FW: svn / subversion does not print
gds wrote on 12 May 2008 21:42: Yes, strace and cygcheck both indicate that cygexpat-0.dll is missing and should be in /bin. Don't see it there. Just see an expat package in the installer, no libexpat0 as pointed out here: http://www.nabble.com/-PACKAGING-ERROR--subversion-1.4.5-2-td16959043.html Sounds like there is a packaging problem. Tried going back to svn 1.4.5-1 instead of latest 1.4.5-2 with same result. I was wrong, there is a libexpat0 (I was looking for libxpat0). Re-installing it seems to fix the problem. Ok, I've now fixed this. (I probably should have gone ahead and done so when I first noticed it but I didn't want to risk treading on anyone's toes until I'd at least mentioned it first on the list.)

coreutils-6.11-1 in release-2 area
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I've finally finished a build of coreutils 6.11, and uploaded it to the release-2 area. It makes heavy use of the openat() family of functions. It also exercises the improved statvfs interface; I was able to remove the cygwin-specific hack for df -T. It fixes the bug with rm -rf 'dir ' that I recently reported on the -devel list, but I am still waiting on a cygwin1.dll fix for mkdir 'dir /' to correctly munge the trailing space. Note that .exe magic is slightly different, in part due to different underlying semantics. For example, now that 'foo.' and 'foo' are separate files, it is much tougher to decide whether 'foo' and 'foo.exe' are the same file, or whether a directory has both files at once. Likewise, now that open() sees through symlinks that lack .exe suffix (for example, if /bin/ksh linked to /bin/pdksh instead of /bin/pdksh.exe), there are a lot fewer cygwin-specific patches. Additionally, I had to alter my magic to work with the new cygwin_path_conv methods, rather than the old PATH_MAX interfaces. So there will probably be issues and/or regressions; please report them on this list, and I will try to fix them before cygwin 1.7.0 goes live. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!

Re: auto complete history

Re: Feature request: rm to recycle bin
Given that the code for sending to recycyle bin is already in place, may I request that a command line option be added to rm and rmdir to send all files to the bin? This would be extremely handy for use in scripts, to me at the very least. The code to move files into the bin is an underlying, hidden feature of the unlink(2), rmdir(2) and rename(2) POSIX calls. The rm(1) tool has no access to this functionality and there's no intention to add a non-POSIX API to allow any tool to use it. There is a library called libtrash that implements a trash can for GNU/Linux by intercepting the above calls: http://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~marriaga/software/libtrash/ . No one has packaged it for Cygwin. It requires the use of LD_PRELOAD, which I believe is supposed to work in Cygwin, although I've never tried to use it. Hm... might be interesting to try... I'll look at it.

I have tried to include all sorts of libraries instead of the cygwin.dll and actually, when I include the -lpthread it compiles, but then the program crashes when I start using threads and semaphores... As I mentioned above, when I do not state -mno-cygwin, everything works fine and the program runs perfectly! But then it needs the cygwin.dll, of course... I found a few references to this on the web, mostly promoting the compiler directive -D __CYGWIN__ which I have tried, but to no avail... Below is a snippet of output from the linker. I hope this will make sense to somebody out there, who can tell me what to include in my linker statement... Thank you very much in advance! Best regards, Thor List [Linker output snipped] Thor, You have to use -mno-cygwin for the whole compilation, not just for the link line, otherwise the wrong headers get picked up. IOW, don't add -mno-cygwin to LDFLAGS -- instead, redefine CXX='g++ -mno-cygwin' (and CC='gcc -mno-cygwin') and rebuild everything from scratch. Igor I have a similar problem that the one related below, but when I try to above compile everything with the -mno-cygwin option, I get many errors such as: 'error: u_int32_t has not been declared I suppose that, if I don´t want to use cygwin.dll, I should add some libraries to the compiling and linking process, but I don´t know wich. Could you help me?? Thank you very much, Jesús Oliva You may need headers that define the above types, or you may be unable to compile the code with -mno-cygwin if those headers are not present in MinGW. Remember, -mno-cygwin means no Cygwin -- you're using MinGW, and will only be able to compile programs that MinGW has enough support for.

Unable to run sshd under a domain sshd_server account
I am having problems setting up sshd to run under a domain sshd_server account instead of a local sshd_server account. Why do I want to do that? Because in the default install, starting a cygwin shell from the console gives me a much different environment and permissions than if I start a cygwin shell via ssh. For example, from a console shell on the Windows 2003 Server: $ echo $USER tschutter $ echo $USERNAME tschutter $ echo $HOSTNAME fdsvbld01sgrape $ echo $USERDOMAIN FLOODDATA $ id uid=18718(tschutter) gid=10513(Domain Users) groups=544(Administrators),545(Users),10513(Domain Users),18169(FDSV-GG-PrxBLD),22611(FDSV-GG-PrxPCAdmins) $ ls //other/f$ Data RECYCLERSystem\ Volume\ Information But when I login via ssh: $ echo $USER tschutter $ echo $USERNAME sshd_server $ echo $HOSTNAME fdsvbld01sgrape $ echo $USERDOMAIN FDSVBLD01SGRAPE $ id uid=18718(tschutter) gid=10513(Domain Users) groups=545(Users),10513(Domain Users) $ ls //other/f$ ls: cannot access //other/f$: Permission denied The sshd server was setup using ssh-host-config --yes. So it appears that when I login via ssh, I am logged in as a local user, not a domain user. Also, when logged in via ssh, I am not in the Administrators, FDSV-GG-PrxBLD, and FDSV-GG-PrxPCAdmins groups. As a side note, I would think that USERNAME being set to sshd_server is a bug. It appears that the solution is to create a domain sshd_server account and run sshd as that user. So I created a domain account called fdsv-sa-prx-sshdsrvr. I gave this account the required rights: $ editrights -a SeCreateTokenPrivilege -u fdsv-sa-prx-sshdsrvr $ editrights -a SeTcbPrivilege -u fdsv-sa-prx-sshdsrvr $ editrights -a SeDenyInteractiveLogonRight -u fdsv-sa-prx-sshdsrvr $ editrights -a SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u fdsv-sa-prx-sshdsrvr $ editrights -a SeDenyRemoteInteractiveLogonRight -u fdsv-sa-prx-sshdsrvr $ editrights -a SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege -u fdsv-sa-prx-sshdsrvr $ editrights -a SeServiceLogonRight -u fdsv-sa-prx-sshdsrvr I added fdsv-sa-prx-sshdsrvr to local Administrators group. I changed the ownership of the /etc/ssh files and /var/empty: $ chown fdsv-sa-prx-sshdsrvr /etc/ssh* /var/empty I changed the log on account for the CYGWIN sshd service to the fdsv-sa-prx-sshdsrvr account.

Is rxvt getting them from compiled-in values, or is it getting them from somewhere else? (I also terminated all CygWin processes, started bash, and ran rxvt to see if CygWin somehow was emulating xrdb's behavior (of reading the X11 defaults) some other way, but there was still no difference.) In any case, that still leaves unanswered the question of what makes rvxt switch between normally spaced black characters on a white background vs. widely spaced yellow on blue. What else does rxvt read? Does rxvt switch to some more-basic default (i.e., the black-on-white setting rather than the yellow-on-blue setting) if it can't find something it's looking for?

So what sshd does is invoke processes with the appropriate token privileges for the user it's impersonating, while updating internal Cygwin data structures, but still running as sshd_server. So Cygwin sees the right user (in its internal state), but Windows processes, of course, don't. The application event log has this error message: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( sshd ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: sshd: PID 2068: service `sshd' failed: signal 11 raised. Oops -- a segfault. This is definitely a bug somewhere -- no matter what, sshd should not segfault. First, I am sorry that I broke the original thread. I was not subscribed to the list when I made the first post, so I was unable to reply to that thread. There is a way to do this with the help of the archives. I've posted the recipe multiple times -- you should be able to find it in the archives. I solved the problem. I had missed the /var/log files when changing ownership to the new domain sshd_server account. The chown command above should be: chown fdsv-sa-prx-sshdsrvr /etc/ssh* /var/empty /var/log/lastlog /var/log/sshd.log Now the sshd server starts, and when I login my id is correct, and I can view shares: $ echo $USERDOMAIN FLOODDATA $ id uid=18718(tschutter) gid=10513(Domain Users) groups=544(Administrators),545(Users),10513(Domain Users),18169(FDSV-GG-PrxBLD),22611(FDSV-GG-PrxPCAdmins) $ ls //other/f$ Data RECYCLERSystem\ Volume\ Information Note that my USERNAME is still wrong: $ echo $USERNAME fdsv-sa-prx-sshdsrvr See above. Although this method of creating and using a domain sshd_server account is not one of the recommended workarounds, it appears to work. In the other thread, Larry Hall pointed me to the FAQ http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.shares. One of the suggestions was to provide your password to a net use command. I was unable to make that work, because net use never asks for my password: $ net use \\other\f$ System error 67 has occurred. The network name cannot be found. See net help use: The syntax of this command is: NET USE [devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]] ... password Is the password needed to access the shared resource. *Produces a prompt for the password. The password is not displayed when you type it at the password prompt. So, you need to type net use '\\other\f$' \* (note the escaped/quoted '*'), and it'll prompt you for the password. As Larry Hall pointed out in the other thread, the cyglsa dll should solve this problem and I look forward to trying it out when 1.7.x is available. I am not ready to jump to snapshots at this time.

Daniel Barclay wrote: Well, I didn't specify anything. I haven't touched any of /etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt, ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources, or given any options on the command line Iused to invoke rxvt. I am using whatever the CygWin packages and installer installed on my machine, which evidently changes in non-intuitive ways when I re-run it to modify the combinations of packages I have installed even though I'm not (consciously) touching any X11 or font-related packages). No. There is something else going on, but Ruby does NOT affect rxvt. However, I suggest rather than blindly re-installing/un-installing packages at random, you instead read the documentation. /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-20050409.README Just now, I tried installing the ruby package, and as soon as I started rxvt, it started in messed-up form--widely spaced characters, in yellow, on a dark blue background--rather than the way it started immediately before--normally spaced characters, in black, on a white background. before == default when rxvt can't find, and is not explicitly given, any configuration information at all. after == rxvt found the default system app-defaults file (/etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt) but you do not have the fonts that it specifies. Either install the bitstream vera fonts in your Windows sytem, (e.g. go to Control Panel/Fonts... http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ttf-bitstream-vera/1.10/ Or change the specified font. You can do the latter by editing the /etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt file itself, or overriding it for your particular account by (1) creating a ~/.Xdefaults file that specifies a different font (2) explicitly starting rxvt with the '-fn some font' option Does that color change give any hints regarding what's happening (what unrelated thing got modified when I re-ran cygwin.exe to install Ruby)? My guess is that rxvt's own postinstall script, which is supposed to copy /etc/defaults/etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt into the actual /etc/X11/app-defaults/ directory failed the first time you ran setup. Then second time you ran setup, it tried again to run all the post-install scripts that had not yet succeeded. This second time, it worked, and you are now the proud owner of an /etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt file, which rxvt.exe now finds. Hmm. Those colors seem to match what's in /etc/defaults/etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt: Rxvt*background:#40 Rxvt*foreground:#bf Rxvt*scrollBar:true Rxvt*scrollBar_right: true Rxvt*font:-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal--*-160-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1 Rxvt*boldfont:-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-bold-r-normal--*-160-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1 Rxvt*saveLines: 1 !Rxvt*loginshell:true Rxvt.backspacekey: ^H What's the command to determine which cygwin package installs that file? cygcheck -f /etc/defaults/etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt which will tell you it is, perhaps unsurprisingly, installed by the rxvt package. However, that is the *default* version of the file. The actual file that is used by rxvt at runtime is in /etc/X11/app-defaults/, not in /etc/defaults/etc/X11/app-defaults/. It is copied from one location to the other by (again, surprise!) the rxvt post-installation script, which is automatically executed by setup.exe the first time you install the rxvt package -- or every time you run setup.exe, until the script succeeds if there were unexpected problems. Is there a dependency problem in that that package does not depend on the package containing the font that that first package depends on? No. Most importantly, how to I get rvxt to work right (and consistently)? Change the two lines that start with Rxvt*font and Rxvt*boldfont in /etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt with the following (or override using ~/.Xdefaults). Each entry should be all on one line, and mind the space between Lucida and Console (ditto Courier and New): Either Rxvt*font: -outline-Lucida Console-normal-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1 Rxvt*boldfont: -outline-Lucida Console-bold-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1 Or Rxvt*font: -outline-Courier New-normal-r-*-*-16-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1 Rxvt*boldfont: -outline-Courier New-bold-r-*-*-16-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1 Alternatively, you can specify the font on the command line (but there, you have to use windows names for the fonts, not the XLFD names above. That is, rxvt.exe -fn Lucida Console-14 ... or rxvt.exe -fn Courier New-16 -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Daniel Barclay wrote: I still don't understand what's going on with rxvt. When I modify or remove /etc/defaults/etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt, nothing changes. Correct. Because that is the *default* file (that's why it is underneath /etc/defaults/). The actual file used at runtime is over in /etc/X11/app-defaults/. On one hand, that makes sense--I'm not (knowingly) running X11. On the other hand, it's a little strange that rxvt is still using the colors given in that file. Is rxvt getting them from compiled-in values, or is it getting them from somewhere else? It's getting them from /etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt. rxvt parses the X11/app-defaults file itself, and does not rely on the Xserver's 'xrdb' (resource management) to do it. (I also terminated all CygWin processes, started bash, and ran rxvt to see if CygWin somehow was emulating xrdb's behavior (of reading the X11 defaults) some other way, but there was still no difference.) Because nothing (that matters) changed. /etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt was still there, and rxvt itself read the contents. In any case, that still leaves unanswered the question of what makes rvxt switch between normally spaced black characters on a white background vs. widely spaced yellow on blue. Hopefully my other message answered this question (and those that followed which I've snipped out). -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
