I see this on Linux a lot as well, which leads me to believe that this is a problem unique to SSH across all supported platforms, Cygwin included. SSH won't exit until (and unless) every process started by it, local and remote, exits. Since I use remote X sessions via SSH, this especially manifests for me when I exit the session: stubborn processes have to be killed, which is done by Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to force-quit the X server, after which SSH exits cleanly. When you say you run a simple bash shell window, does that mean it launches in a MS-DOS Prompt environment? If so, when you close the window, Windows kills the session (cygwin) which also kills its processes (bash and ssh) as part of closing down the emulated environment. Running bash in an xterm makes ssh ultimately a descendant of the X server within the cygwin environment. SSH won't quit until either all of its child processes exit or the SSH process itself is killed. It's stubborn like that. If I'm wrong, please feel free to set me right. -ArielMT (who's been -way- too occupied with work to reply sooner) On Tue, 06 Sep 2005 16:36:40 -0400 Derek Price wrote: > When I launch ssh sessions from xterms and exit them via the command > line, the processes go away, but if I just kill the xterm window an > ssh was launched from via a mouse click, the ssh.exe hangs around > taking up system resources until I kill it via the task manager, if I > can figure out which ssh.exes are the zombies. > > The same problem *does not* occur from a simple bash shell window > (launched via C:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -i).

Cygwin/X uses the X11 server for all GUI displays. X11 is a network-aware display server and uses network connections for all communication between the display/input devices and the client applications. This is what allows a GUI program running on one PC to take all of its input from and display all of its output to another PC. It's no different when both the GUI and programs are running on the same PC. X11 just opens a network connection to itself using the loopback interface (lo on most systems), and that's what ZA and other Windows firewall programs trip on. Basically, everything X11-related should be allowed not only to connect to 127.0.0.1 without restrictions, they should also be allowed to act as servers listening on 127.0.0.1. Without that, Cygwin/X will be degraded at best, and unable to work at all at worst. -ArielMT On Tue, 27 Sep 2005 06:30:30 +0100 Herbert Eppel wrote: > On 27.09.2005 06:18 UK Time, Jack Tanner wrote: > > Herbert Eppel wrote: > > > >> No doubt this is a very basic question, and I'm not sure whether it > >is > really a question for this group or whether I should direct it > >to the > authors and/or user group of the ESP-r software, but I > >wonder whether > someone could shed some light on why Cygwin/X (or > >perhaps it is just > the individual components of the ESP-r software > >I am running?) > triggers ZoneAlarm access permission alerts and > >generates constant > internet traffic (or perhaps only 'trusted > >zone' traffic?) as > indicated by ZoneAlarm? > > > > > > Chances are that you're seeing Cygwin/X connect to itself via TCP. > > This is normal. > > Hi Jack, > > thanks for your reply.

When I use Cygwin/X 1.5.18 to run the Oracle Developer 9.0.4.2 on Red Hat 3.0, I'm don't see the verdana font in the field property sheets.

If I run ncdsoft PC-Xware, I see verdana in the list of 100 fonts beginning with "@arial unicode ms" and ending with "vtspecl_normal". Here's what I tried: 1) Expose the Windows fonts to Cygwin on the PC. I copied the windows/font directory to the Cygwin home and ran mkfontscale, but fonts.scale ends up with only a zero in it. 2) Point Cygwin at the fonts server running on the host. I verified that xfs was running on the server on port 7100. From the PC, I ran Xwin.exe -query {host} -fp {host:7100), and also xset fp+ host:7100. Neither command worked.

Did you let it run long enough? Looks like it's trying to fork, and the DLLs are being loaded. Does the CPU show any activity during the "hang"? Does the disk? Try running it under strace to see if it's really a hang, a busy loop, etc. If you get any output at all during the "hang", XWin is probably doing something useful. > but than the logon screen of the linuxserver appears in the > Cygwin/X-Window and i am able to login.

Yes. XWin forks to be able to spawn off a process (in this case, xterm). You have killed the forked child, thus XWin is not able to create the xterm process. Don't do that.

I also tried to tunnel X after this $ ssh -f -n -Y 172.16.2.55 xterm but I have exactly the same behaviour as above. Note that ssh still outputs the message "Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding." I had this message already before using xauth, and the tunnel works exactly the same. I get the feeling that I do this wrong. From "man Xsecurity" I get the impression I should pass -auth to the X server, but there is no such option documented for Xwin. I've seen some emails from other people that they cannot get this to work. Hopefully somebody on this list knows better... Many thanks!

It probably is a Cygwin/X bug -- I've heard it mentioned before. I don't think there is a fix, but there *is* a workaround -- the X menu (which you get by right-clicking on the X icon in the system tray) should have a "Show Cursor" item, which will make the cursor reappear.

I've done 'mkdir > C:/cygwin/cygdrive/h', but the error persists. How do I get these > messages to go away? First, this is a general Cygwin issue, and has nothing to do with Cygwin/X. I'm redirecting this reply to the main Cygwin list -- please remove from further discussion. Note that the cygwin-xfree list adds an extra Reply-To, so you'll have to manually remove it if you get this message via that list. Whenever you first run the Cygwin shell as a new user, some skeleton files are copied into your home directory automatically. The home directory (or $HOME in Unix-speak) is determined according to the rules described at . /cygdrive is a virtual directory, which is the parent directory for all Windows drive letters. IOW, even though "/" is "C:/cygwin", "/cygdrive/h" is NOT "C:/cygwin/cygdrive/h", it's "H:/". For some reason, Cygwin thinks your $HOME is /cygdrive/h (or "H:\"). If you do have the HOME environment variable set in Windows, that could explain your problem. If you don't have the "H:" drive, simply unset the HOME variable in the Windows environment -- it'll be set appropriately by Cygwin. If you do have the "H:" drive occasionally (e.g., it's a network drive), and some other program needs this setting of the HOME environment variable, you can edit /cygwin.bat to unset HOME before starting the Cygwin shell.

I am running cygwin-xfree under Windows 2000 on a laptop. I start Xwin using -multiwindow. If I then start an xterm with "xterm -geom -0-0", part of the xterm is off the screen since, apparently, the positioning does not take account of the decorations added by Windows, i.e. the xterm + decorations is positioned by the top left corner as if there were no decorations (with the result that the bottom right corner is off the screen). It seems to me that this is a bug, since with fvwm on a standard linux box, the above command keeps the whole xterm on the screen. Thanks. -- Stephen Address: Dr S.J.

Ours is running on a Sun Solaris system. I can get it working all except the pseudo colors. The Sun box runs an app called 'blinktask' that flips the first 70 or so of the 256 colors to get a flashing color effect for alarms. Does anyone know where or if there is a translation table for the colors between pseudo and true colors? I tried playing with the colors in RGB.TXT with no luck. They did not seem to affect the foxboro screen even though they did change the colors on the local term screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Umm... reality check: 1) How many of our BDs actually work for Red Hat anymore? 2) Is GNUPro even a product anymore? The only date I could find related to the product mentioned "GNUPro 2001": http://www.redhat.com/software/gnupro/technical/gnupro_gdb.html 3) If Red Hat isn't updating any product that uses Cygwin to provide a product on Windows, then why are we holding onto this idea that we must continue to support something that was once sold? 4) If Red Hat is updating GNUPro, but doing a piss-poor job of telling people about it, then what are we? Red Hat's underground GNUPro development team? Look, it has been made quite clear to us on several occasions that Red Hat doesn't pay for anyone in their company to do development on Cygwin, so I say, "Who is Red Hat?". Why do they matter if they aren't contributing to the project and are either holding us hostage to supporting some long-gone product or secretly using our efforts to sell a couple million a year of some product that uses our work? Why do we kowtow to Red Hat when they appear to have abandoned the project, except possibly for some sales that benefit only them? This just doesn't make any sense to me. How many people feel the same way when this argument about supporting Insight via Win32 Tk comes up? I don't mean to be insulting and I'm not implying that I would do anything to overturn or route-around these decisions (since I really don't care about Tk and haven't got the time for a fight), but I would just like to know how Red Hat gets to make decisions in this community that seems to get very little investment from them.

Red Hat's underground GNUPro > development team? I guess I can let this go uncommented. I have no idea how the marketing in relation to GnuPro works. That's not my business, so I can't tell anything about it. The layout of the Cygwin distro is not exactly something important to the way GnuPro works, however. Tcl/Tk is shipped with the Cygwin based GnuPro toolchains, so where it is in the distro is free for discussion. But, apart from GnuPro, I don't think it's such a good idea to move the Windows-based Tcl/Tk DLLs out of /usr/bin without having a clear idea how the replacement should work for the Windows-based apps like Insight. Even better, I don't think the DLLs should be moved somewhere else at all. The POSIX-based DLLs should follow the Cygwin naming convention anyway, so they would have to be named cygtcl8.4.dll/cygtk8.4.dll (or whatever the version number is right now). They don't collide with the Win-based ones, so what? As for the other stuff (includes, libs, /usr/share/tk8.4, etc), I think this would be ok to be moved to /opt or /usr/lib/win or something. However, how to handle the tcltk package and as a result, the GDB package, is up to Chris, he's the maintainer after all, not I or Red Hat.

What i can see, is that calling or running the shell causes the problems in my case. XWin is coming up and running fine, i get the logon screen of the remote server and everything seems to be fine. But if i try to open an xterm on the remote server, XWin seems to hang, no grafical update, nothing happens (with enough patience you can watch this going on forever). When i kill the second XWin.exe suddenly the xterm appears and everything is working fine again, except for the heavy cpu-load, which was not present in my former installation. Summarizing this together with the problems running sh.exe during setup i think that some internal action during the invocation of the shell process might cause the problem. I don't really know the details because i didn't examine the source code. But to me it doesn't look like a failure of the xserver or client window itself but like a problem of one type of process (invoking the shell) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/ From chris@areti.co.uk Tue Oct 11 08:43:00 2005 From: chris@areti.co.uk (Chris Green) Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2005 08:43:00 -0000 Subject: XDMCP issues In-Reply-To: <18959.1129018254@www68.gmx.net> References: <18959.1129018254@www68.gmx.net> Message-ID: <20051011084309.GB29692@areti.co.uk> On Tue, Oct 11, 2005 at 10:10:54AM +0200, Loic Domaigne wrote: > Hello everybody, > > I'm trying to get a remote Linux/KDE desktop from my XP box using cygwin. > Following the FAQ and various posts, I have proceeded as follows: > > 1) I made sure that XDMCP is enable on the linux box. > > 2) In a cygwin shell, I started XWin.exe: > $ XWin.exe -query linux_box -from my_XP_box > > 3) I got a X-window with grey shading, but no kde logging session. > > 4) After a while, I obtained the error message: > Fatal server error: > XDMCP fatal error: Session failed Session 329792025 failed for display > my_XP_box:0: cannot open display > > > Does have someone an idea what's going wrong? > It sounds almost like a permissions/security problem, i.e. your XP box won't *allow* a remote XDMCP to open the display.

It seems to be caused by the /etc/profile script blindly adding directories to PATH, MANPATH and INFOPATH. In startxwin.sh, the xterm is started with this: xterm -e /usr/bin/bash -l & When you run the following command in that xterm window, notice the duplicate directories at the start of the INFOPATH, MANPATH and PATH variables: set | grep PATH Is this a Cygwin-X problem, or is this a base Cygwin problem? I'll gladly report it over on the regular Cygwin list if needed. Regards, Peter __________________________________ Yahoo!

If I made a plot using Tekplot, and moved the plot window around when it initially had the MS-Windows frame around it, then the window would redraw once.

You must forgive me. I've been off and haven't had to think for a couple of days... :-) You are correct. I am using startx, which calls xinit. I'm not sure what happens from that point.

Well, granted that cgf (current maintainer of tk and insight IIRC) no longer works for Red Hat, so perhaps their needs are no longer as important to him as they once were. OTOH, *personally*, I don't want the debugger to require X, for speed issues if nothing else.

I *said* it was speculation, and *speculated* that "pressure" might be applied -- not that decisions would be imposed -- by RH. Given Corinna's post, it seems that my speculation was (A) wrong (B) out-of-date, and (C) in all other ways immaterial. So we can drop the "WWRHD?" (What Would Red Hat Do?) from this thread, and move on to "what is the best(*) thing for the cygwin open-source community" in this regard? (*) where the definition of "best" is in the eye of the beholder: least disruptive? Most theoretically self-consistent?

I'm currently seeing some strange behavior. I start X windows by using the "startx" command, which pops up an Xterm. From there, I usually might use another xterm or two to ssh into different boxes, and I might pop up an emacs window or two while I'm working. I'm seeing strange behavior on my new laptop (14 days or so): When I use multiple windows and they overlap, they look like they're transparent and interfere with each other. Also, when I want to type in a window, I must make sure my mouse is in that window. I know this behavior wasn't always like this, and I don't know if it's from changing laptops or dual booting my current one. I'm open to any and all advice.

But perhaps it's better to come at this from the other direction. If you can provide a small test case/script that reproduces the problem for you, then others on the list could verify whether or not they see the same problem. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

Using my former installation of cygwin from that point on everything happend without problems. I used Cygwin/X-window as the local display server for the remote applications on our linux-server. And this changed with the update of the local cygwin installation: What is now happening is also described in the former postings: the Cygwin/X-window opens and freezes just upon opening, so you can see only the frame of the window, but not the inside, which doesn't change even with much much patience. So, when i kill the second XWin.exe (which appears out of nowhere, i didn't call it!) in the task manager, the inside of the Cygwin/X-window fills as it should be: the login screen of our linux-server appears and everything is running fine, as if nothing unusal happened. I can login and open applications on the remote server sending their output to the Cygwin/X-window as it should be. But every time i start an xterm the Cygwin/X-window freezes again, without showing the xterm, and this doesn't change even with much patience. So after killing the second XWin.exe, which seemingly was started by the call of the xterm, the Cygwin/X-window behaves as usual: xterm window appears and Cygwin/X-window is fully functional (.. until the next call of xterm). But i also encounter problems running cygwins setup.exe: when it comes to the postinstalls, setup also hangs, because the envoced shells freeze on starting. So i think, the real problem is the way shells are started in the actual version of cygwin. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/ From tomerkon@013.net Thu Oct 13 20:25:00 2005 From: tomerkon@013.net (Tomer-Home) Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 20:25:00 -0000 Subject: x window managers In-Reply-To: <4349E29A.6030709@peppermint.jp> Message-ID: <0IOB00APDFSCXGO0@mtaout1.barak.net.il> Yes!

Cygwin/X's "-rootless" mode hides screen area where isn't used, and it make easy to access other windows application. Xwinwm requires "-mwextwm" mode that creates Windows window for each X window.

Consecutive invocation of xp apps frames would graduate in coordinates left to right top to bottom, unless the coords are fixated by the app. A point to prove - that to start cygwin/x on monitor #2, we would have to specify that coordinate to cygwin/x, but neither of us know of any argument startxwin would take to allow coordinate specification. Since I do not know of such an argument to startxwin (or its other associated methods of starting), I specify -scrollbars. Somehow, scrollbars option allows me to move cywin frame around the XP display area. Therefore, I move the cygwin frame to an area what we would term as monitor #2. Since my "monitor #2" area is larger than my "monitor #1", specifying scrollbars has the additional benefit of allowing cygwin to start larger than the display area of "monitor #1". I know of no better way than this to provide for my want (and desire) to have cygwin frame sit on monitor #2: run XWin -screen 0 1900 1400 -multiplemonitors -emulate3buttons -scrollbars -clipboard -silent-dup-error Could someone explain how to make the "@2" method work to avert my current kluge to display cygwin on "monitor #2".

The Firefox configure file ends up hardcoding cl if it detects a windows platform. You have to export CC/CXX/CPP variables to override cl.

Two ways. One is , but that requires an active maiintainer, who is subscribed to the cygwin-apps list. The other is providing a custom mirror with just that package, and having the users download it unofficially (look at the "setup.exe homepage" link on the above page). If you choose to go with the first approach, you'll need to ITP the package(s) on cygwin-apps.

It is like this that when I disable the GUI portion from my project my project builds very fine and executable works fine also but when I want to enable the GUI portion also there are a few errors. 1) Portion for enabling or disabling GUI is like #define NO_GRAPHICS /* comment or uncomment this line*/ --line 1 #ifndef NO_GRAPHICS #include #include //#include //----line---2 #include #endif Here if I comment line line 1 it first gives the compilation error itself for not being able to find Xos.h Query #1 So first thing I want to know is why Xos.h is not available with g++ for Windows and or what is the alternative for that. However If i comment this line 2 there comes a linker errror with a lot of messages..........but all similar to undefined reference to XSetFont undefined reference to XCreateWindow basically all related to XWindow APIs..but all of them have been declared as extern in other include files of X11 folder. So my second query is how can i specify my lib include directory in cygwin through windows i.e. with which option -ldirectory or what. when i speciifed -ldirectory d:\cygwin....\lib it says that it can not find the path ........ so what is equivalent in terms of /usr/lib ..or like .....what .... those interested my makefiles ......here is partial but only useful section .......... $$$$$$$$$$$$$makefile CC = gcc #SunOS lines below. #LIB_DIR = -L/usr/lib/X11R5 #LIB = -static -lX11 -lm #X11_INCLUDE = -I/usr/include # On many non-Solaris machines, use LIB_DIR = -L/usr/lib/X11R5 LIB_DIR = -L/usr/openwin/lib # Sometimes get errors under Solaris if you don't use the -R option # to (I think) put info about where the shared object libraries are # right into the binary.

I uninstalled the Fritz software and installed agnitum firewall, now Cygwin/X is running fine. In parallel i contacted AVM (the vendor of Fritz software) and informed them of the malfunction.

I run startxwin.bat (as a shortcut from my desktop) and, from the cygwin terminal window I then jump to wherever I need to.

Does anyone know if it is possible (and in case how to do it) ? I also noticed that for some graphical programs (like PAW, for example, the physics analysis workstatio developed at CERN), when an xterm window is overlapped to the graphics window, the part of the plot that is covered by the xterm is cancelled and when I focus back to the graphic window (by clicking on it) my plot is partially deleted. Any idea why this happens ? Many thanks for any help/suggestion !

After terminating cygwin/x when it locks up under such a situation, wmaker session would still be displayed on XP process list, along with rsh sessions I've had. The wmaker session cannot be killed, either by XP Task Mgr or MS Giant AntiSpy. I would have to reboot the laptop. No, I could not even reboot because XP could not kill wmaker. I had to press the power button. On restart of cygwin/x, a new set of wmaker is started, but is not effective as evidenced by all x application windows piling up at the top left corner of cygwin/x window. -----Original Message----- From: cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com]On Behalf Of jason cafarelli Sent: Tue, October 25, 2005 2:30 PM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: CYGWIN/X11 CRASHES ON BOOT UP - i am not running zone alarm or any other firewall o.O Hellos, I've noticed that if my wireless configuration is changed by a external program (aka a wireless profile utlility), The cygwin/X server locks up.

This test version was built from the mainline X.Org trunk code and not the CYGWIN branch. I'll be working on getting whatever changes exist on that branch over into the mainline trunk code next.

Sorry, I think I may have misunderstood what you were trying to do. Looks like you do "su sabine" on the *remote* machine -- I thought you tried this locally. By default, X (in XDMCP mode) limits the connections to the user logged in via XDMCP from the target machine. If you want other users to connect (whether those from the X server machine, or those from the XDMCP target machine), you'll need to add them to the access list with the xhost command. You may need to specify the host to add in the form that xhost understands (i.e., the full machine name instead of "localhost"). See the "xhost" manpage for details. The xhost command needs to be invoked by the user who has control over the X server (e.g., from the remote xterm).

Thanks, Alan. It seems that DPS support is being phased out, so nevermind about that. However, I have noticed another issue which may (or may not) be solved on the branch. It seems that xcursorgen and the default cursor sets were not built and included this time around. Other then that, the new X seems to be working fine. On a side note, once the dust settles and if you have time to look into it, perhaps it would be possible to make static libraries available in addtion to the shared libraries? Just a thought.

Download source package from http://gtkpod.sourceforge.net and make sure you have header files and export library of libid3tag.

Build $ cd gtkpod-${version} $ CFLAGS="-O2 -L/usr/local/include" LIBS="-I/usr/local/lib" ./configure I am not sure exactly what step 3 is asking for, but I edited the file so that the line with 'gtkpod_LDFLAGS' looks like the following: gtkpod_LDFLAGS= -export-all-symbols I was unsure as to whether or not I should have used single or double quotes or even any quotes at all.

And if you want AAC support, you need to build libmp4v2 (source package available from http://mpeg4ip.sourceforge.net) 2. Unpack $ tar zxvf gtkpod-${version}.tar.gz 3. Patch For version greater than 0.93, you need to edit src/Makefile.in and add '-export-all-symbols' to 'gtkpod_LDFLAGS'. 4. Build $ cd gtkpod-${version} $ CFLAGS="-O2 -L/usr/local/include" LIBS="-I/usr/local/lib" ./configure I am not sure exactly what step 3 is asking for, but I edited the file so that the line with 'gtkpod_LDFLAGS' looks like the following: gtkpod_LDFLAGS= -export-all-symbols I was unsure as to whether or not I should have used single or double quotes or even any quotes at all.
