Re: How to remotly launch application with SSH and Cygwin/X server
Ok thanks for your information Larry. When I enable "Allow service to interact with desktop", If I launch from X a ssh command to Y with "firefox" it launches the Firefox window now but not in its normal form. We have the Firebox taskbar entry with the border of the application, but not the main tab. I tried with Internet Explorer and I've got the same behavior, only the taskbar entry and the border not the main page. It seems like a display bug or something else (I tried these tests on 2 different PCs and same effects...) Do you know what can cause this ? Here my test environments : Windows XP SP3 Windows Vista SP2 IE 6.0.2900 Firefox 3.5.6 I would like to share my experience with other tools : Winexe : Works well between Linux and Windows XP in interactive mode. Works on Vista but the interactive mode is not present which is prejudicial for my context. PsExec : works well but it runs only on Windows unfortunately. If you have some advices, I'm looking forward to hearing from you. -- 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/
Cygwin/X and Vista and UAC
I am trying to setup Cygwin/X for a Vista machine After setting some executables to run as administrator, and then after cleaning up some lock files and log files, the x server and applications can be run by a user with administrator privileges. BUT, 1) The x startup (by any method) throws a UAC prompt 2) A non-privileged user cannot get past the UAC prompt without the administrator password Perhaps some .manifest files would cure this? Are there any other ways to allow a non-privileged user to run cygwin in vista? Thank you M. C.

Downgrading cygwin/x and/or cygwin
Hi, I'm not sure I can provide something much more useful than the lame "it worked in a previous installation" -- that's why I consider downgrading. Here's what I can provide: - My current cygwin is version 1.7.1-1, my Cygwin/X is 1.7.3.0 - I run 'XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -emulate3buttons' - Then I use ssh to log into a remote Linux machine and start a konsole window - From the konsole I start various applications all of which work fine except one large company-owned application which crashes with a SIGSEGV - Only the application crashes, the konsole and all other running remote apps continue to work - The application works fine when I'm locally on the Linux machine I log into - It also works fine when I use Xming (version 6.9.0.31) instead of Xwin, but Xming has several other problems (e.g. clipboard) - It also worked fine on my previous PC where I had cygwin 1.5.24 with Xwin 6.8.99.901 Unless someone can provide instructions how to find the rootcause for the SIGSEGV I would consider downgrading to something close to my older version and see if that helps. I already tried to downgrade just Xwin and downloaded XWin.20081204180806.exe.bz2 and XWin.20090629103603.exe.bz2 form ftp://cygwin.com/pub/cygwinx/ but that alone did not help. A colleague has the same problem, so it's not just my installation. Is there an archive of old versions?
