Problem connecting to Solaris 8 systems using Xwin

Problem connecting to Solaris 8 systems using Xwin

[Martin McNelis]

Hi,

I've googled and searched the archives for a fix for this and although I've
seen many people with the same problem I have yet to see a solution that
works.

When connecting to a Solaris * system with the usual:
xwin -query $solarisbox

It hangs at the Egg Timer.  Black screen, white egg timer.

If I use:
xwin -query $solarisbox -fp tcp/$solarisbox:7100

I get the following:
$ xwin -query snail -fp tcp/snail:7100
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Error:            Can't find file "pc/uk" for symbols include
>                   Exiting
>                   Abandoning symbols file "default"
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Error:            Can't find file "pc/uk" for symbols include
>                   Exiting
>                   Abandoning symbols file "default"
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

and the screen flashes three times as it attempts to load the next screen
then fails.

This works perfectly with Solaris 2.6 boxes.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,
Martin

This a strange problem. Can you please send me /tmp/XWin.log?

Martin,

It just occurred to me that you never (and you only posted one message 
that I can see) stated what version of XFree86-xserv you had installed.

 From a Cygwin bash shell, run the following command and send the 
reported version to the mailing list:

cygcheck -c XFree86-xserv

This indicates that these entries in the configfile are not
written with quotation marks. eg 

	Option "XkbVariant" = "nodeadkeys"

Either this is a broken installation where some files in /etc/X11/xkb
are not properly installed or Solaris calls xkbcomp with wrong values.

Btw: The keyboard layout for the U.K. is called gb. I'm not sure
if uk means something else, but IÄve found no other definition in the
Cygwin/X distribution.

I don't think so. I've used cygwin/X to connect to Solaris 8 too and had
no problems. If it is even crashing then there must be a bigger problem.

Have you started XWin with special parameters (eg -multiwindow, -clipboard)?

@Harold: Do you have a debug build ready. I'd like Martin to try it in 
gdb to get a backtrace where the server crashed.

No, I do not have a debug build ready.  I could perhaps make one, but it 
will take a bit.

Harold,

Perhaps it would make sense to turn on debugging info in all "test"
releases.  Alternatively, IIRC gdb allows importing external debugging
info, so you might want to have the (versioned) debugging info available
for the "test" releases.  I'm not certain exactly how to extract this
information from the build, so unless someone chimes in before that, I'll
try to look it up sometime later today, and will post instructions to this
list if I find anything.

Here's the info you asked for:

$ cygcheck -c XFree86-xserv
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
XFree86-xserv        4.3.0-20       OK

My installation is a new install from last week using the Base packages, no
additions except XFree86, no config changes.

Cheers,
Martin

Well, then your installation was from an out of date mirror. 
XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-20 was released on October 17th, and there have been 
20 versions released since then with major changes:

http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/server/changelog.html

Please rerun Cygwin's setup.exe and let it update your distribution for 
you.  A known-good mirror is mirrors.kernel.org.

By the way, could you report the mirror that you used?  Somebody should 
check it for trouble.

Hope that helps,

Harold

Hi Harold,

I've updated as follows:

$ cygcheck -c XFree86-xserv
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
XFree86-xserv        4.3.0-40       OK

Unfortunately it hasn't fixed the problem:

$ xwin -query snail -fp tcp/snail:7100

Martin,

[Please do not cc me on replies.  I am subscribed to the list, I am only 
cc'ing you because you do not appear to be on the list; if you are on 
the list, please ask me to stop cc'ing you.]

 From a Cygwin bash shell, run 'set' and report the values of any of the 
following:

XAPPLRESDIR
XCMSDB
XKEYSYMDB
XNLSPATH
