FYI, the Cygwin/X guide may also mention cygserver, as XWin is compiled with the SHM extension which won't work without it, but that is purely optional. Just so you don't get confused reading about cygserver there. You do not *need* cygserver to run Cygwin/X. > Since realising my mistake I've tried adding xwin.exe as a service, > which worked but when I try to run a terminal window nothing happens. > > What am I doing wrong? While it is possible to run XWin as a service (using a service wrapper like cygrunsrv or srvany), it is not recommended, and will not do what you want anyway. XWin needs to run separately for each user, while the service will be global to the machine. You'll also have to allow interaction with the desktop, and make sure the X server is started with the right parameters. If you simply want to start the X server before other programs, put a shortcut to startxwin.bat (or "bash startxwin.sh") into the user's Startup folder. > Thanks for the help btw...

In X windows, the "client" is the program such as emacs. The X-Windows server manages the display for the client program. A client program will ask the X-Windows server to draw something on the display. The X-Windows Server does the work and we users get to see the result. The Cygwin X-Windows server is NOT a Windows Service. It is just a program, like any other. Once you have lauched it, you can lauch a terminal program like xterm (A X-Windows Client program) to start up other X-Window client programs.

The > rest I'll ask about later (if people are kind) You may want to be a bit more specific about what you're trying to do. As others have said, if you want to run X-based applications in Windows, you need to use startxwin to start X. I've created an entry in my Startup folder that runs X for me. From there, I can run X-based applications. X runs in user space rather than as a server application. The way typical X-windows users see things is that program that runs under startxwin is the client application, not the server. Server applications for X-Windows are running programs (like xterm, emacs, etc.). This may seem like a role reversal, but there's a reason for that - the program producing the information is the server and the program displaying it is the client. So, if I want to display an xterm on my.host.com, I can do that by telling xterm -display my.host.com:0. That will cause xterm to serve itself to the X client on my.host.com instance 0. If the client allows the server to display information, the window will appear. If not, the server will get a rejection notice. If the client rejects, the user can tell the client to accept connections by using "xhost +my.other.host.com". For more information, see... man xterm man xhost I hope this helps. -- 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 kevin.benton@amd.com Tue Apr 4 17:55:00 2006 From: kevin.benton@amd.com (Benton, Kevin) Date: Tue, 04 Apr 2006 17:55:00 -0000 Subject: Newbie help Message-ID: <6F7DA19D05F3CF40B890C7CA2DB13A4205578F08@ssvlexmb2.amd.com> > X runs in user space rather than as a server application.

Message-ID: Hello, ISSUE: Facing problem with bit fields, when i am compiling my code with GCC. It was previously compiled with diab compiler and was working fine. In our code Union definition is as follows..., union { unsigned_8 indicator; struct { unsigned_8 unused : 6; unsigned_8 speed :1; unsigned_8 time :1; }bit; }msg; In code, speed and time bits are set as follows msg.bit.speed=TRUE; msg.bit.time=TRUE; Some where in code there is check for indicator as follows if(indicator==03) /* this is to check whether speed and time bits are set. If yes go iside block */ { ---- ---- ---- } unused 6 bits are initialized to 0. This code previously compiled with diab compiler and working fine. Now i am trying to compile with GCC compiler. The problem here is 1. If speed and time bits are set, these bits are coming in MSB. That is it is coming 1100 0000 ( C0 ) instead of 0000 0011 (03 ). That why eventhough speed and time bits are set, condition is not satisfying because indicator value is 'C0' not '03'. 2. Compiler is assigning the memory from bottom to top for bit fields in the structure. Previously in diab compiler it is aligning bits from top to bottom, with that our code was working fine. 2. I know that these bit fields are compiler dependent. Is there any option in GCC to set the bit fields from top to bottom ( MSB to LSB ) in structure. 3. As per the client requirement we are not supposed to change the code. I am looking for any option or any other way to solve this problem.

Those are X fonts, and thus not applicable to the Windows cmd window. AFAIK, there is no way to get the Windows cmd window to display in a font that is rescaled when the window is resized (not on WinXP, at least). Win98 has such a feature, IIRC. You could try to run rxvt in the Windows-native mode -- perhaps it has some option to change font scaling when resized. > Oh and sorry if this is to the wrong group I figured this was a cygwin > thing and not a cygwin/x thing.

By default xterm uses the primary selection. It is possible that cygwin can supply the X clipboard selection to notepad (not necessarily the same as the Windows clipboard). xterm can be told to use the clipboard selection (recent xterm versions- cygwin probably is not recent) can do this via a menu selection.

For that, you only need to use the mouse bindings that xterm provides by default (see manpage): left=start selection, middle=paste, right=extend selection. > Every window has the reverse video highlight capability. > However, I can't get beyond that. > > Please help. > > Thanks, > > David > > > > > > -- > 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/ > > -- Thomas E.

Igor tried to tell you this really isn't a cygwin/x issue, and scalable fonts won't do this for you, at least not with the regular command window. There are other alternatives to the command window. There is xterm, which runs under X, and rxvt, which has both an X and a native-windows mode. But I don't think either of these will do what you want, either. Most terminal type windows just give you more lines/columns when you resize them and not increase the font. But, you can select different font sizes which will cause the window to grow/shrink accordingly. If that is acceptable to you, instead of using the normal resize controls, check those out. e.g. in xterm try ctrl-right click. You may try asking back on the main list if the new native-only experimental rxvt will have a similar option if you don't want to run X just to get this.

I just linked XWin.exe -query on our desktops, copied the cygwin-dlls to system32 and was happy to use my terminal-server. However, in this scenario a whole new KDE instance is started, requiering RAM, CPU, I/O etc. . For security reasons and in order to spare server ressources and to make the desktop more simple, we'd like to run single applications, accessed by ssh instead of whole sessions accessed by xdmcp. The plan is to link the single applications into the users start menu. If users click 'em, an xserver will be started (if none is started already), connect to the server (public key ssh) and lunch the application over there. Thus I installed cygwin an a fresh "next generation" workstation as Administrator, ran bash, ran startx, which starts xterm here, ssh'ed (-X) to the terminal server, fired up xlock and got it. wonderful. ;-) Next I tried it as domain admin (we've some XP Pro Boxes in a samba hosted domain here). When I fired up bash, I got some warning, about my group beeing makepasswd and tried to generate it by mkpasswd -d. (Does the /etc/passwd and my domain user datebases really kept to be in sync in my scenario?). For some reason I got mkpasswd (272): [2221] user not found (translated) I looked at my /etc/passwd, found admin (my domain administrator) in there (however, there is no other domain user listed) and run startx. A new xterm shell popped up. I ssh'ed to our terminal server, started xclock, which returned the following error: connect /tmp/.X11-unix/X0: Connection refused X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). (This is rather strange imho, since an xserver, and at least one client (xterm) was running at the moment). What did I do wrong? Are there some things I've to reconsider? Is someone using cygwin in a simular scenario?

The only way I've been able to use either the -X or -Y switches is to uninstall ZoneAlarm, shutting it down is insufficient. The problem, atleast in my case seems to have something to do with xauth getting stuck and never returning, it actually locks up to the point of having to shutdown the X server and usually causes Windows to hang when trying to logout or reboot. This used to work, I have an older system that I use occasionally that is running ZoneAlarm and an older version of Cygwin that I can use -X/-Y and works great. I've tried using this as a model to work backwards to diagnose with no luck.

Well if you're absolutely sure ZoneAlarm is configured in exactly the same way on both systems, then looking at Cygwin may make some sense. Or if you're convinced that Cygwin is the problem regardless, take the new Cygwin DLL to the old system and try this out. Stepping forward slowly is easier than trying to back up, which I assume is what you meant when you said you tried to back rev and it "didn't work". That should allow you to home in on where the problem starts for you and point you to where you'd want to concentrate your efforts to resolve it. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

The example is with slight modifications the same as the one "Taking a Snapshot and Viewing Processes" in BorlandC++ 6.0 from the M$ SDK. But everytime I try it all the processes within the Snapshot seem to be expiered. I found another Example from Borland getting all the processes with a WindowHandle. As a virus or trojan may not have a window handle it's kind of useless. But when getting the list (in the borland example) the put a lock on a global semaphore which is released after the list is processed. The 100% can be caused in your case by a continious reloading of the list, imo. Why csrss goes wild could be the fast pid changeing inside cygwin and then continiously refreshing the windows internal list triggered by GetProcessModule which as a side effect refreshes windoze internal list (because they seen to loose messages in there system all the time) without altering the snap. The effect can best seen by monitoring the windoze internal messages. GetProcessModule triggers something else inside the Windoze kernel (imo the update of the process list) as a side effect. Cygwin on the other hand depending on the threads and programms uses a lot of pids. Before Windoze got it's list updated it's outdated resulting in a new update request. Sorry, that's a real Micro$oft issue. The problem worsens because if the first windoze internal message isn't done before a certain timeout another internal windoze kernel messages is created. From my observation up to three messages. So one call of of the kernel triggers up to three side messages. Locking the table by issuing a semaphore on it like borland does may help because other processes have to wait for a new pid until the semaphore is cleared. Anyway thanks to that I can understand why so many people complain about 100% csrss. It's not a cygwin problem as cygwin depends on the underlying windoze system and windoze seem not to be able to handle fast pid changing for short running processes well.

If you plan to simply back up Cygwin and restore it at some later point, then the mount information won't harm you, and you might as well just delete the directory. Same applies if you plan to reinstall later but keep the directory structure the same. Keep in mind that if plan to reinstall and have set up certain things (like ssh user identity files, etc) that are referenced by some external entities (for example, the ssh authorized_keys file on a remote machine), you should either keep those around, or expect to transfer them again when you reinstall (since the identity files will be regenerated by a new installation). If you really do want to delete all of Cygwin, see the FAQ: . FWIW, if all you want is to get some disk space, the following FAQ entry might help: .

When I left mouse click and hold a corner of a window to resize it, it seems to me that it tries to track the movement of the mouse curser and start to update the window instantly. So I could see several updates happening. The problem is the window has lots of graphics and it takes a while to finish the updates. Even when I have released the mouse bottom, it continues the updates until it covers the whole window and then it only shows the graphics at the original window size and the rest become gray ... Is there a way to tell the software not to update the window until the mouse button had been released i.e.. the window resizing has finished? Any hint is appreciated.

For example, I had been using for several months a desktop shortcut that calls the following target: C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /bin/tcsh -c /usr/X11R6/bin/startx (did that get split to 2 lines? should be one) This shortcut worked like a charm for many months. Then, all of a sudden last week, it stopped working. Symptom is that NOTHING occurs - not even an error message. No new processes appear in windows Task Manager either. I installed one new app (snoopfree privacy shield), however I uninstalled it (and rebooted), yet the problem persists. I might have received a Windows update, but I'm not sure how to find out. Furthermore, I cannot launch anything via run.exe manually from a windows command prompt. For example, the following results in absolutely nothing other than silence: C:\Program Files>C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /bin/bash C:\Program Files>C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /bin/id C:\Program Files>C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /bin/ls C:\Program Files>C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /bin/ps Yet it does seem to at least check that the target exists - because the following command results in a popup error indicating that /bin/junk could not be located: C:\Program Files>C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /bin/junk This is on Windows XP.

I've attached the Xwin.log in this email. If I use something like "XManager" (their newest which supports opengl) and ssh (with their ssh) to login to the same node, the same application would work properly from that node "shown" in my laptop. I've made /usr/X1165/bin/X to point to Xwin_GL.exe. I also know that opengl is kind of activated after I use ssh -Y ; otherwise (ie. if I don't), it'd complain about not having "GLX".

I tried adding +bs option but with no result. I checked that the option is actually set by using xdpyinfo command. Any other idea? (My original email below) I use Cygwin (FreeXer) to connect to my university's Solaris network and run Unix programs from my PC. When I left mouse click and hold a corner of a window to resize it, it seems to me that it tries to track the movement of the mouse curser and start to update the window instantly. So I could see several updates happening. The problem is the window has lots of graphics and it takes a while to finish the updates. Even when I have released the mouse bottom, it continues the updates until it covers the whole window and then it only shows the graphics at the original window size and the rest become gray ... Is there a way to tell the software not to update the window until the mouse button had been released i.e. the window resizing has finished? Any hint is appreciated.

Change your window manager to just show a wire-frame outline of the window while you are resizing, instead of trying to continuously update the contents. How to do this will depend on your window manager. I believe it's possible even if you are using Windows as your window manager, but I can't find the setting right now - maybe someone else knows it? You may have to resort to using a different window manager.

At some point in the past Alexander has said that the reason for having that mount no longer exists, since it worked around a fixed bug when the fonts dir was mounted textmode (by forcing it binmode.)

"fixed" is an alias to -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1. make sure you run these commands in the misc directory in this order: mkfontscale mkfontdir (equals mkfontscale -b -s -l) mkfontdir reuses some information created by mkfontscale to create the entries for the scaleable fonts. > 2) Is mounting the fonts directory necessary?

When looking for help on the Cygwin lists, it's always best to read and follow the problem reporting guidelines found here: > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html This instructs you on all the basic information a problem report should contain, which keeps the responders to your pleas from having to ask for it prior to helping you find your problems. Without the benefit of all the info that recommends, I can hazard a guess that you have a copy of the MKS tools installed. These tools will conflict with the like named tools in Cygwin. Your best bet is to remove them. You'll likely find little advantage to having them both and you certainly invite difficulties if you decide to keep them both. If you want both installed, you must make sure that one environment doesn't see the other. That includes manipulating your PATH appropriately and all your other shell variables. In particular, you've already found that MKS has set SHELL to point to it's version. You'll likely see other problems like this as well. As I said, the easiest thing to do is to uninstall MKS and rely on the Cygwin version of these tools for your needs. Obviously, you are free not to take this advice but your configuration will generally be considered non-standard by those who frequent the Cygwin lists so further problems you may have as a result your MKS installation is likely to fall on deaf ears. ;-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

If he *were* to remove that installation of MKS, he would then discover that his Rational Rose/Clearcase/Clearquest installation was broken. IBM's Rational toolkit relies on having those MKS tools available (and no, they cannot be coerced into using cygwin's tools instead). (It's the automation stuff behind the scenes which requires MKS, not the cmdline 'cleartool' app; you can still call the cmd line 'cleartool' executable from cygwin if you want, without conflicting with MKS) If you want both installed, you must make sure that one > environment doesn't see the other. That includes manipulating your PATH > appropriately and all your other shell variables. In particular, you've > already found that MKS has set SHELL to point to it's version. Yep, that's the key. I simply set my cygwin dotfiles to override those nasty Rational variable values. PATH TERM SHELL TERMINFO will do it. (you can include the dir in which cleartool.exe lives in your cygwin PATH; that's a different dir than the MKS junk). You'll > likely > see other problems like this as well.

A simplistic work around is to simply not use xauth.exe. If the port that the X server is running on (i.e. 6000 by default) is only available via localhost, this should be reasonably secure vs. validating individual connections. Simply make xauth.exe unavailable with a command like: mv /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth.exe /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth.exe.nohang Then forwarding works: $ ssh -Y target Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
