From: Michel Poirier <michel.poirier@cea.fr> To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Cygwin XWin 1.17.1 crash at startup Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2015 20:31:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <551AE926.5050905@cea.fr> (raw) [-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1823 bytes --] Dear Cygwin maintainer Since last X-Cygwin update several of my X-Win applications are not working properly. Googling "cygwin xorg 1.17 crash" gave many posts reporting probably similar issues but I couldn't find a fix for the error. I also looked at the Cygwin-FAQ and mailing list without real success. The issue appeared using a long-time tested DOS script launching xmgrace which failed with a message telling "A fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit." And other XWin programs were not working properly. So I tried to make a fresh install of X-Cygwin (32 bits) on another computer and went through the procedure explained on page http://x.cygwin.com/devel/backtrace.html which produced the debug info attached as "backtrace for X server crashing at startup.txt". The X Server crashed when the r command was launched and a copy of the Windows error message is provided at "Capture of Windows error message.txt". I checked that no other X Server was then running and clicked Ok button to finish the procedure. The content of the file /var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log is listed at the end of the first attached file. I also tried to install the most recent xlaunch program as suggested here https://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2015-02/msg00089.html but it did not solve the issue. Sorry for asking something that might be FAQ but as I told I could not find a clear answer elsewhere and indeed xlaunch reproduced the error consistently. Thanking you in advance for your assistance, and of course for providing this invaluable software that is cygwin.
