Re: Hello
Hi John, I suppose you are trying an install from localdirectory. Because you didn't download the X11-packages (because you used only the default-option only defaultz packages were downloaded). Why not reading the Installation-Howo? http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup-cygwin-x-installing.html Marco John Emmas schrieb: - Original Message - From: Christopher Faylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Hello Rerun http://cygwin.com/setup.exe, keep hitting Next, and when it gets to the Select Packages screen, maximimize the screen and you'll see an X11 category on the bottom. You can either install everything by clicking once on the Default next to the X11 or you can click on the plus to see the available packages and install the packages individually. Thanks Christopher, When I first installed, I left everything set at 'Default'. Now I've re-run the setup program and I navigated to that screen with X11 at the bottom. The categories all have a little + sign and if I click it, they expand and give various sub-options. But if I click the + sign for 'X11' there are no sub-options. The only thing I can do with the X11 branch is change it from 'Default' to 'Install'. However, that makes no difference to the installed file count. This makes me suspect that X11 is probably already installed. Is there a way to check?

When I click on the Cygwin desktop icon (I'm running it under Windows XP) it opens a DOS type window and I can search around my various folders etc. I've tried looking for things like 'xwin' or 'startx' and stuff like that but I can't find anything. Is there a way to find out if X got installed? If you didn't specify that X should be installed then X was not installed.

September 2005 22:55 An: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Betreff: problem I have installed cygwin and everything seems to run smoothly except I can't get any display to work. If I execute XWin then it opens up a grey window with an X at the top followed by Cygwin/X-0:0 and that's it. There's no menu options or anything. If i do XWin -query remote_host then the same thing comes up with Cygwin/X- remote_host. If I connect with ssh -Y remote_host it connects me but if i try to execute something that requires a display...such as xeyes...Then it says connect 127.0.0.1 port 6000: Connection refused/ Xconnection to localhost:12.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown) So i don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Does this also work, if I install the Xmins on the USB-Stick? So that I can use it like XliveUSB-Stick (like the XliveCD from http://xlivecd.indiana.edu/?

März 2005 22:33 An: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Betreff: XWin minimal installation This might be of interest to some people in the list, so there it goes. I've just finished making a small distribution of X/Cygwin (only 2Mb), and have placed it in the following address: http://www.iteisa.com/xmins/ (xmins--XWin Minimal Installation) What I've done basically is take the necessary cygwin and X/Cygwin files and package them in a convenient (and small, I might add) way, so that I can carry it around in a usb stick, or download it in a short time from the internet in case of need. I know it's not a full X/Cygwin server (most extensions are not working, like xkb or xfixes), but it's enough to i.e. run a remote gnome session or start some programs through ssh in a remote host. There are some things I don't actually like about how it has turned out, actually, the main being that it doesn't support xkb(it always said couldn't load keymap, I think it's because of the binary- mounting /tmp thingy) and that it is needing windows scripting host right now to ask for a host to query. For the later the solution would be to create a frontend to allow selecting most of the xserver options such as -query -indirect, etc... This frontend would also allow me to delete all those awfull entries from the start menu (there are 9 right now) -- Juan José Gutiérrez de Quevedo Director Técnico ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ITEISA (http://www.iteisa.com)
