Re: Problem with installation of Octave
I checked the various packages that I have installed regarding X: libX11-devel, libX11-xcb1, libX11_6, libXau-devel, libXau6, libXcomposite1, libXcursor1, libXdamage1, libXdmcp-devel, libXdmcp6, libXext6, libXfixes3, libXfont2_2, libXft2, libXi6, libXinerama1, libXmuu1, libXrandr2, libXrender1, libXss1, libXtst6, libxcb-composite0, libxcb-devel, libxcv-ewmh2, libxcb-glx0, libxcb-icccm4, libxcb0image0 (and some other X-related libraries, just skipping them, as they seem not to add more information), xauth, xcursor-themes, xkbcomp, xkeyboard-config, xorg-server, xorg-server-common, xorgproto. There is no command "xinit". I start the X server using the command "X" and that seems to work fine. However, I do see a pacakge xinit now that I explicitly look for it.

Problem with installation of Octave
Hello, when I updated my installation of Cygwin with Octave (4.2.2 to be precise) and tried running it (while having an X server running), I ran into a problem with D-bus: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/etc/machine-id": No such file or directory See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue. Apparently, installing Octave was not enough, I had to install D-bus separately. When I had done that, the problem was gone. I guess this is an omission in the dependencies for Octave. Note: this problem occurred both with and without the GUI that Octave comes with (octave --no-gui gave the same error messages).
