RE: Startxwin.bat fatal error in Windows Vista
Allen Rongone wrote on Monday, May 14, 2007 8:29 PM:: I've seen this before under Windows XP and it was due to the fact that the previous user was the owner of the /tmp/.X11-unix directory and no one else had permissions to delete the X0 file nor were they able to remove this directory. I just gave Everyone Full Control to the /tmp directory and made it inheritable, that solved the problem. However, now under Vista, Everyone no longer gets propagated to the /tmp/X11-unix directory so when another user runs startxwin.bat it cannot delete the X0 file and remove the sud-directory. The usual workaround for this is to make /tmp a user mount, i.e. each user has their own /tmp. E.g.: mount -u -b $APPDATA\\tmp /tmp If that doesn't work, there's either a program already using port 6000, or your firewall/antivirus is blocking access to it. X uses port 6000 + the display number, so if another program's using port 6000, you can start X on say port 6002 with XWin :2. -- 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/

SOLVED: Can not turn off terminal beep for completion [Ruby programmers, read this!]
Theoretically, but there still could be a few things going wrong, one of which being that you and your Cygwin environment have different ideas of what $HOME is. At least, the environment variable HOME is set correctly, and also my ~/.bash_profile is read, so this suggests that bash *does* look for my HOME at the expected place. Try running bind 'set bell-style none' from the bash command line... Indeed, you are right: my .inputrc is not read - but the reason for it is really bizarre: I had installed cygwin together with the Ruby programming language. After this, I decided to also install the pure Windows version of Ruby. This installation, however, had the funny side effect to set on Windows the system-wide environment variable INPUTRC to a file 'c:\ruby185\bin\inputrc.euro'!!! My guess is that they use this file for the interactive Ruby shell (irb), but in any case, it means that when bash is started, it sees INPUTRC pointing to a different file and ignores my $HOME/.inputrc!

That's it. No additional software components. None. What do you mean by components? Do you mean if you go into the Add/Remove Programs, the only items I would see would be the MS SDK, XP Patches, DirectX SDK, and Sun Java? If you tell it to hide updates, I'd guess you only have 3 items on your Software list? the MS-Platform SDK, the DirectX SDK and the Sun Java SDK? (Cygwin wouldn't be listed). That's a pretty short list, but I assume it is a test machine that's off the main net and is only for testing? Well, it depends upon how you look at it. Its probably best viewed as a build machine for building the Sun Java SDK, with emphasis on OpenJDK. Its a test machine in the sense that I'm starting with a bare machine to test the instructions for setting up a build environment for the JavaSDK. That's why its a short list. The goal is for it to be the minimal list to build with. I'm 2500 miles from this machine at the moment, so I'm not exactly sure what you would see in add/remove programs. I suspect your list is correct, but you'ld also see Virtual Studio (which you probably missed due to the missing CR above). With this configuration, I get random can not fork: Resource temporarily unavailable errors ... [and] dup_proc_pipe failures, which are fairly random, but tend to be understandably associated with long pipes in the build process. If I add /ONECPU to boot.ini, neatly turning my DualCore system into a single core system, the failures all magically disappear. - Using Process Explorer from sysinternals.com (now owned by MS), one can set affinities for processes that should limit your processes to 1 cpu. Children from a processor-limited process inherit the affinities. I'm wondering -- just as a data point, if you tried building on a dual-core, but setting all of your cygwin processes to run on one core? No, I haven't tried this, and I'm not sure exactly how I would do this. I start with make (from cmake, for cygwin, because the cygwim make currently has some nasty bugs related to the ol' spaces in file names situation). Make mostly calls either cygwin programs *or* the Virtual Studio compilation system. I'm not sure how I'd set one group with a processor affinity and not the other. If this experment is worth doing, give me a bit more info on what you expect and I can do it when I get back to where the machine is (next week). This would tend to indicate that there is a multi-threading issue either in cygwin or in the underlying Windows XP operating environment. --- Sounds plausible -- all of your drivers are one's included in XP? Yes. Maybe, perversely, you could try drivers from your hardware manufacturers and see if they work better? On a previous machine, I installed drivers for my motherboard from Intel site. The drivers are basically the same. Its a most nVidia board and the drivers on the Microsoft site are just certified versions of the nVidia drivers. (Exception - the Intel network adaptor as mentioned on the exchange with Rene - this is the Intel driver, certified by Microsoft). Another difference (that shouldn't make a difference) is the BIOS code -- I have run into BIOS code, *many* years ago, that wasn't reentrant --- made it a pain to work with. But with multiple cpu's, that's a more challenging layer of re-entrancy than single-cpu multi-tasking/threading. That would be scary. Very, very scary... I am down rev. (one rev.) from the current BIOS provided by ASUS, but the newer rev only claims to expand CPU support. But maybe making sure you have latest drivers from manufacturers even though they may not be coming with your standard WinXP install would help? I can check the rev. on the nVidia site, and if newer, will update and report back. Linda That all said, there are a lot of threads here recently reporting this failure symptom. Some of the reports tend to indicate that the problem only appeared when Cygwin was updated (then again, how many of us visit Windows Update and forget to mention that). I tend not to think its a chip driver revision problem.

The function to contact the logon server has been changed in CVS HEAD to use the newer DsGetDcNameA function instead of the old NetGetDCName. Only on NT4 Cygwin falls back to NetGetDCName/NetGetAnyDCName.

I will nevertheless work on the upgrade ASAP; in the meantime, if you wish to use gvim, you must downgrade to the last 7.0 release.

I don't see the advantage to changing vim's standard directory structure. Also, I understand that Cygwin doesn't _support_ the installation of multiple vim versions, but I don't see why it should _disallow_ such installations. I'll second this. All that is needed is a little more coordination on our part.
