"Can't read lock file" problem: Cygwin/X FAQ solution doesn't work for me
Cygwin gurus, After happily using cygwin-X for many years, I have just encountered my first true frustration. After updating my cygwin distribution earlier this week, I found that I can no longer start X windows, getting the same "can't read lock file" that other users have experienced. I tried the solution from the Cygwin FAQ (http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-cant-read-lock-file): $ rm -rf /tmp; mkdir /tmp ; chmod 1777 /tmp; xinit -nolock but this did not help. Same problem.

RE: X11 apps failing after upgrade
Yeah, I'm sorry to confirm that I installed the Solaris patch (119059-45) on one machine (Solaris 10) and while it seems to allow me to run an xterm (though I have no interest in doing so - didn't do much testing), my GNU Emacs still fails in the same way. I tried a recompilation of Emacs, in case the patch changed some statically linked library (yeah, a long shot I know), but no change. I can't run it up.

RE: X11 apps failing after upgrade
Thanks for the build, because I couldn't get the build to work. I double checked I'd installed everything (Cygwin installer needs command line option!). Something to do with autoconf I think: checking build system type... config.sub: missing argument Try `config.sub --help' for more information. configure: error: /bin/sh /usr/src/xorg-server-1.5.3-4/src/xorg-server-1.5.3/config.sub failed *** ERROR: configure failed But anyway, when my Emacs fails, it does not trigger the breakpoint. My xterm gave me a BadAlloc, but the Solaris patch fixed that. My GNU Emacs gives me: $ emacs X protocol error: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter) on protocol request 20 Fatal error (6)Abort (core dumped) This happens almost immediately. The Emacs call stack is below. Is there another breakpoint I should try in the X server?

Where do I have to put fvwm-themes-start?
Hi there, installed fvwm, fvwm-themes package as well, with one exception (a warning in ./configure that Xlib could not be found and that fvwm-images(sp?) might not work correctly, I assume a bug in the script somewhere, as my Cygwin+Cygwin/X installations are bog-standard and sane). My problem now: where do I have to put the "fvwm-themes-start" line? .BAT file makes no sense, as this cannot understand extension-less scripts. A last way out would be invoking the startxwin.sh (providing the required line) indirectly by starting bash via cygwin. Problem 2 is that .XWinrc does not seem to support on-startup execution of commands like e. g. .profile or XF86config. The only thing I've found is how to build menus ;) just doing a /bin/fvwm-themes-start will result in a "string error at line XX". Can anyone help please? -Andreas -- 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/

You have ignored my cygchec.out here [1]. I have those packages installed and glxgears, glxinfo seem to work (see opengl.txt below). Thanks. The output of glxgears and glxinfo all looks as expected. Irrespective of if I use +bs or not, with 1.5.3-4, simple.C runs ok, geom/shapes.C causes ROOT to segfault unless XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS is used. You should raise the ROOT segfault as an issue with the ROOT developers. They will be far more qualified to diagnose the issue than me. The fact that also XWin segfaults, means it isn't a problem only for ROOT developers... I'm not saying it's a problem only for them, I'm saying they know far more about the internals of ROOT than me. Please try to look at this from my perspective: For all I know, you may have 2 separate problems. For me geom/Shapes.C always segfaults ROOT unless I have XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS set. This is suggestive that ROOT can't handle ARGB visuals. ROOT is the only OpenGL application that Cygwin/X has reported problems with at the moment. If you wouldn't mind trying again, I've built a slightly different debug version, which you can get from: ftp://cygwin.com/pub/cygwinx/XWin.20081203132739.exe.bz2 Just for completeness, I have tried and IT WORKS JUST FINE and without XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS! Respect to the previous testing-XWin you have proposed, with XWin.20081203132739 also the keyboard works just fine!!! So, I doubt we are referring to the same failing XWin which one finds on the mirrors... I know you must be finding this frustrating, I know I am. But I am not lying to you when I say that I am using Xwin.exe from 1.5.3-4 and it doesn't fail for me when I run ROOT simple.C, irrespective of if I have +bs selected or not. I don't have some secret Cyginw/X goodness which I'm not putting into the X server which gets uploaded to the mirrors for some bizarre motive. :-) Ok. I've spent a bit more time to carefully build an image which should be identical to the 1.5.3-4 one except for the addition of debug symbols, so perhaps you could try ftp://cygwin.com/pub/cygwinx/XWin.20081204180806.exe.bz2 and see if that one fails for you. Failing that, can you post the XWin.exe.stackdump file which is generated when the 1.5.3-4 X server segfaults for you, and I'll see if I can extract some useful information from that. -- 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/
