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

[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

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

$ grep System32 /proc/self/maps | head -n 5

Sorry to both again. Below is what I got when running the command in the Cygwin terminal :

$ /etc/postinstall/xinit-1.3.4-14.sh
      1 [main] bash 4160 child_info_fork::abort: C:\cygwin64\bin\cygiconv-2.dll: Loaded to different address: parent(0x3FD990000) != child(0x3E3CA0000)

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.

Best regards,
