Xlib: unexpected connection setup reply from server, type 46

[Teus Benschop]

Hi,

I am mailing the list with a problem that occurs when Cygwin/X is 
started while a certain other program is running. I searched the list 
archives to see if this was discussed before, but could not find a 
reference to it.


After "startx" is entered in the Cygwin terminal, the X Windows system 
begins to start. It gives this message:


winClipboardProc - Could not open display, try: , sleeping: 4
Xlib: unexpected connection setup reply from server, type 46

After 40 tries, it gives up with this message:
winClipboardProc - Failed opening the display, giving up

Cygwin/X finally times out and then starts, and the GUI Linux binary 
starts too, but when a clipboard operation in that binary is attempted, 
Cygwin says:


winProcSetSelectionOwner - Clipboard not yet started, aborting.

The "other program" is FieldWorks Language Explorer, freely available 
from http://www.sil.org/computing/FieldWorks/BTE-FW_downloads.htm. While 
this program runs, Cygwin/X gives the above messages. Vice versa, when 
Cygwin/X runs, the Language Explorer won't run but crashes on startup. 
If the Language Explorer is not running, Cygwin/X starts fine.


Is this a known problem?
Any workarounds?

Thanks,

Teus Benschop

Cywin was working perfectly fine before I updated this morning :-(

I have tried to updating the permissions on C:\cygwin\tmp but no dice.  I 
saw some mention(s) about this issue being related to a Window's firewall, 
so what's the work around?  Why would updating cywin cause it to get blocked 
now?


In any case, I do hope someone has some suggestions to get me up and running 
again.  Thank You.

This is the steps that I use in my office to run Cygwin/X:

1.  Execute “startxwin.bat”.
2.  On the window that opens I type: xhost +
hostname.temple.edu.  Then I type: ssh –X

3.	I type my password and get in with no problem.  Then I

type: setenv DISPLAY myipaddress:0.0.

This is wrong, if you used "ssh -X" then DISPLAY is already set (by ssh) and it
has a different value, usually localhost:10.0 for the first connection.

The idea is that ssh will tunnel the X connection through itself (thus
localhost) and it uses a configurable display number (the 10.0).

The reason it works from some computers and not from others is that even if the
X server exists at myipaddress:0.0 it could be blocked by any firewall between
computers; the ssh tunnel is the way to avoid being blocked.

Try skipping the "setenv DISPLAY myipaddress:0.0" step.

Thank you for your response.  Now, the question is what are the exact steps (if 
there are any) to actually get this to work?
