Re: Xorg server 1.7.1 spontaneously exiting with clipboard message

Emacs just stopped working for no reason
I was away on vacation for a week. Cygwin / X / GNU Emacs 24.3.1 were all working normally when I left. I left the computer powered on while I was away. No software was updated on the computer during that time, though I am running the BOINC software for World Community Grid. Computer is running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I left a couple of xterm windows open before I left, because there was some work I wanted to be reminded of when I got home. Upon arriving home last night, I tried to fire up Emacs, but now it's not working. It either says "memory exhausted" or just hangs. I rebooted, nothing changed. I started "ash" and ran "rebaseall -v". Still, nothing changed. This is not the first time that Emacs has died. The only way to fix the problem is to completely re-install Cygwin from scratch. Is there *any* way to try to figure out what is causing this? -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us -- 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/

XWin.exe causes Windows apps. to freeze
I have a persistent problem at work after XWin has been running for a while (sometimes hours, sometimes days). Windows programs will spontaneously freeze I am running Windows XP SP3 on a Dell Latitude D810 laptop (Intel T7200 @ 2.0 GHz, 2 GB RAM). I typically run MS Outlook 2007, some form of Firefox (either release or beta), and Citrix (remote-access software), all at the same time, though I have run the various flavors of VNC (Real, Tight, Tiger) in the past. Graphics is an NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M with two monitors connected (one digital, one analog), using the 197.68 driver. What happens is that windows will spontaneously freeze. For example, I'm composing a message in Outlook, and all of a sudden, my keyboard stops responding, then I'll get the Windows hourglass in that window. Or I'll be surfing in Firefox and window changes just stop, again hourglass. Once this happens, killing XWin.exe from the task manager immediately releases the hang condition(s), though the hang may release itself if I wait several minutes (yeah, right). At this point, I can re-start XWin, but later on, it will happen again. I'm starting XWin.exe from the install shortcut: C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe I'm running the latest of Cygwin everything, the problem has been across several (many) releases of the Xorg server. I think it's using the default options for multi-monitor, cut/paste, etc. I can usually copy/paste between XWin and MS Windows (and usually Citrix) without any problems. I keep thinking that the problem is something in the XWin code that interfaces to Windows' copy/paste engine (OLE?). Is there any way to debug this problem? It would be great to get it resolved.

Cygwin X causes system pauses
I have a recurring problem with Cygwin-X. First off, I'm my work laptop is running Win XP SP3. In general, the applications I have open are MS Outlook 2007, RealVNC, and of course xterm/xemacs. X1 (email indexing) runs in the background). I'm running some sort of Norton Enterprise Anti-virus (I can't find the icon for it). After some period of time, if I try to type something into an Outlook E-mail message, the text pauses (no echo), then after several/many seconds, it will appear (usually with the typos I didn't see). If I kill XWin.exe, then normal performance is restored. This problem is exacerbated (or happens sooner) if I'm doing a lot of cut/copy/paste in Emacs. A second problem is sometimes I copy text from a Windows app. then try to paste it into Emacs. Instead of the text showing up, I get an XWin hourglass and I'm pretty much hosed at this point (only the X system is hung, the rest of the PC is fine). Killing XWin.exe and restarting fixes this problem. I thought I had added the extra debug to my XWin log, but now I'm not so sure. The Outlook problem just happened a few mins ago, and here is the tail end of the XWin log file (repeated about 25 times): [1317564.000] winClipboardWindowProc - timed out waiting for WIN_XEVENTS_NOTIFY This has been an ongoing problem for months, it's not something that just started happening.

Re: Problems with display resize over RDP connections
My understanding is that the X server inherits the properties of the screen it's started on. For example, if you normally have 2 monitors, and for some reason only 1 monitor is active, and you start Xwin there, if you then active the 2nd monitor, you can't move your Xterm window over there (or you can, but you can't do anything with it). What is RDP? I like LogMeIn for this sort of thing, as long as you're not on a secure (ie. VPN) connection. I really HATE when you log into a remote system and it changes those screen properties. Then when you come into work, it's all messed up. On 4/28/2010 12:38 PM, Raul Acevedo wrote: At work, my display is at 1280x1024.

Is this a known issue? It's a pain to restart X and my apps just to get X to properly adjust its display size.

Can't start xterm from Cygwin/X icon in system tray
I have a very strange situation. At work, I am running Win XP SP3. I installed all the latest Cygwin (1.7.1) + Xorg updates, including startxwin.exe. Everything works perfectly. At home, I am running Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit. I am unable to start an xterm from the Cygwin/X icon in the system tray (right-click, select xterm). Both setups have the same line in .XWinrc: "xterm" EXEC "xterm" I am starting the X server the same way: D:\Cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe I do not have a ~/.startxwinrc file. The xterm that is supposed to be created when the server starts doesn't start either. The symptom is that xterm.exe is shown running in the task manager, but there is no Xterm window on the desktop. As a work-around, I created a shortcut on my desktop to start an xterm: D:\Cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/xterm -display localhost:0 That works perfectly, but is not an optimum solution (I try to have as few desktop icons as possible). There is nothing in the /var/log/Xwin log that indicates why an xterm would start but not open a window.

Cut/paste in an xterm takes extraordinarily long time
I'm having problems with copying text from a Windows application (Firefox) and pasting into Cygwin Emacs (23.1.1). I'm running Cygwin 1.7 (latest) and Xorg (latest). When pasting into Emacs, my mouse pointer changes to an hourglass, and after what seems like an eternity (10-30 seconds), the paste will finish, often times with the wrong text, rarely with the correct test.

What is correct way to start xterm from .XWinrc?
My .XWinrc file has this menu line: "xterm" EXEC "xterm -e tcsh" Since my default shell in /etc/passwd is /bin/tcsh, why should I need to specify it here also? If I don't specify it, a new xterm doesn't execute my ~/.cshrc file. I do not have a ~/.login or ~/.profile file. What is the right way to do this?

Anyone else having new recent problems with Windows clipboard?
I'm running Cygwin 1.7 (latest) and X-Org server (latest). For the past week or two, I've been having strange clipboard problems. The most problematic is that I can't copy/cut text in a Windows application and paste it into a Cygwin-X application (I can copy/paste between X applications OK). I do use RealVNC alll day at work. I know a month or few back, there were some changes to fix clipboard problems when VNC was used. Could those problems have returned? Is anyone else having recent problems that they didn't have before?

xterm won't close until backgrounded windows closed?
I'm running Cygwin 1.7 with latest Xorg server, etc. I don't know what version this changed in, but I can't exit an xterm until the Emacs process that's backgrounded in the window closes first. Then both windows close. This seems like a new behavior.

Check your /etc/passwd file It's possible that ~ isn't really your home directory - Jim On Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 9:46 AM, Mike Ayers wrote: > > I'm trying to set up shortcuts in ~/.ssh/config, but it doesn't seem > to work.

Re: Is there a Windows clipboard manager that doesn't clash with -clipboard parameter?
Are you using the very latest X-Org server? I was having bad problems with VNC, but they've since disappeared with the latest X release. - Jim On 7/24/2009 12:47 AM, Alister Hood wrote: I've found that -clipboard clashes with Windows clipboard history managers such as Ditto.

Re: Audible bell broken in bash/xterm
Mine says (242). There is no more recent (non-experimental) version available from Cygwin 1.7 setup.

Re: Windows 7 RC1 and Cygwin 1.7
The "two empty DOS windows" are conhost.exe sessions, according to Task Manager. - Jim On Fri, May 15, 2009 at 2:13 PM, Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: > I have installed Windows 7 RC1 (64-bit) as well as Cygwin 1.7, > including the Xorg stuff in the Cygwin setup-1.7.exe file > > I can start the X server OK, as well as xterm and xemacs. > > When I start an xterm by right-clicking on the X server icon in the > system tray, in addition to the Xterm windows, I also get what appears > to be two empty DOS windows - one with xwin.exe in the window title, > one with xterm.exe in the window title.

Windows 7 RC1 and Cygwin 1.7
I have installed Windows 7 RC1 (64-bit) as well as Cygwin 1.7, including the Xorg stuff in the Cygwin setup-1.7.exe file I can start the X server OK, as well as xterm and xemacs. When I start an xterm by right-clicking on the X server icon in the system tray, in addition to the Xterm windows, I also get what appears to be two empty DOS windows - one with xwin.exe in the window title, one with xterm.exe in the window title. When I close the xterm, those two DOS windows also disappear. Can anyone speculate why this is happening? The system is running a clean install of all this new stuff.
