What part of this (from FAQ 6.1): $ DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 $ export DISPLAY $ ssh -Y remotehost says set the DISPLAY to the IP address of the server after starting ssh? Please re-read the FAQ carefully. It works like this. You run "ssh -Y remotehost". ssh makes a connection to $DISPLAY on your local machine (probably ":0"). On the remotehost side, the sshd daemon starts a proxy X server (localhost:10.0 say), and sets $DISPLAY to match. When you start an X application on remotehost, it connects to the proxy server, which forwards all requests to the local host over the ssh tunnel. The ssh process then passes on the requests to the local X server. > >> BEFORE running ssh, you need to ensure that $DISPLAY is set correctly >> for local connections (probably ":0"). > > 127.0.0.1:0, set by the system.

No, the FAQ is correct. If you had followed it, and still couldn't connect, then your problem had changed. Your original problem was (probably) because you hadn't given permission for remote connections from mikeayers-linux-2. Since ssh -Y connects as a local program, there are no permission problems (assuming you can run a local xterm). First, make sure your X server is running, and your $DISPLAY is set correctly. Now enter the following commands _exactly_: echo $DISPLAY ssh -Y may...@mikeayers-linux-2 echo $DISPLAY xterm If that doesn't work, paste the results in a reply, along with the output of the xhost command (no parameters) run locally. Note that I sometimes have problems connecting to older Linux boxes, where the first ssh connection fails to set up the proxy. In that case, a second attempt (whilst the first is still connected) succeeds. For example, the first connection sets up a non-working proxy of localhost:10.0. Starting a new session sets up a working proxy of localhost:11.0. You might want to try that trick, but if that works, the problem is on the Linux end.

So the problem seems to be that X cannot communicate with the remote host. Do you have another host you could connect to, and if so do you have the same problem? You could try "telnet remotehost 6000". If you can connect, then the X port (6000) is open, and the problem is protocol related. If you get "connection refused", then the port is closed. > The above successful connection seems to isolate the problem to either > cygwin/x, Windows, or the combination of both.

Re: "-query" not working on cygwin/windows
Well, I have now turned on all relevant ports in the Windows firewall. I still can't connnect. I turned on port 177(UDP) and 6000-6006(TCP). I even turned on extra ports as recommend by http://www.starnet.com/xwin32kb/What_ports_need_to_be_opened_for_XDMCP/ this source. I'm about out of ideas. I love to hear some more. I don't know how firewalls work but on the linux host side (CentOS) simplyturning off the firewall did not open the ports. I had to turn the firewall on and specify which ports to open. Otherwise no computers could connect via xdmcp over the network. Thanks for you consideration.

In fact, I tried unset-ing this and very many other env variables before posting the question here. It seems to me that the behavior is unrelated to any env variables.

I confirm this exact behavior. This is exactly the problem I'm experiencing in terms of copy-paste on my XP machine. Specifically, if the vncviewer (TightVNC) is open, and I select a text in a cygwin xterm or emacs, then copy-paste / cut-and-paste completely stops functioning on my machine. Initially, the only way I was aware of to get the copy-paste functionality back was to reboot the machine. But recently I've noticed another way. I run XP's 'clipbrd', which (in the state of no copy-paste functionality) produces one of these two strange outcomes: 1) clipboard displays the following message "ClipBook Viewer cannot display the information in its current format or there is not enough memory to display it. Quit one or more applications to increase the available memory, and try again." 2) clipboard is "going insane", seemingly trying to endlessly scroll down (while simultaneously displaying a message saying "Method Open Fai") and taking up 25-30% of the CPU. In both case, if I click the 'delete' button within the clipboard application (= clear content of clipboard) then the insane behavior stops and copy-paste starts working again as long as no cygwin X application is involved. But the minute I highlight some text in a cygwin X application, the insane behavior within clipbrd resumes. The only way to make things normal again (that I'm aware of) is to kill cygwin/X (which, in this situation, mandates killing all cygwin applications through the task-manager, otherwise they refuse to die and just hang). --Dan -- 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/

I just kill Xwin.exe forcibly in task manager - it takes all X apps with it. However, the better trick I discovered recently is to click on VNC's taskbar icon and close it. Once it closes, the X applications recover and can cut-n-pste with Windows apps. Also, because VNC is VNC, no setup is lost there either - I can reconnect and my console is unharmed. I suspect the problem here may be contention between the two applications that want to share the clipboard. Our other report implicated Office clipboard, which may be doing the same thing..?

This too works for me (but as you say, only if I kill the vncviewer through the context menu that pops up when right clicking its taskbar icon; strangely, killing it through the top right x doesn't produce a similar effect).

I strongly suspect cygwin's xorg is solely to blame: this problem was created immediately after my last upgrade of cygwin during which I unwittingly moved from xfree to xorg.

Re: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Hello Jon, Thank you for your reply. To answer your questions: 1. I have installed all fonts... My typical Cygwin installation is "install", i.e., everything gets selected, both for download and installation. I have found all fonts in the right places. Only the fonts.dir files were missing. 2. Checking /var/log/setup.log... A good idea! It says up-front: "Could not open service McShield for query, start and stop. McAfee may not be installed, or we don't have access." but then keeps going. Everything gets installed with no complaints. Then we get to postinstalls and... every one ends with "abnormal exit: exit code=128" One, catdoc.sh, flags exit code 129, and another one, hicolor-icon-theme.sh, does not flag an abnormal exit at all. All X11 related postinstall scrips, xinit.sh, X-start-menu-icons.sh, x3270.sh, xfig.sh, xinetd.sh, and xpdf.sh flag 128 on exit. Eventually the log says "Installation Complete" and that's it: Here is the excerpt: 2009/02/18 17:40:30 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/xinit.sh 2009/02/18 17:42:04 abnormal exit: exit code=128 2009/02/18 17:42:04 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/X-start-menu-icons.sh 2009/02/18 17:43:38 abnormal exit: exit code=128 2009/02/18 17:43:38 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/x3270.sh 2009/02/18 17:45:12 abnormal exit: exit code=128 2009/02/18 17:45:12 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/xfig.sh 2009/02/18 17:46:46 abnormal exit: exit code=128 2009/02/18 17:46:46 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/xinetd.sh 2009/02/18 17:48:20 abnormal exit: exit code=128 2009/02/18 17:48:20 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/xpdf.sh 2009/02/18 17:49:54 abnormal exit: exit code=128 2009/02/18 17:49:54 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/zsh-profile.sh 2009/02/18 17:51:28 abnormal exit: exit code=128 2009/02/18 18:12:17 note: Installation Complete 2009/02/18 18:12:17 Ending cygwin install cygcheck --sysinfo lists the following font packages: font-adobe-dpi100 1.0.0-1 font-adobe-dpi75 1.0.0-1 font-adobe-utopia-dpi100 1.0.1-1 font-adobe-utopia-dpi75 1.0.1-1 font-adobe-utopia-type1 1.0.1-1 font-alias 1.0.1-1 font-arabic-misc 1.0.0-1 font-bh-dpi100 1.0.0-1 font-bh-dpi75 1.0.0-1 font-bh-lucidatypewriter-dpi100 1.0.0-1 font-bh-lucidatypewriter-dpi75 1.0.0-1 font-bh-ttf 1.0.0-1 font-bh-type1 1.0.0-1 font-bitstream-dpi100 1.0.0-1 font-bitstream-dpi75 1.0.0-1 font-bitstream-speedo 1.0.0-1 font-bitstream-type1 1.0.0-1 font-bitstream-vera-ttf 1.10-1 font-cronyx-cyrillic 1.0.0-1 font-cursor-misc 1.0.0-1 font-daewoo-misc 1.0.0-1 font-dec-misc 1.0.0-1 font-encodings 1.0.2-1 font-ibm-type1 1.0.0-1 font-isas-misc 1.0.0-1 font-jis-misc 1.0.0-1 font-micro-misc 1.0.0-1 font-misc-cyrillic 1.0.0-1 font-misc-meltho 1.0.0-1 font-misc-misc 1.0.0-1 font-mutt-misc 1.0.0-1 font-schumacher-misc 1.0.0-1 font-screen-cyrillic 1.0.1-1 font-sony-misc 1.0.0-1 font-sun-misc 1.0.0-1 font-util 1.0.1-1 font-winitzki-cyrillic 1.0.0-1 font-xfree86-type1 1.0.1-1 In any case, as I said above, it's not really a missing font problem, but a missing fonts.dir problem, perhaps due to the aborted postinstall scripts flagged above. The installation was carried out on Vista under an Administrator account with Account Checking switched off and the fire wall switched off, too. Other missing bits... 1. no /etc/passwd and /etc/group: fixed this with mkpasswd and mkgroup. 2. no /usr/share/misc/man.conf: copied the file from another machine; man works fine now. 3. no dir file in /usr/share/info: made one with install-info; works fine now. Other than the above hiccups, things seem to work. I have configured sshd without problems, X11 works fine now, compilation works fine too, so far.

Today I noticed a new problem, which may or may not be related: [SNIP] mike-ayers-lap> ssh -Y -l mayers mikeayers-linux-2 Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.

BadAlloc
Hi folk, I have a problem with the Xserver. I have installed xorg-x11-base 7.4-1 xorg-x11-bin7.4-1 xorg-x11-bin-dlls 7.4-1 xorg-x11-bin-lndir 7.4-1 xorg-x11-etc7.4-1 xorg-x11-fenc 7.4-1 xorg-x11-fnts 7.4-1 xorg-x11-libs-data 7.4-1 xorg-x11-man-pages 7.4-1 xorg-x11-man-pages-html 7.4-1 xorg-x11-xwin 7.4-1 Under cygwin everything is fine, but when I start a x-Programm like xterm from another machine like Sunos $ uname -a SunOS beadev 5.10 Generic_118822-23 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240 The xterm starts, but when I press a key the x crashes with the following error message - xterm: warning, error event received: X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 136 (XKEYBOARD) Minor opcode of failed request: 16 (XkbSetNamedIndicator) Serial number of failed request: 133 Current serial number in output stream: 137 - I would be happy about any Idea to fix the problem. With the older Version of X i didn't had that problem. I hope that someone can help me Thanks Franz -- 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/

> I am not explicitly running xwinclip - is there an implicit way to be running it? I would think not, that might even be an outdated warning. I don't even have xwinclip installed in my system.

Pardon my ignorance, but until now I wasn't aware there is such a thing as office clipboard. However, according to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipboard_manager even if I have it installed, the office clipboard is open as long as one of the office suite applications are open, and my cygwin copy-paste problems occur even if the only applications alive are (1) a cygwin xterm and (2) a vncviewer. So it appears my problem is unrelated to the office clipboard. --Dan -- 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/
