Re: XDMCP remote login freezes for Gnome desktop, but not XFCE.
Also Note: if I install packages tsclient and xnest in Ubuntu, I can successfully do a XDMCP login on the Ubuntu box to itself. In other words, I can have a gnome desktop within a gnome desktop just fine this way (which uses XDMCP). So maybe it is a Cygwin issue somehow after all... I'm not sure where the bug is: Cygwin? GDM? Some Gnome component? Maybe I need to install certain additional Cygwin packages related to X.org on the Windows box? Cheers, Dustin.

I can't find any helpful error messages in /var/log/ however (on the Ubuntu machine). I've "tail -f"'ed syslog, messages, user.log, daemon.log. Has anyone one this mailing list seen this problem, and can you suggest a fix? I'll also be scouring Ubuntu's launchpad bug database and user forums, and perhaps file a bug there.

Re: gnome desktop
Hi Robert, Robert Wolf sears.ca> writes: > I noticed there is a 'gnome' package in cygwin. Is this a complete gnome > desktop that I can run locally? If so how to start it up? Unfortunately not. I've given up on getting gnome to work out of the box. If you search on sourceforge.net for cygnome, you'll find instructions which allow you to point your cygwin setup.exe at alternative archive. This contains various gnome components. I've found that inspite of the ease with which the installer builds most things, getting gnome to run is a real nightmare. I had to symlink various library_version.dll's to library.dll's in the /bin dir. This got it working to a point where my desktop seg-faulted and my own patience collapsed. I haven't actually seen many mortals with working cygnome implementations and, in answer to your question, simply including the 'gnome' stuff in the initial set-up doesn't do much more than load in a number of applications and gtk libraries. You "don't" get gnome-session. Once's you have managed to get it on your box, it's still hell to set-up. Don't give up, but do report your feed back. I for one would be interested.

gnome desktop
Hello I have installed the latest version of cygwin and all the packages. Everything is working well including X-windows. I can start up xterm sessions on remote machines and run remote x-client programs and they display correctly on my PC. I noticed there is a 'gnome' package in cygwin. Is this a complete gnome desktop that I can run locally? If so how to start it up?

gnome desktop on cygwin-xfree86
There has been some interest in porting gnome to cygwin on this list in the past. I have succeeded in getting (most of) the gnome 1.4 base libraries and desktop ported. I do not have sufficient web space to distribute binaries, but the source modifications I made are available as patches from: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/steven.obrien2/ I did post this as new software on the cygwin home page, and it appeared for a few hours yesterday but now has been removed. Anyway, If anyone has the time to build gnome for cygwin using these patches then please have a go. The panel, control center, midnight commander file manager, and many applets are working. Steven
