Message-ID: Has anybody given a solution to the problem below? I am running into the same problem and I would greatly appreciate any guidance. -- Nick, nicolae_santean@hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------ I've just setup Cygwin/Latex/XFree86 and am trying to setup xdvi. I followed the previous threads to correct the xdvi makefile such that make, and make install, appear to work correctly. However, if I startx and try to open a dvi document, xdvi spits out some errors, and then dies. The errors I am seeing are: fcntl F_SETOWN (xdvi): Invalid argument setsid: Not owner - mktexpk --mfmode cx --bdpi 300 --mag 'magstep(0)' --dpi 300 cmtt10 '>&3' xdvi: fcntl F_SETOWN: Invalid argument xdvi: ! Out of memory (reallocating 134195587 bytes). I checked on the ownership flags of /usr/bin/xdvi.exe and they look ok. What have I overlooked / screwed up!? Thanks for the help.

I've got two problems. First, after downloading xfree and updating my cygwin installation (Windows ME), I still can't get the x server to start. A window appears then disappears. The log complains about not being able to find the "fixed" font, though the font files are all there. I scanned the archives which suggest the problem may be the file system mountings, but unfortunately I'm not sure how to even tell how my file systems are mounted let alone fix it. Can someone point me at the info I need for this? Second, I have the application compiled, though the compilation errors I got suggested I may well not have the right code for dealing with pseudo ttys. This application has been compiled for just about every known variant of unix, all of which do something different to allocate a psuedo tty to an application and get the permissions and ownership of both ends set up correctly. I can't tell from any of the stuff I've read how cygwin handles this particular dark corner of the unix world. I've never found any reasonable documentation on this stuff and in the past have always learned from code fragments. Can anyone point me at either a sane, reasonably complete, description of how to do it or at a code example from a program that accomplishes it? Thanks.

Thanks for your response, My question was not realy clear , in fact I want to build emacs as a X11 application running under cygwin/xfree not as a MSWindows application. Why ? because I'd like to have my emacs managed by the X11 window manager and I can't use directly Linux on my computer. All thinks I found about compiling emacs with cygwin was about building a MSWindows application. Eric.

This information is (by experience but I never read anything about this) different each time the X server is starting and must be generate by xauth: xauth generate $DISPLAY . at server start. After that you must install the authorization information on your clients with xauth on the clients, most common way is to lauch the following remote command from your server for each clients: xauth extract - $DISPLAY | ssh login@client xauth merge - (this is an exemple with ssh that is also the most secure way to do it but you can use rsh or something similar). On the client the xauthorizations are stored in a file named .Xauthority (unless some special settings). See man xauth for details. Hope this help. Eric.

Starting XFree with help of the startxwin.bat olny results in a blanc window with no action. Neither a background nor a pointer or a terminal window appear. As I however start a XFree for a second time (leaving the first open), I sometimes (but very rarely) do recieve a correct window with background, pointer and a terminal window within it (although an error message appears telling me that the directory \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 is not empty). How can I make this somewhat correct second startup happen regularely and already with the first regular startup? What is wrong with my XFree-environment, does anybody have any experience with this?

Sure does this work;) The only content in this file is one text file and two empty dirtectories (lib/xdm & lib/xkb) and in the file is written this: The X server uses this directory to store the compiled version of the current keymap and/or any scratch keymaps used by clients. The X server or some other tool might destroy or replace the files in this directory, so it is not a safe place to store compiled keymaps for long periods of time. The default keymap for any server is usually stored in: X-default.xkm where is the display number of the server in question, which makes it possible for several servers *on the same host* to share the same directory.

I really don't care... you need to send all Cygwin/XFree86 related mails to the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing list. I will reply to such mailings if I believe I can contribute. Having said that... ZoneAlarm is the problem and it must be removed (if I remember correctly). If you don't believe me then follow these steps: 1) Admit that ZoneAlarm is the problem. 2) Remove ZoneAlarm software from your system. 3) In the event that step (1) fails, see step (1).

I suppose this is not the place to ask questions related to cygwin? Do you have an answer? Can I run KDE under cygwin? Maybe you have some more useless responses unrelated to the question? I just did a complete install of Redhat that turned out to be the "publishers release" with no KDevelop or KOffice, supposed features of KDE 2.0+. So I'm back to cygwin where I already have cross development set up in a command line environment and want to test IDE and debug options.

I have no problems running both ZoneAlarm and Cygwin/XFree86 on several Win2k systems. Maybe it's because I'm using ZoneAlarm Pro, or maybe it's that I answered "yes" when I started XWin and ZoneAlarm asked if I wanted to allow it to access the net and act as a server.

It's silly way (you have to logon with us keyboard and run it every times), but it works. I didn't find better solution. I don't recommend to put this command to .dtprofile, because it corrupts keyboard layout for console login (or you have to resolve in .dtprofile, if you are logging from console/network). Please keep responses to the mailing list.

The mailing list software is ezmlm. Feel free to offer suggestions on how to accomplish this. One thing that is possible is for responsible people to redirect messages to the correct place rather than just responding to them whereever they happen to occur.

Haven't I answered such a question last week? Anyway: The cygwin/xfree Xserver does not support the XF86Config file.

We use a clipper to account for any other Windows window overlaying our window, which would cause a portion of our blit destiation to be undrawable... which would mean that we wouldn't be allowed to use BltFast. Now... could we use BltFast in DirectDraw fullscreen modes? Probably... but some coding would have to be done that prevents the clipper from being allocated, and it would only give a (slight) performance boost if we wrote a Windowed and FullScreen version of the shadow function (else we'd be doing the if clipper test that Blt does but BltFast does not do). I don't think that using BltFast would be worth the effort. I'm going to guess that you wouldn't see any measurable improvement, whatsoever. But, you are welcome to try it...

Yes, but it is also stupefyingly obvious that with a lot of hard work certain functions can be sped up, like the speed up done with certain types of fork calls. Thus my statement that I had better shut up before someone suggests that I spend a lot of time trying to speed things up.

I replied to this on win32-x11 mailing list. A clip of a few error messages are not going to help diagnose problem. If you are attempting to compile xfree86 on Win32 using MSVC, it needs a lot patching... and as Alexander mentioned a high level of programming skill. The WIN32-X11 project DOE NOT attempt to port XFree86 to Win32. It is X11R6.5 based with server code and patches added to the X11R6.5.x sources tree. Although, I had been working on patching Xfree86 to compile with MSVC++, but due to busy schedule it is far from complete. I had not released any patches for xfree86 to compile MSVC yet.

I downloaded ttmkfdir, ran it, and successfully added my TrueType fonts to the available fonts in XWin using xset. However, I have tried numerous times, all unsuccessful, to start XWin with only the TrueType fonts via the -fp and -fn parameters to XWin. The first modification to make is obviously: XWin -fp /cygdrive/c/WINNT/Fonts I know that the above is correct, because if you drop the trailing 's' you'll get an error that the font path can't be added. Thus, the font path command is correct. However, you then get the "could not open default font 'fixed'" error. To fix the default font error I have tried to change the default font with the -fn paramter: XWin -fp /cygdrive/c/WINNT/Fonts -fn "Microsoft Sans Serif" or XWin -fp /cygdrive/c/WINNT/Fonts -fn Verdana I have tried tons of variations on the above, including lower case versions of the font names, quotes, no quotes, etc., but all of them result in the error of the form "could not open default font 'Microsoft Sans Serif'". I'm stumped. I can't understand why I can see the Microsoft Sans Serif (albeit, in all lower-case) font in the list of fonts provided by 'xfontsel', yet I can't seem to specify a new default font. Specifying the font path and a new default font on the command line is highly desireable for the people that are trying to develop the absolute minimum size Cygwin/XFree86 distribution as possible. If anyone has any hints, I'd appreciate it.

Sounds logical to me. There is no reason to limit the performance on Windows NT/2000/XP just because there would need to be a seperate routine for Windows 95/98/Me.

Harold, I'm glad you're finding it useful. It's certainly made my X desktop a little less bland. I'm using Comic Sans for the font specifications in system.twmrc! ;-) Anyway, back to the problem. First of all, you need to use X font naming for parameters like "-fn" so the line you want might be something like; XWin -fp -fn '-*-verdana-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' & Make sure that you include the quotes otherwise the shell (or cygwin1.dll) will expand the font name as a filename. You can use the interactive xfontsel program to choose which font you want and to copy the resultant name to the X clipboard using the "Select" button. (If you're using a non-X editor, run xwinclip first to copy the X clipboard to the Windows one as well.) I've not tried it but XWin is probably assuming that certain basic fonts are always available. You may therefore need to keep some of the supplied X fonts. Either check the source or do a little more trial and error to eliminate first the unneeded font directories and then the unneeded fonts from the remaining ones. Remember that if you use the "-fp" parameter you need to include all the font directories i.e. it doesn't add the directory you specify to the default font path that it already has. I'm using something very similar to the following in startxwin.sh; # Assemble the font path string addfp () { if [ -r "$1/fonts.dir" ]; then if [ -z "$fp" ]; then fp="$1" else fp="$fp,$1" fi fi } unset fp addfp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc addfp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo addfp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 addfp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID addfp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi addfp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi addfp /cygdrive/c/WINNT/Fonts addfp /cygdrive/c/WINNT/Fonts/Uninstalled # Start the X Server. XWin -fp $fp & The small shell function allows me to look in various places for X font directories without lots of empty ones needlessly slowing things down. It also makes editing the script less error prone. (The Uninstalled folder is created by a ZDNet Windows utility called FontViewer 2.0, by the way.) - -- Sam Edge -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 7.0.4 iQA/AwUBPJAJrTHHXnAhdFsfEQL2rwCg9MMjBCujLIIUu90khr+PXyJI7EkAoLGP RM0VC063pqe9K7za8r8LvUtu =wNvr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From strube@physik3.gwdg.de Thu Mar 14 02:17:00 2002 From: strube@physik3.gwdg.de (Hans Werner Strube) Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2002 02:17:00 -0000 Subject: ssh2 in xterm problem Message-ID: <200203140919.KAA24151@r2d2.physik3.gwdg.de> I have the Windows version of ssh2 (SSHWinClient-3.1.0-build235 from ssh.com) installed.

I set up the DISPLAY variable: export DISPLAY=ntbox:0 I start the X server with: XWin -ac -noreset& then a test client with: xclock& the xclock appears as expected. Then I try a second client: xeyes This fails to appear, eventually timing out with a "could not connect" error. This behaviour is consistent, whether the clients are started on the same machine as the server, or on some remote linux box, for any clients (xclock & xeyes are for example only). Note that, on the local NT box, if I use "DISPLAY=localhost:0" or "DISPLAY=:0" then there is no problem and the clients all start OK. It is as if the first tcp connection is accepted, but then the server stops listening for further tcp requests. If that is the case, then it would explain exactly the "black screen" syndrome experienced by the xdmcp users - the first client is probably an "xsetroot -solid black" which succeeds, but then all further requests are rejected. Can anyone else reproduce this problem? Is it an error in my local X configuration, or is there anything else I can change to fix it?

The reason that it runs in a Cygwin shell is that the Cygwin shell is actually an MS command prompt that is running bash... but the xterm is not an instance of an MS command prompt, so ssh2 no longer runs. I hope that makes sense.

Once I moved that over.. everything worked fine.. So I am assuming that their were some sort of time out thing going on.. My only suggestion would be to have this in a log somewhere..

I never go the kde splash screen.. icons.. or task bar. I left it this way for more than 20 mins.. so I don't think it was going to come... Now that I changed my network connection back to 100Meg..

I, too, am very interested in such a project, but would be unable to write the necessary code to interface the windows hardware accelerated OpenGL libs and Xfree86. I am stuck with Windows on one of my development machines at the moment due to some motherboard hardware issues and am thus resigned to search for a method to accelerate some OpenGL work I am planning on doing. I want to stick with XF86 though due to my desire to keep this project based in the *nix world (as my entire project will eventually migrate to either FreeBSD or Linux). Is there currently a hardware acceleration project for cygwin, and if so, what is the status? Thanks much!

In order to run Xfree, you need to first install cygwin. It mentions it in the documents. Cygwin is a great way to have a unix-like environment on your windows PC. It allows for porting of unix apps to windows as well, so it is really really nice. Once it is installed, follow the instructions for installing XFree. It will install much like it would on a unix machine. I suggest that you install it in the directories that the documentation states. As for ISPs, I have no clue. I use cable modem. If your connection was working on your DOS based X server, it should work with XFree. Dial up connections are always a pain for running remote X applications though.

Therefore it makes little sense that sound events would cause Cygwin/XFree86 to lock up. I suspect that something else is going on. Are you running Cygwin/XFree86 4.2.0? You can check by running /usr/X11R6/bin/xdpyinfo from an xterm within Cygwin/XFree86. I ask this because there were problems with versions prior to 4.2.0 where certain graphics requests caused the server to freeze... those problems have long since been fixed.

What are you asking? The response you got has to do with how someone is using cygwin and xfree as their X-Windows server to do remote admin. This is pretty much what you want to do, minus the admin part. It is probably a bit more complicated than you are interested in, but ... what is the question? Sorry. I am confused by this all. The xfree/cygwin website tells you how to do it all : http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/. If you want to run more, take a look at ported software section : http://xfree86.cygwin.com/ported-software.html. It includes extra apps and windows managers. Regardless, you do not need to recompile anything yourself. All the packages exist. You simply need to download them, and install them as per the instructions, and the instructions are made to be extremely easy.

This sure sounds like the problem you describe, though. I used sound as the example because the problem occurs with RealPlayer and web sites with sound. I also know that it happens when I set certain KDE configuration options such as fade menus. Do you think that 4.2.0 may still have vestages of the problem?

Unfortunately, most of my students do not have linux on their computer at home, only windows. So I tried to compile kseg on cygwin, and it worked fine (for those interested, see below). Now the problem is, that the installation-process is not so easy for people who are used to self-starting installation-cds only (which is the case for most pupils, I am sorry to say). So my questions are: - is it possible to install cygwin/xfree on CD-rom and run it from CD-rom without installing it? (I guess not, probably some directorys must be writable) - is it possible just to copy a whole cygwin-installation to CD-rom and copy it back to a local directory on a different computer? Of course, I have already tried so, and it did not work (startxwin.bat started, it ended with "could not connect to x-server..."), but maybe the only problem with this was, that I have installed cygwin on Drive E, while most people will copy it back to Drive C - if all this is not possible, is there anybody out there who has written a nice installation-skript that installs xfree after cygwin is installed (this should not be too difficult for the average pupil) and can be edited to install some software too? If not, I will probably try to write one myself, but of course I??m not interested in reinventing the wheel... Best regards, Andreas For those interested, steps nessecary to install kseg on cygwin/xfree: - Install cygwin as described in manual, don??t forget libjpg, libpng, gcc and make - Install xfree as described in manual - Install qt 2.? from kde on cygwin-project as described in readme - edit profile (or whatever you use to configure your environment) and extend path to qt-binary directory and (this is not described in readme) set QTDIR (for instance QTDIR = /usr/local/lib/qt2, export QTDIR) - extending LD_LIBRARY_PATH seems not to be necessary, as QT-dlls are in the QT-bin-directory - download and extract kseg, edit makefile and replace gcc with g++ - type make, It should compile - If you want, you can copy the binary "kseg" to a directory in your path From flognat@flognat.myip.org Sun Mar 17 23:54:00 2002 From: flognat@flognat.myip.org (Andrew Markebo) Date: Sun, 17 Mar 2002 23:54:00 -0000 Subject: XFree 4.2.0 on Windows 98 on Laptop SCENIC Mobile 360 In-Reply-To: <001301c1cdfb$77ea1740$0201a8c0@oemcomputer> References: <001301c1cdfb$77ea1740$0201a8c0@oemcomputer> Message-ID: | [...] | Fatal server error: | could not open default font 'fixed' | -- | | /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi ----> is not installed. ----> should No problem, nope, it seems to die due to problems finding fixed.

The only way to exit xterm neatly seems to be calling "exit" in its shell. This is very annoying. Is there a workaround? As the man page of bash says SIGTERM and SIGQUIT are ignored by an interactive bash, I tried setting trap "exit 0" TERM QUIT in .bashrc, but without success.

That should do it. Oh, explicitly list the source for all the packages as the same source tarball (if that's what exists for X).

I downloaded the Cygwin/Xfree86 release on Mar 5 it is also not the X server because it crashes also with reflection as the xserver or display on a unix box. now if anyone on this list would like to check his horoscope with cygwin i would be happy if he/she told me how he/she did it.

This is off-topic for the cygwin@cygwin.com list, redirected to cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com. Please next time consider read the documentation before posting. http://cygwin.com/lists.html cygwin: a high volume list for discussion of just about all things Cygwin-related. If you have questions about how to use Cygwin, or if you have cygwin-specific (see above) questions about the UNIX tools (bash, gcc, make, etc.) that come with Cygwin, this is the list for you. There are two exceptions to the "all things cygwin" nature of this list: questions about the Cygwin/XFree86 project (or any X-related questions for cygwin) should go to the cygwin-xfree mailing list (see below). Also, questions about other Cygwin releases not downloaded from http://cygwin.com/ or it's mirrors are also strongly discouraged. In theory, there should be better forums for discussing non-Red Hat sponsored releases. > > Please help, Thanks in advance > Eli -- Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards Hack Kampbj?rn From atkinson@syrres.com Tue Mar 19 07:54:00 2002 From: atkinson@syrres.com (Victor Atkinson) Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2002 07:54:00 -0000 Subject: Can multiple remote sessions be run simultaneously under v4.2.0? Message-ID: Greetings, I recently installed Cygwin and XFree86 v4.2.0 on my Windows 2000 laptop. My intent is to use it to remotely manage and use my small lab of 6 (and growing) PCs running RH Linux v7.2, from my office. I am familiar with VNC, to the extent that I have set it up and used it for about a year. However, I am always looking to simplify my installations as much as possible, and would like to maintain a more "native" approach, with as few daemons (e.g. vnc-server) as possible running on my Linux boxes. I have set up all of the Linux boxes to use xdm (well, gdm actually) and can start the XFree86 X Server on my Win2K laptop, and use -query and -indirect with XWin to connect to any desired Linux host. This work very well. My question is: Is it possible to create multiple simultaneous sessions, which are are resident in separate windows on my Win2K display, yet each connected to a different Linux host? As it stands now, I must use a single server window, with which I can only sequentially log into one Linux machine at a time. (I can get a second window up, by launching a second server with XWin, but it appears either inactive, or at best I can get clients to display, but not on the session that I want in any predictable fashion.) I have researched everything that I can find on X and the servers and client interactions at Red Hat, Linux Doc, your mailing list archives, Google, etc. I have also experimented with various methods of specifying the display and screen parameters to the X Server. However, at this point, I am frustrated and out of ideas. Reading over the To-Do List, it seems as though this capability may not exist in Cygwin-Xfree86 yet. However, the man files, and other documentation included with the Xfree86 package seem to indicate that this is all possible. Any guidance in this matter would be appreciated. (I am working very hard on out engineers here to consider Linux as a much better way of getting our job done that Windows, and am looking at many different ways to ease the transition.) Thank you.

I don't expect this to work. Both will try to listen on port 6000.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Victor, Yes, what you describe is supported... but there are some rough edges that you will encounter. The idea is that you start one X Server that runs multiple screens, each connected to a different host. The primary problem that you will encounter is that sometimes the Windows mouse cursor is not hidden or revealed correctly. An example command line would be: XWin -screen 0 1024 768 -query host1 -screen 1 1024 768 -query host2 -screen 2 640 480 -query host3 Unfortunately, you have to specify the width and height of each window (1024 width by 768 height, etc.) when using the -screen parameter. All screen-specific parameters that follow one -screen parameter will apply to that screen only, until another -screen paramter is encountered. Thus the first -query parameter applies to screen 0, the second -query applies to screen 1, etc. The window will be made as large as will fit on the screen if you specify a screen size that is as large or larger than the current graphics mode (i.e. if you are running at 1024x768 then a 1024 768 or larger screen parameter will create a window slightly smaller than 1024 768 to account for the Start menu; increasing the parameter to 1280 1024 will not create a larger window).

If we can use setup.exe for installation, we won't have to be bothered with the "Where's bzip2?" questions here anymore. http://cygwin.com/setup.html should help with setting things up for a cygwin package. FWIW, it's been a long term goal to get setup.exe into a state where it can install Cygwin/XFree86. cgf From roger_maillist@alltel.net Tue Mar 19 13:49:00 2002 From: roger_maillist@alltel.net (Roger) Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2002 13:49:00 -0000 Subject: Dose any one know if gnome works on cygwin?

I assume that these are just for people to play with but that will require a little bit of customization of local setup.ini's if you want to do anything useful. If they are intended for the release then please follow the instructions at http://cygwin.com/setup.html under "Submitting a package". It seems like there were originally some questions that are best dealt with in the cygwin-apps mailing list (cc'ed), where discussion about that kind of stuff is commonplace. I am excited about getting this into the cygwin distribution. I wonder how many people will discover it when it becomes part of the main distro. My inclination is to just add the xfree directory in the ftp area to the list of directories that setup scans for files to install. Then you can create your hierarchy under that. Or, were you planning on keeping the separate .tgz files around too? cgf From robert.collins@itdomain.com.au Tue Mar 19 21:16:00 2002 From: robert.collins@itdomain.com.au (Robert Collins) Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2002 21:16:00 -0000 Subject: And we have a xfree cygwin package..

Harold... If I can be so bold, can I suggest that you add a setup.ini to the collection of files - just include the setup.hint contents (see http://www.cygwin.com/setup.html for the setup.ini format. This will let folk grab the X install via setup.exe with NO customisation of local files - all they have to do is run setup.exe, click on "Add" in the mirror screen and put http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xbase in as the URL. Then setup.exe will merge the main setup.exe and the xbase one into one seamless view. If you are going to have http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xbase and http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xclient and http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/... (while testing) then put the setup.ini at http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo and include the path in the install: rule.

Versioning the tarballs takes only a couple of seconds - and can be scripted.

We're also moving rapidly away from gzipped tar files. My question was really to Suhaib or Harold.

I am one of those unfortunates that is trying to manage Rational Rose on the same machine as cygwin-XFree. So far I have been able to get around all problems (involving Cygwin alone) by editing a few scripts to change environment variables to ones Cygwin likes and I am hoping this problem can be dealt with in the same way for XFree. I launch XFree with the startxwin.bat with the following alterations at the top of the script: SET TERMCAP=\cygwin\etc\termcap SET TERMINFO=\cygwin\lib\terminfo set SHELL=\cygwin\bin\bash.exe set TERM=cygwin When I click on the new desktop and select XTERM, it comes back with an error message: Could not exec /cygwin/bin/bash.exe: no such file or directory. I tried changing the batch file's SHELL variable to this: set SHELL=\bin\bash.exe and then restarted and tried launching XTERM again, only to get a similar message: Could not exec /bin/bash.exe: no such file or directory. I can confirm that the file exists however: $ [ -f /bin/bash.exe ] && echo File exists $ File exists What is going on here? Is it the case that XFree wants to launch a different bash? (I searhced the cygwin directory heirarchy and found only one bash.exe though.) Is there perhaps some other variable that I have overlooked that needs changing too? Just in case, I have included the output below from a set command.

Message-ID: Howdy all! I have been using Cygwin for a few weeks now and I must say I love it! I have only just started using XFree and I can say right away that I am at least excited about seeing xman, but unsure what else I can get from the system (I installed it for Xemacs, which I haven't got working yet - but that's another story). What is the default copy and paste keys for a bash xterm under xfree? The first thing I would like to do is have the same mouse settings in an XFree term that I have in Cygwin - namely being able to right click on selected text to copy and right click when no text is selected to paste. Is there a particular config file I should create/edit to allow this? Bash is my xterm of choice.

Everything worked great until I got to the part about telnet. It was missing from my installation. I spent about two hours looking over the Cygwin site trying to figure out how to get and install telnet. I noticed in this forum that other folks had the same problem but no working solution was offered. I finally figured it out. Here's how: - re-run the SETUP.EXE program that you used to install Cygwin, - select "Install from Internet" option, - select same install directory as before, - choose a download site as before, - when you get a list of packages, click the '+' next to the "Net" category, - select the "inetutils" package and the "openssh" package, - continue downloading. Your installation will be updated with those new packages. Perhaps the Cygwin/XFree86 User Guide could be modified to make sure telnet and ssh get included in the installation the first time. It currently tells people to leave the default settings alone but the default does not include telnet.

I don't see any problem here. I can't update the User's Guide to say "install inetutils and ssh" because Cygwin is always changes its mind about which packages to include in the default installation (they dropped bzip2 awhile back) and I don't have the time to follow their changes and continue to make updates accordingly. Also, the user interface to the Cygwin installer keeps changing, so I don't want to have to rewrite the instructions every time that happens. Note that Cygwin/XFree86 works just fine without inetutils and ssh, so plenty of users out there will not need inetutils and ssh. I will perhaps add a note that extra Cygwin packages may be selected and installed by the user. That should at least get people to look at the list of packages that they might want.

Neither is needed for X applications. Many people use XWindows on a PC to communicate to remote Unix computers. This is very common for telecommuters. The Installation Guide tells you how to do this but the instructions do not work. http://cygwin.com/xfree/docs/ug/using-remote-apps.html They fails because these instructions do not tell you to download telnet: http://cygwin.com/xfree/docs/ug/setup-cygwin-downloading.html It says "All packages, downloaded size of 56.1 MiB as of 2001-04-19, are selected for download by default; I do not recommend changing the list of packages to download unless you really know what you are doing." But in my case, only some of the packages were selected by default. Perhaps SETUP.EXE has changed. So I had to go back and get telnet and ssh. Perhaps the instructions could say that IF you plan to use telnet or ssh you have to select them and then tell how. It would haved me several hours time. Thanks!

That should at least get people to look at the list > of packages that they might want. Once I realized that telnet was missing, I knew I had to go get it. But I scoured the Cygwin FAQs and other resoures looking for info on how to download packages and couldn't find it. I found a list of packages but no links telling where to get them. There are detailed instruction on how to develop and contribute new packages, but not on how to download existing packages. Imagine that you do not know how and try to find that info on the Gygwin site. I finally figured out that SETUP.EXE not only installs Cygwin, but it is also used when adding new packages!!!!!!! This is only obvious in hindsight. It is an unusual procedure and trying it really did not occur to me until I saw a vague mention in a Cygwin forum. Maybe on the Gygwin site, here: http://cygwin.com/packages/ there could be a short message: "You can download and install these packages by running the SETUP.EXE program that you used to install Cygwin and selecting the desired package." I'm really just trying to be helpful, here. This simple step of re-running SETUP.EXE was not obvious to me and I am an experienced system programmer. THANKS!

I think the change you're referring to was that we added, at the request of many users, a minimal install. It's based on the debian "base" category, which does not include bzip2. The default installation is a really basic one and it's looking like we need to change that. Anyway, I'll try to keep in this in mind if we change something in the future that impacts Cygwin/XFree86.

We thought the current setup with categories would be an improvement and apparently it wasn't.

It's not like I can fire anyone for not improving setup for you. I'm just damn grateful that Robert and others are spending time working on it at all. Anyway, the new, just released, version of setup has some improvements for selecting whole categories. That should make things much easier. We're discussing other alternatives all of the time but the basic problem is that we have a lot of people who just ask aggrieved questions like the above or who repeat the same observations that have been made countless times before, and very few people who are actually willing to help make things better. If you want to contribute (and apparently you do), then setup.exe discussions are happening in the cygwin-apps mailing lists. If you have further questions, you should (after reviewing the mail archives there) send them there. cgf > I think the change you're referring to was that we added, at the request > of many users, a minimal install.

This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and ??top secret??. You have been recommended by a reliable source that assured me in confidence of your ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction involving a large sum of money. We are top officials of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation CONTRACT AWARD COMMITTEE who are interested in investing in your company and or your country with funds which are presently pending in the Central Bank Of Nigeria. For the commencement of this business, we solicit your assistance to enable us transfer into your account the said funds. The source of this fund is as follows: In the month of June 2000,my committee awarded a contract for the TURN ARROUND MAINTAINANCE of KADUNA AND WARRI REFINERY and supply of equipments and installation to foreign company to the tune of {US$450.000.000.00} FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS on contract no NNPC/T-ARD- MT/PED/KDREF-144/2000.But before the award of the contract we agreed on a (10%} ten percent commission with the company which was a deliberate over-invoicing. The company has been paid the 1st&2nd installments of US$285M andUS$120M remaining the 3rd installment of US$45M representing the 10% commission which we now want to transfer into your Account.. We have agreed to share the money thus: 1. 30% for the Account Owner (You) 2. 60% for us (The Officials) 3. 10% to be used in settling taxation and all local and foreign expenses. It is this 60% that we wish to invest in your care. Please, note that this transaction is 100% safe and we hope to conclude the transfer latest seven (7) banking days from the date of the receipt of the following information by Fax: the name and address of the beneficiary {company}, your Telephone and Fax No. for easy communication. Banker??s name and address, Account number, Bank??s Phone, Fax and Telex/Swift Code No. The above information will enable us write letters of claim and job description respectively. This way we will use your company??s name to apply for payment as one of the SUB-CONTRACTORS. We are looking forward to doing this business with you and solicit your confidentiality in this transaction. Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter using my email address. I will bring you into complete picture of this pending project when I hear from you. Yours faithfully, MR. Joe Makaego. __________________________________________________________________________ Faxes, Voicemails, Emails. Cyberbox keeps you connected anytime, anywhere!

The documentation for Cygwin/XFree said "All packages, downloaded size of 56.1 MiB as of 2001-04-19, are selected for download by default; I do not recommend changing the list of packages to download unless you really know what you are doing:". This is on page: http://cygwin.com/xfree/docs/ug/setup-cygwin-downloading.html I just followed the docs and it didn't work because telnet was missing. All I am suggesting is that the documents be updated so that if people follow them then they will be successful. I also suggested adding a line to the Cygwin package list that says "You can use SETUP.EXE from the installer to add packages from this list.". It was not obvious to me that the same installer is used for installation and also for adding packages after installation. I also publish free software so I appreciate the eforts that have gone into Cygwin and XFree86. But when people tell me that they have problems with my docs, then I try to correct them (the docs, not the people). I don't understand why there has been so much resistance from this group to making a couple lines of change to the docs. They are simply out of date and could easily be corrected. Sometimes things seem obvious to the developer but only because the developer already knows them. It is possible that reasonably intelligent people cannot read the developers mind and may need to read the docs instead.

I'm currently unable to test this as I'm not at work but I'm wondering whether it's possible to use cygwin-xfree under a terminal server session (ie: and RDP or and ICA connection). I'm hoping that when you fire up xwin it shows the xserver window in the terminal server session that fired it up. There is a windows environment variable for the 'winstation name' which is also the windows screen number. What I'm hoping to do is create a batch file that will fire up the Xserver using a screen number the same as the users winstation ID. This way everyone connected could run xwin and have it displaying in their own screen. Anyone know or tired this? Thanks. http://www.sold.com.au - SOLD.com.au Auctions - 1,000s of Bargains!

At work on Cygwin/XFree the grid/rectangle shows up correctly in Afterstep, as it does on a native Linux XFree86 server. Apart from that, XFree and Afterstep seem to be running fine on Cygwin. I can't get aterm to work, (it compiles and run and can get as far as displaying the shell prompt, but then it locks up) so I'm using the cygwin provided rxvt instead and it runs fine under X.

I don't have anything to do with either the code or the documentation. So, any resistance you detected from me towards making documentation changes was 100% on target.

In debian, there is a package that will do this - I think it that when a binary is not found it queries dpkg to see if a package that can provide it exists. Anyway, I think that an _automated_ approach to this could be quite useful, but not a manual one. (I realise that you didn't imply either, I'm simply getting there first :}).

This sometimes causes me to loose work. I know that a way of avoiding this is to use the fullscreen flag with XWin.exe. However, I prefer to run in a window, so my question is whether there is a way to disable the windows exit button so that the only way to exit is with Alt-F4? (Using the nowinkill flag doesn't help here.) Thanks, Lars. -- Lars Jensen, TMCC/Vista B200, 7000 Dandini Blvd, Reno NV 89512-3999.

Message-ID: Hi, is there any fast method for checking which package contains dll which is missing from the cygwin-installation? I have itself installed cygwin and postgreSQL couple of times to different computers without big problems. But now I have noticed that for 3 other people who has tryed to do the same, has had all kind of problems because of some missing libraries and dll's. For now it takes from me a long time to try to quess which package certain dll which is still missing. Just for example some minutes ago, one of my friend installed cygwin, and received message from missing cygprce.dll. He got this error when he started to initializing postgre-database. Can somebody tell to me which package contains this dll? (Or how to search them fastly would be even better...)

Message-ID: Greetings, Thanks to all for the quick replies. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get a workable configuration together yet. I have tried both combinations of screen 0 & 1 designations with XWin: Separate invocations: start /B XWin -screen 0 -query start /B XWin -screen 1 -query Single invocation: start /B XWin -screen 0 -query -screen 1 -query And I have also tried setting the display to alternate values: start /B XWin -display :0 -query start /B XWin -display :1 -query as well as all combinations of display & screen (0.0, 1.0, 1.1, etc) for the two sessions, both via the command line and the DISPLAY environment variable. The results are almost always identical, first XWin starts and connects to host1. However, when the second server starts, the first screen appears to be reset to and empty X server session (just blank background) while the second server connects to host2. When I am finished with host2 and quit the second session (close the window), then the first session gives me a login prompt at host1 again. It appears as though there is some hardwired common display behavior that is common among all server instances, even if they are started from separate XWin processes. I'll keep plugging away at it. I did setup VNC on the remote hosts again, to do what I needed to do simultaneously on host1 and host2. It does seem that VNC is much more of a bandwidth and processor load than XFree86, which doesn't really surprise me. (If my remote host screen saver kicks in within a VNC client window, it nearly brings my laptop to its knees, but in the same circumstance XFree86 is smooth.)

It doesn't mean anything. What you want is: start /B XWin-works :0 -query host1 start /B XWin-works :1 -query host2 I've tested this and gotten two distinct sessions to one machine (say, host1) at the same time. I don't currently have two XDM hosts, but I'm sure it will work fine with two hosts. Let me know how this works.

Message-ID: Alan Hourihane and I have been working a little bit on the NativeGDI "-engine 16" X Server in Cygwin/XFree86. The current CVS builds are completely runable: user input works, drawing graphics works mostly (xterm, twm, with just a few screwups), and most notable the server no longer crashes on startup. However, lots of things don't work: we don't handle redrawing covered-then-exposed regions of our Window, so you have to keep the Cygwin/XFree86 window in focus unless you want the window to clear, opaque stipple-fills don't work yet so the title bar on windows under twm don't have the hatched pattern, and the performance is not something to brag about. That said, we are progressing well on our plan, which goes a little something like the following: 1) Implement winFillSpans, winGetSpans, and winSetSpans. These just draw lines and all graphics functions can be reduced to spans operations. 2) Implement other graphics functions directly. We haven't even begun to start this yet. We have to make a few corrections to the spans routines first. Performance sucks right now because *every* graphics operation must be reduced to a series of line operations. However, we have to have a perfect set of spans routines because there are some X graphics functions that cannot be simply translated into GDI graphics functions. Thus, some X graphics functions will always rely on spans functions. There is one problem that I had not anticipated, but that Alan Hourihane pointed out. It turns out that GDI DIB's (Device Independent Bitmap) use a different byte-order for 1 bit and 4 bit DIBs than they do for 8 bit, 16 bit, 24 bit, and 32 bit DIBs. Alan flipped the BITMAP_BIT_ORDER flag to MSBFirst from the default LSBFirst in xc/programs/Xserver/include/servermd.h. The problem here is that most programs just look at IMAGE_BYTE_ORDER or BITMAP_BYTE_ORDER and assume that they are equal. For now we have them set to different values, which means that some programs will assume bitmaps and pixmaps are LSBFirst while others will assume that they are MSBFirst. The ultimate solution here is to do byte-map order translation for 1 bit and 4 bit DIBs when we do certain operations with them. However, we have yet to identify exactly when to do the translations. Alan and I have been pretty busy with other things lately, so this task has gone unattended for several weeks. Well, I guess that's all for now. I just figured that some people might be interested in what is going on... and *sigh* possibly helping out. If you have some spare time, throw an eye at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xoncygwin We've been using that site as a temporary CVS tree for the NativeGDI development. We'll be merging things back into XFree86 when we have something more complete. We have to fix the BITMAP_BIT_ORDER flag before we can merge into XFree86, as none of the other engines draw correctly when BITMAP_BIT_ORDER is set to MSBFirst.

This is what you suggested to do: "Sounds like you need to mount your drives in binary mode, and retry the installation as the font files don't quite work right in text mode." I tried typing mount -b -f as has been suggested to me but bash complains that there aren't enough arguments in the command. Since i am relatively new to Unix, i was hoping that you could shed some light on what drives to mount in binary mode, and how to execute the command.. i have read the help in cygwin and on the net, but it doesn't seem applicable (btw, my XWin.log is nearly exactly the same as the one that was posted on the net).

I kinda doubt it. Why don't you remove the "-fullscreen -depth 8" parameters, run Windows in 8 bit per pixel mode, and add the parameter "-screen 0 320 240". That will give you a much smaller window and it might allow Magic to work (just do it as a test). Other than that you can look on the Magic website about the OpenGL version (or command line parameter... I don't remember if it was the same executable or not).

You'd be much better off asking this question in the mailing list that deals with Cygwin/Xfree86 questions.
