I have reinstalled Cygwin 5 times. Each time I can start XWin fine UNTIL I rebaseall or perlrebase or until I uninstall+reinstall perl/Tk. The .log file is from the first couple times it sucessfully came up (prior to the rebase and the errors) and nothing is written to any logfiles or even STDERR/STDOUT except for the: $ xinit giving up. xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. or $ startxwin giving up. startxwin: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server startxwin: No such process (errno 3): Server error. I have added the env variable CYGWIN=tty but still nothing more informative is written to any files or terminal. My hardware is a HP EliteBook sitting on MS XP Pro version 2002 SP3. I have altered the rebaseall script to actually complete, as it is failing on the 64bit dlls. ( added filter to sed to not include the specific dlls from list creation ) I have tried this both ways in 'stock' form from repository and altered to complete. This is 100% reproducible. I can reproduce this every time even with fully fresh installs of cygwin. My goal is to get a version of Cyg X running that I can run cssh and have a full menubar ( this is why the initial rebase and then the subsequent reinstalls and the mucking about with the Perl/Tk stuff ) Thanks for any information in advance, DJ -- 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/

Sorry, I hadn't quite grasped that is the whole of the output. For obscure technical reasons, the output of XWin doesn't appear in a cmd.exe terminal if cygwin wasn't started with CYGWIN=tty. Can I suggest you install mintty, and try running startxwin from that, which should produce some more informative output.

Re: Problem starting XWin Server
First, THANKS! $ startxwin giving up. startxwin: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server startxwin: No such process (errno 3): Server error. The server is never started - no process in the Windows "Resource Monitor". When I try to start xedit (or whatever X based app) nothing happens, nothing appears. As for FAQ, I'm afraid I don't see anything that might help. I looked before I posted the original e-mail. ---John On Wed, Jul 13, 2011 at 8:21 AM, Jon TURNEY wrote: > On 12/07/2011 09:10, Jan Chludzinski wrote: >> I just did a complete installation of X11 from Cygwin 1.7 setup.exe. >> But when I try to start the "XWin Server" using the "Start" menu >> nothing happens.

Looking at the XWin.0.log you attached, it looks like the X server is starting up successfully. If clients are unable to connect, this might be due to firewall configuration or other software which interferes with cygwin sockets (see [1] in the Cygwin/X FAQ for some suggestions) [1] http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-cannot-open-display -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- 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/
