As this message indicates, it seems that at one point, openGL did seem to work properly with openGL . To demonstrate that, I restored an earlier version of cygwin I had backed up with which I successfully ran, remotely, a TCL/TK application that employs openGL. I have attached cygcheck files from the cygwin setups where openGL functions properly; the cygcheck output where openGL fails (openGL_malfunctions.txt) is in the following message. Interestingly, both setups use the same version of openGL (version 1.1.0-7), but there are differences elsewhere in the build. Can anyone infer from these data the reason why TCL/TK bombs with the more recent cygwin build? Thanx in advance for your help.

XWin stalled after that line means the tool for creating the keyboard description is stalled. ZA does cause this, maybe other issues too ( a textmode mounted /tmp maybe) You might disable the XKB feature at all with the -kb option but you'd have to set the UK keyboard description with xmodmap. You could also try to kill the xkbcomp process which should show up in the task list. bye ago NP: Die Krupps - Doppelgaenger -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 From atrc_102@yahoo.com Mon Jan 3 03:49:00 2005 From: atrc_102@yahoo.com (atrc_102@yahoo.com) Date: Mon, 03 Jan 2005 03:49:00 -0000 Subject: Get better software for your organization.

But... the GTK/Gnome/XFCE contribution ports to the CygWin X do not appear to be very publicized/documented/supported. I'd like to have more clarity about where packages are stored (i.e. the URLs tio be added in CygWin setup.exe), how to install them, which packages need to be installed to make what, and why I got some bugs/errors, I mean, gconfd seems to have problems and it writes lots of errors in the Windows Event Log like this: Error setting value for `/apps/gtranslator/informations/last_run_on': Unable to store a value at key '/apps/gtranslator/informations/last_run_on', as the configuration server has no writable databases. There are some common causes of this problem: 1) your configuration path file /etc/gconf/2/path doesn't contain any databases or wasn't found 2) somehow we mistakenly created two gconfd processes 3) your operating system is misconfigured so NFS file locking doesn't work in your home directory or 4) your NFS client machine crashed and didn't properly notify the server on reboot that file locks should be dropped. If you have two gconfd processes (or had two at the time the second was launched), logging out, killing all copies of gconfd, and logging back in may help. If you have stale locks, remove ~/.gconf*/*lock. Perhaps the problem is that you attempted to use GConf from two machines at once, and ORBit still has its default configuration that prevents remote CORBA connections - put "ORBIIOPIPv4=1" in /etc/orbitrc. As always, check the user.* syslog for details on problems gconfd encountered. There can only be one gconfd per home directory, and it must own a lockfile in ~/.gconfd and also lockfiles in individual storage locations such as ~/.gconf.

Ruzicka) Date: Tue, 04 Jan 2005 10:50:00 -0000 Subject: Problem displaying openGL graphics in latest cygwin build Message-ID: <004201c4f24b$827ebef0$7445a443@Gene> The most recent cygwin build seems unable to display openGL-based graphics from a remote host running Solaris onto my PC. This problem has so far been apparent in two applications: one is Fieldview, a well-known code for displaying CFD data, and the other is a graphics application driven by a TCL/TK script that employs the code togl.c to link with openGL. In the latter application, togl.c produces the following error message: Togl: couldn't get visual while executing "togl $dw -width $wwidth -height $wheight -rgba true -double true -depth true -ident Box2 -overlay true" It seems that including the cygcheck output in this message makes this message too large for the cygwin mailing list server, so I posted it here: http://home.comcast.net/~gcruzicka/openGL_malfunctions.txt I have been able to fix the problem by restoring an earlier cygwin build from one of my personal backup disks. The cygcheck output for that build is posted here: http://home.comcast.net/~gcruzicka/openGL_functions.txt . Note that both the functioning and malfunctioning builds employ the latest version of openGL. Has anyone else encountered a problem like this? Should this be reported as a bug?

I mean sends some event in, xev dumps something :P Current status is: keyhook dos not work properly in multiwindow mode and does only work for alt-tab. I'm not sure why the windows keys are disabled but I think it is because of a problem with proper integeration into the modifier mask. I hope the first problem is not too hard.

However, when another user of cygwin tries, it doesn't work. I've tested it on a couple different XP machines, each with Cygwin installed for ALL USERS. I can resolve this problem by removing the "/tmp/XWin.log" file manually. It seems that this file is written by the last person to successfully start an X Window, and the permissions are 644. Maybe if the file was written 664, or a different file was written for each $LOGNAME, this problem might go away. Here is what I've come up with that works for me: a "startx" script to start X: --------------------------------------------- # startx rm -f /tmp/XWin.log if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "File could not be deleted" exit fi X -broadcast > /dev/null 2>&1 & --------------------------------------------- I'd be grateful for thoughts on a better solution.

I wonder whether someone could shed some light on the warning messages I get when I start up an XWin environment under Cygwin. All I would like to know really is whether any of the messages are cause for concern and whether I need to take some corrective action (and if yes in what form).

I repeated this process a several times times and as I removed the files, the hang was always in the next file and the percentage of the installed files grew. At some point, I've excluded enough files to complete the installation After, I uninstalled everything (didn't trusted that kind of installation), selected some basic packages and installed them and after that I selected the rest of the packages and installed them also.

I recently changed my Samba server setup to PDC and joined my desktop and laptop PC's to the domain which promptly killed my Cygwin/X installations. Step two was a remove/reinstall of Cygwin/X to the latest release on both machines. This resulted in my laptop working, but not my desktop. Next step was to remove the desktop and laptop from the domain and back into the original workgroup and try again. I had to remove/reinstall Cygwin/X again, and again only the laptop will connect. So now I'm scratching my head... I have removed Cygwin/X from my desktop, cleaned the registry, removed all files related to Cygwin/X from the HD and reinstalled. Same result - The XWin window loads but no response from the Fedora server. Below is a copy of the XWin.log file and user variables, but I don't see anything out of the ordinary and I can't find any related entries in any of the Fedora logs.

Make sure that when the server does a reverse DNS lookup on the IP, it gets the same FQDN as supplied by your Cygwin machine. Check /var/log/messages on the server.

I posted the solution a little earlier this evening and based on your comments now makes perfect sense. I allow dynamic updates to my internal DNS records (silly for two PC's, but whats a geek to do) and it turned out the DNS suffix entry was removed from my desktop PC during all the rearranging. This translates into xwin/xdmcp referencing an old DNS record and refusing to connect. It's usually the simple stuff isn't it???

Tutu, a native of Cape Town in South Africa and I am an Executive Accountant with the South Africa Department of Mining & Natural Resources. First and foremost, I apologized using this medium to reach you for a transaction/business of this magnitude, but this is due to Confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium. Be informed that a member of the South Africa Export Promotion Council (SEPC) who was at the Government delegation to your country during a trade exhibition gave your enviable credentials/particulars to me. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution of the deal described hereunder for the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it as a top secret because of the nature of this transaction. Within the Department of Mining & Natural Resources where I work as an Executive Accountant and with the cooperation of four other top officials, we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totaling Eighteen -Million, Three Hundred Thousand U. S. Dollars, which we want to transfer abroad with the assistance and cooperation of a foreign company/individual to receive the said fund on our behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account to receive such funds. More so, we are handicapped in the circumstances, as the South Africa Civil Service Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore account hence your importance in the whole transaction. This amount Eighteen Million, Three Hundred Thousand represents the balance of the total contract value executed on behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced deliberately. Though the actual contract cost have been paid to the original contractor, leaving the balance in the tune of the said amount which we have in principles gotten approval to remit by Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) to any foreign bank account you will provide by filing in an application through the Justice Ministry here in South Africa for the transfer of rights and privileges of the former contractor to you, hence provide me with your private/direct fax number for the form to be send across to you. I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be willing to assist us in the transaction, your share of the sum will be 15% of the (Eighteen - Million, Three Hundred Thousand U. S. Dollars).80% for us and 5% for taxation and miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% safe, on your part provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Also your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me. Endeavor to contact me immediately through my above Tel/Fax number or my e-mail address, whether or not you are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this deal I want to assure you that my partners and myself are in a position to make the payment of this claim possible provided you can give us a very strong Assurance and guarantee that our share will be secured and please remember to treat this matter as very confidential matter, because we will not comprehend with any form of exposure as we are still in active Government Service and remember once again that time is of the essence in this business. I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation. Yours faithfully, Dr. M.

I don't know if these cause the same issues as zonealarm. We see that and worse if there is another X server already running on the system - in fact it tends to force a reboot. (Xwin32, IIRC.)

The bash thing sounds like a general Cygwin problem, so you should take it to the main Cygwin list (redirecting and setting Reply-To:).

We have no idea how the firewall is breaking the things. Those firewalls and virus scanner programs hook into the system at a very low level. If they change the behaviour of windows even a small bit, the complex unix emulation in cygwin may be disturbed and unexpected results like those hangs can occur. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 From dougp59@christian.net Fri Jan 21 17:19:00 2005 From: dougp59@christian.net (dougp59@christian.net) Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2005 17:19:00 -0000 Subject: Cygwin X with kde on Windows XP Message-ID: <41f01ec8-572f@christian.net> I'm having trouble getting CygwinX with kde3 to run on my Windows XP with SP2 installed.

How are you invoking XWin? Do you use the startxwin.sh script? If so, XWin is invoked in multi-window mode, which uses the Windows screen as the X screen. Try invoking XWin directly, and giving it the -screen parameter (see the man page for instructions on specifying the screen size), and -scrollbars to allow resizing/scrolling.

Once you get past the PATH/mount hurdle, you might run into problems with /tmp/.X11-unix/. There are a few solutions: using different displays is one (provided that directory is writable to the world); mounting /tmp as a user mount in a different directory for each user is another. See the thread , for example.

Calling startxwin.bat on the bash command line, I get the following messages: 3 [main] run 3544 tty_list::allocate_tty: No tty allocated 3 [main] run 904 tty_list::allocate_tty: No tty allocated Everything comes up normally though. I just want to know why this comes up only on Windows XP and if there are any side-effects. 2. After starting startxwin.bat, every X application (excluding the xterm that startxwin.bat started up) does not get focus. It always goes in the background below any application (X or native Win32). This is true for each and every app that gets started until you close one of the X apps. After that, everything is back to normal. That is, every X app you start will now get the focus and will be the top-level window. The problem never comes back after that. Has anyone seen this? Is there a workaround?

I have a clean (brand new, just downloaded, ...) installation of Cygwin/X. I perform the following steps: 1) Start cygwin by double clicking desktop icon. 2) In cygwin window: cd /usr/X11R6/bin 3) In cygwin window: startxwin.bat I get the X icon in the system tray, but nothing else (no xterm, nothing :( ). After some searching I discovered that there are two XWin.exe images in the processes tab of the windows task manager. This has happened on three attempts of clean all cygwin directories, download and install on this particular machine. To check myself and the system, I downloaded the same software on a second machine and it worked fine the first time. The machine I am having trouble with has one peculiarity: the system disk is G:, not C: (its a long, long story). I have tried installing cygwin/X on C:, D: and G: with the same results.

Ziesig) Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2005 21:00:00 -0000 Subject: Strange XWin startup problem v2.0 Message-ID: <41F7FD51.7000806@Ziesig.org> Hi all! I have a clean (brand new, just downloaded, ...) installation of Cygwin/X. I perform the following steps: 1) Start cygwin by double clicking desktop icon. 2) In cygwin window: cd /usr/X11R6/bin 3) In cygwin window: startxwin.bat I get the X icon in the system tray, but nothing else (no xterm, nothing :( ). After some searching I discovered that there are two XWin.exe images in the processes tab of the windows task manager. This has happened on three attempts of clean all cygwin directories, download and install on this particular machine. To check myself and the system, I downloaded the same software on a second machine and it worked fine the first time (there is only one copy of XWin.exe in Task Manager).. The machine I am having trouble with has one peculiarity: the system disk is G:, not C: (its a long, long story). I have tried installing cygwin/X on C:, D: and G: with the same results. The system is an AMD 2100+ with 2GB ram and lotsa disk space, running Windows 2000 Pro. Attached is XWin.log Has anyone reported a problem of this nature?

Questions about X11 belong in a different mailing list. cygwin-xfree AT cygwin.com. Please use that list for replies to this thread. I would say you also need to review for how to ask for help. Especially heed the part about attaching the cygcheck output to your post. It sounds like you have a simple PATH or mounts problem but you've not given nearly enough information for anyone to be able to diagnose it, which the cygcheck output will provide.

I can not verify that until monday. But render should be enabled.

What is this? I'm not > exactly how to set the DISPLAY variables. The meaning of the DISPLAY variable is described in http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#display-and-screen you can set it in the shell you're using. bash style: $ DISPLAY=ettin:15.0 $ export DISPLAY or $ export DISPLAY=ettin:15.0 or (set variable only for the program to start) $ DISPLAY=ettin:15.0 netscape csh style: $ setenv DISPLAY ettin:15.0 If you use ssh, you can rely on X11 Forwarding to set the DISPLAY correctly. ssh -Y if this does not work check the faq for trouble shooting information http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-ssh-no-x11forwarding bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 From Ryan@wgnrs.dynu.com Mon Jan 31 10:58:00 2005 From: Ryan@wgnrs.dynu.com (Ryan Wagoner) Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2005 10:58:00 -0000 Subject: Randomly Cursor Jumps To Home Message-ID: When typing in xwin the cursor will jump to the beginning of the line at random times, like pressing the home key would accomplish.
