RE: Problem with installing Cygwin/X on Windows 10 PC: no icon created

[Zuowei Wang]

Dear Marco,

Thank you very much for the suggestion!

I have run the command line as you suggested and got the output of xinit-1.3.4-14, but nothing else happened. Is there anything else I need to do, say reboot the PC?

Many thanks,

Zuowei

the Cygwin-X entries in the Menu are created by the
script:

/etc/postinstall/xinit.sh{.done}

It belongs to the package
$ cygcheck -f /etc/postinstall/xinit.sh
xinit-1.3.4-14

You can run it again by the cygwin terminal.

Dear All,

I have been trying multiple times to install Cygwin/X on my Windows 10 PC using setup-x86_64.exe and as an administrator. Even though the installation was shown to be successful, there was NO Cygwin-X icons such as XLaunch/Xwin Server icons created either on Desktop or Start menu. I have followed the installation instructions precisely and read through many posts about installation of Cygwin/X, but couldn't find any solutions.

To give some more background: I have been installing Cygwin and Cygwin/X many times on different windows PCs and never had such a problem before. On this Windows 10 PC, the Cgywin64 Terminal was installed successfully and is running properly. But Cygwin/X does seem to be installed properly.

Any suggestions will be high appreciated.

Hi Zouwei,
it seems something is interfering on your Cygwin.

What system and AV do you have ?

Can you follow https://cygwin.com/problems.html
and provide as attachment the cygcheck.out ?

What is the output of
   rebase -si | grep cygiconv-2.dll

and of
   grep System32 /proc/self/maps | head -n 5


Regards
Marco

Hello,

These errors are from an AV. Many AVs try to block "stack pivots"
which interferes with Cygwin's implementation of fork(2). AV vendors
are becoming rather brazen and their products rather annoying; I've
had to threaten to just keep reinstalling the OS on work machines to
get rid of the AV.

But also once IT added a policy that should have allowed X11 it was
still not working. AVs can silently kill things with no warning, but I
am not sure if that is it or if Cygwin's X11 is broken.

I had to use Xming with DISPLAY=localhost:0.0. In restrospect Xming is
likely the reason Cygwin's DISPLAY defaults to "ocalhost:0.0."

Cheers,
    R0b0t1

[Zuowei Wang]

Dear Marco,

Thank you very much for the suggestions.

Concerning your questions:

1. What system and AV do you have ?

System type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor (Intel(r) Core(tm) i7-6700CPU @3.40GHz)
Operating system: Windows 10 Enterprise
AV: Sophos Anti-Virus; Windows firewall

2. Can you follow https://cygwin.com/problems.html and provide as attachment the cygcheck.out ?

The cygcheck.out file is 891KB in size, so when being attached as a plain-text attachment, the email was rejected. Would it be possible to send this output file to a different email address or in two separate files?

There is no "/var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log" file in the related directory.

3. What is the output of rebase -si | grep cygiconv-2.dll

$ rebase -si | grep cygiconv-2.dll
/usr/bin/cygiconv-2.dll
            base 0x0003e3ca0000 size 0x00105000

can you disable it or exclude the cygwin directory ?
I bet it is the AV as it is known to create problems:

send it to my personal address,
together with maps.txt

   cat  /proc/self/maps > maps.txt

this looks fine but the BLODA is interfering with the
first process load:
Loaded to different address: parent(0x3FD990000) != child(0x3E3CA0000)

RE: Problem with installing Cygwin/X on Windows 10 PC: no icon created

[Zuowei Wang]

Dear Marco (and R0b0t1),

Following your suggestions, I have tried to re-install X11 in the Windows Safe Mode to exclude the influence of AV. The X icons still didn't show up. So I am not sure the problem was caused by AV.

On the other hand, I tried to run the \etc\postinstall\xinit.sh.done and \etc\postinstall\xlaunch.sh.done commands in the Cygwin terminal. Now both the Xwin Server and XLaunch icons showed up under the Cygwin-X direction in the Start Menu. Thanks for the guidance in the previous email!

However, when trying to run XLaunch, I got the problem of "A fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit. Can't read lock file /tmp/.X0-lock".  I have tried the following to resolve the problem (as instructed in FAQ Q. 2.3 and Q. 4.2):


1)      In the start menu shortcut,  amended the target of Xwin Server to add an "-- -nolock" option, which didn't work;

2)      In the Cygwin terminal, ran "startxwin -- -nolock", but got the error

" cat: /tmp/.X0-lock: No such file or directory
                 xauth:  error in locking authority file /home/xp902121/.serverauth.5048
                 xauth:  timeout in locking authority file /home/xp902121/.Xauthority"

So far, I still couldn't solve the problem. If you have any suggestions, that will be very appreciated. If needed, I may send separate email to the mailing list.

Many thanks,

Zuowei

Dear All,

I have been trying multiple times to install Cygwin/X on my Windows 10 PC using setup-x86_64.exe and as an administrator. Even though the installation was shown to be successful, there was NO Cygwin-X icons such as XLaunch/Xwin Server icons created either on Desktop or Start menu. I have followed the installation instructions precisely and read through many posts about installation of Cygwin/X, but couldn't find any solutions.

To give some more background: I have been installing Cygwin and Cygwin/X many times on different windows PCs and never had such a problem before. On this Windows 10 PC, the Cgywin64 Terminal was installed successfully and is running properly. But Cygwin/X does seem to be installed properly.

Any suggestions will be high appreciated.

Best regards,

the Cygwin-X entries in the Menu are created by the
script:

  /etc/postinstall/xinit.sh{.done}

It belongs to the package
$ cygcheck -f /etc/postinstall/xinit.sh
xinit-1.3.4-14

You can run it again by the cygwin terminal.
