same problem? You could try telnet remotehost 6000. If you can connect, then the X port (6000) is open, and the problem is protocol related. If you get connection refused, then the port is closed. The above successful connection seems to isolate the problem to either cygwin/x, Windows, or the combination of both. Although no one on this site has confirmed that they are actually using cygwin/x successfully in an xdmcp environment I'm assuming that it does work for somebody. I have used it successfully, but that was a few years ago. If that assumption is correct then it appears something in my Windows configuration is blocking cygwin/x, and the other X-servers, from working properly. Could it be that necessary ports on my Windows box are blocked? I have my Windows firewall turned off. But I'm not sure that disabling the firewall opens the ports. Do I even need to open certain ports on the Windows box? This is an area that I know virtually nothing about. Do you have any other security software installed? Perhaps you have http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA These are applications/drivers (often apparently nothing to do with the problem, e.g. Logitech Webcam), that inject their code into each process and cause all sorts of weird problems. Phil, you had several questions. One was, why do you want to use xdmcp?. I want to use xdmcp for the same reason anyone wants to use it and for the same reason that it exists. That is, I want to log in to a complete gnome environment. I don't want to run individual applications. That's fine. I only asked because there have been several queries over the years from people who did just want to display individual apps and thought XDMCP was the way to go because it showed up first in a web search. You suggested I contact someone who is familiar with my Linux distribution to make sure I have xdmcp set up correctly. I have already done that. I am asking many of the same questions on the CentOS forum that I'm asking here. You gave me several links to study. I've read those and more. I've been at this for days. That's good (the researching, not the outcome ;-). As with any fault finding, a lot of time can be saved if we know what has already been read/tried. You asked why I'm blaming cygwin. I don't know what I said that made you think that. It was partly your other thread about the -ac option which suggested that you though XWin was denying the access. I'm not blaming anybody or anything. I'm just trying to get a gdm login screen on my PC. I understand. Perhaps blaming was too loaded a word to use. My problem may be related to Windows security. Can you suggest a good forum where I can find an expert on that? I don't know any Windows experts personally. I'm not sure they exist. They do exist, but they come at a price. Most of the self-professed experts I see on the web are pretty poor. I think investigating the BLODA avenue is perhaps your best course of action for now. It's amazing how many of the seemingly intractable problems turn out to be caused by some dodgy app. Phil -- This email has been scanned by Ascribe PLC using Microsoft Antigen for Exchange. -- 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: -query not working on cygwin/windows
Well, I have now turned on all relevant ports in the Windows firewall. I still can't connnect. I turned on port 177(UDP) and 6000-6006(TCP). I even turned on extra ports as recommend by http://www.starnet.com/xwin32kb/What_ports_need_to_be_opened_for_XDMCP/ this source. I'm about out of ideas. I love to hear some more. I don't know how firewalls work but on the linux host side (CentOS) simplyturning off the firewall did not open the ports. I had to turn the firewall on and specify which ports to open. Otherwise no computers could connect via xdmcp over the network. Thanks for you consideration.

RE: Reproducing the cygwin X problems
From: cygwin-xfree-ow...@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-xfree-ow...@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Dan Tsafrir Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 9:36 AM Initially, the only way I was aware of to get the copy-paste functionality back was to reboot the machine. But recently I've noticed another way. I run XP's 'clipbrd', which (in the state of no copy-paste functionality) produces one of these two strange outcomes: 1) clipboard displays the following message ClipBook Viewer cannot display the information in its current format or there is not enough memory to display it. Quit one or more applications to increase the available memory, and try again. 2) clipboard is going insane, seemingly trying to endlessly scroll down (while simultaneously displaying a message saying Method Open Fai) and taking up 25-30% of the CPU. In both case, if I click the 'delete' button within the clipboard application (= clear content of clipboard) then the insane behavior stops and copy-paste starts working again as long as no cygwin X application is involved. I can neither confirm nor deny this, as I don't have ClipBook available. But the minute I highlight some text in a cygwin X application, the insane behavior within clipbrd resumes. The only way to make things normal again (that I'm aware of) is to kill cygwin/X (which, in this situation, mandates killing all cygwin applications through the task-manager, otherwise they refuse to die and just hang). I just kill Xwin.exe forcibly in task manager - it takes all X apps with it. However, the better trick I discovered recently is to click on VNC's taskbar icon and close it. Once it closes, the X applications recover and can cut-n-pste with Windows apps. Also, because VNC is VNC, no setup is lost there either - I can reconnect and my console is unharmed. I suspect the problem here may be contention between the two applications that want to share the clipboard. Our other report implicated Office clipboard, which may be doing the same thing..?

Re: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Hello Jon, Thank you for your reply. To answer your questions: 1. I have installed all fonts... My typical Cygwin installation is install, i.e., everything gets selected, both for download and installation. I have found all fonts in the right places. Only the fonts.dir files were missing. 2. Checking /var/log/setup.log... A good idea! It says up-front: Could not open service McShield for query, start and stop. McAfee may not be installed, or we don't have access. but then keeps going. Everything gets installed with no complaints. Then we get to postinstalls and... every one ends with abnormal exit: exit code=128 One, catdoc.sh, flags exit code 129, and another one, hicolor-icon-theme.sh, does not flag an abnormal exit at all. All X11 related postinstall scrips, xinit.sh, X-start-menu-icons.sh, x3270.sh, xfig.sh, xinetd.sh, and xpdf.sh flag 128 on exit. Eventually the log says Installation Complete and that's it: Here is the excerpt: 2009/02/18 17:40:30 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/xinit.sh 2009/02/18 17:42:04 abnormal exit: exit code=128 2009/02/18 17:42:04 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/X-start-menu-icons.sh 2009/02/18 17:43:38 abnormal exit: exit code=128 2009/02/18 17:43:38 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/x3270.sh 2009/02/18 17:45:12 abnormal exit: exit code=128 2009/02/18 17:45:12 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/xfig.sh 2009/02/18 17:46:46 abnormal exit: exit code=128 2009/02/18 17:46:46 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/xinetd.sh 2009/02/18 17:48:20 abnormal exit: exit code=128 2009/02/18 17:48:20 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/xpdf.sh 2009/02/18 17:49:54 abnormal exit: exit code=128 2009/02/18 17:49:54 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/zsh-profile.sh 2009/02/18 17:51:28 abnormal exit: exit code=128 2009/02/18 18:12:17 note: Installation Complete 2009/02/18 18:12:17 Ending cygwin install cygcheck --sysinfo lists the following font packages: font-adobe-dpi100 1.0.0-1 font-adobe-dpi75 1.0.0-1 font-adobe-utopia-dpi100 1.0.1-1 font-adobe-utopia-dpi75 1.0.1-1 font-adobe-utopia-type1 1.0.1-1 font-alias 1.0.1-1 font-arabic-misc 1.0.0-1 font-bh-dpi100 1.0.0-1 font-bh-dpi75 1.0.0-1 font-bh-lucidatypewriter-dpi100 1.0.0-1 font-bh-lucidatypewriter-dpi75 1.0.0-1 font-bh-ttf 1.0.0-1 font-bh-type1 1.0.0-1 font-bitstream-dpi100 1.0.0-1 font-bitstream-dpi75 1.0.0-1 font-bitstream-speedo 1.0.0-1 font-bitstream-type1 1.0.0-1 font-bitstream-vera-ttf 1.10-1 font-cronyx-cyrillic 1.0.0-1 font-cursor-misc 1.0.0-1 font-daewoo-misc 1.0.0-1 font-dec-misc 1.0.0-1 font-encodings 1.0.2-1 font-ibm-type1 1.0.0-1 font-isas-misc 1.0.0-1 font-jis-misc 1.0.0-1 font-micro-misc 1.0.0-1 font-misc-cyrillic 1.0.0-1 font-misc-meltho 1.0.0-1 font-misc-misc 1.0.0-1 font-mutt-misc 1.0.0-1 font-schumacher-misc 1.0.0-1 font-screen-cyrillic 1.0.1-1 font-sony-misc 1.0.0-1 font-sun-misc 1.0.0-1 font-util 1.0.1-1 font-winitzki-cyrillic 1.0.0-1 font-xfree86-type1 1.0.1-1 In any case, as I said above, it's not really a missing font problem, but a missing fonts.dir problem, perhaps due to the aborted postinstall scripts flagged above. The installation was carried out on Vista under an Administrator account with Account Checking switched off and the fire wall switched off, too. Other missing bits... 1. no /etc/passwd and /etc/group: fixed this with mkpasswd and mkgroup. 2. no /usr/share/misc/man.conf: copied the file from another machine; man works fine now. 3. no dir file in /usr/share/info: made one with install-info; works fine now. Other than the above hiccups, things seem to work. I have configured sshd without problems, X11 works fine now, compilation works fine too, so far. No such problems on the XP, on which I have installed the same Cygwin version only a day earlier.

RE: Reproducing the cygwin X problems
I am not explicitly running xwinclip - is there an implicit way to be running it? I would think not, that might even be an outdated warning. I don't even have xwinclip installed in my system. If you have it I would just remove it to be on the safe side. -Chris -Original Message- From: cygwin-xfree-ow...@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-xfree-ow...@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Mike Ayers Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 3:24 PM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: RE: Reproducing the cygwin X problems From: cygwin-xfree-ow...@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-xfree-ow...@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Williams, Chris (Marlboro) Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 12:19 PM There is also a warning about not usign xwinclip with the -clipboard switch I am not explicitly running xwinclip - is there an implicit way to be running it?
