Re: X connections reset on PC sleep

It’s extremely inconvenient to have to recreate all my windows if I happen to step away from the system for a while. I’m running the X clients under a Ubuntu VM (VMware Player), in case that is significant. I'm afraid that the X protocol doesn't have any way for a running client to detach and reconnect to a server. If one end of the connection goes to sleep, the connection will be broken. I don't think there's anything particularly cygwin-specific about this X server behaviour. It's not clear to me from what you write if the Ubuntu VM is on the same PC as the cygwin X server. If so, it might be that there is some kind of problem with the order in which things are allowed to resume (e.g. the client program resumes before the virtual networking path to the X server is available, or something) You might find using xpra or VNC to connect to an X server running on the VM, an adequate workaround, as they allow you to disconnect and reconnect. Alternatively you could arrange for sleeping to be suspended while the X server is running (It seems on Win7 or later you can use powercfg -requestsoverride to prevent sleep while a specified program is running, or there are several simple utilities available which prevent suspend while they are running) -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- 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/

Good to know somebody gave it the TLC it deserved. I use it with pidgin, xterm, rdesktop, and occasionally firefox so it's possible that it doesn't work well with more sophisticated apps. But, the developer seems pretty responsive so it seems like any reported problems have a chanced of being fixed. I use it to check cygwin problems when I'm at work and my cygwin machine is at home. One minor problem is that the support for various platforms is spotty. I've had to build packages for OpenSUSE myself and the packages for gentoo often lag the release by months. Anyway, this is off-topic but I thought that I'd spread the word about this app. I used to use the freenx stuff but I was always tinkering with it. xpra, for me, just works. cgf -- 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/
