Hi, I receive following error when starting XWin-Server (startxwin) on my Vista Ultimate x64-System.
_XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running Fatal server error: Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running I also used following advices, but it did not work out Kim Goldov wrote: It worked with /usr/bin/XWin :1 The "X" icon appeared and the "xterm" application worked as expected. This seems pretty strong evidence that the error message you reported is correct. _XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running The server can't start, either because it's not being allowed to bind to port 6000, or because something else already has. "netstat -p" showed nothing before or after XWin started. It also showed nothing with a live SSH connection started from my Cygwin bash shell. Sorry, I meant to type "netstat -b" not "netstat -p" After starting XWin with "XWin :1" the process appeared as expected in the Windows task manager.

Does "/usr/bin/XWin :1 -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error" fail in the same way? -- 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/
