Hello, If you ever find it out, I have the same situation (win10, X startup fail with connection refused) Also Windows 10, but I do not know, when it starts, I am not using X very often. I tried to re-install the complete x-packages of Cygwin, also started from scratch with my dot-files in the home dir, and my home dir is not my windows home but /home/<username>.
If I can help in finding out it, please let me know, what I can do Regards, Holger > Am 13.06.2020 um 13:31 schrieb Marco Atzeri via Cygwin <cygwin@cygwin.com>: > > On 13.06.2020 11:55, Steinar Bang wrote: >>>>>>> Steinar Bang <s...@dod.no>: >>>>>>> Marco Atzeri via Cygwin <cygwin@cygwin.com>: >>>> can you start X11 with startxwin ? >>>> If you start with just "XWin :0 -multiwindow -clipboard" >>>> does it work ? >>> startxwin isn't found: >>> sbang@ITEM-S63383:~$ startxwin >>> -bash: startxwin: command not found >>> sbang@ITEM-S63383:~$ which startxwin >>> which: no startxwin in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files >>> (x86)/Common >>> Files/Oracle/Java/javapath:/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Oracle/Java/javapath:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:/cygdrive/c/Program >>> Files/Intel/WiFi/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Common >>> Files/Intel/WirelessCommon:/cygdrive/c/Program >>> Files/Git/cmd:/cygdrive/c/ProgramFiles/apache-maven-3.6.3/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program >>> Files >>> (x86)/Calibre2:/cygdrive/c/ProgramFiles/GnuWin32/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program >>> Files/nodejs:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:/cygdrive/c/Program >>> Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_241/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program >>> Files/PuTTY:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/OpenSSH:/cygdrive/d/Profiles/sbang/AppData/Local/ >>> >>> Microsoft/WindowsApps:/cygdrive/d/Profiles/sbang/AppData/Local/Programs/Fiddler:/cygdrive/d/Profiles/sbang/AppData/Roaming/npm:/cygdrive/c/Program >>> Files/Microsoft VS Code/bin:/cygdrive/c/Application >>> >>> s/Atlassian/atlassian-plugin-sdk-8.0.16/bin:/cygdrive/d/Profiles/sbang/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps:/cygdrive/d/Profiles/sbang/apps/bin:/usr/local/go) >>> sbang@ITEM-S63383:~$ >>> I thought it might be because xorg-scripts wasn't installed, so I >>> installed xorg-scripts 1.0.1-1, but it didb't make startxwin appear. >>> I *do* have xorg-server 1.20.5-3 installed (and it was working until a >>> couple of days ago). >>> startxwin is supposed to be installed with xorg-server? >> I was missing the xinit package and installed xinit 1.4.1-1 and then I >> got startxwin. >> It failed in the startup with messages that looks similar to the ones >> output to the log file: >> sbang@ITEM-S63383:~$ startxwin >> xauth: file /cygdrive/d/Profiles/sbang/.Xauthority does not exist >> xauth: file /cygdrive/d/Profiles/sbang/.Xauthority does not exist >> Welcome to the XWin X Server >> Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project >> Release: 1.20.5.0 >> OS: CYGWIN_NT-10.0-18363 ITEM-S63383 3.1.5-340.x86_64 2020-06-01 08:59 UTC >> x86_64 >> OS: Windows 10 [Windows NT 10.0 build 18363] (Win64) >> Package: version 1.20.5-3 built 2019-09-06 >> XWin was started with the following command line: >> /usr/bin/XWin :0 -multiwindow -auth >> /cygdrive/d/Profiles/sbang/.serverauth.1056 >> (II) xorg.conf is not supported >> (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information >> LoadPreferences: /cygdrive/d/Profiles/sbang/.XWinrc not found >> LoadPreferences: Loading /etc/X11/system.XWinrc >> LoadPreferences: Done parsing the configuration file... >> winDetectSupportedEngines - RemoteSession: no >> winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw4 installed, allowing ShadowDDNL >> winDetectSupportedEngines - Returning, supported engines 00000005 >> xinit: giving up >> xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused > > > this looks like another program blocking the effort > and it can be as Xwin can NOT write files with the needed > permission on your home directory > > > What is the output of > grep home /etc/nsswitch.conf > > Regards > Marco > > -- > Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html > FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ > Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html > Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
