XFreeRdp use xrandr to detect screens in multiscreen mode and this is some issue to run XFreeRdp session only on 2 or 3 screens.

XQuartz, utf-8 and filenames

This is a question in the continuation of this one: UTF8 filenames and shell utilities : the nightmare of utf-8 and filenames is…. How to avoid this confusion with most notably the ls command on filnames created in the following way: $ echo $LANG en_US.UTF-8 $ mkdir test $ cd test $ touch á $ touch a´ $ The first file is created by typing alt ⌥+E, A, the second one by typing A, alt ⌥+shift ⇧+E Within an xterm window I get: $ ls -al total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 hal admin 136 Nov 11 15:52 . drwxr-x--- 7 hal admin 4386 Nov 11 14:25 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 hal admin 0 Nov 11 15:52 a´ -rw-r--r-- 1 hal admin 0 Nov 11 15:48 a´ $ Which is wrong. Within a Terminal window I get: $ ls -al total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 hal admin 136 Nov 11 15:52 . drwxr-x--- 7 hal admin 4386 Nov 11 14:25 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 hal admin 0 Nov 11 15:52 a´ -rw-r--r-- 1 hal admin 0 Nov 11 15:48 á $ Which is right. The result is the same whichever shell I use: bash or zsh. What xterm or XQuartz setting will avoid these 2 filenames to falsely look the same? This problem doesn't exist on Mavericks (MacOS X 10.9).

macOS Catalina Version 10.15.5 I have downloaded XQuartz from following page (https://www.xquartz.org/) . The application installed and shown on the Utilities folder. When I open it, it is shown a second on the docker and always gone away (quits itself). It does not show up on the running applications, so I crashes due to some reason. enter image description here I don't know how can I fix this issue, since I am not able to open the application. Is there any way can I fix this issue?

XQuartz has a black background with all apps
I'm running M1 Big Sur with Xquartz. For some reason, the background of all apps run with Xquartz is black (and it sometimes flickers). It seems that XQuartz is trying to help out by forcing a "Dark Mode". Why does that happen?

I am on Monterey 12.7.6 with XQuartz 2.8.5 (xorg-server 21.1.6). At some point the Caps Lock toggles : With the light on it prints lower case. With the light off it prints uppercase. This happens in a xterm window. If I switch to a mac window, the caps lock corresponds to the light status. Only solution is restart XQuartz. I would like to know if there is an alternative solution, because I have a few windows open with ssh sessions to remote machines. Thanks, Regards

Is there a way to re-size the XQuartz window?

I am using a Macbook Pro (16-inch 2019, OSX 12.6.5) with X2go to connect to a remote Linux unit. When I connect my Macbook to a secondary display, using the "extended display mode", XQuartz opens an extremely wide window, which roughly covers the size of my two combined displays (main and extended). I am not able to re-size this XQuartz window, nor have I found any setting to put a limit to/regulate the dimensions. I have read this thread (https://apple.stackexchange.com/q/340555/499799) but apparently, I am not able to split the screen with another app because XQuartz immediately hides its window. Do you have hints/suggestions? Thank you very much!

After installing MacPorts and some software through that way, I noticed that MacPorts installed X.Org. I've already installed XQuartz years ago and I'm really fine with it. My 1. question is: Do I need the installed X.Org from MacPorts to run software like KeepNote or Gedit, which was installed automatically by MacPorts, or **am I free to uninstall X.Org** and leave XQuartz instead? My 2. question is: What about the other way round? Keeping the automatically installed X.Org and remove XQuartz? edit: changed the question and added a second one.

I'm on Ventura. I'm trying to log in to a remote Linux machine with X11 forwarding enabled. I followed these steps: 1. Install XQuartz (from the downloadable package on their website, not from brew). 2. Reboot my Mac 3. Enable "allow connections from network clients" in XQuartz 4. Ensure X11 forwarding is enabled in the remote's sshd_config and restart remote sshd 5. Disable the firewall on my Mac 6. ssh -X user@remote from the terminal within XQuartz 7. Confirm that the DISPLAY env var is set on the remote 8. xterm on the remote And nothing happens; xterm just freezes. There are no error messages, but also no windows appear. I've also tried: - Enabling/disabling "authenticate connections" in XQuartz - ssh -Y instead of ssh -X - Manually setting the remote DISPLAY variable to my_ip_address:0 - Waiting for a few minutes after running xterm just in case I was being impatient But all have the same effect: running xterm just hangs with no errors. What else can I try?

I have XQuartz running and I can open xterm if I have started XQuartz just for the first time after rebooting the machine. However, as time passes, I cannot create new xterms. So much so that if I quit current XQuartz and restart just XQuartz, I cannot get any xterm. It is annoying that I have to reboot the machine just to be able to use xterm. I am running OS X 10.11 El Capitan. I'll appreciate any insight. Here is the information from pkgutil. $ pkgutil --file-info /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app volume: / path: /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app pkgid: org.macosforge.xquartz.pkg pkg-version: 2.7.86 install-time: 1445273913 uid: 0 gid: 0 mode: 755

seems that XQuartz doesn't open the X after typing the password, I don't understand. If someone has already got this type of issue or sees its cause, I am lost with these many log informations ... **UPDATE 1 :** Here an example (where I have deleted the known_hosts on both side) : $ ssh -Y fab@pablo The authenticity of host 'pablo (192.168.1.62)' can't be established.

Last login: Wed Aug 2 01:17:43 2023 from 192.168.1.66 and doesn't display the rest. **UPDATE 2 :** I keep on my investigations about my issue. I found out that if I set on remote the environment variable to DISPLAY=localhost:10.0, then the X of server is working ( after a ssh -Y fab@pablo ) : I mean, I can launch for example nedit from remote machine and the window will appear on my macOS Ventura. I realized there is a code snippet into the ~/.zshrc of current user on remote machine : ############ FOR X11 Fowarding ############## if [ -e "$DISPLAY" ]; then DISPDIR=$(dirname $DISPLAY) NEWDISP="${DISPDIR}/:0" if [ ! -e "$NEWDISP" ]; then ln -s "$DISPLAY" "$NEWDISP" xauth -q generate "$NEWDISP" . fi export DISPLAY="$NEWDISP" fi but I don't remember what this part does exactly. Ideally, I would like that ssh connextion puts automatically the right value for variable DISPLAY : either directly on the machine (127.0.0.1:0.0) and from the macOS (127.0.0.1:10) when I do a ssh -X fab@pablo.

Alternatives for XQuartz?
XQuartz was always the goto for running X applications on a MacOS desktop. It's been a couple of years since the last version of Quartz and there is no activity on the github, so we may assume that the XQuartz project is dead. Are there any alternatives for running X application on a MacOS desktop?

XQuartz setting default shell for xterm under Ventura
In a clean rebuild of Ventura, my default shell is ```/bin/zsh```. For instance, that is what shows up in a Terminal.app terminal.

In a clean rebuild of Ventura, my default shell is
/bin/zsh
. For instance, that is what shows up in a Terminal.app terminal. If I start an xterm (launched from XQuartz 2.8.4), the shell shown in
$SHELL
is
/bin/sh
(& in other tests, see Comments). The xterm should be using my default shell, but can't seem to make that happen. I did notice that
read org.xquartz.X11 login_shell
shows
/bin/sh
. However, I changed that to zsh with a
write
, restarted the computer, and there was no change in behavior. Edit, more info: Setting the XQuartz app_to_run parameter to
$0
reports
-zsh
, but setting app_to_run to
produces an xterm running
. I'm so confused. Edit, even more info: I've pushed the problem back to the XQuartz starting context. The problem only occurs if XQuartz is started as a Login item, or if it is started with a launcher (I use Quicksilver) which itself was a Login item. So it appears that Mac Login items are not using the default shell. Can anyone else replicate?

XQuartz needs opening twice since macOS 13 Ventura

Since I updated to macOS 13 Ventura, whenever I try to switch to XQuartz I have to switch twice for it to show me the window. The first time I click the icon or do Cmd+Tab to the window, the window seems open - in fact, Cmd+Tab shows XQuartz as the first program, but the XQuartz window is still behind the rest of my windows. It never did this before updating. Is this a known problem and if it is, is there some way of fixing it? Update: I uninstalled and reinstalled XQuartz using homebrew but it still gives me the same problem. Update 2: I updated XQuartz to version 2.8.4, but I'm still having the same problem

If all else fails, can I compile this tiler for XQuartz?

preventing ssh command from opening xquartz on every session
Whenever I use ssh, after I type the password, xQuartz pop ups in the dock and terminal window looses focus. This happens even if there's no an X session. Why? How to prevent this behavior?

## Problem Device and OS version: MacBook Pro 2021 Apple Silicon 13.0.1 (22A400) The remote server can't forward open3d window to my Mac the codes are as follows:

if __name__ == "__main__":

    print("Testing mesh in open3d ...")
    mesh = o3d.io.read_triangle_mesh("a.obj")

    cords = o3d.geometry.TriangleMesh.create_coordinate_frame()
    o3d.visualization.draw_geometries([mesh])
note that a.obj is a testfile for helping test X11 Forwarding the raised error is:
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
[Open3D WARNING] GLFW Error: GLX: Forward compatibility requested but GLX_ARB_create_context_profile is unavailable
[Open3D WARNING] Failed to create window
[Open3D WARNING] [DrawGeometries] Failed creating OpenGL window.
## Background I have added the following two lines in my ssh configuration file on Mac
ForwardX11 yes
ForwardX11Trusted yes
and added the following command in my .bashrc file on Mac
export DISPLAY=:0
I'm using XQuartz 2.8.4 to receive remote GUI, and I can display the clock on my Mac by using xclock on the remote server terminal normally # What I Want I asked others, I know that **mobaxterm** can display open3d window normally, but it's a windows software, and Mac can only use **XQuartz** to display GUI of the remote server. so how can I display the open3d window on Mac by XQuartz?

I use WingIDE for Python development and it runs under X Windows. The X11 font rendering is driving me crazy. Are there any tricks for getting better fonts in an X Server on MacOS / Lion? Sample image here . It's not so bad that I'd say it's broken, but the hinting, subpixel rendering, etc all just doesn't look nearly as nice in the X server as it does in MacOS native. I've installed XQuartz 2.7.0 binaries by hand and didn't notice any improvement in font rendering. I also tried copying Menlo.ttc into my ~/.fonts directory to have a nicer font than the X windows fonts but it's clear the X font renderer just can't match MacOS native. This 2005 OpenOffice tips article recommends replacing libfreetype but it's a pretty awkward process I haven't tried given the age of the instructions.
