As opposed to freeze-on-startup, I experience a freeze-when-network-busy. More precisely, it is freeze-after-network-busy, because even after the network clog has cleared, cygwin/x remains frozen.
I am on wireless, and at times the bandwidth to my laptop is reduced by traffic. I use a motif activity intensive programme called SAS. When bandwidth gets clogged, all cygwin/x windows comes to a standstill, xterms and non-SAS windows as well. When clog is cleared and bandwidth returns to 54Mbs, all of cygwin/x remains frozen. I have end cygwin/x, lose all my charts and code written to restart it. An irrelevant thought to nibble: I spell programme rather than program, not just because of my origin, but also when spelt as program, southerners like jimmy carter pronounce it as "progrom" which sounds discomforting. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Andy Schmidgall Sent: Sun, November 20, 2005 12:57 AM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: FIXED my freeze on startup problem A few months ago I wrote asking for help with my freeze on startup problem. I just now figured out what the problem was. I did some more looking at the log files, and XWin was waiting for a hung sh process that was doing something with keyboard maps. I found a post that suggested adding a -kb to my XWin command line parameters, and that did the trick! I just wanted to let you all know another possible cause for the freezes on startup. -Andy -- 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/ -- 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/
