Re: cygwin x11 doesn't start after windows 10 upgrade
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/. 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 : > > On 13.06.2020 11:55, Steinar Bang wrote: >>> Steinar Bang : >>> Marco Atzeri via Cygwin : can you start X11 with startxwin ?

FWIW I have used cygwin ssh for two things: 1. Launching mosh sessions (this still worked after the Win10 upgrade) 2. Running "ssh -Y " sessions from lxterminal launched with XWin by xlaunch and it has worked fine until the reboot followed by the Win10 upgrade. mosh still works, and normal ssh (without -Y) from cygwin terminals still works, after the Win10 upgrade. > can you reset the default > db_home: /home/%U > close all processes and try X again ? > This should use /home/sbang as your new home and > we can see if it is a permission problem that is causing > issue to Xwin I changed the /etc/nsswitch.conf file, and rebooted to ensure all processes had been killed. But cygwin still seemed to use the windows profile directory. I still have HOME set to the profile directory. I have all of my unix-y program setup files there (used by GNU emacs, git bash, and mingw utilities) But still no luck in launching XWin, either with xlaunch or from the command line.

I renamed environment HOME to HOME_DISABLED (in advanced system settings) and rebooted. cmd.exe showed that HOME was gone.

"kubectl exec" in Cygwin gets "Upgrade request required", but not in cmd shell
I've been using kubectl in Cygwin on Windows 10 for quite a while, to communicate to our in-house k8s clusters. I often use "kubectl exec" to open a shell in a container or directly execute a shell command. This has worked perfectly fine for a long time. A couple of days ago, I discovered that all of these attempts were failing with "Upgrade request required". I hadn't upgraded kubectl or Cygwin in quite a while. I doubt our clusters had a k8s upgrade, but it's entirely possible. A colleague of mine has a very similar desktop configuration (Windows 10, Cygwin), and he's not seeing this symptom. I noticed that when I ran "kubectl exec" with max verbosity, it shows the resulting "curl" command that it runs. I tried that resulting command, and it results in the same response. I then tried updating my Cygwin tools and retesting, no change. I then took the entire resulting "kubectl exec" command line and ran it in a "cmd" shell. No problem at all. No error. I know I haven't provided much useful information yet. I wanted to get an initial response before I started providing those diagnostics. Is there a clear issue here that I'm not aware of? -- 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

I wish it would have resolved it to the cygdrive prefix, because then it would have worked (and would have been /cygdrive/C/Windows). Maybe cygwin is getting confused by the WLS ubuntu install I have? It puts its mounts under /mnt, but cygwin has always used the /cygdrive path. ..wayne.. -- 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
