If the OP enables the Interact with Desktop checkbox for the inetd service, this should work. He is on a terminal server, would be interesting to see on which 'Desktop' calc will get displayed. If this is the physical display of the server this will be not helping, i guess. -- 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/

We are talking about a Windows Application here.

Windows GUI apps from xterm
Hello all, I am on windows terminal server win_ts: When executing a windows GUI application such as calc from a cygwin shell, it works just fine, without setting any DISPLAY env variable. Now if I connect to terminal server win_ts from a unix xterm - I am still on the same terminal server - and try to run calc, it hangs, but running something like xcalc works fine. It seems that running pure windows GUI app such as calc only woks from a cygwin shell, and not connecting to the cygwin shell from a unix xterm even though everything is happening on the same windows terminal server. Please advice. -Mahdi -- 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/

No surprise here. Windows applications don't use X11, so they don't look for DISPLAY. Now if I connect to terminal server win_ts from a unix xterm - I am still on the same terminal server - and try to run calc, it hangs, but running something like xcalc works fine. I'm not sure what you mean by unix xterm. If that means connecting from a different system, then you can't get calc because calc can't display itself on a X11 Server. If you mean starting calc from cygwins xterm on the same server, as your hint suggests, then you probably run into specific problems a terminal server has (finding the right session). Starting a windows app from cygwin xterm works here without problems. Does calc come up in the tasklist? -- 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/
