Hi all,

First mail, so while I'm fairly sure it's on topic please forgive me if it isn't.

Has anyone tried to get a docker container with an X app in it to connect to the cygwin x server?

When I run startxwin after starting the wslg container the cygwin Xserver comes in at address (word?) :1 rather than :0, so the two servers can recognize each other (at least to some degree). I can run a cygwin X app in a cygwin console and get an X window, and I can run a wslg app in a wsl bash instance and get an X window, each on their respective servers. But when I set the env DISPLAY in one to the X of the other, it breaks.

This isn't just a stupid ask for a redundant use-case, either. The cygwin X server is vastly superior to the wslg one, at least insofar as integration with the windows 10 chrome; cygwin X windows no matter the library will snap like a regular windows window will. Anything coming out of wslg, at least when it comes to gtk3 (emacs-git) and QT4 (qutebrowser), have no native window decorations and don't snap. I've also been unable to find a way to run a docker container as a single X root window (ie to run a DE inside of a container) but I bet if I could connect to the cygwin X server that'd be fairly straightforward.

I'll be the first to admit I don't know too much about X so is what I'm asking even possible? (I do mainly use linux, but normally X is one of those things that i dont fiddle with much)

UItimately/mostly I'm just fed up of being stuck in Windows windowland at work and not having emacs-git*. At least thats how i landed on this topic, but it seems to me being able to run a docker container and have it hook into a cygwin X server that's already running would be a good feature generally. Especially if it would enable me to disable WSL again.

(*As an aside: while I have gotten it to compile, and it runs in the console, so many tests break that I'm afraid to even try compiling it for gtk3; so a docker container of debian stable seemed a logical next step and i half-expected it to just work, to be honest, given how seamless the rest of my cygwin experience has been recently, and I would put money on these two issues being on docker/docker-desktop/wsl, given how poor wslg's integration is despite being a microsoft project)

If it's of any help in understanding this, in wsl I set DISPLAY=:0
and can start X apps that connect to the Cygwin X server.  I wonder
if there are issues trying to run two X servers at the same time ...

Moss,

Have you made any major changes to your cygwin X server settings? I tried this with a fresh install of the cygwin Xserver suite, first thing i did, but was unable to get it to work. 

I assume you are using Docker Desktop? Do you have it integrated with WSL? 

Thanks for the quick reply! This will be my last for the night. Don't want to flood.

I was not referring to Docker at all.

My XWin.0.log contains this:

XWin :0 -multiwindow -clipboard -wgl -ac -unixkill -listen tcp -clipboard -resize -engine 1 
-emulate3buttons 100 -dpi 144

And since this has to do more with MinGW than with Cygwin, it's would be 
better discussed on the mingw-users@lists.sf.net list.  I likewise have 
redirected this there.

If you're building a MinGW of GCC then why are the newlib headers being 
included for the target binary?  Perhaps 
http://www.mingw.org/mingwfaq.shtml#faq-cross might help.

I can't find any reference to syslogd for CYGWIN, although there is a syslog(1).
Isn't this daemon necessary to write a /var/log/messages file?

I ask because I'm still trying to get inetd to work, and I've gotten so far:

   $ telnet $(uname -n)
   Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ...
   Connected to myhost.domain
   Escape character is '^]'.
   Connection closed by foreign host.

and I wanted to try to enable debugging for telnetd in /etc/inet.conf, but I can't
make out where it might be going to.
