Attached a: dir /s > cygwindir.txt and the wise Installer script. Even if you do not have Wise installer Just have a look inside. It's a text file with a pretty clear syntax of what it does. Look here: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-08/msg00109.html It is a thread about what I do in the post Install at: "bin/prepareWindowsFonts.sh" (run at end of wise installation) You'd have to debug that part because I did mine manually. May be it is better to do what, I think it was Alexandre,suggested in above thread. You can see that it can be cleaned farther, I needed the bin/* utils, and didn't want to bother with what dlls are needed or not. So I included them all. If you can receive a 12M exe file I can send you the result, so you can try for yourself. Or If you have an FTP I can put it on? Just send me the Info. (After Install files extract to 27M) Feel free to ask any questions On the wise Installer or any thing else Free Life Boaz A simple dir /s and an Install script was to much. and a zip of them is considered an executable file, so I give up.

Message-ID: <9616BFC95C867443854DA22AA36F746BAAFED2@jobcorps.org> I have setup Cygwin/X on Windows Terminal Services and have been running it using the approach that each new user gets there own port.? Everything runs dandy except under some circumstance it appears the socket/file in the /tmp/.X11-unix/ directory is not cleaned up when X is closed.? In those cases, on startup for a non-admin rights user, they receive a fatal error.? To fix all I do is go into the directory and delete the offending file (I confirm that there is no X server on that port first).? Since the work-around "works", I attempted to add that to the script the user's kick off to delete the hanging file if it's there.? Unfortunately since this only happens if the previous user of that port was different, a permission error occurs. This is what the scenario looks like in the file system: Suarez.David@jcdcnt_sm_pay2 /tmp/.X11-unix $ ls -la total 4 drwxrwxrwt+?? 2 David.Te Domain U??????? 0 Oct 29 11:04 . drwxrwxrwx+?? 3 Administ Users??????? 4096 Oct 29 11:53 .. srwxrwxrwx??? 1 ranen???

Now if I check the ports, only X0 is still in use.? So the other X servers on 1 and 3 have since been closed but the files are still sticking around.? If I get assigned to any of these other ports I don't run into a problem because I am an admin user and it appears X checks to see if it's valid on startup and appropriately updates it.? However for non-admin users, they get the fatal error. I added to the script to delete the file if the X server is not in use but I get the permissioning error when they run. Any idea what I can do to work around this behaviour?

The log shows the X server as started and waiting for connections. Now you need to open an X application (e.g., xterm) -- it won't be opened automatically when you start the X server directly the way you did (by running XWin.exe). You have a few choices: - Install the X-startup-scripts, and use either "startxwin.sh" or "startx" to start the X server (both will, IIRC, open at least an xterm for you). - Install the X-start-menu-icons package and use the Start menu to open whatever applications you need. - Use the old-fashioned way and open a regular Cygwin console (via the Cygwin icon on your desktop), and from the prompt run DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 xterm & - Do the above, but run a window manager instead (provided you're in non-multiwindow mode, which in itself is a window manager). Most X window managers (e.g., twm, fvwm, WindowMaker, openbox) will have a desktop menu that allows to start X applications. Note that only twm comes with X by default, others have to be installed separately. - Starting the X server should have created an icon in your system tray. ISTR there was some work on adding a menu to that icon that would let you start applications and control the X server. Don't know if that was ever completed, though, or if it's been included in the default XWin package... There are other ways, but they are more arcane... :-) Igor -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_ pechtcha@cs.nyu.edu ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ igor@watson.ibm.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski, Ph.D. '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.

Message-ID: <9616BFC95C867443854DA22AA36F746BAAFF0F@jobcorps.org> Thanks Alexander. I've done the below and it is working great now. I ran into the following questions/issues while attempting the below: 1. When using "cygpath -m ..." the home directories we use were returning split over multiple lines sometimes (C:/ Documents and Settings/...). Not for everyone. Are there any known issues with this? The mount command worked fine and you could see the mount installed using the "mount" command (also split over multiple lines) however trying to "cd /tmp" resulted in an error. To avoid the multi-lines, I created a windows environment variable with the location and used that instead when setting the mount. Now that it's on one-line everything works great. 2. Seems like mapping a /tmp as a user-mount is a work-around. Any idea why the files don't get cleaned up in general? Are there any known issues with this approach? Is there a resource that would be able to fix the implementation to ensure the files are deleted? The one concern I have is I don't know if there are any applications out there that would rely on a shared /tmp directory. Since in regular unix /tmp is shared, I can see how a program may rely on that causing a problem in our case here now that /tmp is mapped individually by user. For now, this isn't a problem since we're using TS to run apps against the unix boxes but I wonder if this limits our ability to expand cygwin usage in the future as a stand-alone environment not linked to the unix boxes.

In those cases, on startup for a non-admin rights user, they receive a fatal error.? To fix all I do is go into the directory and delete the offending file (I confirm that there is no X server on that port first).? Since the work-around "works", I attempted to add that to the script the user's kick off to delete the hanging file if it's there.? Unfortunately since this only happens if the previous user of that port was different, a permission error occurs. this a quite often asked question. You could solve this with per-user mounted /tmp directory. eg. mkdir $HOME/tmp mount -buf $(cygpath -m $HOME/tmp) /tmp This will create a temp directory in the users home directory and map /tmp to that directory. bye ago NP: Megadump - Superhuman -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 From Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de Thu Nov 4 19:24:00 2004 From: Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de (Alexander Gottwald) Date: Thu, 04 Nov 2004 19:24:00 -0000 Subject: Files in /tmp/.X11-unix not getting cleaned up..

I'm using CygWin XFree86 with a dual monitor setup and a single monitor setup. In my experience there are, not surprisingly, more problems with the dual monitor setup. This made me think a bit about how multi-monitor CygWin XFree86 could get more testing. Is there any interest amongst CygWin XFree86 testers/developers in a virtual device driver that will do the following? - allow adding of any number of virtual video cards. E.g. test CygWin XFree86 with 10 video cards? No problem! :-) - the video cards are "visible" indirectly by using e.g. the Accessibility->Magnifier - resolution is currently fixed at ~4000x2000x32bit, but it could be made configurable - the virtual device driver works by allocating a RAM buffer where all rendering takes place. Windows does all the rendering and it seems to be feature complete. OpenGL works, though I wouldn't hold my breath for DirectX apps. The source code is currently collecting dust, and I'm sure I could convince the owner to contribute it to the open source community if there is enough interest.

I got 99% done. This issue has been discussed last week only as started by these 2 separate threads of messages: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-11/msg00214.html http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-11/msg00253.html However, the issue has not been resolved. Then, I uninstalled everything and re-installed cygwin any *without* selecting anything from the X11 category. All went well! Then, I just thought of installing the X apps manually. The front page of the cygwin/xfree website says that: "Cygwin/X is installed via Cygwin's setup.exe and the installation process is documented in the Cygwin/X User's Guide. Whether or not you already have Cygwin installed, you can add Cygwin/X to your installation by downloading the latest setup.exe, running setup, and selecting the 'xorg-x11-base' package from the 'X11' category." However, selecting only the xorg-x11-base package would install only: /usr/X11R6/share/doc/Cygwin/xorg-x11-base-6.8.1.0.README /etc/profile.d/00xorg-x11-base.csh /etc/profile.d/00xorg-x11-base.sh Thus, it would probably be better to update the main page such that it wouldn't be misleading. (Other users might think only xorg-X11-base should be installed since that is what the website says.) The README file contains the needed package dependencies so once could follow from that. However, not everyone reads the README. You may want to add something like this after the paragraph quoted above: "Once you have installed the 'xorg-x11-base' package, open your /usr/X11R6/share/doc/Cygwin/xorg-x11-base-.README file and install (via setup) the package dependencies listed there." In any case, any hints on why installing xorg fails? Please include me on the cc since I do not subscribe to the cygwin/xfree list. Thanks! Thanks!

If selecting of dependencies is not working then it's a problem with the cygwin installer and should be reported to the cygwin mailing list. > In any case, any hints on why installing xorg fails? I've not seen this before. All packages I've uploaded are tested including a simple install test on a clean host. Everything was fine. The messages from the cygwin mailinglist indicate a problem with setup.exe and not with the packages. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 From bobbymcn@bellsouth.net Mon Nov 8 10:38:00 2004 From: bobbymcn@bellsouth.net (Bobby McNulty) Date: Mon, 08 Nov 2004 10:38:00 -0000 Subject: xorg installation fails, 99% complete only In-Reply-To: <418F39AD.4000509@sgies.com> References: <418F39AD.4000509@sgies.com> Message-ID: <418F4C80.8070703@bellsouth.net> Carlo Florendo wrote: > Hello Cygwin/XFree gurus, > > I've installed cygwin on a WinXP SP2 machine and setup looped forever > up to the point when it was post-installing the xorg applications.

I'm sorry but it seems that I wasn't cc'd for all messages (I mentioned I'm not part of the Cygwin/XFree ML). So, I just replied to my original message. (Sorry if this breaks the thread.) So, I've just checked the ML website and read up to the one of Bobby Mc Nulty's message on 09 Nov 2004: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-11/msg00031.html In any case, I am not able to replicate the problem now since I'm on Win2K SP4. The problem only appears to be on WinXP SP2. I'm sorry I'm not providing anything useful (e.g. No ps -ef nor cygcheck output) since I won't be able to get hold of the WinXP SP2 machine now. I'll probably be able to do it, but off-line. The post last 04 Nov 2004, http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-11/msg00167.html, says that xorg stalled via setup on a WinXP SP2. I don't know if there's a correlation. In any case, the issue with setup is that it doesn't install the dependencies of xorg-base. I installed cygwin without the X and afterwards, installed xorg-base (since that is what the Cygwin/XFree site says). However, only the script files get installed. (I'll post a message to the cygwin-list). I got everything working after installing (via setup) the dependencies listed on the xorg README file. Thanks!

However, installation stalls at 99% when installing some xorg packages. Message says: "Cannot open log file C:\cygwin/var/log/setup.log for writing" Yes, the '\' and '/' are as is :) This problem is similar to the one from: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-11/msg00253.html (6 Nov 2004) So, I reinstalled cygwin without the X, and went to the Cygwin/Xfree website to see how to install X. The site says that we just need to install xorg-base and we will have X working. However, installing xorg-base installs a couple of script files and a README. I read the README and installed (via setup, ofcourse :) )the packages listed as dependencies. *All worked well now.* :) However, isn't setup suppose to do this? I posted this problem on the cygwin-xfree mailing list and someone hinted that since setup doesn't install dependencies, this could be a setup problem (http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-11/msg00022.html) Is this an X or a setup problem? (I'm at a loss so I posted to cygwin and cygwin-xfree). Please advise on where to post. Thanks!

Try not to get mad at me anyway. Warning: if you are not open-minded kind of person, you're advised to skip everyting below. This issue was first reported by Bobby McNulty on 03/11. Then on 04/11 Ling F. Zhang reported the same problem and said he was the third one to report the problem although I still can't find that second one. Ling asked the same question again on 06/11 providing some more information. I posted the same question on 06/11 confirming the issue and providing quite detailed information (I think). All these were in cygwin section. Now you can count how many people had been having this problem. Nobody was interested in the issue until Bobby spoke up yesterday. I think what he said was perfectly all right and reasonable. I myself have also been waiting for this setup issue to be resolved before I install Cygwin on this new computer. I last installed Cygwin in Dec 2003 and I've just got a new computer and installed a fresh clean Windows XP and want to install the latest Cygwin in full. I don't want to skip the X part and install it manually afterwards as I have no idea if that would do exactly the same thing. The setup.exe should do the installation job properly. As for what our two develpers said, I do respect them for what they do for us but I wouldn't tell my users to shut up like that. Being a volunteer doing things for people for free doesn't give you the right to do that. You need the users and the users need you. It is simple, you either do it your best or you don't do it at all. There are people who can do better or have done better as Bobby implied. You should listen to what users have to say. Not just praise you also have to listen to criticism. All can be constructive depends on how you look at it and how open-minded you are. You shouldn't tell your users to come do what you're doing if they think they can do better. That reminds me of politicians in some third-world countries. You should have done better in this case. You should ask for more information from users instead of assuming everyone knows what information they should provide or telling them to shut up when they don't do what you think they should do. They are not as genius as you otherwise they wouldn't be here asking for help. What Bobby and Carlo reported yesterday and today are the same thing I already reported 3 days ago. In fact I even gave more information. Like, the error points were different between archives from different mirror sites. That post of mine was cited in yesterday posts did anyone take a look at it before asking Bobby for more information? He also mentioned 4 people had been complaining did anyone check those posts by those 4 people? Also I had no idea you could do "ps -ef" while installing Cygwin. Now, I think that's more than enough to get myself flamed for today. Feel free to do so I'm open to all sorts of criticism. Oh, there is more information I can give. My OS is Windows XP SP1. So it's not only XP SP2 that is having this problem. Also I have my Symantec Antivirus Corp Ed 8.1.1 turned off in Windows' Services before starting the installation. Christopher when you said "It works fine for me. Just tried it." what did you do? Can you give more details like I gave in my first post? Like, which mirror site did you downloaded the archive from, your OS, etc.? Like I said different mirror sites gave different error points here. Maybe your mirror site has the most perfect copy of the archive which gives no errors at all. I really wanna try that. Is there anyway to turn on setup.exe's debugging so that we all can test to see what it's looping for at 97% or 99%? Best Regards.

Why didn't you jump to Alexander's defense if you respect him so much? Or does being a user of free software does give someone the right to insult a developer? That seems pretty one-sided to me. >You need the users and the users need you. You somehow think that there is a flow of obligation going from me to you? You're very wrong. You are benefitting from my efforts and Alexander's efforts. I am not benefitting from your efforts in any way. That is not true of some users here who are capable of sending bug reports or providing constructive feedback without pontificating. Since I care about cygwin, I do appreciate when people can provide feedback without whining and without insulting the people who have donated their time to help them. You have no rights here. Sorry. >It is simple, you either do it your best or you don't do it at all. Sorry, but that is simple-minded pap. How can you judge what someone's "best" is? So, if I can't give cygwin 100% of my effort, I should just abandon it? Ridiculous. >There are people who can do better or have done better as Bobby >implied. You should listen to what users have to say. Not just praise >you also have to listen to criticism. Whining about how no one is helping you and suggesting that the old regime did it better is not criticism. It is complaining. The difference should be pretty obvious. >All can be constructive depends on how you look at it and how >open-minded you are. You shouldn't tell your users to come do what >you're doing if they think they can do better. And, you shouldn't invent scenarios to make your point. No one said anything about telling users to "do what (I'm) doing". >That reminds me of politicians in some third-world countries. You >should have done better in this case. Funny, but your email reminds me a lot of a campaign speech, short on specifics, long on emotion. >They are not as genius as you otherwise they wouldn't be here asking >for help. I think you may have missed the fact that I was responding mainly to Bobby's insult. My message was specifically targetted to someone with whom I've interacted for years. I have no idea who you are or why you take insult at a message which was not directed to you. >In fact I even gave more information. Like, the error points were >different between archives from different mirror sites. Again, you seem to be missing the fact that I was responding to Bobby, not you. However, since you raise the point, let me say that this probably isn't very useful data either. Neither setup.exe nor X are my responsibility but I can't imagine how the fact that something dies differently given different mirror sites would be useful data unless you rigorously tested each mirror site and verified that this isn't just something random. But, that's probably just my genius talking. Anyway, I think that's about as much as I care to respond to. Just as an observation, no matter how right you think you are, it's hard to see how any logical person would expect quality help from people who they have maligned. "You're a slimy politician who won't listen to criticism and who should either be doing a better job or resign." "Please help me." Pretty funny. Again, for the record, neither setup problems nor X problems are my responsibility. I just step in when I see people being personally insulting towards one of the people who have donated their time to help them. cgf From gp@familiehaase.de Tue Nov 9 22:22:00 2004 From: gp@familiehaase.de (Gerrit P.

In a different posting it was said that it is the fontserver package, this is a different package. How should we debug this problem without correct information? This is the first posting I see about this issue where I read a detailed description, all the others I read (maybe I have not seen all of them) were about some readme file, fontserver..., nothing useful. I just reinstalled this xorg-x11-fscl package now, it works fine on NT4 AND it works fine on XP/SP2. $ cygcheck -c xorg-x11-fscl Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status xorg-x11-fscl 6.8.1.0-2 OK Why don't you send the output of cygcheck -srv as an attachment?

Of course, I use always setup.exe. It was a reinstallation which indicates that it works well before at least one time. I cannot install a fresh XP. Maybe you need to turn off the firewall? I don't know, I have deactivated every new feature which comes with SP2 because I'm an adminstrator, I don't need a dummy user software firewall which does nothing else but prevent me fromn accessing my network.

Anyway, no cygcheck output. There are some useful bits, at least in your posting where is clearly stated that it is not a specific package. However there was no cygcheck output, all reports about nearly the same issue. I cannot reproduce it. I have a different problem now myself, but at first some historical notes. At my first setup.exe run with XP/SP2 it crashed, I tracked it down myself after nobody was able to help, it was some dubious M$ software installed, I removed it, cleaned the registry and now it works. Well, now I get an error when a preremove/postinstall script should be executed: ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED, which indicates that XP refuses setup.exe to access parts of the filesystem, ie. it was a problem with cron.sh, running from the command line works well. It is simply a problem with the ACL on this system (I have XP Pro). I have not figured out what the problem is now. Funny thing is that I always have another new problem when running setup on XP and I have never problems when running on W2K or NT4. I suggest we should all go to the local XP dealer and complain! Get the money back. Your local dealer will not be that friendly as he was the day when you bought the system, but maybe he has an old copy of W2K lying around, pay the same price, no problem, W2K is better. >>Why don't you send the output of cygcheck -srv as an attachment? > I wish we could do that before or while running setup.exe . Nope, it is completely sufficient when you install a cygwin base system and run `cygcheck -svr > cygcheck.out` and send it as an attachment. What is in the Eventlog? Do you have XP Home or XP Pro, is there an Eventlog at all at XP Home? We really need more information and you have the error and should help to collect this informations. At least for the archives, when we figure out what the problem is we can introduce features in cygcheck to check for these issues, but we need to know the reason of the problem. >>Maybe your mount table is broken?

XP has many new features, figure out what they have published about SP2, turn off all the useless security fuzz. >>Why are you not providing more information? > > Problem is users don't know what "more information" develpers want.

I have problems too, but I don't complain, I try to figure what is wrong, you can help to find a solution, but complaining doesn't help, the same as saying "I see the same issue...". > Is there any way users can turn on debugging mode when running setup.exe?

I'm running Windows XP > professional with Service Pack #2. Find out what the others are using. I have currently two machines for testing: Win2k SP4 WinXP SP2 running on VmWare Both are at work. The compilation and release building is done on the Win2k host. At home I have no decent machine to test the xserver. Only a 500MHz linux box where I can cross compile and test the xserver in a pain slow VmWare win2k. I'd like to add a machine dedicated for windows to make debugging less painful. But where should I take the money from? I spend a lot of time for the project. Should I also spend the money I saved? I don't think so. And everytime someone speaks up and tells me I'm not doing the work right I even think spending the time may be wrong. Even a simple bugfix is a lot of work. For example the Lucida font were missing because of a regression in the makefiles. Identifying the error took me about 2 or 3 hours. This I could do at home. For building the packages I had to go to the office. Just building the package, verifying it worked, uploading it and writing the announcement took about 90 minutes. And if you check the sending time of the announcement you'll notice it was sent Friday night, around 23:00. I don't expect people to send me flowers for my work. But I expect them not to insult me in complete disregard of the amount of time I invest in the project. It was also mentioned I (and other regulars) could answer mails more polite and tell the user which information I need to track the error down. There was a time when the xserver just quit on error and left a log file. Users just told us the xserver did not work. We told them there was an error and asked them to send the logfile. After all we added a message box which told the user there was an error and the logfile may contain more information. Now there are still users who send mails telling us there was a message box popping up and XWin does not work. No information what the logfile told. The standard (and maybe rough) answer is "send the logfile".

Well, I've been trying to get it to work with just startxwin.bat but I am not successful. It seems to have a problem with the "run" commands. Here are the run commands: run XWin -clipboard -silent-dup-error run xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash -l I do have cygwin installed in c:\progra~1\cygwin and I have modified startxwin.bat so that SET CYGWIN_ROOT=c:\progra~1\cygwin The last time I updated anything in cygwin as last week (first week of November). Does anyone know how to get the startxwin.bat to work? Just a little more background. When I mean that it does not work, I mean that the "X" shows up as an icon next to the clock but nothing else happens. If I right click on the "X", nothing happens.

Message-ID: <1100114979.3359.25.camel@famine> Some comments on why *I* think Xming.exe might be useful: * CygWin is difficult to deploy. There are various reasons, but the most important is that CygWin does not support side-by-side installs. Some users don't care about CygWin, all they want is SSH and a stable X server and they'll be happy for years. Another example: I have some other programs (GCC embedded toolchain) that hasn't changed in a year or two and I don't want those destablised by a new version of CygWin. CygWin itself does not have any nasty dependencies that I know about. * CygWin is always in flux. Who knows if todays version is going to work? (If you install CygWin every 3 months or so, there are bound to be new and improved versions). * Download/install size is not important. If a single 20Mbyte offline installable .exe gave me SSH + CygWin, I'd be happy. What is 200Mbytes of harddisk space among friends these days? * There are two many options and questions with CygWin.

What I saw is that the process was not blocked but reserved more and more memory (I stopped at 1Go). when cancelled, setup gave me the message indicated on a post before. I will try in some mns to install again (a fresh install, I removed all by hand after my attempts) without the xorg package in order to obtain a cygcheck command to give you new informations plus I will reinstall these xorg packages.

Since the name of this mailing list is "cygwin-xfree" and the site you are using is cygwin.com, I would not expect too much traffic here regarding non-cygwin solutions. This *has* come up before and I think I'm being pretty consistent here. Alexander, if you are going to be devoting a lot of time to this project from now on do we need to find a Cygwin/X maintainer?

It can't be. Requiring cygwin1.dll to install cygwin1.dll would never work.

It's the first link ("Reporting Problems") in the "Community" section of the sidebar on most Cygwin pages, and the 5th overall link in that sidebar. How much more prominent should it be? There's also a section on the main Cygwin webpage that describes this code of conduct you mention (). It's where the "Help, contact, web page, other info..." link at the top of the main page points to.

Carlo, What did you do, exactly, on the last setup run? The log file shows that you installed the following packages: startup-notification-0.7-1 transfig-3.2.4-2 xorg-x11-bin-dlls-6.8.1.0-1 xorg-x11-devel-6.8.1.0-1 xorg-x11-fcyr-6.8.1.0-2 xorg-x11-fenc-6.8.1.0-2 xorg-x11-fscl-6.8.1.0-2 xorg-x11-fsrv-6.8.1.0-1 xorg-x11-libs-data-6.7.0.0-3 xorg-x11-man-pages-html-6.8.1.0-1 xorg-x11-nest-6.8.1.0-1 xorg-x11-vfb-6.8.1.0-1 (which means you've downgraded xorg-x11-lib-data). It also shows that the following postinstall scripts ran: xorg-x11-devel.sh xorg-x11-f100.sh xorg-x11-fcyr.sh xorg-x11-fenc.sh xorg-x11-fnts.sh xorg-x11-fscl.sh xorg-x11-libs-data.sh xorg-x11-xwin.sh which is odd, since you didn't reinstall xorg-x11-xwin or xorg-x11-f100 or xorg-x11-fnts. The previous run clearly shows setup installing xorg-x11-f100 and running the postinstall script for that package, so it should have renamed it to .done and not re-run it. Hmm, the fact that it attempts to reinstall packages, coupled with the fact that it's not renaming postinstall scripts properly, makes me wonder whether your Cygwin directory tree is writable by the user that performs the install. This would also be consistent with the "Cannot open c:\cygwin\var\log\setup.log for writing" message that others reported.

I was not threatening to fire anyone. I was asking if Alexander was going to be devoting most of his time to this new endeavor and, if so, wondering whether we needed to find another maintainer for Cygwin/X. It sounded like he had some major plans for Xming. If Alexander says "No" (as I expect him to) then that's the end of it. If he's more interested in pursuing a native-windows version of X, then I guess we have a problem. >A fruitful discussion on Xming.exe could help enumerate what issues >Xming.exe addresses and how CygWin could grow to address them. You *do* know that there is a mingw mailing list specifically designed for MingGW applications, right? We don't discuss MinGW in the cygwin list. I don't see any reason why we should have to discuss MinGW here. I'll bet that the MinGW folks would not mind creating a MinGW/X mailing list just for this endeavor. However, on the off chance that I'm being hasty, why don't you give me a "for instance" of what you think a discussion of Xming would do to help Cygwin? From my point of view, it seems like it would be the other way around. It seems like there would be a lot of discussion about the best way to handle things in a native windows app that are already handled in the Cygwin DLL. This is what I see in the MinGW mailing list. cgf From cgf-no-personal-reply-please@cygwin.com Thu Nov 11 02:01:00 2004 From: cgf-no-personal-reply-please@cygwin.com (Christopher Faylor) Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2004 02:01:00 -0000 Subject: xorg installation fails, 99% complete only In-Reply-To: <4192B839.2090009@hq.astra.ph> References: <418F39AD.4000509@sgies.com> <41905B63.4060500@sgies.com> <4192B839.2090009@hq.astra.ph> Message-ID: <20041111020059.GB6876@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> On Thu, Nov 11, 2004 at 08:54:17AM +0800, Carlo Florendo wrote: >XFree86-base 4.3.0-11 >XFree86-bin 4.3.0-21 >XFree86-bin-icons 4.3.0-7 >XFree86-doc 4.3.0-2 >XFree86-etc 4.3.0-12 >XFree86-f100 4.3.0-2 >XFree86-fcyr 4.3.0-2 >XFree86-fenc 4.3.0-2 >XFree86-fnts 4.3.0-2 >XFree86-fscl 4.3.0-2 >XFree86-fsrv 4.3.0-9 >XFree86-html 4.3.0-10 >XFree86-jdoc 4.3.0-2 >XFree86-lib 4.3.0-3 >XFree86-lib-compat 4.3.0-2 >XFree86-man 4.3.0-10 >XFree86-nest 4.3.0-8 >XFree86-prog 4.3.0-21 >XFree86-prt 4.3.0-6 >XFree86-ps 4.3.0-2 >XFree86-startup-scripts 4.3.0-1 >XFree86-vfb 4.3.0-8 >XFree86-xserv 4.3.0-68 >XFree86-xwinclip 4.3.0-3 >[snip] >xorg-x11-base 6.8.1.0-1 >xorg-x11-bin 6.8.1.0-2 >xorg-x11-bin-dlls 6.8.1.0-1 >xorg-x11-bin-lndir 6.8.1.0-1 >xorg-x11-devel 6.8.1.0-1 >xorg-x11-etc 6.8.1.0-1 >xorg-x11-f100 6.8.1.0-3 >xorg-x11-fcyr 6.8.1.0-2 >xorg-x11-fenc 6.8.1.0-2 >xorg-x11-fnts 6.8.1.0-3 >xorg-x11-fscl 6.8.1.0-2 >xorg-x11-fsrv 6.8.1.0-1 >xorg-x11-libs-data 6.7.0.0-3 >xorg-x11-man-pages 6.8.1.0-1 >xorg-x11-man-pages-html 6.8.1.0-1 >xorg-x11-nest 6.8.1.0-1 >xorg-x11-vfb 6.8.1.0-1 >xorg-x11-xwin 6.8.1.0-5 It seems like you have a lot of XFree86 packages still installed.

Message-ID: <1100159387.4499.57.camel@famine> First of all: I love CygWin! If I didn't, I would not passionatly dive into this discussion. :-) Here are a couple of reasons why I think a discussion of Xming.exe can bring something to CygWin. Basically, I believe that the Xming.exe would never have seen the light of day if if all was well with CygWin. It is a cry for help. Also, I believe the next useful solution to the set of problems that CygWin is facing is non-local. I think it is in the interest of CygWin to allow discussions and hacks to wander somewhat freely. If you stomp out this discussion, you are going to make people look elsewhere for a solution to "the CygWin mess". See bottom of this message for what I mean. Some issues that CygWin could address to make Xming.exe moot: - Side-by-side install. There is a need for e.g. SSH + and an X server in a single package that is easily deployable. This package *must* be unaffected by updates to CygWin. This would of course not be uniquely useful for X server, but would be useful for e.g. multiple independent GCC toolchains used for embedded development. E.g. its more than once that CygWin updates have broken http://sources.redhat.com/ecos tools, without bringing any new features or improvements for those tools. The many examples of cygwin1.dll being distributed along with various applications, is further evidence of this need(which is contrary to the CygWin license, BTW). - Side-by-side means CygWin next to CygWin, and CygWin next to any Windows program. - It is currently impossible for the casual programmer to debug CygWin X using GDB. See http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-10/msg00159.html - CygWin is a pain to install. It takes long to download(many files more than size with a broad connection), takes long to install and many things can and do go wrong. - CygWin messes with Windows environment variables, breaking other programs. - CygWin is broken by other programs using the Windows environment variables. - CygWin is always in motion. There is no "CygWin distribution version" like the Linux distributions operate with. There is no way to install "a specific old boring CygWin" to run some tools that never change. --- ever-so-slightly off topic :-) --- Could I delete CygWin? What I would need in it is place was the ability for Windows programs to interface to Linux programs. Where those programs run(under Linux or under Windows) is somewhat secondary. If I could somehow tell the Windows programs to talk to a Linux box (http://www.colinux.org or a real Linux box) as if those Linux programs ran under Windows, then it would do the trick. http://www.colinux.org is an interesting case, because they pretty much support side-by-side installs already. The Windows programs that need to interface to the Linux programs only talk to those programs through the following mechanisms: - stdin/stdout/stderr - ctrl-c to abort applications(there is a name for this communication channel, but I don't know what it is). - current directory - files (from Windows to Linux box and vice versa). - console (What did I leave out?) Below is an a rough idea on how this might be solved: - create a Windows filing system that makes the Linux box filing system available through e.g. a drive letter. This filing system is different from Samba. This filing system talks to the Linux box using SSH, say. - when Windows is accessing a Linux executable via this filing system, it does not serve up the Linux executable. Instead it serves up a Windows executable. This Windows executable uses, say, SSH to communicate with the Linux box to execute the command. Lets call this executable an SSH-Proxy. - The Linux box needs to be able to see the files on the Windows machine. Mechanism TBD. The SSH-Proxy knows how to translate from a Windows filename to the Linux filename. It uses this capability to set the current directory before executing the Linux command. - The SSH-Proxy tells the Linux box about the limitations of the Windows console. Example: - On the Windows machine the root of the Linux box is accessible via the drive letter e:\ - e:\etc maps to /etc, e:\usr to /usr, etc. - e:\exec is special. It does not map to /exec. Instead it is used in execution of programs that are in the path, as shown below. - On the Linux box, there is an equivalent of "/cygdrive", which I'll call "/windows" To grep my local harddrive I would: c:\bar> e:\exec\grep -r foo * On the Linux box, this would actually be executed as: oharboe@lair /windows/c/bar $ grep -r foo * -- ?yvind Harboe http://www.zylin.com From list-subscriber@hq.astra.ph Thu Nov 11 07:54:00 2004 From: list-subscriber@hq.astra.ph (Carlo Florendo) Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2004 07:54:00 -0000 Subject: [SOLVED - mysteriously...not quite] Re: xorg installation fails, 99% complete only In-Reply-To: <4192FFB4.5060809@hq.astra.ph> References: <418F39AD.4000509@sgies.com> <41905B63.4060500@sgies.com> <4192B839.2090009@hq.astra.ph> <4192FE22.2030204@hq.astra.ph> <4192FFB4.5060809@hq.astra.ph> Message-ID: <41931BAC.2060407@hq.astra.ph> Carlo Florendo wrote: > Christopher Faylor wrote: > >> It seems like you have a lot of XFree86 packages still installed. >> I have a couple of these in my installation but certainly not the >> number that I see above. > > > Yes.

Cygwin installed like a charm =) Now, I don't know why such is the case. Hmmm...To tell the truth, I was actually asking someone to follow instructions from me, (i.e. press this button, select "Unix", click ok, etc.). However, when I myself tried do a fresh uninstall and fresh install, all worked well. In any case, I'm now attaching cygcheck.out and setup.log (compressed) so the experts could point out what difference it had with my previous posting of cygcheck.out and setup.log, My suspicion is that the one whom I asked to install cygwin did something else that she didn't tell me....(What I saw when she was installing cygwin was the "99% completed" on xorg that never stopped. This, I verified with my eyes. On her following my instructions, I didn't see it with my own eyes. She just said she did.) Sheesh...sorry for all these noise for the past 3 days.

I would be surprised that my test with different TMP variables could work because they work for all the packages before. Could it be more something like trying to open more than the permitted number of files ? when trying at this step to open one more handler, setup would fail go into a continuable exception not releasing the memory associated with this corrupted handler and trying again consuming memory ? Is it ridiculous ?

I'll try something else. I will remove one and only one unitary package in order to see if I block on the same file. If not I will assume my hypothesis based on the number of file opened could be a good one.

It is a cry for help. Not a rationale for discussing MinGW projects on a Cygwin list. The MinGW project came about due to the Cygwin project. The MinGW project has a separate mailing list. And, they created the mailing list themselves without offering specious arguments about why they should be able to keep discussing things in the Cygwin list. >Also, I believe the next useful solution to the set of problems that >CygWin is facing is non-local.

This is just more of "I think it would be nice". >Some issues that CygWin could address to make Xming.exe moot: > >- Side-by-side install. There is a need for e.g. SSH + and an X >server in a single package that is easily deployable. This is not a goal of Cygwin any more than it is a goal of Red Hat Linux to be easily deployable with SuSE. This has come up repeatedly in the main list. Maybe you should do some research before you start suggesting things that have already been beaten to death. It is not that hard to install a Cygwin/X/SSH package into an existing cygwin installation. It just requires care. The problem is that no one wants to take the time to do things carefully. Everyone wants to use a simple tar ball or a simple copy to the main disk and have things work. That is not going to work but having an installer which first checked the cygwin version and the cygwin layout and then installed things into that would work. The installer could optionally install the cygwin DLL if required. The problem is that it seems that every single person who whines about needing two versions of cygwin on the same computer lacks either the ability or the concentration to be able to figure out how to do this. Given that no one has stepped forward to provide tools for doing this, I am left to conclude that this basically boils down to "I know how to use a baseball bat. I'm trying to trim my hedges. The baseball bat is not working right. Please, Mr. Baseball Bat Manufacturer take fix your bat!" However, if it was an issue, then the solution would not be to develop a whole bunch of packages using MinGW. The solution would be to modify *cygwin*. >E.g. its more than once that CygWin updates have broken >http://sources.redhat.com/ecos tools, without bringing any new features >or improvements for those tools. 1) This has absolutely nothing to do with X. 2) If Cygwin is an important platform for eCos, then the solution to this problem is for eCos people to be involved in the cygwin mailing list. >- Side-by-side means CygWin next to CygWin, and CygWin next to any Windows >program. Cygwin already exists fine next to any Windows program.

See http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-10/msg00159.html This has nothing to do with discussing a MinGW version of X. If something needs to be fixed in cygwin or in gdb, you fix cygwin or gdb.

Wow, your logic really escapes me. You haven't provided one fact-based rationale for why it would be advantageous to discuss a non-cygwin program in a cygwin mailing list. All of your arguments are the "grasping at straws" variety. Your arguments boil down to: 1) Xming would not have come about if not for Cygwin. 1) You don't really understand how cygwin works. (cygwin messes with Windows environment variables) 2) Cygwin is hard to install. 3) You can't put as many versions of Cygwin on the computer as you want to (without understanding what you are doing). 4) When there is a Cygwin update it can break programs. 5) You think it is a good idea. Ranting about Cygwin problems is not a rationale for allowing discussion of non-cygwin solutions. If Cygwin has problems you FIX THE PROBLEMS. You don't move on to some other system. Or, actually, YOU may do that. You just don't do it here. If you decide that Interix is the solution to all of your cygwin frustrations, you don't hijack the cygwin lists and start discussing Interix there. You move to an Interix-specific forum. So, sorry, request denied. I forgot about this last night but I will point out that there is a dormant mailing list on sourceware.org which was actually set up for the purpose of discussing a non-cygwin version of X -- win32-x11. I set this up the last time someone decided to play around with a non-cygwin version of X. Feel free to move Xming discussions there. Alexander, if you want to resurrect that project and use sourceware.org to host it, let me know (in private email). cgf From cgf-no-personal-reply-please@cygwin.com Thu Nov 11 15:41:00 2004 From: cgf-no-personal-reply-please@cygwin.com (Christopher Faylor) Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2004 15:41:00 -0000 Subject: xorg installation fails, 99% complete only In-Reply-To: <419357D4.9000704@wanadoo.fr> References: <418FC324.3030009@bellsouth.net> <41926F46.1070709@wanadoo.fr> <20041110213409.GB19984@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> <41928D42.6030902@wanadoo.fr> <20041110220554.GD19984@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> <4192A82B.40205@wanadoo.fr> <419357D4.9000704@wanadoo.fr> Message-ID: <20041111154121.GG12133@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> On Thu, Nov 11, 2004 at 01:15:16PM +0100, bruno patin wrote: >Last experiment, > >I use the ollydbg tool in order to begin to see what is the problem >inside setup.

People ask for "su" to work correctly. People occasionally want to discuss Xceed here, too.

Is anyone here *at all* familiar with MinGW? Apparently few of you are or you wouldn't be making arguments like this. Much of MinGW is based on the same source code as what Cygwin uses. Using this logic, since Cygwin/X is based on the same source code that runs on many different platforms, apparently we should just shut this mailing list down and move everyone over to the main Xorg mailing lists. >But anyway we'll happy carry on discussion on a different list But not before trying to get off a few more shots, eh? cgf From davidf@sjsoft.com Thu Nov 11 16:45:00 2004 From: davidf@sjsoft.com (David Fraser) Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2004 16:45:00 -0000 Subject: Why Xming.exe?

That's >the reason why I'd like an advice fromm christopher Faylor that knows >certainly what could happen on nt. I'm thinking that there is something odd about setup's handing of files in directories which have not been explicitly created in the tar archive. That's why I was asking if c:/cygwin/usr/X11R6/share/doc/Cygwin existed. It didn't seem like the tar archive was creating it specifically. I don't know why this would affect some people but not others, though. When I install cygwin from scratch in a base install + all X packages selected, I don't see this. So maybe this is a red herring. Anyway, to the end of confirming my theory, I have (I HOPE) regenerated all of the X11 files in the distribution and made sure that directory creation precedes filename creation in every case. I haven't bumped the version numbers, though, since this is purely a cosmetic change. This change will take a while to hit mirrors since many files were affected but if you check that a mirror contains files with today's date, then it is worth trying a full install to see if your problem mysteriously goes away. So, Bruno, could you periodically check: ftp://mirrors.sunsite.dk/pub/cygwin/release/X11/xorg-x11-fscl/ wait until the file xorg-x11-fscl-6.8.1.0-2.tar.bz2 shows today's date, and then try your test case again to see if it hangs? I think that setup.exe should do the right thing and download the changed files but, if it doesn't, you'll have to delete them from your disk. As far as handles are concerned, I don't think that there is any upper limit on the number that can be allocated. The only limitation is 32 bits and the amount of available memory. It seems like people are hitting this limit if they allow setup to run long enough. cgf From cgf-no-personal-reply-please@cygwin.com Thu Nov 11 18:26:00 2004 From: cgf-no-personal-reply-please@cygwin.com (Christopher Faylor) Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2004 18:26:00 -0000 Subject: xorg installation fails, 99% complete only In-Reply-To: <20041111182057.GC14312@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> References: <41926F46.1070709@wanadoo.fr> <20041110213409.GB19984@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> <41928D42.6030902@wanadoo.fr> <20041110220554.GD19984@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> <4192A7AD.2000203@wanadoo.fr> <41931BF8.4030306@familiehaase.de> <41937E7A.1000008@wanadoo.fr> <4193A28D.9090503@familiehaase.de> <4193A494.1030509@wanadoo.fr> <20041111182057.GC14312@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> Message-ID: <20041111182637.GD14312@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> On Thu, Nov 11, 2004 at 01:20:57PM -0500, Christopher Faylor wrote: >So, Bruno, could you periodically check: > >ftp://mirrors.sunsite.dk/pub/cygwin/release/X11/xorg-x11-fscl/ FWIW, http://mirrors.rcn.com/pub/sourceware/cygwin/release/X11/xorg-x11-fscl/ shows that this file is now updated on the mirrors.rcn.net mirror.

Nope. It's possible to create files that aren't readable/writeable by the "Administrators" group. Being in "Administrators" allows you to take ownership of the files or change the mode on them, but AFAIK that's not done in the course of a normal write.

I understand that you think that to open for writing a name where the directory do no exist could provoke problems. It would explain the non blocking exception (am I right ?) that occurs and loops indefinitely (is it what you think ?). What of the fact that the error occurs only after being able to write a given number of file in this directory (around ten files where created) ? what of the fact that when you do not install only one file before (like cron) you are able to write one more file in this directory ? I'm not sufficiently proficient in the cygwin coding to answer these questions. So my work is to begin a new complete install with the new packages. Do I have to reload all of them ? only xorg related packages ? What I intend to do is begin again the first test described under with the reloaded x11 files. Is it what you want ? ------------------------------------------------------------------- To summarize what I did when testing and the problems I saw (I do that not only for repeating but also to have all the datas on only one mail) 1/ complete test I have a local version of all the cygwin distro (got at mirrors.sunsite.dk) I begin by deleting my cygwin root on the disk but not the entries of the registry I launch setup selecting everything Arriving at the file: /usr/X11R6/share/doc/Cygwin/xorg-x11-fscl-6.8.1.0.README setup enters a loop delivering the log message one after the other indefintely (view through ollydbg) ....

The second message is issued through an exception You can see two things increasing with the same speed, the memory consumed and the handlers. when cancelled, the message issued by setup is "cannot open log file c:\cygwin/var/log/setup.log for writing" another box opens but disappear too fast for me to give you the message With this test, no setup.log is created at all This test has been conducted with these different changes: I changed the rights of the /var directory with chmod a+w with no effect (because of the absence of setup) I changed the TEMP and TMP variables values (erasing blanks of the names) 2/ successive setup I conducted a first setup without X11 and a second with only X11 .It worked fine with setup.log created 3/ complete test with one file (cron) not installed The behaviour is exactly the same as in first test with only the file on which it stopped as a difference.

Igor, it was grabbing the wrong packages from Xfree. It was grabbing full packages, xfree-bin comes to mind, as that was the only one it picked up on. Bobby BTW it was straight out off the net, full, all users, unix. I'll try again later. This time without the xorg.

Now I'm getting a report that setup is not closing the files. It can't get past the update_info now. Something has happened to setup. Either that, or Cygwin is bigger now than when the current version came out. I lost the URL to the test version of setup. I know they have been working on. I see it in the CVS logs every day.

You have to do whatever it is that you do to cause the problem. The mirror has been updated (I created the tar files in a way that made them unreadable by setup earlier but that's fixed now) so you should be able to install as normal. cgf From bruno.patin@wanadoo.fr Fri Nov 12 07:05:00 2004 From: bruno.patin@wanadoo.fr (bruno patin) Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2004 07:05:00 -0000 Subject: xorg installation fails, 99% complete only In-Reply-To: <20041112055432.GA22077@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> References: <20041110220554.GD19984@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> <4192A7AD.2000203@wanadoo.fr> <41931BF8.4030306@familiehaase.de> <41937E7A.1000008@wanadoo.fr> <4193A28D.9090503@familiehaase.de> <4193A494.1030509@wanadoo.fr> <20041111182057.GC14312@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> <4193AF14.6020801@wanadoo.fr> <20041111183115.GF14312@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> <4193CC73.4090501@wanadoo.fr> <20041112055432.GA22077@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> Message-ID: <4194609F.4000503@wanadoo.fr> Christopher Faylor wrote: >On Thu, Nov 11, 2004 at 09:32:51PM +0100, bruno patin wrote: > > >>So my work is to begin a new complete install with the new packages. >>Do I have to reload all of them ? only xorg related packages ? >> >> > >You have to do whatever it is that you do to cause the problem. > >The mirror has been updated (I created the tar files in a way that made >them unreadable by setup earlier but that's fixed now) so you should be >able to install as normal. > >cgf > > > > OK, I reload all and do a new install (it will take a little time as I do not have a really fast connection).

One problem I have at the moment is hardware related: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.1/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: final link failed: No space left on device And I have just 512 MB RAM, but linking a non-debugging version of the necko layout library requires 1.25 GB RAM, the debugging version requires 1.75 GB RAM and lots of free HD space. It is not crucial, it just lasts very long to link this library if 1.25 GB needs to be swapped. I have some more RAM which I can use so this is not really a problem. If you have enough RAM (1 GB) you could compile it too and then run it with gdb. I'm not in a hurry and I'll be out of town the next week. I try to update my sources and my patchfile to offer a patch which will apply against a recent nightly-snapshot of mozilla.

Tonight I updated cygwin with all the latest packages. The update displayed error: "mfw.exe Unable to Locate DLL". But at the end it said it completed successfully. So I tried startxwin.bat... failed could not find XWin. So I manually untared xorg-x11-xwin-6.8.1.0-5. I tried again this time it could not find cygX11-6.dll so I untarred xorg-x11-bin-dlls-6.8.1.0-1.tar. Still reports the same error. At this point I moved C:\cygwin to C:\cygwin.broke and tried to a fresh install. I still got the same error "could not find cygX11-6.dll". Is the current install of X broken ? How can I get my X working again, trying to uninstall xorg 6.8 seems almost impossible using the setup program. -Thanks Steve More From redetin@luukku.com Fri Nov 12 12:14:00 2004 From: redetin@luukku.com (Jani Tiainen) Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2004 12:14:00 -0000 Subject: X11/Xlib.h missing In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Alexander Gottwald wrote: > On Fri, 12 Nov 2004, Jani Tiainen wrote: > > >>Jani Tiainen wrote: >> >>>Alexander Gottwald wrote: >>> >>> >>>>On Fri, 12 Nov 2004, Jani Tiainen wrote: >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>>>I tried to install development headers (xorg-x11-devel, version >>>>>6.8.1.0-1).

For the time being I have to download a source equivalent to yours. Do you have a specific adress or do I search on the mozilla site ?

I could see the setup.exe messages flashing by as it was "installing" the xorg packages but, when I was done, only some things from X were installed. If I unpacked the tar.bz2 files by hand then I got everything I expected. It took about an hour for a "Oh. Wait a minute." reaction to kick in. The problem with the tar files was that I'd used the -o option to tar when creating the tar files. This creates smaller tar files but apparently setup.exe doesn't like the old style tar format. Anyway, I'm just operating on a hunch here but I'll be REALLY interested to hear if this repackaging fixes the problems that people were seeing. If it does, I'll look into the setup code to see why that is. cgf From Arijit.Mukherjee@newcastle.ac.uk Fri Nov 12 16:20:00 2004 From: Arijit.Mukherjee@newcastle.ac.uk (Arijit Mukherjee) Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2004 16:20:00 -0000 Subject: X startup failure Message-ID: <2ED602334F87F94CB1CA268F9608C1946E9E94@moonraker.campus.ncl.ac.uk> Hi I just installed a fresh version of Cygwin on my WinXP machine.

I don't think I will be ready to work before tomorrow because of my testing of the install procedure and as my connection is not as fast as thunder and as my daughters live on it a lot (ah msn messenger :-( )and as I have to download a complete cygwin distro ... So as soon as I'm ready and I lauch the configure, I report to you. How will I be able to get your patch ? Will you send me the files patched ?

I believe this is a misconfiguration of my X server which is why I am posting a help message here rather than with an XEmacs newsgroup. I am running "XWin -multiwindow -clipboard" (Release 6.8.1.0-5) on a MS Windows XP Pro box, however all my X clients are on a Solaris 9 box. When I use gnuclient (on the Solaris box) to open a file with an existing XEmacs instance, the file is opened successfully but XEmacs is not raised up to the top. So I have to use Alt-Tab to get to it. Not a calamity, but irritating. The XEmacs documentation indicates that on some X servers, the raise-frame function needs to be called so I use this gnuclient command line to open the file: /opt/sfw/bin/gnuclient -eval '(progn (raise-frame) (focus-frame (selected- frame))))' I tried this using XWin without the builtin window manager (using twm or mwm as the window manager) and then autoraise seems to work. But this is not a good environment for me as I need constant access to both the X windows and the PC. I have done quite a bit of searching of the web and FAQs and manual pages and cannot find this even mentioned. So either it is so obvious that no-one could possibly need it explained, or it has just never come up. Or I used the wrong keywords in the searches. So, what's the secret to getting this to work? Many thanks for your help. -- Harold Below is the cygcheck.out. Please forgive the volume.

It might have had something to do with what I said when I responded to your email an hour-and-a-half before this message from Igor "I immediately respond to every message without checking for any other responses" Pechtchanski. To quote: *** I repackaged some of the X .tar.bz2 yesterday to potentially work around *** a problem installing. The options that I used to tar confused setup.exe *** into thinking that the packages were empty. *** *** So, this is consistent with the symptoms of trying to install one of *** those packages. This should be rectified soon as the new versions of *** the tar files make it out to all of the mirrors. *** *** So, the solution is "try again". So, this isn't very mysterious at all. cgf From redetin@luukku.com Fri Nov 12 22:41:00 2004 From: redetin@luukku.com (Jani Tiainen) Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2004 22:41:00 -0000 Subject: X11/Xlib.h missing In-Reply-To: <20041112152723.GG26737@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> References: <20041112151334.GE26737@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> <20041112152723.GG26737@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> Message-ID: Christopher Faylor wrote: > On Fri, Nov 12, 2004 at 10:13:34AM -0500, Christopher Faylor wrote: > >>On Fri, Nov 12, 2004 at 11:27:51AM +0200, Jani Tiainen wrote: >> >>>I tried to install development headers (xorg-x11-devel, version >>>6.8.1.0-1).

So as soon as I'm ready and I lauch the configure, I report > to you. How will I be able to get your patch ? Will you send me the > files patched ? Here is the patch, should apply against the daily snapshot from today or yesterday. I have the source extracted three times, one directory from where I build (name: mozilla). Then I have two directories with the original sources, one from the fetched tarball (name: mozilla-orig) and another tree where I apply the changes from the CVS repository (name: mozilla-cvs). Before I start a build I do the following: $ cd mozilla-cvs $ cvs -z9 update $ cd .. $ diff -Nurdp mozilla-orig mozilla-cvs > mozilla-update.patch $ cd mozilla $ patch -p1<../mozilla-update.patch Look where are conflicts now. $ cd ../mozilla-orig $ patch -p1<../mozilla-update.patch This time there should be no conflicts. Then update the local patch: $ diff -Nurdp -x '.build' mozilla mozilla-orig > mozilla.patch This way I have two reference trees, one identical with the CVS repository, one with my changes independat from the original. I'm sure there are smarter ways to do stuff like this, eg. use CVS to get all the diffs from the older snapshot until todays repository contents, or do it all in one tree, but I like it this way. My sophisticated build script is in the toplevel: gerrit@loreley /ftproot/pub/mozilla $ ls log.conf log.make mozilla/ mozilla-cvs/ mozilla-orig/ mozconfig-mozilla.sh* mozilla-source.tar.bz2 mozilla-update.patch mozilla.patch mozconfig-mozilla.sh: #!/bin/sh export CC="ccache gcc" export CXX="ccache g++" export MOZ_INTERNAL_LIBART_LGPL=1 export MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1 mkdir -p mozilla/.build cd mozilla/.build ../configure --prefix=/usr 2>&1 | tee ../log.conf make 2>&1 | tee ../log.make # end of script Run the script: $ ./mozconfig-mozilla.sh This lasts an hour or two...if there are no errors. If you want use othe options to configure the tree, modify the file mozilla/.mozconfig To get a tarball in mozilla/.build/dist with the new compiled program there is a make target: $ cd mozilla/.build $ make -C xpinstall/packager This will create a tarball which extracts all into a directory named mozilla, just extract this tarball eg. from /opt, then cd to mozilla/ and run the script 'mozilla' in /opt/mozilla: $ ./mozilla Maybe adding /opt/mozilla to the PATH is not bad, then it can be started from everywhere, and X must be running already.

Can you check whether this sh.exe process is running before you start ssh (e.g., compare the outputs of "ps -ef" before and after "ssh -X")? I don't recall any option that would make ssh start a shell on the local machine. Are your ssh config files customized? Are you running keychain, or autossh, or any other ssh-related scripts? Are you running Cygwin's ssh? Are you running /usr/bin/ssh, or is ssh aliased to anything? Is your DISPLAY set when you run ssh.exe?

There are basicly 3 possible ways - wait until someone has the time to dig up documentation how the autoraise should work and fixes that bug - dig up the documentation yourself and report which window manager message should be handled - fix it yourself The fastest is most likely number two. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 From khalidalkalla@msn.com Sat Nov 13 14:12:00 2004 From: khalidalkalla@msn.com (Khalid Al-Kalla) Date: Sat, 13 Nov 2004 14:12:00 -0000 Subject: HELP!

For the setup.log.full I was obliged to split the compressed file (setup.log.zip) by the command split -b 75000 setup.log.zip. my new test: I reload everything from the same server (see my setup.1 that speaks of it) I intall from my local directory and arriving at (main panel of the setup window): installing xorg-x11-fnts-6.8.1.0-3 /etc/postinstall/xorg-x11-fnts.sh the process loops. At this step I cygcheck the system (cygcheck.out.before). Before cancelling, I had 990Mo and increasing of memory reserved. What is funny is that when you examine the processus list no one of them do reserve such an amount of memory. After cancelling, I have exactly the same error (cannot open log file c:\cygwin/var/log/setup.log for writing). the process always loops as I have not click the ok button. I recorded an new cygcheck.out.after1 When clicking, there my memory is released (at last) and the cygcheck.out.after2 gives the status. As before, no setup.log is created at all. I launched again the setup with only some of the package (default for all except x11). This time, as in the tests before, it works and I completed my install. Here is setup.log and setup.log.full What I really think is that it is setup that have a problem. There is on xp, sp2 something that grows with a kernel call. -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...

I just installed cygwin and xorg this morning, and its been working ever since. I installed cygwin first, and then xorg. I download both from the net, simply installing from the net. I have ADSL, and a very fast connection (3.00 Mb per second, although the ftp site I use only sends at 300 Kb per second.) The net is slow to me, because of the speed of my net connection. Its not me. I have a connection that is made for playing games, though i use it to download GPL software and other software. Another thing I did yesterday, was installing cygwin and xorg seperately, from a local directory, and that worked too. Its installing both at the same time that causes problems. Its not my software. Wednesday, I tried barebones with nothing but Office 2000. Same problems. I was not running Zone Alarm or Defender Pro Antispy. So the problem is setup. The error I got yesterday was that it was opening too many files (setup) and not closing them. Too many files open. I sent in my cygcheck.out. And reset the computer this morning. Had to reload all my software (not much, just my DVD writer, PVR, and some other software) I installed cygwin in two stages and started work on compiling GCC 3.4.3 and Timidity. I plan on comipiling a cygwin only X based timidity. I'll put it on my website. I'm counting on the user to get his/her own soundfount because my upload limit at Yahoo is 5 megabytes, and the smallest soundfont I found is 8 mb. There are plenty of soundfonts. The X of timiidty will look great under Xorg. Its going to use Xaw3d. Yes, I found a use for the widgets. I've built the X version of Timidity before. Won't take long to compile it.

So here my complete mozilla command. This looks wrong: .../configure --prefix=/usr --enable-debug --enable-debug --disable-strip Just two dots to refer to the upper next dirctory! But don't specify options with the configure command! Add or remove or change settings in the .mozconfig file in the toplevel source directory so it will be included ion the patch files and it is safe. I only specify --prefix with the configure command since these are user options, eg. you can specify --prefix/opt/mozilla here.

That seems pretty one-sided to me. > Yes, I did read what Bobby said. His post wasn't meant for Alexander. He was responding to Daniel who previously "just wanted to add" something to the discussion. From my view it was meant for the users and for the Cygwin "team" or the "management" not a particular developer. Like I said I think what Bobby said was perfectly all right and reasonable. I was also adding something the the discussion just like Daniel did. I saw what he added as useful to both users and developers. To users it indicated that there was some problem with the installation so everyone should be aware of. To developers this problem should be investigated and fixed. Also to developers he referred to a previous developer who he thought did a better job. Now I can understand most people would be upset if anyone tell you they think someone did or can do a better job but if I was a developer here I would just listen to what Bobby said, be open-minded, and think, because he might be right. I have been installing/using Cygwin for years and this is the first time I have a problem. I thought Bobby might be thinking the same thing before suggested that. > >You need the users and the users need you. > > You somehow think that there is a flow of obligation going from me to > you?

Sorry. > I was talking about users and developers in general. I didn't say that you needed me. I said that you needed the users. But since you have shown your typical developer attitude I should make this point clearer. Every user of your free software has contributed somehow to your project. They don't have to be here to show that they are contributing. Just if they download and install and use your software is enough. Why? These people although they don't come here to praise you or give their supports to you when they don't find bugs/problems in your software they are still helping you testing the software for you. Their absence here tells that the software works for them althouth some just don't bother to come here no matter they found a problem or they have fixed it themselves or maybe they are in some other places like IRC channels, forums, usenet, etc. As for those who come posting questions, they may not be "capable of sending bug reports or providing constructive feedback without pontificating" in your eyes but they are making contribution to your project. Not all of them really need help. Some are just reporting bugs/problems so that they can be fixed and everyone can be happy both users and developers. I was in this type of users when I was confirming this problem. You said that I'm benefitting from your efforts and Alexander's efforts, that is ture. But when you said you are not benefitting from my efforts in any way, that is not true. I spent time and efforts to download files and test the installation and I spent time to report that here. Should I have to go through all this had the setup.exe worked properly? No. I didn't really need those X components from Cygwin I only needed the C compiler and I usually do "install everything" when I install any software. I found the problem so I came here and found other users with the same problem then I did more tests in order to confirm the problem here. I don't mind you are not appreciating what I did but I want you not to forget that this type of users does exist and you will appreciate their efforts or not is up to you but you should never underestimate their efforts. They may well call that an insult to them. > >It is simple, you either do it your best or you don't do it at all. > > Sorry, but that is simple-minded pap.

My post wasn't entirely directed to you or Alexander. I was making a number of points to developers in general just like Bobby was saying he wouldn't be installing Cygwin until the problem's fixed to users and developers in general. I think of developers here as a team with proper structure, with management. I don't know if I am right or wrong about that but I would rather have my messages to the team replied by the management. I don't like seeing developers having to answer and handle all this stress while they should be developing/working.

This is typical of most people. You can refuse to provide good quality help to anyone you don't like. No one would force you to do otherwise. But if you have the duty to do it, you'll have to do it.

Alright, Installed all packages with the "Install" setting. If I want to now add the X11 packages without disturbing the other packages should I have the X11 packages set to "Install" and the others set to "Reinstall"? I must install all of the packages because I once tried installing X11 with "Install" after installing everything else with "Default" and I did not have ssh functionality. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Oops. libfontconfig-devel-2.2.2-1.tar.bz2 was the package that I experimented with initially so I'd pulled it from the big list of files that I converted -- meaning that it wasn't "reconverted" when I fixed things. It's ok now and will be on a mirror near you soon. Sorry again for messing things up. It's too bad that setup.exe doesn't understand files built the way I built them since the tar files are smaller. cgf From nw@physics.ucla.edu Mon Nov 15 20:00:00 2004 From: nw@physics.ucla.edu (Nick Wisniewski) Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2004 20:00:00 -0000 Subject: Problems with ssh and tunnelling with cygwin 1.5.12 Message-ID: <41990A51.2020703@physics.ucla.edu> Igor Pechtchanski wrote: > On Fri, 12 Nov 2004, Nicholas Wisniewski wrote: > >> Hello, >> I'm trying ssh and tunnel to various machines.

There is a small drawback with run.exe. The windowed mode does not work properly. You can start XWin with -nodecoration or -multiwindow or -rootless which all work fine. But the windowed mode will not work. This is because run is designed to supress the console window. Somehow windows supresses the x11 window too. I've not been able to track this down yet. bye ago NP: Welle Erdball - Frontalaufprall -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 From mark.paulus@mci.com Mon Nov 15 22:20:00 2004 From: mark.paulus@mci.com (Mark Paulus) Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2004 22:20:00 -0000 Subject: WMaker 0.90 broken?

It has to be ssh trying to execute some system(..) call prior to opening the connection, and the problem is with the command in question; that's hanging up, openssh is waiting for it to complete.... boom! Although I'm not familiar with the source code and haven't studied it (and 'grep' is _not_ a source analysis tool!), nonetheless a quick grep lends at least some support to this hypothesis: dk@mace /usr/src/openssh-3.9p1-2> grep -w sh *.[ch] auth.c: * legal, and means /bin/sh. defines.h:# define _PATH_BSHELL "/bin/sh" pathnames.h: * /bin/sh before starting the shell or command if they exist. They will be session.c: * legal, and means /bin/sh. sshconnect.c: * Use "exec" to avoid "sh -c" processes on some platforms dk@mace /usr/src/openssh-3.9p1-2> That comment in sshconnect.c looks highly significant to me! You could probably strace openssh, then find out what parameters sh.exe is being called with, and see if sh.exe shows the same behaviour when you try the same command from a prompt. I think the problem that needs tracking down will turn out to be with the commands that openssh is relying on sh to execute, rather than anything intrinsic to openssh itself. Actually strace probably isn't necessary. I see lines like this debug("Executing proxy command: %.500s", command_string); and oh look! like this! /* * Run $HOME/.ssh/rc, /etc/ssh/sshrc, or xauth (whichever is found * first in this order). */ static void do_rc_files(Session *s, const char *shell) { FILE *f = NULL; char cmd[1024]; int do_xauth; struct stat st; do_xauth = s->display != NULL && s->auth_proto != NULL && s->auth_data != NULL; /* ignore _PATH_SSH_USER_RC for subsystems */ if (!s->is_subsystem && (stat(_PATH_SSH_USER_RC, &st) >= 0)) { snprintf(cmd, sizeof cmd, "%s -c '%s %s'", shell, _PATH_BSHELL, _PATH_SSH_USER_RC); if (debug_flag) fprintf(stderr, "Running %s\n", cmd); f = popen(cmd, "w"); which make me think you ought to just be able to run ssh with some debug options on the command line, and that ought to give you enough information to find out what's wrong. Try "ssh -v -v -v " and see what that tells you. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today....

Then we upgraded to a Windows 2003 domain. I still have the same XP work station but now when I run startx cygwin crashes with errors about the clipboard. I have tried disabled the shared clipboard feature and the X server will now come up. I can run xeyes fine. However when I try to run xterm the CPU load on the Xserver goes straight to 100% and stays there. I have done an strace on xterm and I can see it is waiting on a read from the tcp socket to the X server, after 20 minutes the Xserver sends it data and up it comes. I have tried a variety of other programs and they all behave like xterm (except xeyes). I don't have any idea how to go about working out what it is doing. Can anyone help? Tim P.S. Since the domain move I have rerun mkpasswd and mkgroup, it didn't make any difference. I have also upgraded to the latest cygwin with the online installer; again it made no difference.

You have to setup cygserver. cygserver-config might help. And adding the "server" keyword to the CYGWIN environment variable. eg CYGWIN=server XWin.exe $OPTIONS @all: Is there documentation available on this? > I also think it's not a goodness that using setup to handle an > upgrade breaks the fonts package(s) and causes system > failures....

Just install it and run XWin_GL.exe instead of XWin.exe. Any feedback is welcome.

Just install it and run XWin_GL.exe instead of XWin.exe. Any feedback is welcome.

The vast majority of of them are locale specific and point to the directory /etc/X11/xserver/C. The only thing in /etc/X11/xserver/C is a tree called print. The tree /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver seems to be identical to /etc/X11/xserver. My question is: can I get rid of all those symbolic links? The reason that I ask is that I'm using Fergus' instructions for building a CD from which cygwin can be run (http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-07/msg01117.html). Because ISO-9660 file system does not support symbolic links, the technique for handling them is to create copies of everything that is symbolically linked. For /etc/X11/xserver that means about 998 MB of disk on an ntfs file system with a respectable blocking factor. /usr/X11R6/lib/xserver also takes up that much space. My hope is that X has a respectable default, something like if localization file can't be read, use /etc/X11/xserver/C (or /usr/X11R6/lib/xserver/C). Or, maybe /etc/X11/xserver/C/print really is for printing (the tree seems to contain printer specs), and if I don't want to print, I can get rid of it all. I've tried poking around at X.org, but can't seem to find documenation tha's appropriate.

You got that wrong. the above cited msg is right. ISO-9660 does understand cygwin .lnk files (which are symlinks), just the +S attribute has to be fixed.

This is a problem caused by this change: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-10/msg00364.html And, then, the problem was noted here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-10/msg00904.html The problem is that cygwin is now behaving like linux in that timed reads from a pty/tty work correctly. It is not behaving like linux in that once you get an EOF on a read using stdio, you get EOF forever after. I've made a cygwin-specific correction to the newlib library to make cygwin work more like linux. I will generate a cygwin snapshot sometime soon which should have a fix for this problem.

AFAIU, the GLX-accelerated XWin will give you speedup only for programs that use the GLX extension, which automatically excludes most standard X clients (e.g., xterm, emacs, etc). For applications not using the GLX extension, the GLX-accelerated XWin should be no different from the regular XWin. Alexander, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Solaris apps like using fixed colordepths and strange visuals. Maybe you should try changing the colordepth of windows to any of 8bit, 16 or 24bit You can start XWin_GL with the environment variable GLWIN_DUMP_PFD=1. this will print some extra information on visual creation.

I don't know why every message I send on this subject requires such intense clarification. What difference does it make if you are or are not needed to run new tests? Are you going to have to go through a 24 hour fast before you could possibly think about doing tests? Why don't you just relax and see what happens? If someone wants tests they will ask for them. If you don't want to provide them, then don't provide them. If you do want to provide them, then the person who's doing the work (not me, as I've previously stated I'm not a setup developer) will probably gratefully accept them. cgf From primorec@sbcglobal.net Sat Nov 20 04:34:00 2004 From: primorec@sbcglobal.net (Igor Furlan) Date: Sat, 20 Nov 2004 04:34:00 -0000 Subject: [Fwd: Re: xorg installation fails, 99% complete only] In-Reply-To: <20041119205827.GC27718@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> Message-ID: <20041120043440.73456.qmail@web81604.mail.yahoo.com> --- Christopher Faylor wrote: > > I don't know why every message I send on this > subject requires such > intense clarification.

Message-ID: <419FF4DF.7010108@bellsouth.net> I was reading through the daily report from Zone Alarm. It talked about Gentoo Linux's fcron. Do we have fcron? Because if we do, I think I know what is going on here. On Halloween, November 6, and November 9 of this month, I found that only I had no internet connection. I had xorg and the time. A local user can use fcron to perform a denial of service. In Linux. We have Xorg too. I had no connection on those days I mentioned. This morning, I found my internet connection disabled here. Easy to fix. Reenable it. The DOS happened on my birthday and my parrents anninversery. I had four open accounts, limited, and cygwin was installed.

Background ========== Fcron is a command scheduler with extended capabilities over cron and anacron. Affected packages =============== ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 sys-apps/fcron <= 2.9.5 *>= 2.0.2 >= 2.9.5.1 Description ========== Due to design errors in the fcronsighup program, Fcron may allow a local user to bypass access restrictions (CAN-2004-1031), view the contents of root owned files (CAN-2004-1030), remove arbitrary files or create empty files (CAN-2004-1032), and send a SIGHUP to any process. A vulnerability also exists in fcrontab which may allow local users to view the contents of fcron.allow and fcron.deny (CAN-2004-1033). Impact ====== A local attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to perform a Denial of Service on the system running Fcron. Workaround ========== Make sure the fcronsighup and fcrontab binaries are only executable by trusted users. Resolution ========= All Fcron users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/fcron-2.0.2" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2004-1030 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-1030 [ 2 ] CAN-2004-1031 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-1031 [ 3 ] CAN-2004-1032 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-1032 [ 4 ] CAN-2004-1033 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-1033 Availability ========= This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200411-27.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us. Any security concerns should be addressed to security_at_gentoo.org or alternatively, you may file a bug at http://bugs.gentoo.org.

Seems like a strange network problem. Do you have the Windows firewall or any other firewall activated?

It seems that children of the root window which use InputOnly as their class and CopyFromParent as their visual type display part of the (normally unshown) root window (with stippled black and white pattern) rather than displaying nothing. The window manager WindowLab (http://www.nickgravgaard.com/windowlab/) of which I'm the author demonstrates this bug when the user tries to drag a window (an InputOnly and CopyFromParent child of root is used to constrain the mouse pointer).

Can you create a c:\cygwin\var\log\setup.log via another program (e.g., notepad)? Are all the components in the above path executable by your user?

Most of the earlier reports of this exact problem were answered in the same exact way as I've just answered you.

The two statements above are not connected in any way. Installing Cygwin without X11 first doesn't preclude you from installing all the packages. Theoretically, installing everything at once and everything in two parts should produce equivalent installations. The technique of splitting the install process is simply a workaround for a known (and currently being worked on) bug in setup.exe.

That could help a lot if feasible. Is it XP SP2? If Cygwin/X is started on XP SP2 windows asks if it should allow access to the network. If it does not for you then the builtin firewall will most likely deny the access. You should allow XWin to access port 6000 in the security preferences screen. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 From frank.streitzig@s2you.de Tue Nov 23 18:08:00 2004 From: frank.streitzig@s2you.de (Frank Streitzig) Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2004 18:08:00 -0000 Subject: fvwm2 key bindings In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: >> xev output if i presses Alt+F5: >> >> KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1400001, >> root 0x3a, subw 0x0, time 35891765, (114,72), root:(180,93), >> state 0x18, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES, >> XLookupString gives 0 bytes: > > Argh.

I have tried to read everything I can on this subject, and I have not had much luck after 2 days of messing around with this. Here is what works: Open rxvt issue the command "X" Cygwin/x starts up how I want it. On just one of my monitors, with max/min buttons and a title bar. I open another window...and issue "xterm -e "ssh -Y -l username host" and finally startkde. Works like a champ. I have an Xserver up and running with Min and Max buttons, and KDE. Perfect, except there is a terminal hanging around that I don't need on my desktop. So I tried the following: run X. The server starts but the windowed screen doesn't show up. *** Here is the bottomline question. How can I get an Xserver running when I issue the command "X" and to have it detach from rxvt. *** I've tried to use XWin.exe with a number of options, but I have yet to duplicate what simply X does with no arguments. I am running Windows XP SP2 with 3 Monitors. I only want one monitor in use for XWindows. Thanks HFC ____________________________________________ Henry F.

I changed both these to full access. Now, /cygwin/usr/X../bin/startxwin.bat works :) On a desktop Windows2000 machine, I would start cygwin bash shell and then type startx to start the X-server ... that still does not work on my laptop, but it doesnt matter since starting X-server directly is a better option anyway. Also, I gather Cygwin/X controls the windows thru TCP sockets. Ah well, learn something new ...

What you've seen there is the KDE desktop running on windows. The default startup of Cygwin/X will just start the xserver and enables it to show every X11 window in its own Windows window. If you want a desktop with Gnome or KDE then check out http://kde-cygwin.sf.net http://cygnome.sf.net or you could install the WindowMaker windowmanager and adjust startxwin.bat to not start XWin with the -multiwindow switch and start wmaker (i think twm is the commented default) With the current setting you can install the X-startmenu-icons and you'll get an entry Cygwin/X in the startmenu with shortcuts to a lot of installed programs from xorg-x11. bye ago NP: Die ?rzte - Eines Tages Werde Ich Mich R?c -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 From mzap80@hotmail.com Sat Nov 27 17:55:00 2004 From: mzap80@hotmail.com (m. z.)

The problem had several aspects. - When we "up" graded Cygwin at one point (can't remember which) things stopped working so we fell back. - When we "up" graded our Red Hat 8 from Gnome to KDE, the cut/paste stopped working. It was dead for a while until a KDE upgrade came along that included an upgrade to a package that caused things to work ... sometimes. So there was a KDE problem -- but I don't recall what package it was (I think it had a Q in it). However, we are current on KDE and things are working ... sometimes. The final solution and to fix it so it works almost all the time was that: --- We stopped using -clipboard. Instead we run the standalone xwinclip after the cygwin was started. --- When using the xwinclip, it would either fail quickly or fail to start at all or fail to restart if we used the windows "start" command. Instead we simply run xwinclip.exe (without the "start" command) about 20 seconds after the cygwin is started. It is best to wait until the linux desktop is up and settled in. --- With that method, xwinclip will start and stay started about 80% of the time. However, sometimes it won't start/restart or it will die during the day. Attempts to restart it at that point often do not work immediately. The solution to that is to go into a simple windows program like Notepad, highlight some plain text and do ctrl-c. Then try restarting xwinclip.exe -- it should work. Somehow it gets something in its craw that it does not know what to do with and it dies. I know that some of my problems are probably because we are still using Win95 for desktops. (We are holding out until linux gets good enough on the "corporate desktop" that we can switch to all-linux; soon I hope if the linux-heads would realize that they need to get serious about linux in the corporate environment before Joe Employee can be productive with.) I also know that since I am not using the latest and greatest (?) Cygwin stuff, I can't whine about things not working. However, I find the Cygwin upgrade process so darn obnoxious and time consuming with multiple download sites which may or may not work at any given moment and then you have to start over, blah, blah, blah. I would be willing to PAY for a STABLE Cygwin upgrade/download method so that I did not have to play sysadmin to get the latest versions. (Someday hopefully the Cygwin folks will realize that not everybody likes to twiddle bits and that some people have to work at their jobs to make money instead of trying to figure out how to get stuff downloaded.)

The rootless code wants the pixmap buffer aligned to 32bit boundaries. If the window width is odd and the xserver is run in 16bpp mode then this is no guaranteed and this leads the strange errors. Internalwm is only usable in 32bit mode. This is not an actual problem. The goal should be anyway to work with 32 bit visuals only and have real transparancy. I'm still searching for a clean method to blit 32 bit bitmaps to 16 bit ones. The simple aproach of allocating the bitmap with CreateCompatibleBitmap() bitmap->width = width bitmap->height = height bitmap->bpp = dbBPP CreateDIBSection() BitBlt(windowdc, ..., shadowdc, ...) was not working properly. Is CreateCompatibleBitmap reusing the DC from the screen? How can I create a 32bit bitmap if the desktop is running in 16bit? Anyway. Setting the bitmap depth to 32bit fixed the crashes I had the last weeks with rootless but garbled the output. So the goal is to have everything inside the server running at 32bit and let GDI do the colorspace translation from 32 to 16 or 24 bit. @zakki: I've found this in the code if (winIsInternalWMRunning(pScreenInfo)) winAdjustXWindow (pWin, hwnd); winMWExtWMMoveResizeXWindow (pWin, shouldn't that be if (winIsInternalWMRunning(pScreenInfo)) winAdjustXWindow (pWin, hwnd); else winMWExtWMMoveResizeXWindow (pWin, bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 From sebastianhaby@home.se Tue Nov 30 17:15:00 2004 From: sebastianhaby@home.se (Sebastian Haby) Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2004 17:15:00 -0000 Subject: Internal-wm/rootless observations Message-ID: <1101834601.840a77c0sebastianhaby@home.se> Hey Alex!
