Re: can't paste from Windows to X clients
We were having a similar problem with Cygwin/xfree on Windows 95 with Linux running in Xwindows supplied via xfree/cygwin. The problem had several aspects. - When we up graded Cygwin at one point (can't remember which) things stopped working so we fell back. - When we up graded our Red Hat 8 from Gnome to KDE, the cut/paste stopped working. It was dead for a while until a KDE upgrade came along that included an upgrade to a package that caused things to work ... sometimes. So there was a KDE problem -- but I don't recall what package it was (I think it had a Q in it). However, we are current on KDE and things are working ... sometimes. The final solution and to fix it so it works almost all the time was that: --- We stopped using -clipboard. Instead we run the standalone xwinclip after the cygwin was started. --- When using the xwinclip, it would either fail quickly or fail to start at all or fail to restart if we used the windows start command. Instead we simply run xwinclip.exe (without the start command) about 20 seconds after the cygwin is started. It is best to wait until the linux desktop is up and settled in. --- With that method, xwinclip will start and stay started about 80% of the time. However, sometimes it won't start/restart or it will die during the day. Attempts to restart it at that point often do not work immediately. The solution to that is to go into a simple windows program like Notepad, highlight some plain text and do ctrl-c. Then try restarting xwinclip.exe -- it should work. Somehow it gets something in its craw that it does not know what to do with and it dies. I know that some of my problems are probably because we are still using Win95 for desktops. (We are holding out until linux gets good enough on the corporate desktop that we can switch to all-linux; soon I hope if the linux-heads would realize that they need to get serious about linux in the corporate environment before Joe Employee can be productive with.) I also know that since I am not using the latest and greatest (?) Cygwin stuff, I can't whine about things not working. However, I find the Cygwin upgrade process so darn obnoxious and time consuming with multiple download sites which may or may not work at any given moment and then you have to start over, blah, blah, blah. I would be willing to PAY for a STABLE Cygwin upgrade/download method so that I did not have to play sysadmin to get the latest versions. (Someday hopefully the Cygwin folks will realize that not everybody likes to twiddle bits and that some people have to work at their jobs to make money instead of trying to figure out how to get stuff downloaded.) Jay Andrew Schulman said the following on 08/09/2004 03:42 PM: I run XWin.exe -multiwindow -clipboard -dpi 100 . I can copy and paste from X to Windows clients, but not from Windows to X clients. Windows to Windows and X to X copies also work fine. I know I've seen postings about this problem in the past, but I can't find anything recent about it and I don't know what the status is. The problem has persisted for me for a long time, on two different Windows XP boxes. Any help appreciated. cygcheck -svr is attached. Andrew.

Piping problems with bk and ssh under Win XP SP2
With my current installation (Win XP SP2, Cygwin 1.5.12) it looks like I cannot use BitKeeper via ssh since there is a piping problem with SP2 and Cygwin. I have two questions: 1) Is this considered a Win XP (SP2) problem, or will this issue be fixed? 2) Is there a workaround? If the workaround is downgrading Cygwin, then where's the information on how to do this? Thanks in advance for your time!

I think it is not really working. In the docs is mentioned that
the backtick character is what : is in vim, but it seems to have
no effect when I hit backtick, I cannot delete or save or exit...
What you could try to do about your problem is:
add /usr/lib/automode.o to the objects and link it in the executable.

Same result. OK, so now you want to run your server in debug mode, try to connect, and check the output. That should clarify what the problem is. More than likely, it's permissions of your home directory, the .ssh directory, or the files in /var/log. Also, make sure your home directory as stated by '/etc/passwd' or the HOME environment variable exists. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

gcc-g77 4.4.1-1 stack memory error
G'day; I have a Fortran 77 code involving the finite element solution of rather large matrices using a conjugate gradient method. The code trustfully runs with g77 on Linux and Unix with no problems. When I tried running it this morning using the Cygwin gcc-g77 3.3.3-3, it complied nicely but I got a runtime error of MapViewOfFileEx failed, Win32. I then installed gcc-g77 3.4.1-1 and the same thing happened but with rather different error messages: First I got a *.exe.stackdump file (attached) and then received a Segmentation Error. An internet search yields -Wl --stack= options for gcc. Is there any workaround for g77? This is rather frustrating, knowing that I have to find a way to get this to work under Cygwin. I believe this is a Windows problem rather than Cygwin but!!! Cygcheck output is also attached. Thank you.

uw-imap Cygwin secrets revealed, at least a bit!
The initial problem was: - uw-imap on cygwin ran well with Outlook Express - but hung upon connection when using Outlook 2003 In the end I made it to get it work with the following workaround: In inetd.conf, I dont start the daemon directly, but use the following wrapper script. #!/bin/sh tee NUL | /usr/sbin/imapd This slows down communication a bit, but I can connect and had no more hangs up till now. So the original problem seems to be timing specific. My guesses are: - the cygwin port of uw-imap may have a problem here. I couldnt find any similar error reports for any other platform uw-imap is running on. - cygwin causes the problem itself - inetd is out of the line since I also tested with xinetd and had similar effects Id be glad to assist one of the gurus going deeper into this. Even more, Id like to invest more time again to debug it myself, but my gdb knowledge is non-existing. If someone would show me how to start, the I definitely would do so. My concern is that usual debugging approaches will fail because of the timing related cause of the problem. Thanks to all of you so far!

Re: gcc-g77 4.4.1-1 stack memory error
Thanks for the clue Tim. It was a stupid oversight on my part. The makefile version that I was using had the ordering of linker options wrong so these were never in effect. Moving these options forward took care of the problem. Best regards. Ata Bilgili ---Tim Prince [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote --- In what way is a linker option supposed to be specific to gcc?

A vexing installation problem
A couple days ago, I tried to update a quite old cygwin installation on a Windows XP SP2 box to the latest (1.5.12-1). After the update, all Cygwin programs exit immediately and silently. I've tried scrubbing the Windows registry of anything with a Cyg in it, deleting the Cygwin tree, and reinstalling from scratch, with the same result. Running strace on any Cygwin program shows apparently normal output (as far as I can tell) up to a point; and then zippo. For example, here's the end of 'strace ls': 149 42033 [main] ls 4072 pwdgrp::load: /etc/group 140 42173 [main] ls 4072 pwdgrp::load: strange path_conv problem 140 42313 [main] ls 4072 pwdgrp::load: /etc/group load failed 152 42465 [main] ls 4072 __cygwin_lock_lock: threadcount 1. not locking 151 42616 [main] ls 4072 __cygwin_lock_unlock: threadcount 1. not unlocking 148 42764 [main] ls 4072 pwdgrp::read_group: Completing /etc/group: mkpasswd:S-1-5-21-1844237615-725345543-682003330-513:401:dhinds 442 43206 [main] ls 4072 cygheap_user::ontherange: what 2, pw 0x10011018 147 43353 [main] ls 4072 cygheap_user::ontherange: HOME is already in the environment /cygdrive/h 684 44037 [main] ls 4072 sigproc_init: process/signal handling enabled(1) 176 44213 [main] ls 4072 __cygwin_lock_lock: threadcount 1. not locking 167 44380 [main] ls 4072 __cygwin_lock_unlock: threadcount 1. not unlocking Some commands get as far as executing build_argv().
