It starts ssh sessions and periodically checks them to make sure that they're still passing data-- if they're not, it terminates them and starts a new one. This is often helpful, but maybe not in your case, since you say that other tunnels are still good after the X tunnels fail. I don't know what would cause that. Good luck, Andrew.

There are some tricks (simply to make it work, and to preserve your sanity......all Windows OSs are NOT created equal), so please bear with me while I provide some "color" to my tale..... Now, you may ask why anyone would want to get this combo working on a Macintosh Powerbook G4 running OS/X 10.3.5? You can get X windows for OS/X directly. However, the world is populated by Windows machines, and as a database consultant, I have to access a multitude of client sites "remotely" since travel is not an option for a myriad of reasons. That means you enter the world of VPNs, which are in heavy use today, and getting more common by the minute. And the world of VPNs is dominated by Windows software ( NOT the VPN that you get w/Windows direct from Microsoft, but the proprietary ones like Contivity, Cisco, Avaya, etc). Further VPN's do not "like" to be installed on the same machine as other VPN's ( these things do not "play well" together), so if you are working with 3-4-5 customers and all the associated VPN software is from different vendors...well you can see the problem even if you don't toss in the point that I wanted to use my Mac that I had already paid for with hard earned, cold, unadulterated CASH. That was my original motivation for getting Virtual PC...so one could use the Windows VPN software to access the client sites, by defining "multiple" virtual PCs each with their own software installed for a specific customer, and do it all from (1) laptop..... AND IT WORKS! The next issue came from Oracle Corporation ( remember I make a living as a database consultant). On Unix (Sun, HP, AIX, Linux) the Oracle installer is the "Universal Installer"...ie it is a java based & X-based. Character based telnet installs are not a real option anymore, much to the telecommuter's regret. That means I needed to come up with a means of running remote X-apps, through the client's VPN under Windows, but (in my case solely as a matter of personal preference) on a Macintosh OS/X system. There is now a version of Virtual PC for Windows letting you define multiple Win OS's on the same Intel platform ( I do, in fact, have an older Compaq laptop ), but that means I have to by a newer Intel based laptop with more disk & memory & the Win Virtual PC software, and I didn't want to spend the $$$ there. Enough of the "tedious" background...but you do now have a good feel for the situation.... I looked at several commercial Windows X servers (since I had to use Windows based VPNs) , and all would run under Virtual PC but in true Murphy's form, each had its own "problem" with the Oracle Universal Installer...fonts, missing buttons, etc. The glitches were well documented around the various Oracle www sites, but no real good solutions were available unless you could get a customer to change their X client setup "just for you" ( not a point you really want to ask a paying customer), upgrade their Oracle site-wide ( only a few hundred thousand dollars for that one), or you could find V6 of the 'X' server software (which was now on V12..lotsa luck on that one). Then I came across cygwin/X... Now I like free software in my business, it allows me to spend more money on my hobbies. So I downloaded cygwin/X onto two different Virtual PC setups...one is Windows 2000, the other is Windows 98SE. In the case of the basic cygwin, one has to increase the environment space for storing PATH information, etc. Once that was done, cygwin would come up under both Windows OSs, but it was much slower under Win 2000. Next I needed the X software running. For each Windows OS, I tried startxwin.bat & startxwin.sh. Sorry to say, these were a no go. The "X" showed up in the task bar, but no xterm was generated, and no X app would display. I should not say they never worked, startxwin.bat did work completely (1) time in 5 days of trial and error...but it never repeated. So then I went back an extra step.. to the cygwin admin window and entered.... xinit -- -kb and IT WORKED! It worked on both OSs, but it was much ...much faster in Win 98SE. This was with the VPN running ( my only immediate need is for the Avaya VPN, but I plan to test it with some of the others as well at a later date). After the xterm appeared, I started the Oracle Installer on the remote Sun system using ssh -Y username@host /usr/openwin/bin/xterm and then from the Sun xterm, I could run the Installer ( I could have run it directly from ssh, but after the install you usually have to check some things, so I wanted a xterm window ready, willing, and able), and it displayed back on the Mac WITH NO VISIBLE PROBLEMS. So, cygwin/X now lets me run the Oracle software, displayed back to my existing Mac, without having to purchase either a commercial Windows X server ( around $300), or buy a another laptop ($1,000-2,000). And that is the end of my tale.... ________________________________________________________ Dr. Robert Young WWW: http://www.aliconsultants.com ________________________________________________________ Dr. Robert Young ALI Database Consultants 1151 Williams Dr Aiken SC 29803 USA WWW: http://www.aliconsultants.com Tele: 1-803-648-5931 Toll free in US: 1-866-257-8970 Fax:1-803-641-0345 Email: rcyoung@aliconsultants.com "Source of Rdb Controller, software for database analysis & performance tuning" From kdibbleNOSPAM@alltel.net Fri Sep 3 18:50:00 2004 From: kdibbleNOSPAM@alltel.net (Ken Dibble) Date: Fri, 03 Sep 2004 18:50:00 -0000 Subject: cygwin and startx In-Reply-To: <0BE909ECC1C7804FB2A8D1D14058B61C05E740D1@w2kmnepap792> References: <0BE909ECC1C7804FB2A8D1D14058B61C05E740D1@w2kmnepap792> Message-ID: <4138BCD4.3020804@alltel.net> Start here: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Mamedov, Joel wrote: > I get startx: bash: startx: command not found >message. >I have downloaded and installed a full package. >I can't find startx anywhere in cygwin folders. > > > > > From andrex@alumni.utexas.net Sat Sep 4 06:57:00 2004 From: andrex@alumni.utexas.net (Andrew Schulman) Date: Sat, 04 Sep 2004 06:57:00 -0000 Subject: gtk2-x11-devel is missing gdk/gdkwin32.h Message-ID: I don't know if this file has been deliberately excluded from the package (version 2.4.4-1), but I needed it in order to build LablGtk2.

The record extension is compiled into the Xserver. xdpyinfo gives number of extensions: 24 ... DEC-XTRAP ... RECORD ... XTEST These are the extensions named in the article.

That's a little unclear - most of the instances where a shell is left orphaned seem to be because the SIGHUP doesn't propagate into an su'd process. -- Thomas E.

No, it's a problem with lablgtk2. gdk/gdkwin32.h is only for the Win32 gdktarget; the Cygwin gtk2 packages use X11 and hence use gdk/gdkx.h. For some reason, lablgtk2 assumes that Cygwin uses Win32.

Niether of the above is a DLL -- they're what's called "import libraries" that allow linking with a DLL. The DLL may not even be named "libICE.dll", FWIW (and isn't, in the newer package versions). > Maybe that was changed recently? > Bug? I believe this is a bug in ghostscript-x11 dependencies. The gs executable was linked against an older version of the ICE library, back when it was still provided under the name of libICE.dll. The Cygwin package search page at (which is where you should have gone instead of searching your hard drive, which only works when the package is already installed on your system) shows that libICE.dll is in the XFree86-lib-compat package, and the ghostscript-x11 package should depend on that. It doesn't, so the required package isn't installed automatically. The workaround is to install the package yourself. > 3) > > At this point I'm a little puzzled what to do next. > > - I include /usr/X11R6/lib in my $PATH: > No effect. > - I symlink "ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE-6.dll.a /usr/X11R6/bin/libICE.dll.a": > No effect. As I said above, ".dll" != ".dll.a". Also FYI, symlinks to DLLs don't work in any case, since the Windows dynamic loader doesn't grok Cygwin symlinks. > - I *copy* the damn dll into /usr/X11R6/bin : > No effect.

I believe it shouldn't work on a pristine install, but since I don't use it, I'll let someone else confirm or deny it. I also think that once ghostscript-x11 is made to depend on XFree86-lib-compat, it likely *will* work on a pristine install. You can check all the DLLs that are required for the gs.exe in ghostscript-x11 by running "cygcheck /usr/X11R6/bin/gs.exe".

One of them is a small program from ATI. What about CPU usage? Is XWin taking 100% and nothing happens?

I get a KDE desktop, followed by the splash with all its startups proceeding uneventfully, and then just the blank desktop. The Windows window title reads "Cygwin/X - 0:0" and I can move the pointer over the window.

Tomasz, As observed by Sven, 00xorg-x11-base.sh won't put /usr/X11R6/bin in the front of your PATH if it's already in it somewhere. Specifically, if you have an older or custom /etc/profile that puts /usr/X11R6/bin in the PATH after /usr/bin, ghostscript-x11 won't work properly. There was no need to run the script explicitly -- they are supposed to be run automatically by /etc/profile. However, up until the recent version of the base-files package (3.0-3), you would not have gotten an updated /etc/profile if you already had it on your system. I suggest you follow the advice from the base-files 3.0-* announcement (the "NOTE" in the star box at ) -- *unless* you've made customizations of any of them, remove your /etc/profile, /etc/bash.bashrc, /etc/DIR_COLORS, and everything in /etc/skel, and then reinstall the base-files package.

I am using that feature. I don't recall any reported problems with Cygwin/X per se, but there is a HUGE hyperthreading-related thread on the main Cygwin list -- you might do well to check there. Here's an executive summary for the impatient: unless someone tracks down the problem and fixes it, or donates a hyperthreaded system that exhibits the problem to CGF, this won't get fixed.

However, something occurred to me that you might want to consider. I don't know a whole lot about Virtual PC, but if it really behaves as a stand-alone PC which co-exists on the same LAN as the Host PC (in this case the Mac), it should be entirely possible to set up a simple network route which routes TCP/IP traffic between the VPN endpoint (at the virtual PC side) over to the host Mac. This would allow you to run Apple's X server instead of using Cygwin/X. I'm willing to bet that VPN<->VirtualPC(virtual route)<->Max X-server is going to have better performance than VPN<->VirtualPC(Cygwin/X).

I myself played around with it and found that it can be made to work easily by setting a few simple things within your zonealarm firewall. Cygwin/x must be able to act as a server and must be able to use its default ip addressing. Cygwin/x uses xterm.exe and xwin.exe in order to establish the x-windows server as far as I can tell. Anytime a program tries to access a network, the internet, or act like a server, zonealarm registers that as trying to access the internet, and zonealarm has a whole section of its program that deals with which programs are trying to access the internet. Once a program tries to access the internet, zonealarm makes a entry in a list. This list can be viewed easily through zonealarm. Red colored"X"'s represent programs are are blocked to internet access. Green check-marks are programs that are allowed. Question marks are programs that, if trying to access the internet, will cause a dialogue box to pop up asking you as a user to allow or deny this program access to the internet. ZoneAlarm can be set up to notify you any time a new program tries to access the internet. Once you know which program it is, you can go into the zonealarm program list, find the program, click and hold where question marks, checks, or x's are to change it, and then change it to whatever you want. Usually there are 2 categories to set for each program, access and server. For cygwin/x, the server category can remain blocked. The access category, which has two parts, trusted and internet, must both be set to allow(green check-mark). Afterwards, each program that accesses cygwin/x in order to display must also be allowed. I have mine set up to ask when a program it doesn't know about tries to access the internet. If it happens right after I have tries starting an cygwin/x program, then I know that program is causing the dialogue box from zonealarm. I click on allow, then later go into the zonealarm program list and permanently allow that program access. Then zonealarm will not ask me again about it. As long as you do this, you can run both cygwin/x programs and zonealarm concurrently. I hope this information is useful to someone.

In some cases this irreparably breaks programs that depend on the Winsock, like Cygwin/X. ZoneAlarm 4.5 works fine, but ZoneAlarm 5 doesn't, as far as being able to run X. Other programs work with ZA 5 but not 4.5. Some simply don't work with either.

I don't know if this is the same thing as you guys are discussing but Cygwin works for me with ZoneAlarm 5. Maybe I am missing something. I don't claim to be an expert and I am not a poweruser of Cygwin, so I may not be aware of potential problems ZoneAlarm 5 is causing.

The Windows PC use DHCP via ISP/ADSL (that is no fixed IP to set up). I have disabled the local Zone alarm firewall on Windows, and run a VPN client software locally to connect to/through the remote, corporate firewall router and network using NAT. The Cygwin/X server can be stared locally on Windows using 'startxwin.bat' and also its local X clients like xterm and others can be started. I have enabled XDMPC on the remote SJDS host side. Pinging from Windows to the Solaris and JDS hosts also works ok. But when I try to start Cygwin/X from a 'DOS-prompt' using the following alternative commands: > XWin -query remote_host > XWin -query remote_host -from local_current_IP > XWin -query remote_host -fp tcp/remote_host:7100 -from local_current_IP only the grey, empty X root window is displayed and no dtlogin or gdm login is displayed. It looks like no X connection is established, and after a timeout the X root window is being quitted. As shown below, the XWin log file reports at the bottom: "Fatal server error: XDMCP fatal error: Session failed Session 13 failed for display xxx.xxx.x.xx:0: Cannot open display" I wonder if this can be caused by some X server, host access or user authentization problem? When Cygwin/X is tested locally with 'D:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat', then it is possible to enter 'xhost +'. But I don't know how to combine this with starting X and query gdm login or dtlogin, if it is not possible to put in 'xhost +' in a file? I have not yet created or configured any user authorization file yet. Below is a copy of the content from my D:/cygwin/tmp/XWin.log file IP removed). 1) I hope that someone knows this X connection problem and also can add the steps or tip to try further? 2) An additonal question: 'xstartxwin.bat' open a small X window with small fonts. How and where is it possible to get larger fonts, possibly by using a configuration file for this startup? 3) And how to setup/get the national language (NO) keymap (?????? and ????? keys enter nothing)?

You could try compiling the xserver with special debugging options: get the source from cvs $ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/xorg login CVS password: $ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/xorg co -P -rXORG-6_8_0 xc this will extrat the sources to the directory xc. add this to xc/config/cf/host.def: #define OptimizedCDebugFlags -ggdb3 -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -DCYGDEBUG=YES #define BuildFonts NO #define BuildServersOnly YES run "make World" from the xc directory. you can now start XWin with programs/Xserver/XWin.exe [the options you use normally] -logverbose 10 This should print a logmessage whenever a windows message (including the clipboard messages) is received and some other debugging information. maybe this gives a clue what causes the lockup. > I don't use any fancy run-options.

Any clipboard related errors should vanish if you omit the -clipboard parameter. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 From alexander.gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de Mon Sep 13 14:40:00 2004 From: alexander.gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de (Alexander Gottwald) Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2004 14:40:00 -0000 Subject: cygwin error In-Reply-To: <32945b325c20.325c2032945b@usa.alcatel.com> References: <32945b325c20.325c2032945b@usa.alcatel.com> Message-ID: On Mon, 13 Sep 2004, Ray Percival wrote: > I have installed cygwin on my pc running windows 2000.

I started to try out Cygwin/X to remotely use a Solaris app, however, the app uses 8bpp Pseudocolor visual which is only supported in Cygwin/X when running the windows desktop in 8bpp aswell or fullscreen, ie. the app works just fine in these two cases. However I can't use any of these options and therefor need to get the -emulatepseudo option to work. I've got the option to compile into XWin but my problem still remains, menys and certain areas are fine but parts that are suppose to be white and have lines, rectangles etc.. drawn into them are black. >From what I've worked out from looking at the sources the -emulatepseudo option does setup a 8bpp pseudocolor visual aswell as a normal truecolor visual, but how can i verify that my app draws into the pseudocolor visual, does the app supply the correct visual ID to my Xserver? I've also tried telling XWin to use PseudoColor visual as default visual id by supplying the -cc option. (-cc 0x27 or -cc 27) but it is ignored. One thing i haven't figured out yet is with ShadowGDI, it allocates one screen and one shadow bitmap and blits changes between the shadow and screen bitmap, also I assume that the truecolor visual somehow points to the shadow bitmap, but where does the pseudocolor visual point to? shadow bitmap aswell? why not allocate another 8bpp bitmap DIB(is this possible?) or in system ram? and then do some color conversion and blit between that and screen bitmap? I've got lots of payed time to work on this problem so any pointers / tips from other developers where to start / where the problems are etc... are greatly appreciated.

All drawing and conversion between the visuals should be handled in the shadow layer. The shadow layer provides all the X11 drawing operation and creates a bitmap we can use for copying to screen. I'm nost sure if it is possible to let the shadow layer do all color transformations and use the same shadowbuffer. I remember Harold Hunt told something about using the XRandR extension to emulate the pseudo color visual, but this is currently not an active field. > why not > allocate another 8bpp bitmap DIB(is this possible?) or in system ram? and > then do some color conversion and blit between that and screen bitmap?

Maybe the Xserver is doing the right thing but fails only in a few functions. You told you have output from that window and only a few areas are black? Try starting there. Maybe it's only the line drawing code which has problems. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 From alanh@fairlite.demon.co.uk Tue Sep 14 15:15:00 2004 From: alanh@fairlite.demon.co.uk (Alan Hourihane) Date: Tue, 14 Sep 2004 15:15:00 -0000 Subject: Cygwin/X developement: -EMULATEPSEUDO In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <20040914151555.GQ2560@fairlite.demon.co.uk> On Tue, Sep 14, 2004 at 04:58:45PM +0200, Alexander Gottwald wrote: > On Tue, 14 Sep 2004, Sebastian Haby wrote: > > > I started to try out Cygwin/X to remotely use a Solaris app, however, the > > app uses 8bpp Pseudocolor visual which is only > > supported in Cygwin/X when running the windows desktop in 8bpp aswell or > > fullscreen, ie. the app works just fine in these two cases. > > However I can't use any of these options and therefor need to get the > > -emulatepseudo option to work. > > Unfortunatly there has been no activity in this field for some time and > after Harold left the project there is noone left with sufficient knowledge > of the problem to start again. I can only try to outline my general knowledge > of the xserver internals. I'll try to shed some light on this for you Alexander. Basically the -pseudocolor mode in Cygwin/X doesn't work properly. Harold added it to try and let applications that need pseudocolor to work, but he also knew about the color problems. So it's nothing new that it doesn't work properly. Now, in the CVS in the trunk there are some new files called.... xc/programs/Xserver/fb/fbpseudocolor.[ch] which is meant to add support for pseudocolor emulation, but executing the wrapper function xxSetup(...) with the appropriate arguments. Egbert Eich wrote this code, so he may be able to shed some more light on it's usage pattern, but this is the way to go to fix the support for Cygwin/X. Alan.

You want to use the IP address associated with the far end of the VPN. Figuring out that value isn't always easy. Sometimes you can run "who" at the far end and it will tell you the hostname or IP address it thinks you're connecting from. Also, sometimes the VPN software itself will tell you the far-end IP address if you look at the detailed log as it's bringing up the VPN. _________________________________________________________________ Don??t just search.

If you absolutely cannot figure out what your IP address is at the far-end of the VPN, then you might want to consider running dxpc. The original intent of dcpx was to compress the amount of data transferred between remote X-clients and a local X-server connected via a low-bandwidth connection. However, it has a feature which allows you to setup the connection if you only know the IP address of the machine your connecting to (and don't know the IP address of the machine you're connecting from, which is effectively the case here). I found a pretty good treatment of dcpx here: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=2374 _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?

Hosts --------- I have used C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\Hosts for a long time on a Windows 2000 terminal server. But for some or another reason the Hosts file suddenly is being deleted from the system, and again as soon as I recreate it. I have tried to limit the file access to system administrator only without succeed. And I haven't found out yet if there can be or have been installed some kind of antivirus or spyware program that detects the Hosts file as a virus file and cause that it is being deleted. a) Has someone experienced this before or any idea to solve it? I saw that C:\cygwin\etc\Hosts was a link to the above Hosts file. Because of the above problem, I replaced the link with the real Hosts file itself. Now I try to create a remote connection from a cygwin/X xterm using the following procedure: startxwin.bat xterm X :2 -query remote_hostname The system reports and exit the command in the xterm as follows. "Fatal server error: Xserver: -query unknown host: remote_hostname" b) Doesn't Cygwin/X read this latter Hosts file? 2. X0.hosts ------------ To let queried remote xdm/dtlogin/gdm/kdm get access to the local Cygwin X server, I wonder if the syntax for the content in C:/cygwin/etc/X0.hosts should be "remote_hostname" only or "remote_hostname +", alternatively "remote_host_ip" only or "remote_host_ip +"?

Add a shortcut to startxwin.bat to the Start menu, and customize your own .bash_profile / .bashrc (assuming your shell is bash). If you really want to, you can obviously also edit startxwin.bat. -JT From alexander.gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de Wed Sep 15 09:10:00 2004 From: alexander.gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de (Alexander Gottwald) Date: Wed, 15 Sep 2004 09:10:00 -0000 Subject: Is focus-on-pointer available in multiwindow mode?

Isn't that correct value to use? That's not the correct value for 2 reasons... 1) Because you're using a VPN to access the remote machine, it probably is separated from the rest of the 'net by a firewall. Try logging into the remote machine and pinging the local machine's IP address. Do you get a response? 2) Even if the remote machine could reach the local machine via the DHCP-assigned IP address, doing so would circumvent the VPN (the X traffic would go _around_ the VPN instead of _through_ it). You really need to talk to someone who is knowlegable about your VPN setup to help you figure out the IP address that's associated with the far-end of the VPN tunnel. _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar ?? get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/ From caphenoir@yahoo.com Wed Sep 15 14:56:00 2004 From: caphenoir@yahoo.com (Khoa Nguyen) Date: Wed, 15 Sep 2004 14:56:00 -0000 Subject: cygwin/x and zonealarm firewall Message-ID: <20040915145615.94027.qmail@web53508.mail.yahoo.com> From: "James Merritt" > I am not sure why ZoneAlarm 5 does not work for soem > people.

I'm using xdmcp regularily which prevents local applications to access the screen (becuase only remote access is allowed then).

You don't have to mess with it unless you do some special things. you're problem is most likely - your local host has ip xyz. - the remote host does not know how to connect to xyz since xyz is on another network and only accessible via host pvq. There is no simple solution to get xdmcp working here. That's why I suggested ssh. Installing and starting ssh should be quite simple. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 From nteknikk@monet.no Wed Sep 15 15:41:00 2004 From: nteknikk@monet.no (Terje J.

Yes, we have router/gateway device running a propritary firewall and VPN. Inside that our corporate network use NAT. Though I also have physical access to our router, I'll ask our ISP and router vendor about the setup. But just to clarify first: When you say "figure out the IP address that's associated with the far-end of the VPN tunnel"; you don't mean the iP address of the router itself? Thanks, Terje J.

First off, to get past the initial configure issues, I ran configure on a linux box, and then brought over the entire directory tree to my cygwin box, and hand modified the Makefiles to use the proper cygwin libraries for compiling/linking. That being said, I have had limited success with the port. I can use xtermcontrol to set attributes (--fg, --bg, etc). HOWEVER...... When I try to retrieve the current values, it seems to hang. (--get-fg, --get-bg). The issue seems to be the read statement in tty_read(). They hang, and never see the response coming back. I have tried doing a direct echo "^VESC]13...." to the console, and I can see the response string come back. Does anyone know why the read is hanging, and what needs to be done to correct this issue? I like the idea of this app to change my screen based upon the system I login to (So that I can easily see when I'm logged into a production machine, or a QA machine). Thanks.

I fixed it by creating a ~/.xserverrc and having the following in it: exec X :0 -clipboard In that same directory, there is a startxwin.bat and startxwin.sh, which you could also investigate.

For us, for many months now, X11 hasn't worked after any fresh Cygwin install, due to the "missing font "fixed" problem) - see http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof In fact, our install process now runs setup, runs various commands as per the faq entry above, then re-runs setup and requires the user to re-install the X fonts. After that X will work. On top of that, there were changes to -multiwindow and other parameters. We now default to starting X in a way that boils down to this: xinit -- -rootless -clipboard -logfile /tmp/XWin.log.$USER The .$USER is important if multiple people may use the machine - the default choice of /tmp/XWin.log will make X fail to start because a later user won't have write permissions on /tmp/XWin.log. Anyway, try the above, and check out the contents of the log file to help work out what's going wrong. luke From John.Peters@measurement.gov.au Fri Sep 17 08:28:00 2004 From: John.Peters@measurement.gov.au (Peters, John) Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2004 08:28:00 -0000 Subject: Problem using multiwindow, function keys, and xfig Message-ID: <5AE60AD9CA268C49AC231924D4113193513338@s031pvmail.in.measurement.gov.au> Cygwin and XWin are magnificent, but, running locally under windowsXP: Using -multiwindow, I cannot get function keys to work using xrdb unless -kb is appended to the XWin command line in startxwin.bat.

I have installed Cygwin/X, INCLUDING grace package to set up a Windows Workstation to do molecular modeling & analysis. Cygwin bash shell and XWin.exe are working. For example, I can create a screen by typing in BASH txt 'console' xwin.exe -screens 0 600 600. However when I enter xmgrace, am getting ERROR message "Can't open display - Failed initializing GUI, exiting". Do I need to get "12 mandatory files" (apparently only 11 for Cygwin) from Xfree86 and run installation using sh xinstall OR this will be redundant/conflicting/overlapping to/with what was done by installation of xorg-x11-base & other xorg- packages from Cygwin.com? Before I have tried a commercial X Server (XVision Eclipse) installed after Cygwin w grace, but ERROR persisted. Is ERROR related to a possibility that "something" related to TCP/IP is "taking"/"redirecting" 127.0.0.1.0:0 ? I can try to repeat all installations on another, Windows 2000 Pro PC Workstation, which has never 'seen' any network, Internet, and thus firewalls, etc sources of crap. What is 'the best' way to do so ? Just to repeat a Local Installation of Cygwin/X including grace from downloaded packages ? OR to install first a commercial X Server - then what Cygwin packages besides grace ? I prefer not to deal with source codes and compilations, in a hope that binaries should work. Any other way around ? I found a compact, 'Evgeny's' compilation of grace with all required dlls and other files, including .bat. My understanding is that it may work if I have just an X Server running (and I can have TCP/IP protocol on a standard Windows 2000 Dell Precision, without connecting to any 'private networks' etc sources of kaka possibly conflicting with the display address 127.0.0.1.0:0 - right?), but am not sure I have done everything right with .bat to configure the system properly. I don't understand what Evgeny's "stack running" means. Can anyone redirect me to "Evgeny". SOS...

Yes, because you have to tell grace, like every other X program, which display to use. Try: $ export DISPLAY=:0 and then start xmgrace. > Do I need to get "12 mandatory files" (apparently only 11 for Cygwin) > from Xfree86 and run installation using sh xinstall OR > this will be redundant/conflicting/overlapping to/with what was done by > installation of xorg-x11-base & other xorg- packages from Cygwin.com? > Before I have tried a commercial X Server (XVision Eclipse) installed > after Cygwin w grace, but ERROR persisted. I have no clue what you are talking about, but I can confirm that grace works fine with a commercial X Server (I sometimes use XWin32) for me. But you have to have lesstif and some other libraries, and that means install what setup proposes for you when you select grace. > Is ERROR related to a possibility that "something" related to TCP/IP is > "taking"/"redirecting" 127.0.0.1.0:0 ?

Are you saying that you've applied the FAQ fix (which simply told you to re-mount the fonts directory in binmode) and it worked for you, even though "mount" showed the fonts directory *already* mounted in binmode? BTW, another directory that needs to be binmode-mounted is /tmp, otherwise some X utilities (e.g., xkb, but there are probably others) won't work.

Message-ID: <1095757795.a54099c0sebastianhaby@home.se> Hey fellow developers, Following up my last post regarding pseudocolor emulation and my ideas to fix it, here's an update. I've modified the XWin server and running pseudocolor applications in an XWin window running ontop a 16/32bpp windows desktop is now possible, using shadow gdi rendering, it's however not possible to run both truecolor and pseudocolor apps at the same time. When using the -emulatepseudo flag, XWin now opens a window on the desktop with the same depth as the windows desktop however the shadow DIB that's allocated is 8bpp and only a pseudocolor visual is created. BitBlt() (win32 function) does all the color conversion and the like. I haven't tested this thoroughly with different pseudocolor apps, just the one i had to get working. The ToDo-list mentions "Emulate PseudoColor on TrueColor" this is not what this modification does as it doesn't let you run truecolor apps simultaneously. What i plan to do next, in case of spare time, is to allocate both a 8bpp DIB and a truecolor DIB and point these to their corresponding visuals, let the applications draw to them, then BitBlt() the DIBs to the XWin window (using a different raster-operation code), dunno if this is possible but it's worth a shot. When not supplying the -emulatepseudo flag the server works just like before. Is there any interest to merge my changes into the XWin source-tree? Please supply information on how this can be done.

Well whenever I select in just the terminal from the kde desktop whatever is selected takes over the clipboard until something else is selected. I've tried un-selecting the item (clicking so that the select goes away), copying in windows and such but nothing seems to work. The only way to change what's in the clipboard is to select something else in cygwin, but this then "takes control" of the clipboard and again I cannot copy in windows but I can paste whatever was last selected in cygwin. > >bye > ago > >NP: Decoded Feedback - Bondage >-- > Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de > http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 From johnahebert@yahoo.com Tue Sep 21 16:15:00 2004 From: johnahebert@yahoo.com (John Hebert) Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2004 16:15:00 -0000 Subject: bug? - startxwin.bat missing from recent Cygwin install Message-ID: <20040921161531.69929.qmail@web10705.mail.yahoo.com> Howdy, I installed the latest release of Cygwin, and it doesn't include startxwin.bat.

How would you select which of the already running xservers should be terminated? (There may be more than just one running) Killing all is a little bit dangerous. With terminal clients you might have different users on the same box. If one issues XWin -terminate by accident all other users would suffer.

Maybe the other data is not written properly. Please try XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error from the cygwin bash shell. It will print the log messages to the console.

FWIW, it might be better to add the capability to XWin.exe to be queried about which DISPLAY it's serving (via IPC of some sort). That way, one could write a small routine that iterates over all the XWin processes and sends a signal to the one that's running a given DISPLAY. Or is there already a way for an X client to send a shutdown message to the X server whose DISPLAY it's running on? To the OP: you may be able to quickly kill the correct XWin process by switching to an X window on that display and issuing a Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (if XWin was started with a -unixkill option).

Of course you're right about what it does, but the OP did say: > rather than using ps and checking for pid of XWin and using kill -9 > if u can provide that option from command line it would be gr8 ^^^^ I gave the command line to do just that. I got the impression that the OP wanted to have just one server running at a time. If the intention is to have more than one server running, and to kill the one connected to a specific host, it should be possible to use a script along the following lines: ----------- /usr/local/bin/killx ----------- #!/bin/bash # Usage: killx.sh [remote_host] # if remote_host is specified, kill all XWin processes connected to # remote_host, otherwise, kill all XWin servers started without the # -query option remote_host="$1" if [ -n "$remote_host" ] then # only kill XWin where the command line # contains "-query " for i in `pidof /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin` do cat /proc/$i/cmdline | tr '\000' @ | grep -q "@-query@$remote_host@" && echo kill -9 $i done else # No remote host given, only kill XWin if the # command line does not contain -query for i in `pidof /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin` do cat /proc/$i/cmdline | tr '\000' @ | grep -qv "@-query@" && echo kill -9 $i done fi -------------------------------------------- Note that this is not industrial-strength scripting, just a quick hack. I never use the -query option, so I can't verify that it works as advertised. To avoid damage, I've prefixed the kill commands with echo so that you can verify that it would kill the right process. Once you're satisfied that it would work for you, delete the echo.

It is a quite new security implied change.

This is normal. The CID font directory is set as fontpath but is not installed in X11 for some time now.

I can still use xemacs but I get a segmentation fault when I exit xemacs. xemacs worked fine with older versions of Cygwin (I think my last upgrade was in June) so that the error possibly has nothing to do with xemacs itself but with Cygwin or X11. I use my notebook among others to read e-mail on Solaris (dtmail). Before I upgraded everything was fine. Now I have in the upper dtmail-window (Sender, Subject, Time, ...) just rectangles while I still have normal characters in the text window for the selected mail. That too shows in my opinion that something is wrong with the new X11 environment. "cygcheck -c" displays "OK" for all packages. I've looked up the mailing lists and searched on the web but didn't find anything to solve the problem. I've installed Cygwin on Windows XP (NTFS, c:\cygwin). XP is up-to-date without SP2. I get the following output when I type (everything inluding the first two warnings appears at that time): eiger Admin 1 xemacs Warning: XtRemoveGrab asked to remove a widget not on the list Warning: XtRemoveGrab asked to remove a widget not on the list Fatal error (11).

Please check it first, but do report the crash anyway. Please report this bug by invoking M-x report-emacs-bug, or by selecting `Send Bug Report' from the Help menu.

Locate the core file produced as a result of this crash (often called `core' or `core.', and located in the directory in which you started XEmacs or your home directory), and type gdb /usr/bin/xemacs core then type `where' at the debugger prompt. No GDB on your system? You may have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. (Ask your system administrator if you need help.)

The machine is a dual opteron 248 (2.2ghz) w/ 2gig RAM running Windows XP SP2. When using xterm (w/ bash as my shell) and typing, at random times, the cursor will jump to the beginning of the line. In vi, when I'm in "input mode" and typing, the cursor will randomly jump to the beginning of the document. I have seen it do this when pressing the "h", "a", and backspace keys as part of my typing. I cannot duplicate this problem at will -- it appears to be very random. I'm sure it has happened on other keypresses, but I type too fast to know which key I've hit to cause it. Has anyone ever seen this before? On my old desktop machine, I was running cygwin with XP SP2, so I don't think that is the problem, unless the newer version of cygwin is incompatible with SP2 (I hadn't updated cygwin in awhile on my old desktop machine).

Maybe this is a multithread problem. Can you please try without -clipboard and without -multiwindow switches?

Any idea what's the problem? You shouldn't need to set it explicitly, unless you're running it from a command outside X (e.g. from a DOS prompt), and even then it should only need to be set to ":0.0". You have remembered to actually start X first, haven't you? Experiment by starting X (use "startx" or run xinit directly). Check out /tmp/XWin.log to see if any errors are reported. luke From aroushdi@hotmail.com Fri Sep 24 08:08:00 2004 From: aroushdi@hotmail.com (aroushdi) Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2004 08:08:00 -0000 Subject: problem in scaleable fonts during update Message-ID: Hi everybody , while updating my cygwin to the latest level i get the following message : title:mkfontscale.exe Entry point Not Found body : The procedure entry point FT_Get_BDF_Property could not be located in the dynamic link library cygfreetype-6.dll attatche is the image of the message. thks for the help -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

But you specified -multiwindow, meaning you will be using MS-Windows itself as window manager. So startx should not start any WM of its own.

Yes, it had solved both the problem of "Bad system call" and also of inability to start window manager in nested server. Surprisingly enough, if I start nested server in full display mode (i.e. -geometry 1024X768+0+0) application panel will not appear for whatever reasons, though.

If you run multiple xserver on a PC, then the solaris systems are *clients*, not servers, as far as the X protocol is concerned. I can guess from all your posts that you want each xserver to be the display for a window and desktop manager running on a particular solaris machine. You may find me nitpicky, but you're more likely to get help in the future if you avoid vague terms like 'server' and 'connect'. HaND, -- Michel Bardiaux Peaktime Belgium S.A.

So there is a bug either in the way cygwin handles 16-bits visuals, or in the way *some* component of CDE handles 16-bits TrueColor visuals.

I'm not at all competent for this. (2) In 16 bits, either CDE or CYGWIN/X behaves badly when transmitting an image. Vijay, note that the text "Starting..." displayed correctly on 16-bits, so I am pretty sure the broken text was actually image). (3) In 24 bits, colors wrong.

Thanks for your statement. What does "rebaseall"? I never heared of it, but I found it under /usr/bin/. Do you think it can remove the reason for the xemacs exit crash?

I've just tried "rebaseall" without options and I get the following message after a few seconds: ReBaseImage (/usr/bin/cygexpat-0.dll) failed with last errror = 6 xemacs hasn't changed its behaviour and still reports segmentation fault.

Since we have white becoming yellow, I suspect CDE gets confused by the pixmap depth=32/bpp=32 and sends the 4th (padding) byte first when it should be last, or something like that.

I'll see if recompiling that helps (tomorrow though). Most likely this is because of missing fonts. Some Solris tools do not check if the queried font was found, they simply assume it is there and run into a null pointer. Check the FAQ about Solaris and fonts. The method of setting the font path does apply to this condition too. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 From Benjamin.Riefenstahl@epost.de Mon Sep 27 15:30:00 2004 From: Benjamin.Riefenstahl@epost.de (Benjamin Riefenstahl) Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2004 15:30:00 -0000 Subject: Unable to open the display In-Reply-To: (Alex Vinokur's message of "Mon, 27 Sep 2004 10:00:58 +0200") References: Message-ID: Hi Alex, "Alex Vinokur" writes: > $ /usr/X11R6/bin/gs foo.tex > GNU Ghostscript 7.05 (2002-04-22) > Copyright (C) 2002 artofcode LLC, Benicia, CA.

It's like expecting gs to understand the following C program: #include int main(int ac, char *av[]) { printf("%s", "%!PS-Adobe-2.0\n" "%%Pages: 1\n" "%%PageOrder: Ascend\n" "%%BoundingBox: 0 0 596 842\n" "%%EndComments\n" "%%Page: 1 1\n" "showpage\n" "%%EOF\n"); } (which, BTW, will produce one possible empty PostScript file). A .tex file is essentially a *program* (well, a set of Turing-complete markup macros) that you need to run through a compiler to get a document out. The "tex" executable is such a compiler (or the "latex" executable if you use the LaTeX set of macros). Either of those will produce a .dvi file, which you need to convert to .ps with the help of the "dvips" executable. Only when this conversion is done can you view the resulting .ps file. All of the above, BTW, is right there in black and white in the TeX FAQ: . Furthermore, the Cygwin/X list is definitely the wrong place to discuss this (and so is the main Cygwin list, as this is in no way whatsoever related to Cygwin). The correct, if terse, response to the error above would be "this is expected behavior, period". If you have further questions about TeX/LaTeX, please see . If you have specific problems with the Cygwin version of TeX/LaTeX (i.e., problems that you can't reproduce on a Linux system, or using a MiKTeX distribution), please feel free to ask on the main Cygwin list.

I replaced them in an all-up-to-date Cygwin installation with the old 2004-02-02 releases and the exit crash did not occur any more. On the other hand I had a propery running Cygwin installation from end june 2004 on my notebook PC (XP Pro, SP2). I upgraded only the two sumo packages to 2004-08-18 and xemacs crashed on exit. So, please: Can anybody of the experts here tell me, whether this is a bug of the 2004-08-18 releases? If it is not, how can I make it work properly? Is "rebase" the tool that helps? If yes, how should I apply it in order to avoid any risk for my Cygwin installation? Thanks a lot for any answer.

Well, I have also installed the latest 2 sumos. XEmacs is not crashing for me. But hey, it could of course depend on the special lisp packages you're using from the sumos.

We currently use X so that Windows users can run apps (typically written with Perl/GTk) on Linux application servers. The deployment is going not bad, but on a couple of systems we're seeing strange corruption of windows: if an X window gets obscured by another X window, then raised to the top, the obscured part doesn't get redrawn. The window's frame gets redrawn but the contents do not. This does not appear to be happen if a non X window obscures the X window. We are running the latest version of the Cygwin X.org server. The systems were all bought from Dell around the same time, so they are all substantially the same. Both systems have "GeForce 256" cards with driver version 5.2.1.6; they're both running Win2k and are completely up-to-date with patches. One system is working, one is not. I've tried playing with various combinations of the +/-bs, -su, -wm and -engine parameters to XWin, but to no avail.

Establish remote connection using ssh inside an xterm running under Cygwin/X. 2. Hold down a key ("bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb") and let go ("bbbbbbbbb"). Way too many letters get buffered, because there's some sort of delay in transmitting the keypresses. 3. Disable Symantec Antivirus Auto-Protect (via systray applet). 4. Do the keypress test again, and there's no delay. 5. Enable Symantec Antivirus Auto-Protect 6. Do the keypress test again, and the delay is back. Is anyone else running Symantec Antivirus?

I'm sorry, but I don't know how to find out this. But maybe the following will be an answer to your question: I start xemacs from bash/xterm command line with "xemacs filename.c &", xemacs starts up properly. Then I type , the xemacs window closes and the error messages occur in the xterm window. I do not have any customizations or anything else configured in xemacs. I'm running it just as installed (in a complete Cygwin installation including all currently (27.09.) available packages). > rebasing has definitely nothing to do > with the sumo packages, but with the > dll's XEmacs is using. For me the crashing behavior comes with installation of 2004-08-18 sumo packages and goes with installation of 2004-02-02. So, your statement tells me, that rebase will not be the tool to remove the exit crash problem. Do you agree? Thank you for your answer.

Phew, thats pretty tough. Are there differences in installed programs? TweakUI or similar might be candidates which change expected windows behaviour. If such programs are installed, please check if the settings of the programs differ. If this does not give any clues there is the possibility to compile XWin with massive debugging output. It will print which windows messages are received and how they are processed.

Up until today, I have been troubleshooting this problem over the phone, and the people who were explaining it to me did not do a really good job. Today I got into the office to see it for myself. The problem was that the stacking order of the child windows was not getting changed, so when the window appeared to get raised, the child window was not being raised, so the window that used to be on top remained on top. I investigated it a little further and determined that the internal window manager was unable to connect to the X server over the unix socket. All the other clients were connecting over the TCP socket with no problem. When the internal window manager can't connect to the X server, it can't manage the X windows. So, we ended up with the wierdness we saw - the window frame, title bar, etc. would get drawn correctly (because they are probably not drawn by the X server), but the child windows that were being managed would not be raised and lowered correctly, making it look like the windows weren't being updated. I fixed our startup scripts to ensure that proper .Xauthority files would get generated and it has solved the problem. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

For instance, if you put the following in a Windows shortcut, it will use rsh to launch "xclient" on "remotehost" and redirect it back to the XWin server on "localhost" (of course, you'll want to make sure you've started XWin before running this shortcut): C:\cygwin\bin\rsh.exe remotehost "xclient -display localhost:0" Also, this assumes you've set up rsh properly (consult "man rsh" on remotehost for guidance). If you want to eliminate the empty command-prompt window that results from the above shortcut, use run.exe thus: C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe /bin/rsh remotehost "xclient -display localhost:0" However, in order for this to work, you'll have to add C:\cygwin\bin to your Windows path, otherwise it'll complain that it can't find "cygwin1.dll'. [Alternatively, you can just copy "run.exe" from c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin to c:\cygwin\bin] _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?

I added the entire c:\cygwin\ tree to the Symantec exclusion list, but the slowdown is still there. There's also no difference if you disable network drive scanning, or something called Threat Tracer (the purpose of TT is "Identify the source of network share-based virus infections on computers that are running Windows NT/2000/XP operating systems.") This really sucks. I don't want to run without antivirus protection, but the delay is really irritating. Is anybody using Symantec Antivirus and NOT seeing a delay? If so, what version of SA are you using? I have "full version 9.0.0.1400", scan engine 1.2.0.13.
