Running WinXP, latest service pak and fixes. I had problems with xwin from the Cygwin 1.5.25-15 pegging one of my CPUs at full usage when connecting to an Ubuntu 9.1 box. So I decided to try the 1.7 beta. Well, now that I've upgraded I am having problems connecting to the Ubuntu box.
I connect to the Ubuntu box and get the initial log-on screen. Typed in user name, hit return, then got prompt for password. But as soon as I typed in the password and hit return the XWin session immediately exited. I repeated this process several times. $ cat /var/log/XWin.0.log Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 1.7.1.0 (10701000) Build Date: 2009-10-25 Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com XWin was started with the following command line: xwin -query 172.16.18.196 ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1200 h 1600 winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning 2009-10-30 14:21:49 _ XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for i net6 2009-10-30 14:21:49 _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/SBA2UA8350Q Y7:0 2009-10-30 14:21:49 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listen er for inet6 2009-10-30 14:21:49 XDMCP warning: INET6 UDP socket creation failed 2009-10-30 14:21:49 winValidateArgs - g_iNumScreens: 1 iMaxConsecutiveScreen: 1 2009-10-30 14:21:49 (II) xorg.conf is not supported 2009-10-30 14:21:49 (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information 2009-10-30 14:21:49 winPrefsLoadPreferences: /etc/X11/system.XWinrc 2009-10-30 14:21:49 LoadPreferences: Done parsing the configuration file... 2009-10-30 14:21:49 winGetDisplay: DISPLAY=:0.0 2009-10-30 14:21:49 winDetectSupportedEngines - Windows NT/2000/XP 2009-10-30 14:21:49 winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw installed 2009-10-30 14:21:49 winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw4 installed 2009-10-30 14:21:49 winDetectSupportedEngines - Returning, supported engines 000 00007 2009-10-30 14:21:49 winSetEngine - Using Shadow DirectDraw NonLocking 2009-10-30 14:21:49 winAdjustVideoModeShadowDDNL - Using Windows display depth o f 32 bits per pixel 2009-10-30 14:21:49 winFinishScreenInitFB - Masks: 00ff0000 0000ff00 000000ff 2009-10-30 14:21:49 Screen 0 added at XINERAMA coordinate (0,0). 2009-10-30 14:21:49 MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support 2009-10-30 14:21:49 XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel 2009-10-30 14:21:49 (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.s o 2009-10-30 14:21:49 (II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0 2009-10-30 14:21:49 winPointerWarpCursor - Discarding first warp: 547 784 2009-10-30 14:21:49 (--) 3 mouse buttons found 2009-10-30 14:21:49 (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31 2009-10-30 14:21:49 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "00000409" (00000409) 2009-10-30 14:21:49 (--) Using preset keyboard for "English (USA)" (409), type " 4" 2009-10-30 14:21:49 Rules = "base" Model = "pc105" Layout = "us" Variant = "none " Options = "none" 2009-10-30 14:21:50 winProcEstablishConnection - Hello 2009-10-30 14:21:50 winProcEstablishConnection - Xdmcp, waiting to start clipboa rd client until 4th call... 2009-10-30 14:21:52 winInitClipboard () 2009-10-30 14:21:52 winProcEstablishConnection - winInitClipboard returned. 2009-10-30 14:21:52 winClipboardProc - Hello 2009-10-30 14:21:52 DetectUnicodeSupport - Windows NT/2000/XP 2009-10-30 14:21:52 winGetDisplay: DISPLAY=:0.0 2009-10-30 14:21:52 winClipboardProc - DISPLAY=:0.0 2009-10-30 14:21:52 winProcQueryTree - Hello 2009-10-30 14:21:52 winProcQueryTree - Clipboard client already launched, return ing. 2009-10-30 14:21:52 winClipboardProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display. 2009-10-30 14:22:05 winClipboardIOErrorHandler! 2009-10-30 14:22:05 winClipboardProc - setjmp returned for IO Error Handler. 2009-10-30 14:22:05 winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress -- 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/
