Does disabling McAfee helps? > Just read a little further on this issue. It turns out that SSH.EXE does call sh.exe or cmd.exe in order to pass certain parameters. But I don't know in which case ssh.exe does which. Somewhere I remember it says when sh.exe is available, ssh.exe will launch it. So my simple solution is just to rename sh.exe to something else. Then everything goes back to normal, and ssh.exe does not complain at all about missing sh.exe. PS. I cannot find a way to uninstall the McAfee Privacy Service component alone (once installed) without uninstalling the entire McAfee package. I did some tests before I found the above solution. It seems any other X applications (e.g., xterm) launches fine once XWin is up and running (after one kills sh.exe), as long as this application does not call sh.exe. One thing I didn't describe accurately in my last post was that the X tunneling was actually NOT broken after sh.exe was killed. I hope this info is useful to other people who suffer from the same sh.exe problem. -- 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 cygwin@cwilson.fastmail.fm Sat Mar 4 03:23:00 2006 From: cygwin@cwilson.fastmail.fm (Charles Wilson) Date: Sat, 04 Mar 2006 03:23:00 -0000 Subject: Looking for Cygwin/X maintainer In-Reply-To: <1141320731.10034.73.camel@jetpack.demon.co.uk> References: <20060302154519.GA31944@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> <1141314559.10059.56.camel@jetpack.demon.co.uk> <20060302160048.GO3184@calimero.vinschen.de> <20060302170940.GC7292@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> <1141320731.10034.73.camel@jetpack.demon.co.uk> Message-ID: <44090762.4040102@cwilson.fastmail.fm> Alan Hourihane wrote: > But, yet more thoughts.

Please don't go away mad. :-) Better, please don't go away, even if you do stand down. Even beyond the "be really active on the mailing list" thing, tho, the current status of cygwin/x needs a bit of explanation if ANYbody is going to take over the maintainership. I'd be a bad choice -- heck, I'm doing a pretty poor job with the packages I supposedly DO maintain -- so I'm not volunteering -- but I can see some issues even so. Before Alan steps down, or during his transition period, there are a few questions that need answering before the next sucker^Wvolunteer could even begin to get a handle on things. What is the current status of cygwin/X source code, release methodology, and what are the plans for the future and the status of their implementation? I'll tick off what I think is true, and look forward to being corrected. 6.8.2.0-x -------- (where x=1,2,3,4 depending on the specific package) The current stable cygwin-xorg release is 6.8.2.0, which is a monolithic imake-driven build and lives in /usr/X11R6. It can be built by either downloading all the relevant -src packages, unpacking them in the same location, OR doing a cvs checkout from the CYGWIN branch cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/xorg co -r CYGWIN-6_8_2-MERGE xc I'm ignoring cygwin-x-docs for right now. Because this is a monolithic release, the instructions here or here http://x.cygwin.com/docs/cg/prog-build-native.html http://x.cygwin.com/docs/cg/prog-build-cross.html will work. This release was originally packaged by Alexander Gottwald in July 2005. It is a mystery how this packaging was accomplished, as http://x.cygwin.com/docs/cg/prog-distribution.html was never updated (it currently reads "Wait for these instructions to be updated, sometime after 2004-04-03.") ago is still around, monitors the list, and maintains a few (non-core) X-related packages like X-startup-scripts, X-start-menu-icons, and run. However, he is unavailable for advice or assistance with the core cygwin/x stuff: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2005-07/msg00118.html 6.8.99.901-1 ---------- The cygwin-xorg test release is 6.8.99.901-1 which is a monolithic imake-driven build, based off of one of the final release candidates for xorg-6.9.0 (aka X11R6.9). It also lives in /usr/X11R6. It can be built by either downloading all the -src packages, unpacking them in the same location, or doing a cvs checkout from the main branch cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/xorg co -r XORG-6_8_99_901 xc Again, ignoring cygwin-x-docs. Also again, because this is a monolithic release, these instructions http://x.cygwin.com/docs/cg/prog-build-native.html http://x.cygwin.com/docs/cg/prog-build-cross.html will work. This release was originally packaged by Alan Hourihane in October 2005. Obviously there were changes to the source code between 27 Oct 2005 (when Alan packaged our 6.8.99.901 version) and 21 Dec 2005 (when the "real" xorg 6.9.0 was released, and the xc monolithic tree was frozen). It is unknown if any of those changes materially affect cygwin/X. Again, the packaging is a mystery, because while Alan stated in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2005-10/msg00100.html that "currently the scripts that build and package Cygwin/X are based on the monolithic tree" I, at least, can't find those scripts in the cvs repository. BUGS: ----- Nicholas Wourms reported in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2005-10/msg00127.html that 'xcursorgen and the icon sets' were missing from this test package. (He also mentioned the DPS libraries, but that's not a bug: they are being phased out by xorg team). This release is still in 'test' after four months. Plans and status thereof ------------------------ (1) CYGWIN branch merge-to-HEAD Alan originally planned to migrate any specific changes in the CYGWIN branch over to HEAD: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2005-10/msg00122.html "I'll be working on getting whatever changes exist on [the CYGWIN] branchover into the mainline trunk code next." But that statement was made AFTER the 6.8.99.901 test release and there is no indication of whether that actually happened -- or if it was even necessary (it's possible that there were no differences between the CYGWIN branch and the HEAD branch as of 27-Oct-2005). Nor is it known whether any of these CYGWIN-branch-only changes, IF they even exist, were merged to the modular codebase. (2) Migration to modular tree Because xorg is transitioning to a modularized build architecture using the autotools instead of imake, X11R6.9 is the last monolithic release -- and the xc directory is now CLOSED for any further development as of 21 Dec 2005 (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2005-December/011752.html). Thus, any development since that time (such as Colin Harrison's xming work) has taken place elsewhere: either in the modular code, or in xming's case in a separate set of patches to be applied to a "stock" X11R6.9 xc(monolithic). It is unknown whether any of these changes (esp. Colin's work) need to be ported to the modular code for use by cygwin (maybe?), or adapted to the now-dead 6.9.0 code base as an ever-growing patch like Colin's doing with xming (not likely; modular is the future). X.org's 7.0 release contained EXACTLY the same code as their 6.9 release, only in modularized form using autotools instead of imake. However, even tho Alan was able to build a release-candidate for the monolitic 6.9 code on cygwin, it is unknown whether that same code, over in the modularized tree, can be built on cygwin. Are cygwin's autoconf/automake/libtool up to the task? Did the folks who put together the configure.ac and Makefile.am files make any assumptions that are not true for cygwin? Unknown. Alan's original plan was "To switch to the modular build without a doubt." and not remain on the monolithic (and now frozen/dead/buried) codebase, so the "keep a big patch" method being used by Colin for xming is not applicable. However, it is unknown how much progress Alan and others were able to make in "switching to the modular build" -- never mind adapting the monolithic-oriented release and pakaging scripts. It is unknown how much of Colin's stuff is helpful for cygwin or already ported/merged-into to the modular codebase. The release and packaging scripts -- which do not appear to be publicly available anyway -- need to be modified to work with the modular architecture. It is unknown what the status of that effort is. X11R7.0 and beyond, according to the xorg folks, is supposed to live in /usr and NOT /usr/X11R6 (and not /usr/X11R7, either). It is unknown what effect this will have on other cygwin packages. generic-build-script based builders will need to change --x-libraries= statements, but beyond that? Runtime effects should be minimal, although folks will need to remove their cygwin-x shortcuts and re-run (a new, updated) X-start-menu-icons.sh. Also, much of the documentation in the Contributor's Guide would need to change, to reflect new build procedures -- both for "how to make setup.exe-style packages from a modular xorg tree" and "I just want to build and test and have no interest in making release packages". Does anybody even have a clue as to how these instructions would need to change?

The following packages need to have '-no-undefined' added to the *_la_LDFLAGS: libXdmcp liblbxutil libXmu libXaw libXevie libXfont libXi libXres. Other issues I've found so far: * libX11: if X_LOCALE is not defined in general, then at least XSetLocale needs to be forced into the library for compatibility with 6.8. * liblbxutil: there's an $(EXEEXT) missing in a custom make rule, and there's an unaccounted dependency on libXdmcp. * libXaw: the install-exec-hook is Linux-specific. > Alan's original plan was "To switch to the modular build without a > doubt." and not remain on the monolithic (and now frozen/dead/buried) > codebase, so the "keep a big patch" method being used by Colin for xming > is not applicable.

It is unknown what the status of that effort is. With the modular system, you can use the g-b-s as well, one for each tarball. See the following for more details: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide > X11R7.0 and beyond, according to the xorg folks, is supposed to live in > /usr and NOT /usr/X11R6 (and not /usr/X11R7, either).

Runtime effects should be minimal, > although folks will need to remove their cygwin-x shortcuts and re-run > (a new, updated) X-start-menu-icons.sh. For one, all other packages should be moved ASAP to /usr, and this can precede X11R7.0. The affected packages outside of xorg-x11 itself are: freeglut fvwm ghostscript-x11 gv lesstif nedit openbox tcm tetex-x11 transfig WindowMaker Xaw3d XmHTML xfig xfig-lib xgraph xmon The update to libXft needs to include a postinstall script along the lines of: find /usr/lib -name '*.la' | xargs -r sed -i -e 's:/usr/X11R6/lib/libXft\.la:/usr/lib/libXft\.la:' A similar solution is needed for any other libtool libraries being moved. > Also, much of the documentation in the Contributor's Guide would need to > change, to reflect new build procedures -- both for "how to make > setup.exe-style packages from a modular xorg tree" and "I just want to > build and test and have no interest in making release packages".

I've got as far as the necessary utils, and all protos and libs; I haven't got to the server yet. So far it's pretty straight forward, just very tedious.

Typically, when McAffee and Norton cause problems, it is not sufficient to just disable them. You have to uninstall them to make a real test.

Try to determine which command can not be found... it could be ash, you say you have rebaseall so that's no it, it could be basename, grep, gzip, sed, rebase... any other used by rebaseall. Probably the easy way to do this is to add the parameter -x to ash, something like this from the Windows command line: bin\ash -x bin/rebaseall ... and all the rest. -- Ren?

However, you're much better off with "ssh -Y", which doesn't need any extra authorization procedures beyond ssh itself (and will even set DISPLAY appropriately on the remote machine). > 4) run command "ade tkvtree ." which if I'm sitting at > the actual Unix box will pop open another window. > 5) Get error message: couldn't connect to display > "192.168.1.100:0.0" at > /usr/local/nde/ade/bin/perl/cpan_modules/solaris/Tk/MainWindow.pm > line 55. > MainWindow->new() at > /usr/local/nde/ade/bin/perl/TkvtreeMain.pm line 72 > > I've also tried setting DISPLAY to > 127.0.0.1:0.0 but got the same error message. Heh, here you tried to connect to the local X server on the machine you're telnetting to. Do try ssh. You don't have to set the DISPLAY on the remote machine, or run "xhost" locally -- just "ssh -Y 140.87.21.10" and then "ade tkvtree ." (which you can also combine into one command [!]).

From what I recall, when the parameter is specified, Xwin.exe does not complain if it's invoked twice (i.e., if an invocation is a duplicate). It merely exits silently. The effect is that if a user runs startxwin.bat twice, Xwin starts on the first run, along with an xterm, and Xwin does not start on the second run, but the xterm does. -- 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 eddy@fericom.net Sun Mar 12 14:14:00 2006 From: eddy@fericom.net (Eddy Ilg) Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2006 14:14:00 -0000 Subject: ssh -Y not working / possible xauth bug?

What could cause the message "Warning: > No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding."? You're seeing two unrelated symptoms: the "No xauth data" message, and the "DISPLAY is not set" problem. The former is just a warning you get from ssh -- Googling for it produces a bunch of descriptions and fix recipes (in fact, someone posted one to this list earlier this year). The latter is actually your problem. It could be that the X forwarding is disabled on the server. Try "ssh -Y -vvv", and see what it gives you...

(-once option) Message-ID: <3409204.post@talk.nabble.com> I've recently set up my windows machine to open programs off my linux computer using Cygwin. I've set up an extremely simple batch file and shell script so that I can simply click on the batch file and it'll forward a linux application to my windows machine. I want to replicate opening a program normally in windows, so I'm using the -multiwindow option in XWin. So, after I run a linux application and close it, I want XWin to shut down as well. According to the Cygwin documentation, I can use the -once option so that XWin closes after one session. I cannot get the -once option to work. Perhaps I simply don't understand how to end the session. If anyone knows of a way I can get XWin to shut down after I close the window the linux app was running in (whether it be the -once option, or otherwise) I'd be very grateful. I'm probably not understanding how -once works, so perhaps even if you could explain a way to get that option to work, I could bend it to my own needs.

I just realized that I was doing something a bit convoluted and simplified it. I now only need a batch file to do what I have been doing. So my batch file just runs XWin, then runs ssh to connect to my Linux computer. I'm pretty novice at Linux, so I looked around until I figured out how to execute a program through ssh with a single command. The line in my batch file looks like: %RUN% ssh -Y -l username linuxmachine "(programtorun)" Watching my processes in windows, when I close the forwarded app ssh.exe also closes. So it's not like ssh is still connected and keeping XWin alive. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Shutting-down-XWin-after-session-%28-once-option%29-t1282431.html#a3410262 Sent from the cygwin-xfree forum at Nabble.com. -- 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 ihok@hotmail.com Wed Mar 15 05:29:00 2006 From: ihok@hotmail.com (Jack Tanner) Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2006 05:29:00 -0000 Subject: windows XP : cygwin -X server not opening In-Reply-To: <441795C3.6070208@gmail.com> References: <441795C3.6070208@gmail.com> Message-ID: Alexander wrote: > Dear Avinash, > from your CV: > "Senior software engineer with two years of experience on various > platforms like UNIX, .." > Imo - a Senior with amazing two years of experience should be able to > read the messages on his screen, look into a logfile and solve the > problem within 5 minutes maybe while also taking a look into the > documentation. > Thanks for the funny post, it made me laugh a lot. > Ask the people where you bought your master.

Oh, you're so wise. Get back to start and check the logfile. There is one line which indicate a network related problem: winClipboardProc - Call to select () failed: -1. Bailing. You did know that? Everything else you mentioned is not critical.

Diddley? I have been running XWin without shared memory support for years without fault. In fact, my experience is that it is MORE reliable without it. Since you are so keen on urging others to read the documentation, I suggest you do so yourself before criticising others. If you had done so, you would have seen in http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using-shared-memory.html that: ~ XWin.exe will not use Shared Memory if the CYGWIN does not contain ~ the server keyword. Starting XWin.exe with ~ CYGWIN=server XWin.exe ~ will enable Shared Memory support if the cygserver service is running. Shared memory use is OPTIONAL. This is also implied by the log entry. There have also been numerous references to this on this list (which is archived and searchable).

You're thinking of running Xwin in rootless mode with an external window manager -- whichever window manager you had (e.g., openbox).

You have to start the VNC server and then (assuming display 1 is used): client machine# ssh -NfC -L 5901:server.name.or.ip:15901 user@server.name.or.ip server machine# ssh -gN -L 15901:localhost:5901 user@localhost The numbers may have to be changed (as I said above) depending on what starting the server reported as display number or how is setup to start if you start it from the X server.

I used to use the following all the time to access my Windows machine remotely: ssh -f -L 5901:localhost:5900 -N -C -o Compression=yes -o CompressionLevel=9 vncviewer & YMMV.

The menus and everything else would work as expected. Now I see just a window but the menu doesn't even show up. Worse, once I run gnome-terminal, I cannot kill it and XWin hangs trying to fork new xterm from the XWin menu. I have to use the Windows task manager to kill all the XWin stuff and then restart XWin again. IOW, after gnome-terminal is up and hung, if I right click the X to start more xterms, they don't show up and ps -ef in cygwin shows one XWin process for every time I try to start a new local xterm. At this point in time, I'd just like to find somebody that is using a gnome-terminal in cygwin so I can tell if it's my environment or if the problem is the package itself.

It is off-topic because there is nothing Cygwin-specific about the process to getting this working. So unless you can point to how this works on some other platform and not on Cygwin, you need to find a good book, site, or forum for ssh tunneling information. Consulting the man page is a good start if you haven't already. I don't know what lines you typed to get the above error but I'm guessing from the error you typed: ssh -f -L 5901:localhost:5900 -N -C -o Compression=yes -o CompressionLevel=9 zlib@openssh.com I can't reproduce your issue.

See: http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=openssh-unix-dev&a=2005-10&t=1422256 If you leave compression off, then you won't get an error message because it's probably working. ssh with -f will just spawn in the background and return (-f implies -n, which redirects to /dev/null).

Message-ID: Dear All, Years ago I made a program to preview (postscript jobs) large posters intended to be printed on HP2500 roll printers. These printers are about a yard wide and dozens of feet long. So to see a complete image on a normal sized monitor requires some scaling and/or scrolling. Since these jobs are postscript I've been using ghostscript to render the image but so far I've not been able to put scroll bars on the window. In some cases I've edited the postscript to shift the image to areas of interest but that is a bit of a pain. Ghostview is a possibility but to control the scaling amongst other parameters I have had to use some postscript commands (primarily /HWResolution) that are not passed through. So the question is: How can I put scroll bars on a ghostscript X window (driver x11)? I use twm but whatever method should work with other servers. Thanks for any advice.

I have found that turning the firewall off in some cases isn't enough and/or is worse that leaving it on in diagnosing these types of problem. If you believe ZA is causing the problem, either turn it on and allow the X-server and various programs or uninstall it completely. With it on, you should be prompted as each program trys to make its first connection. If you are running XP, the XP firewall may be on and causing an issue. I've presuming you are running the free version of ZA, I have found generally that the Pro/Suite version runs better generally and that V6 for both is a big improvement overall. Start by ruling ZA in or out, which may come down to completely uninstalling it, which may not be a bad thing as it will provide the opportunity to upgrade it on reinstall.

I have the same problem intermittently (Win 2K, no firewalls except for NAT router) - X seems to start up successfully at about every second attempt; else it also hangs on the line: winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () which sounds like a threading issue.

It's marked as ***EXPERIMENTAL***, but I've been running it without problem for months. I've not done too much extreme GL stuff, but what I've tried all seems to work. You'll also need the opengl package for your GL clients. If you have problems with the native (i.e. accelerated) GL server, you can use the Mesa package with the non-GL XWin as a fallback. > > 2) Is there a stable XFree server configuration application that > controls the various X server characteristics? > Emacs and vi (yes I use both - we're not all editor bigots) do just fine for me ;) I'm not sure what characteristics you had in mind. The server startup parameters are documented in /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat (which may be moved to /bin soon). This is the file that you need to edit. Once X is running, xset, xmodmap etc. are your friends. You can add these to the end of startxwin.bat. I assume what you were really after was a GUI X launcher application. There was talk of such a beast quite a while back, but I think it was shelved because it would need to be a native Windows application and would therefore not sit well within cygwin. I don't know if any further work has been done in this direction.

If you connect thru a X-Server to a remote Linux machine thru a LAN which has KDE installed there is a easy workaround which I use since more than 1 1/2 years. Run the KDE on the remote computer.

That's a bug in XWin. It just has not been present before due to a bug in newlib which has been fixed just a couple of days before. FWIW, the bug is apparently fixed in xorg-x11 version 6.8.99.901-1, which is available as test version using setup. Maybe we should make 6.8.99.901-1 the "current" version now?

I'm having the same problem. * From: Leonard Berman * To: cygwin-xfree at cygwin dot com * Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2003 12:47:09 -0500 * Subject: startx broken. Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server,Xlib: Noprotocol specified * Reply-to: cygwin-xfree at cygwin dot com I started having this problem a week ago when I accidentally shut down W2K which X was running. Since then I have reinstalled all of cygwin with no effect. (I did not remove the cygwin directory tree.) When I run startx from bash, a window opens; however, the window manager (fvwm2) cann't connect. XWin.log is included below. I assume the problem is a missing config file which is flagged in the log, but I'm at a loss at how to proceed. startxwin.sh works and from inside the resulting window, fvwm2 runs; however startx behaves the same.
