startx failure, on fresh install
startx won't start X, after fresh install of latest cygwin on fresh XP laptop See previous report here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2006-08/msg00099.html (no responses to that). I've found one other user with exactly the same problem, but have had no response in this forum or in the cybertechhelp forum where the other user posted, so I'm posting again. Currently, my options seem to be: (1) go buy another laptop, maybe cygwin-x will work on that one. I kind of like this one, though, everything else works on it. (2) attempt to 'downgrade' from 6.8.99 to 6.8.1 / 6.8.2 (there's a mix of these available on the mirrors); I've seen one report by a user who had success fixing a similar issue by this means. Is there anythng I should know before I try this? It seems that setup.exe will refuse to change all the X components at once, in particular the xorg-x11-base needs to be changed separately. Do I change it first, or last? My previous experience with this sort of thing makes me concerned that I'll irrevocably mess up my install if I do this wrong. -- 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/

My experience is that I have tried startx and startxwin.sh, and they both don't work; the startxwin.bat file is the only one that worked for me. Try it out, and see what happens. Thank you for the response. startxwin.sh result seems identical to startx. startxwin.bat actually starts the server, but it's not viable: (1) run startxwin.bat in win command shell. X appears in sys tray. (2) env DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 xclock in a cygwin shell: no window opens. (3) env DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 xlogo in a cygwin shell: X window opens, but if you breathe on it, an error occurs (if you hit 'return' in the cygwin shell, or if you just alt-tab to the X window and back). Error message is Xlib: sequence lost (0x1 0x32) in reply type 0x0! X Error of failed request: 0 Major opcode of failed request: 0 () Serial number of failed request: 0 Current serial number in output stream: 50 I can also run 'XWin -multiwindow' in a cygwin shell, and get a similarly flaky X session. And the next time you report a problem, you might want to read: Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Well I did, actually; the full error dump is in the previous report that I linked to, and there's even more info (from another user with an identical problem) in a report linked to from there. I didn't think it was useful to replicate the full dump, I had no new information. And, re putting my full address in: no sweat, I get so much spam already at this address it's doubtful it will make any difference. -- 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/
1.5.21: Problems with fifos
Hello First, I would like to mention that I am new on this list and new to cygwin. Also I would like to thank everyone that has contributed to cygwin! Recently I tried to get my own project AFD (automatic file distribution system http://www.dwd.de/AFD) to work under windows with the help of cygwin. Compiling works without any problems, however trying to start the application I always get the following errors: 72382 [main] init_afd 1788 fhandler_base::fork_fixup: /home/Holger/afd/fifodir/afd_cmd.fifo - Win32 error 6, handle io_handle0x0 72797 [main] init_afd 1788 fhandler_base::fork_fixup: /home/Holger/afd/fifodir/afd_resp.fifo - Win32 error 6, handle io_handle0x0 72932 [main] init_afd 1788 fhandler_base::fork_fixup: /home/Holger/afd/fifodir/amg_cmd.fifo - Win32 error 6, handle io_handle0x0 73151 [main] init_afd 1788 fhandler_base::fork_fixup: /home/Holger/afd/fifodir/fd_cmd.fifo - Win32 error 6, handle io_handle0x0 73294 [main] init_afd 1788 fhandler_base::fork_fixup: /home/Holger/afd/fifodir/probe_only.fifo - Win32 error 6, handle io_handle0x0 97242 [main] init_afd 988 fhandler_base::fork_fixup: /home/Holger/afd/fifodir/afd_cmd.fifo - Win32 error 6, handle io_handle0x0 98646 [main] init_afd 988 fhandler_base::fork_fixup: /home/Holger/afd/fifodir/afd_resp.fifo - Win32 error 6, handle io_handle0x0 117644 [main] init_afd 988 fhandler_base::fork_fixup: /home/Holger/afd/fifodir/amg_cmd.fifo - Win32 error 6, handle io_handle0x0 I think that I have found the cause for these error messages. When I remove the FD_CLOEXEC flag, that was used to open the fifo's, the message would disapear. However all my process are still stuck somewhere in some win32 libs.

Re: Apache 1.3.33 on W2003 problems only on system boot
Hello, Igor. IP The fact that the service doesn't work after system boot and then works IP fine after a restart seems to suggest that it's started too early (before IP some other service). You need to discover what that service is (could be IP the firewall service, or Tcp/ip, or something else) and add a dependency IP to it by using the -y cygrunsrv option. Your cygcheck output confirms IP that your apache service has no dependencies. Thank you for suggestion but it doesn't work. I've added dependency on tcpip first and on literally all remaining installed services later but it doesn't help. And neither I have any firewall. But I found offender - Terminal Services on W2003. Whenever they installed (even if service itself disabled by hand)- I get these errors both with sshd and apache 1.3. httpd2 works though. Adding -y TermService to cygrunsrv's arguments does not change anything. If I just deinstall Terminal Services - everything works as intended without any additional dependencies required. So I'm stuck on this so far. -- Regards, Sergei Kolodka -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

When I ran the shortcut, it brought up a bash. First time up it did some setup. Things worked. Then I decided to install it for everyone. I deleted all the cygwin stuff I could find from my directories. Then, from an Admin account, I went to cygwin.com again, ran setup.exe again, and chose For everyone and put things under c:\cygwin. Again, everything seemed to go OK. But when I, as the original user, try the newly installed shortcut on my desktop, I get bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create! bash-3.1$ complaint. The other reports I found seem to indicate it gets further than I get. You probably installed into a different directory for that user, and you have stale user mounts. Unfortunately, you have not attached the output of cygcheck -svr from the failing user (which you could have gotten via cd c:\cygwin\bin; .\cygcheck -svr from a command prompt).

And therein lies your problem. When you use COMn, you get access to the
raw Windows device, without Cygwin's POSIX emulation, so it's not
surprising that ioctl() doesn't work.
I tried before with /dev/ttySn and I receive file not found as answer.
That's probably because COMn = /dev/ttyS{n-1} (e.g., COM1 - /dev/ttyS0).

Subversion can't move ./.svn/tmp/entries
When attempting to use Subversion to obtain a fresh new copy of a particular directory tree -- I mention this to make it clear none of the files or directories I want yet exist on my local disk -- I get an error described pretty well here: http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2005-08/1408.shtml In short, in the middle of a long series of inbound transfers, the 'svn update' command complains to the effect of: Can't move '/cygdrive/c//trunk/oracle/packages/.svn/tmp/entries' to '/cygdrive/c//trunk/oracle/packages/.svn/entries': Permission denied This is perplexing given that Subversion itself creates the entries file, and furthermore it's a freshly created copy, so it's not like I've had a chance to screw up its permissions yet. (Give me time.) The web page I linked mentions the possibility of conflicts with file system indexing or anti-virus software, but I haven't got any of that installed. Brane's analysis at the bottom of the web page in question seems worth pondering for brains more qualified than mine. Any ideas?

I did like them icon overlays, but I reckon I'll have to go without. --- From: Pete Gontier [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 05 Sep 2006 15:08:33 -0700 To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Subversion can't move ./.svn/tmp/entries When attempting to use Subversion to obtain a fresh new copy of a particular directory tree -- I mention this to make it clear none of the files or directories I want yet exist on my local disk -- I get an error described pretty well here: http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2005-08/1408.shtml In short, in the middle of a long series of inbound transfers, the 'svn update' command complains to the effect of: Can't move '/cygdrive/c//trunk/oracle/packages/.svn/tmp/entries' to '/cygdrive/c//trunk/oracle/packages/.svn/entries': Permission denied This is perplexing given that Subversion itself creates the entries file, and furthermore it's a freshly created copy, so it's not like I've had a chance to screw up its permissions yet. (Give me time.) The web page I linked mentions the possibility of conflicts with file system indexing or anti-virus software, but I haven't got any of that installed. Brane's analysis at the bottom of the web page in question seems worth pondering for brains more qualified than mine. Any ideas?

RE: Variation on: regular user, bash cannot find /tmp
It did help and worked; thanks. Indeed, I had installed it in different places the two times. For the archives, a couple clarifications on the instructions. From a command prompt means from a windows command prompt not a cygwin/bash command prompt. In the `command` on my windows box, semi-colon does not separate commands, so the cd and the .\program need to happen as separate commands. I haven't looked at the output of cygcheck yet; after doing the umount I tried what had failed and it seems to work.
