After upgrading Cygwin the X Server does not start. As far as I can tell the only error message from the command output is:
xinit: XFree86_VT property unexpectedly has 0 items instead of 1
/var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log does not have this message. I have pasted the entire output is at the bottom.
After initally installing from a cygwin mirror, I had used Cygwin Ports to get a recent version of git. My latest update was from Cygwin mirror. Could that have caused the problem?
I have already tried reinstalling everything from cygwin mirror, using the reinstall option for every category. Do I have any other option besides uninstalling everything and reinstalling?

I met the same problem after CygWin upgrade.
xwin works fine for me, and it's clean, without the ugly xterm window.
alias runx="run xwin -multiwindow -noclipboard"
According to Daniel, "-noclipboard" is not a must, Thanks.
I found the answer on Cygwin-X mailing list:
Once I switched to
xinit -- -multiwindow -clipboard &
I was fine.
From http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using.html:##
Note that startxwin no longer exits after ~/.startxwinrc has completed, leaving >X running, but, similar to startx, waits until ~/.startxwinrc exits and then kills X.
If you don't want the X server to exit until explicitly told to do so, end your ~/.startxwinrc with something like exec sleep infinity.
So, put at the end of your ~/.startxwinrc (if the file doesn't exist yet, create it):
exec sleep infinity
I had such a problem, but found that the shortcut for starting xwin had the target
C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe
But changing this to
C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin
makes it work.

When working in Manjaro I getting a weird and annoying notification every 7 minutes about connection failed,
however, at the same time the Internet works for me

I've tried to switch on/off automatic connection in network settings to see if the problem goes away but this not works.

Overall, I am trying to render images using Unity on a remote cluster.
The cluster does not have an X server; I don't have sudo permissions, or can start a Docker container, but I can start a Singularity container.
My plan is to create a container that would simulate the X Server. I created the following Singularity definition file:
Bootstrap: docker
From: nvidia/cuda:10.1-cudnn7-devel-ubuntu18.04
%post
# xvfb for rendering in headless mode
apt-get update
apt-get install -y xvfb mesa-utils xorg
echo "allowed_users = anybody" > /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
I started the container with the option --containall. From the container, I launched the command /usr/bin/X :0, but it failed with the following error:
Singularity xvfb.sif:~> /usr/bin/X :0

Not any /dev/tty* exist. Then I tried to launch startx, but only to get the same message error.
How can I launch an X Server using a Singularity image?
As mentioned in a separate discussion, Xvfb is not supposed to be start through startx or /usr/bin/X but rather with the supplied run script.
I have the error "no drm device found" as shown below.
I thinks the mail error is fatal: failed to create compoitor backend.

How do I launch weston on linux yocto?
Here is the image:
So.. I found the answer to my question
it has three errors logind (systemd) was having trouble access the input keyboard type
second one is drm device is not found which implies that you have trouble accesing your output port. try to troubleshoot the port make it accessible to the board and then try to launch weston with correct config.
NOTE: Weston wayland wont launch if you dont have keyboard or a mouse connected preferably a usb
After updating to the latest Cygwin distribution, I can no longer connect to X server. When I run startxwin (on a fresh Cygwin install), I get the following errors:

The XWin.#.log looks okay (I think):

This recent cygwin link shows one failure mode related to Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) not working with the 32-bit version of XWin on 64-bit machines.
One solution (if that's the problem) is to add an exception for XWin.exe to SEP; or you can also disable SEM while you invoke XWin.
To add a SEP exception, open SEP, Change Settings -> Exceptions [Configure Settings].
To disable SEP, right click on the icon in the system tray, and disable it all. Start XWin. Don't forget to turn SEP back on.
I tried to setup NAS (Network Audio System ) in RHEL 6 by two methods:
First, by RPM install,
[root#localhost ~]# rpm -Uvh nas-1.9.2-1.el6.x86_64.rpm nas-libs-1.9.2-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
it gets installed, but I cannot find the service in /etc/init.d/ directory.
only /etc/nas/nasd.conf file gets created. And if I run the command
[root#localhost ~]# nasd
Network Audio System Release 1.9.2
Network Audio System Release 1.9.2
Init: Output open(/dev/dsp) failed: No such file or directory
Fatal server error:
could not create audio connection block info
Secondly, by Configuring latest tar-ball nas-1.9.3.src.tar.gz provided by NAS site.
but the problem is same.
Please help me to install this properly, as I want to get enable the audio for qt based applications, and qt uses NAS for its audio functionalities.
Tried Very much by NAS but not succeed to resolve my problem.
Then i used Phonon library to resolve sound issue !!
Thanx anyways for helping me! :)
okay. well it's been a while but...
you dont have enough perms to open the underlying socket.

EDIT: initMixer: could not open output mixer device /dev/mixer: No such file or directory
This can be fixed by placing mixer ="" in the nasd.conf (even though the docs state it won't be honoured, it is)
Also: remember to set your AUDIOSERVER env variable
export AUDIOSERVER=tcp/localhost:8000
Is the default but never hurts to be certain...
Final thoughts:
by default many x server now -nolisten tcp and that could be an issue in implementation to consider.
nmap is your friend.
And, for the record, I still haven't actually got an end-to-end system working...
Hopefully some other kind soul will jump in and point out anything I have missed.
Hope it helps.
I don't have a rhel box... but it's probably the same perms issue.
The docs are "thin" at best
