Re: _X11TransOpen: unable to find transport for tcp

[Marco atzeri]

Hi,

 I am unable to start xterms, rxvts, emacs  in
my
 cygwin/X install. I receive the message


 _X11TransOpen: unable to find transport for tcp
 xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:0

 Don't use localhost. Try
 export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
 instead.

this does not work either. The problem does not
appear
to lie with the proper setting of the DISPLAY
variable; I can launch things like xeyes. Rather it's
with the X11TransOpen error that occurs when I try to
run xterm or rxvt.

Juergen

I have found similar problems due to incomplete 
dependencies on some cygport package.

Check which library xterm needs 

cygcheck xterm.exe 

and if some cygport library in /usr/bin 
mask the standard library in /usr/X11/bin

if so, one solution and one workaround:
- find the missing cygport additional program
  and install it
- rename the library in /usr/bin

 Hello again,
 
 
 The keyboard issue is not sorted out (and it does
 not work with nedit
 either). Cannot find this XKEY..., neither in the
 window environment
 nor using cygcheck -c -s -r
 
 A bit strange. Is it an option to go back to the
 previous X11

It was declared in the old 
/usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat

it has been removed in the new 
/usr/bin/startxwin.bat

 Hello,
 
 Interesting. I quit cygwin including killing the
 X-server. Restarted
 my cygwin by double clicking the cygwin icon,
 executed startxwin.sh,
 which prompted an X-window to open, in which I can
 now type !
 
 Going back to the cygwin window in which I typed the
 startxwin.sh
 command, I can now open xemacs successfully and can
 edit. This seems
 like a solution.
 
 So, the x-server shortcut on the desktop may be at
 odds. This one has
 the following characteristics:
 Target type: MS-DOS batch file
 Target location: Singular
 Target: C:\cygwin\lib\Singular\startxserver.bat
 Start in: C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin
 
 Should I change somethings there ?

I assume 

Target: C:\cygwin\bin\startxwin.bat
Start in: C:\cygwin\bin

Re: Problem with OpenGL on new X serverl

[Marco Atzeri]

--- Florent Fievez  ha scritto:

 Hello,
 
 I have a crash when opening OpenGL. I have the same
 configuration than you :
 ssh -X host ; XWin with glx extension activated.
 
 Some of my investigations :
 
 1. It's not caused by the X client OS (SunOS and
 Linux give the same crash)
 2. It's not a problem with our application, glxinfo
 produce the same problem
 3. It seems that the message GetWindowProp - pWin
 or name was NULL
 is displayed before the crash, see my log in
 attachement.

I don't think 3 is related to you crash.
I see multiple lines with

GetWindowProp - pWin or name was NULL

for any window that I create, not only GL
related. 

6 lines for glxgears and gnuplot
8 lines for rxvt

And I have no crash

R: starxwin.bat always misfires the xterm once

 Da: Franz di Coccio 
 Oggetto: starxwin.bat always misfires the xterm once
 A: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com
 Data: Lunedì 16 febbraio 2009, 11:08
 Hi all,
 
  I have installed cygwin-x on windows XP and I'm pretty
 much happy about it.
 There is only one little annoying thing that I am not able
 to fix.
 I use cygwin-x to ssh into linux systems and occasionally
 launch
 remote applications.
 I do not use a x-desktop.
 
 I've added an icon to the quick-launch windows toolbar
 pointing to
 startxwin.bat.
 Pressing that icon should launch cygwin-x and open a xterm.
 It does so on my other window box, running win 2000.
 
 However, on windows xp there seems to be some glitch. The
 first time I
 launch the cygwin-x
 icon after booting the OS, no xterm pops up. At least, not
 immediatly.

I have a similar issue.
It is probably due to Xwin not yet ready when xterm
tries to verify the existence of a X server

try to add 

%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin\sleep 4

so a 4 second delay (or what ever value is fine for 
you system) before

%RUN% xterm -e /usr/bin/bash -l

this should allow xterm to find a ready Xwin.

 I've been waiting
 a few minutes, but no trace of xterm all the same.
 The xserver is running, though. I can launch an xterm from
 by right
 clicking the small X icon
 in the icon tray, but it opens in /usr/X11R6/bin, prompting
 bash-3.2$.
 
 If I close the xserver and launch it a second time, all
 goes as I expect to.
 The xserver is started again, and an xterm almost
 immediatly pops out
 as required
 in startxwin.bat. The xterm correctly starts from my home
 directory.
 
 Therefore I always have to launch cygwin-x, shut down the
 server and
 launch it again.
 As I mention, this double launching is not
 necessary in win 2000.
 The xterm pops up the first time I launch startxwin.bat.
 
 Is this a known problem? I've tried to search the
 mailing list but
 came up with nothing.
 Perhaps I've used the wrong search terms.
 
 Thanks a lot for any help
 
 F

Marco

R: Automatically starting CYGWIN with OpenSSH

[Marco Atzeri]

--- Ven 11/6/10, MaverickUK82 ha scritto:

 
 Hi guys,
 
 I'm new to CYGWIN and this forum.

This is not a forum, but a mailing list,
and you are using the wrong one:

cygwin-xfree is for X on cygwin

you should use just cygwin at cygwin dot com
for your problem.

 
 Sorry to ask questions immediatley after joining - but I'm
 at my wits end.
 
 I am currently running windows vista x64.
 
 I would like cygwin (well, OpenSSH really) to start up with
 my computer. So
 I can access the SSH server (remotely) without having to
 log into my vista
 PC and manually starting Cygwin and OpenSSH.
 
 I am thinking maybe via runservices registry key with a
 switch at the end to
 start OpenSSH. Although I am new to this and appreciate
 there maybe a better
 way.
 
 Hope someone can help!
 
 

/usr/bin/ssh-host-config

will install ssh as service.

In the gcc-3 era the C++ timing performance were really poor, gcc-4

 I follow the development of ROOT under Cygwin since ROOT-3, and there wasn't
 really big problems: each time, when prompted, they was always fixed by ROOT
 people.

 The performances of ROOT under Cygwin are good enough (at least with by
 builds with gcc4 compilers). Obviously Cygwin isn't a native GNU/Linux and
 often the performances are influenced by AV security applications..

 Ciao,

the last is true but AntiVirus affect negatively also native

so it is not a cygwin problem.

I am in the Administrators group, so raw sockets should work.  We do run

check using cygwin ping, if this fail than something is blocking
the communication.

The windows ping has more authorization so it could
misses the problem.

Hey cygwin-x folks,

   I just installed the xorg-server-1.11.4-5, and I
thought that some aspect of its configuration may have
broken the xfig program on my box.  This however was
untrue.  When I reverted to xorg-server-1.11.4-1, the
xfig crashed on startup as before, and I concluded
that it must be a difficulty only with xfig.

   I am running on a Dell Optiplex 380 with an Intel
Core2 E7500 2.93 GHz CPU, 4.0 GBt DRAM and an 150 GBt
Western Digital HD.  The OS is WinXp Pro. 32-bit, and
is fully up-to-date.  My CygWin installation is 1.7.10-1,
the xorg-server is 1.11.4-5, and everything in that
sub-system is up-to-date.

   The xfig is a minor part of the things I use,
but I do like to have it around.  It fails to start,
issuing the messages:


gbarrick@TS207 ~/figs/sqaccel
$ xfig sqposn.fig
[1] 2904

gbarrick@TS207 ~/figs/sqaccel
$ /usr/bin/xfig.exe: error while loading shared libraries:
?: cannot open shared object file:
  No such file or directory


I ran the cygcheck on the xfig package, but it claims
that none of the required resources or libraries are
missing.


$ cygcheck xfig
Found: D:\cygwin\bin\xfig.exe

   D:\cygwin\bin\cygpng12.dll
 D:\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll


I had reason to suspect that it was the
xorg-server because new versions had recently
been installed.  When I reverted to the previous
xorg-server-1.11.4-1, everything was not O.K.
The xfig still has the problem.

George Barrick g_barrick_at_walsh_dot_edu



just installed xfig on latest  xorg-srver 1.11.4-5
and it works.

You have likely an old version of one of the several
dll's.

Dependency Walker can help to find the wrong dll
http://www.dependencywalker.com/

or you can use strace

Hi Marco (and cygwin-x folks),

  I will try the experiment that I think
you are suggesting.  If the .so is part of an
older .dll, then a reinstallation of the
packages should clear up the problem.  I
have not yet done that however because the
same difficulty is emerging with the octave-3.6
that was released over the weekend.

  The message that I get is:

gbarrick@TS207 ~/jpegs/figs
$ octave
/usr/bin/octave-3.6.1.exe: error while loading shared libraries:
?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


now you triggered all my attention as octave package maintainer

try this

$ cd /bin
$ strace -o /tmp/octave.strace octave-3.6.1.exe --version

it should open a system message window mentioning what is missing

Subj: most recent xfig-3.2.5b-2 broken.

Hi Marco,

  I ran strace on the octave-3.6.1.exe and
got an empty message file.


of course, octave process never started :-)

However, that strace

terminated with a WinXP error alert box that
said:

octav-3.6.1.exe - Unable to locate component
[
[ This application has failed to start because
[ D:\Program Files\AlwilSoftware\Avast\snxhk.dll
[ was not found.  Re-installing the application
[ may fix this problem.
[

I guess that something is seriously screwed-up if
my octave is trying to access a .dll from my
antivirus program.  I did install a program
upgrade from Avast on Friday.  It seems to be
a bit more intrusive than the previous versions.
However, my upgrade to octave-3.6.1 did not occur
until this morning.

George gbarrick_at_walsh_dot_edu


Hi George,
probably octave is just the victim of Avast
I suspect the your antivirus is screwing up cygwin in general.
Probably it tries to inject a dll in the dll chain

does D:\Program Files\AlwilSoftware\Avast\snxhk.dll exist ?

Marco

Hi Marco,

  Yes. The file exists, but it is in the sub-directory
Avast5 of the AlwilSoftware directory.  Apparently their
installer does not make everything perfect when it upgrades
from a previous version.

   Should I then rip out both cygwin and the antivirus,
then run a re-install of antivirus first, then the cygwin?
Forgive me, install and re-install pretty much summarizes
my suite of computing skills.  When all that I have is a
hammer, everything looks to me like a hammer kind of
job.

I see no reason to re-install cygwin. It is purely a Avast problem

Hi Marco,

   I went and re-installed my antivirus so that its
files would be stored in a better directory.  That has
fixed my problem, as the av still slips .dll's into the
execution stack when I run cygwin processes, but now
my system knows where everything can be found.

I tested the new octave.  At first it crashed
when I asked for plots, but then I did the:

rebaseall -v


Hi George
if you see fork problem on the *.oct dll's of octave

please try
  rebaseall -s 'dll|so|oct'



from the ash-shell, and everything works.  Both the
latest xfig and the new octave-3.6.1 work as they
should.  Thank you for your patience.

George


you are welcome

Hi,
octave graphics need X running so please follows

http://cygwin.com/problems.html

so we can understand you X server issue.

Instead of startx you can also try startxwin
directly or though the X Win Server icon on the start menu.
Or the new experimental xlaunch (in package xlaunch)

Hi list,

A slightly more pared-down version of a question I've posed previously.

 From a new Cygwin install on Windows 7 running 1024x768 resolution,
compare the result of the following two commands run from a Cygwin
terminal:

startx /usr/bin/xterm -- -logfile broken.log

startx /usr/bin/xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 -- -logfile works.log

The first command produces a single unmanaged xterm. No X11 cursor is
visible and the xterm is unable to receive input focus. It is not
possible to anticipate where the cursor ought to be and give the xterm
focus. Unusable.

The second command produces a single unmanaged xterm. The X11 cursor
is visible and the xterm is able to receive input focus. Works as
expected.

This seems to be a fairly fundamental problem, and the placement of
the xterm determines whether the entire X.org session is usable or
not. Does anyone know anything about this problem?

Regards,

Patrick



try using startxwin instead of startx

in addition

xterm -ls /bin/bash should be better for the shell enviroment
in the xterm

Re: XWin crashes with Fatal server error when starting SYBYL 8.1 over SSH

Hello,

In our lab, we use Cygwin to run SYBYL 8.1. SYBYL does not run locally,
we instead forward the X server of the remote machine where it is
installed over SSH. This used to work fine until a few weeks ago, though
I am embarassed to say I can't pinpoint the exact time when it stopped
working.

SYBYL usually opens two windows, a main window and a (graphical)
terminal. When the first (main) window pops up, XWin crashes with the
following error:

 Fatal server error
 ...
 Package version: 1.12.1-1 built 2012-05-02
 ...
 X was called with: X :0 -multiwindow

An full Cygwin update didn't rectify the problem, and IIRC it's not
possible to downgrade packages in Cygwin.


it is possible.

On Select Packages window look for xorg-server row,
click on Keep and you can circle around options:
  keep / version 1.12.1-1
  version 1.12.0-5
  source
  reinstall
  uninstall

please check if version 1.12.0-5 is functional in your case

This (and the other OpenGL related crashes reported) should be fixed since

should be back to working as well as it ever did :-)



Hi Jon,

1.12.1-2 does not crash, but also does not plot.
the plot window is empty.

I will check 1.12.2-1

If it offends your eye, you should be able to make this warning go away by
installing the font-sony-misc package and restarting your X server.

(Or you can just ignore the warning, which is probably pretty harmless unless
you have a need for Japanese text in your xfig diagram, assuming that is even
possible...)



the font is so tiny (28k) that installing it is not a problem at all

Thanks for the new cygXt-6.dll and the font hint.

Re: Missing X11 Libraries

Dear all,

I am a new Cygwin user trying to utilize the environment for running
AmberTools 13 from AmberMD.org. I followed their instructions for
configuring the installation and upon running the configure script, I
got a message saying that my XHOME directory could not be determined.
Upon some online investigation I learned that Xhome is supposed to be
the directory containing lib/libXt.a, and that this directory is
searched for in /usr/X11R6/lib. However, my /usr/X11R6 directory does
not contain a lib subdirectory; it only contains bin and share.


/usr/X11R6/lib is obsolete, looks on /usr/lib

libXt.a is a static library, on cygwin we have only the dynamic version

/usr/lib/libXt.dll.a

that belongs to libXt-devel-1.1.4-1 package



I'm pretty sure that I have all required components installed;
setup.exe shows almost everything in the X11 section set to keep. In
particular, the AMBER installation guide calls for the following X11
packages, all of which are set to keep:

libXt-devel
xinit
xorg-scripts
xorg-server-devel

Could someone please advise me as to how to obtain the X11R6/lib
directory and its associated contents?

Thank you,

Dan

P.S. I tried to paste my CygCheck.out contents here but the email
bounced with a message saying it exceeded the maximum size. Please let
me know if there are any particular subsections that I should send.

fltk / gl rendering problem

[marco atzeri]

Hi,
testing a octave/fltk graphics issue, I noticed that also the
demo of fltk with GL interface has a similar issue.

On http://matzeri.altervista.org/works/fltk_gl/
I uploaded the before and after apperance of gl_overlay demo.

It is enough to move the window to loose the geometrical
image while the bars are correctly re-drawn.

Running Xwin with -wgl does not show such defect, but it is
terribly slow. So I assume it is not a fltk defect but of
GL or XServer.

A copy of gl_overlay from fltk-1.3.1.9857-1 build is also uploaded.

Marco

further experiment showed that the defect is present when the integrate

I guess this should read with -nowgl, in which case, this is a limitation of
the current implementation of -wgl mode, which will require lots of work to fix.


Question: is -wgl disabled by some of the other Xwin options ?
I was sure all my previous experiments where with -wgl
But I see no difference between
xwin -rootless -nowgl and xwin -rootless


I wrote a bit about these limitations at [1]

[1] http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2012-10/msg9.html


It seems the same defect so it seems related to -wgl,
at least in multiwindow mode.

Testing with
 xwin -multiwindow 
   the moving defect is present and slide layer are drawn

 xwin -multiwindow -nowgl
   the moving defect is NOT present but the slide layer are NOT drawn
( same for both xwin -rootless -nowgl and xwin -rootless )



further experiment showed that the defect is present when the integrate
windows manager is used. With external window manager (fvwm, openbox,.. ) that
defect does not apper.

With external window manager another defect appears, the upper
bar effect is not shown at all; while it is present on the integrated
window manager.


When I tested this, it looks like the solid area controlled by the sides
slider didn't get rendered into a separate layer when using software rendering
(either -nowgl or X server in windowed mode), so this is possibly some bug or
limitation in the software renderer, or possibly in a bug in the demo not
recognizing the lack of capabilities of the software renderer.


Do you mean more likely a OpenGL bug of fltk one ?

Marco

I usually download updates from; ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/

Today it says;

One or more mirrors you have selected is/are not on the list of official 
Cygwin mirrors any more. They may be out of date or missing some packages.

if you experience installation problems consider trying official mirrors only

when I click Yes, it goes to a download screen for setup.bz2.sig

this is the pointer causing the segfault

(gdb) p form-form.horiz_base
$2 = (Widget) 0x6275705f6779632f

while similar pointers have a much smaller address,

(gdb) p w
$5 = (Widget) 0x60014bd50

so it that an assignment not clearing the upper
portion of the pointer.

Unfortunately my knowledge of Xt and Xaw is very limited so
if someone have any idea how to trace the bug origin,
I will appreciate.

Program and data available at:
http://matzeri.altervista.org/x86_64/ncview/
http://matzeri.altervista.org/works/ncview/

to run the program
ncview sresa1b_ncar_ccsm3_0_run1_21.nc

just changing the Var value 3 or 4 times trigger
the segfault.

$2 is not a pointer that needed partial clearing, it's a character string
/cyg_pub.  Possibly a buffer overrun somewhere?  Hope the string fragment
points the way to somebody.

thanks for the hint,  /cyg_pub is a directory on the root

 $ ls -l / |grep pub
lrwxrwxrwx   1 marco  Administrators 19 Jun 26 19:11 pub - 
/cygdrive/e/cyg_pub


where the data file was stored,
however moving it to /tmp produce as result

 p ref
$1 = (Widget) 0x635f7261636e5f62 aka c_racn_b

that is not very meaningful to me, so the pointer corruption
can be very generic.

I was wrong. It is meaningful

(gdb) p form
$38 = (FormConstraints) 0x60003
(gdb) x/20bs 0x60003
0x60003:
0x60004:

0x60007:

0x60045:
0x60046:
0x60047:
0x60048:
0x60049:
0x6004a:

So it is a portion of the file name as before,
I start to feel that a pointer is not a NULL as should be...


Good Luck,

In most UNIX systems, this last command would be the window manager.
I'm not liking fbpanel (although I will give it a try) and I don't
like using an XTerm as my last command, since I often close/reopen
them all when making changes to my .bashrc/.bash_profile.

Are there any suggestions from the list for some *other* program that
won't use any resources that I can use as my final foreground command?
  I don't want it to do anything, just not let X11 exit.

Re: X server doesn't start with a empty .startxwinrc

Hi all,

I need you help to understand what's wrong with X server or my .startxwinrc
file.

I work with X server - Xterm and vim since month now. Every thing was
always working perfectly.

Yesterday I upgraded all cygwin packages and just after that I was unable to
start X server again.

I made a new fresh installation and X server works correctly. Then I made a
copy of my olds files like .startwinrc, .bashrc .vimrc and all my shortcuts.
When I tried to start the X server I had the same problems. X server crashed.

I removed one by one all the files I copied up to I deleted .startxwinrc.
Then the X server start correctly. my .startxwinrc had only 3 lines with :

xterm -bg Black -fg White

I deleted all the lines just to have a blank .startxwinrc. But X server
still crashes.

Here is the log when I run startxwin from terminal with an empty
.startxwinrc file

I don't understand what I did wrong as it was working fine before.


xinit behavior is changed, see relative announcement
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2014-11/msg4.html

It will execute all command of .startxwinrc  or startxwinrc
and then the X server will shutdown.

you can
1) remove .startxwinrc, so that the default will prevail.
   see for an example /etc/defaults/etc/X11/xinit/startxwinrc

2) you put in .startxwinrc any command without 
   and the xserver will close when that command will end.

   as examples:
 xterm -bg Black -fg White
 sleep inf

You are not the first one, that was caught by surprise.
Re-reading the announcement helped me on understanding the matter.



Thank you

Regards,

Colagrossi Jean-Marc

Re: Need help to replicate old behavior of my X setup scripts with latest Xfree86 update

On 12/23/2014 7:24 PM, Ben Richards wrote:

Up until the recent update to xinit-1.3.4-1 which overhauled X session
handling, I had my session set up nicely for my purposes. With the
following code in my .zshrc and an empty .startxwinrc, when I launched
Cygwin, Xwin.exe would start on display :0.0, it would set the
$DISPLAY variable, and automatically kill the X server when I exited
that terminal. I like mintty so this let me use that as my shell.

.zshrc contents:
=
startxwin  xserver.log
x_start_success=$?
if [[ $x_start_success == 0 ]]; then
export DISPLAY=:0.0

pid=`ps | grep '/usr/bin/XWin' | awk '{print $1;}'`
alias kill_xwin=kill $pid
if [[ $TMUX ==  ]]  [[ $x_start_success == 0 ]]; then
 alias exit=kill $pid ; \exit
fi
fi

The aforementioned update disrupted this flow so I’m wondering if
anyone has any suggestions on how I can regain a similar sort of
functionality. I don’t like using xterm in Cygwin and would like to
keep using mintty as my main terminal interface.


try putting sleep inf in .startxwinrc
It should simulate the old behaviour

Since last X-Cygwin update several of my X-Win applications are not

Googling cygwin xorg 1.17 crash gave many posts reporting probably

the Cygwin-FAQ and mailing list without real success.


can you just run startxwin from mintty and report the outcome ?

There were several changes in the default

With an older version of Cygwin I had constructed a cut down

This approach is not working well at all for the current release.  Last
time around I just tossed things into a folder to temporarily hide them,
and by process of elimination winnowed it down to that small size.  This
time there are many, many, MANY more dll's that are required for the
server to start, at least  via this method:

C:\cygwinX\bin\run.exe --quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "cd; exec
/usr/bin/startxwin"

For instance, cyggtk-x11-2.0.0.dll.  Take it out and the X11 server does
not start.
That dll, according to "ldd" has everything but the kitchen sink linked
into it.  It isn't linked directly into the server though, it is needed
for "xwin-xdg-menu.exe",
an accessory program, which if removed from /usr/bin, also results in
the server not starting.



look on
/etc/X11/xinit/startxwinrc

It is calling xwin-xdg-menu
