The server is never started - no process in the Windows "Resource Monitor". When I try to start xedit (or whatever X based app) nothing happens, nothing appears. As for FAQ, I'm afraid I don't see anything that might help. I looked before I posted the original e-mail. ---John On Wed, Jul 13, 2011 at 8:21 AM, Jon TURNEY w= rote: > On 12/07/2011 09:10, Jan Chludzinski wrote: >> I just did a complete installation of X11 from Cygwin 1.7 setup.exe. >> But when I try to start the "XWin Server" using the "Start" menu >> nothing happens. =A0If I try either "startxwin" or "startx" or "xinit" >> from the BASH shell I get: >> >> giving up. >> startxwin: =A0No such file or directory (errno 2): =A0unable to connect = to X server >> startxwin: =A0No such process (errno 3): =A0Server error. >> >> Any suggestions? > > Looking at the XWin.0.log you attached, it looks like the X server is sta= rting > up successfully. > > If clients are unable to connect, this might be due to firewall configura= tion > or other software which interferes with cygwin sockets (see [1] in the > Cygwin/X FAQ for some suggestions) > > [1] http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-cannot-open-display > > -- > Jon TURNEY > Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer > -- 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/
