Fwd: xterm (not rxvt) cut and paste through xinit (not Xwin)
Hi, I have recently reinstalled the cygwin X on my xp box, now I have a problem of cut and paste from xterm to windows. The way I start X is via startx, but I was not able to enable clipboard in this case. How do I do that?

(some) xterm disappearing when typing
Hi, I ran cygwin X at work and everything works fine except one thing: we have some special command that launches an xterm to a production window via ssh/X11 tunneling. This window will disappear on me when I attempt to type into it. All my regular xterm works perfectly fine, and I don't see any logs or anything on the X server side. This used to work with my previous installation of cygwin X. Does anybody have an idea what's going on here? or even how do I diagnose this problem, since the window will disappear no matter what I type. thanks. -- 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/

Re: minTTY will not interrupt 'locked' process
I'll watch for it to occur again. Is there anything I can collect for you in this besides a ps(1) showing the process is inactive or should I just forget it for now.

I'm afraid I don't know about those locked files, but in any case this sounds more like a general Cygwin question. When you press Ctrl-C or Ctrl-\, MinTTY simply writes the corresponding control character to the pty device connecting it to its child process. The terminal driver normally turns that into a SIGINT or SIGQUIT, but applications can override that, or choose to ignore signals. Also, Cygwin can't deliver signals while a program is executing a Win32 function. Right. If a process is blocked in a situation where Cygwin isn't expecting it, like when reading a disk file, then signals won't have much effect. This is actually more than a little like what happens Linux when you try to access a file on, say, a bad disk. Signals don't allow you to stop the process there either. cgf -- 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/ -- 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/

Re: Replacing setup.exe and cygcheck with dpkg (Was: Re: cygcheck typo in both manpage and --help)
On Mar 9 19:08, Sjors Gielen wrote: I think I checked how Cygwin implements fork() a while ago, can't really remember though. But on a fork(), do processes inherit all information on dll's, et cetera? Or do they reload the dll and re-check the addresses of entry points and all? Very basically, the executable is started again via CreateProcess, then Cygwin copies the parent's data segments into the child. The important faxct here is that the actual load process of the child is done by the Windows loader. If you changed the Cygwin DLL in the meantime, the new process will load the new Cygwin DLL, not the old one. From there it goes downhill because the data layout of the new DLL is different from the layout in the old DLL loaded with the parent process. I *think* this cygfoo1_2_3.dll system does not work with the Cygwin dll itself, because that all still happens completely outside of Cygwin scope Yes. This happens because we're using Windows API and thus Windows loader to load processes. The Windows API simply hasn't been designed to fork. That's why Cygwin has to do all the tricky and not very performant stuff before and after loading a process. Actually the native NT API is capable to fork a process and that's used, for instance, in Interix. However, Interix is its entire self-contained POSIX subsystem, distinct from Windows, while Cygwin processes are running inside of the Windows subsystem. Unfortunately important parts of the API used to attach a new process to the Windows subsystem are not documented.

Utility installation problem - diff (diffutils)
When we installed Cygwin, we noticed that the diff utility wasn't installed by default. We then installed diffutils, and diff crashed when a run was attempted from the Cygwin shell. From the Windows command prompt, it gave an error missing dll (cygintl-2.dll). We tried to find cygintl-2.dll in the cygwin web, and it is supposed to be in libintl2 package. We looked in a mirror site, and that package wasn't there. We then installed the Red Hat version, which included that file (cygintl-2.dll), so we copied it to the normal cygwin installation, and diff worked!

Re: Replacing setup.exe and cygcheck with dpkg
I've succesfully ported dpkg. In a few weeks time, I'll start working on my Debian Cygwin project again, I'm currently busy with other things - but maybe you could take a look at my dpkg changes and see if you can make a Cygwin-dpkg which is compatible with cygcheck and setup.exe. Dpkg is very easy to use, as is apt-get which I was busy porting before I stopped temporarily. As a Debian user, I love dpkg and apt-get. As a Cygwin packager, I shudder to think of the amount of work I'd have to do to port all of my packages to them. It's not just dpkg; it's the whole debhelp suite that comes along with it for packaging. Excellent tools, but far more complex than our current tarball packaging system, and with a correspondingly higher barrier to entry for packagers. It's hard for me to imagine all of us packagers going to all of the work to move over, when the current system seems to be working fine. And new packagers would be scared away in droves, where the current system makes it pretty easy for a new packager to roll up his or her first new package. setup.exe and tarball packages have the very strong advantages that they work, they're already built, and they're easy for packagers and users to use. If we're moving to something else, there needs to be a pretty strong reason IMO. Not that I don't appreciate the effort-- as I said, dpkg and apt-get are excellent tools. Maybe they have a niche to fill in Cygwin.

Re: enlarge MAXSYMLINKS
Again about symbolic links, here is some new inputs: 1) MAXSYMLINKS is no longer used in modern Cygwin's; indeed, cygwin-1.5.25-15 uses MAX_LINK_DEPTH and cygwin-1.7.0-42 uses SYMLOOP_MAX; both are set to 10 (in ./winsup/cygwin/path.h for 1.5 and in ./winsup/cygwin/include/limits.h for 1.7) 2) whether the filesystem is NTFS or not makes no difference; whether the symlinks are created using winsymlinks or nowinsymlinks makes no difference 3) the only clean way to make cygwin1.dll accept a chain of 32 symlinks (instead of 10) is through recompilation 4) for those interested in not-so-clean items, the following may also work - for 1.5.25-15 (this one i have tested) - cd /usr/bin - cat cygwin1.dll | perl -pi -e 's|\203\275\224\371\377\377\012| \203\275\224\371\377\377\040|' cygwin1.dll.new - check that cksum before is 3685478250 - check that cksum after is 3302069714 - set the appropriate permissions/owners/groups etc. on cygwin1.dll.new - from outside Cygwin (eg. from Windows): - rename cygwin1.dll into cygwin1.dll.old - rename cygwin1.dll.new into cygwin1.dll - for 1.7.0-42 (this one i have not tested, please report if fails) - same as before, with the -e expression replaced by -e 's|\203\275\344\355\377\377\013| \203\275\344\355\377\377\041|' - how you can find these strings yourself: 1) either - objdump -d cygwin1.dll - look for path_conv::check(...) - search into those 1000 lines, trying to make the names to match - try 2) or - recompile with SYMLOOP_MAX set to 10 (result1) - recompile with SYMLOOP_MAX set to 10 (result2) - recompile with SYMLOOP_MAX set to 32 (result3) - compare result1 and result2 to discover the impact of current time in the result - compare result1 and result3 and eliminate the impact of current time - (make sure that compilation options are the same as originally) 5) i would also make the following suggestions: 1) to enhance cygcheck to report whether a given symlink is implemented as a Windows'shortcut or as an adhoc Cygwin symlink (although this can be seen easily from outside Windows) 2) to use #define SYMLOOP_MAX 32 in future Cygwin-1.7 Hope this helps, Denis Excoffier. -- 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/

Re: UPDATE: Active FTP Issue with inetutils 1.5
I'm currently in the process of rebuilding all of my packages; inetutils is on the list and I'm making good progress plowing through that list. So, I should be able to get to it soon; most likely within the next week or two. Thank you for doing such a thorough job tracking this down. I saw your first message on this topic, and frankly I had no idea why the behavior changed from 1.3.x, nor if it was intentional upstream. Sergey was the right person to answer your quesstion, and I'm glad you followed thru on that. -- Chuck Thanks for the response. The reason that I dug into this is that this impacted the customers we service remotely. We've also noticed the certain implementations of Sonic firewalls create the same issue but in their case they are proxying FTP more so than just passing it though... I think. This FTP issue also impacted access lists on Cisco routers and probably others. An access-list is dumb but has the ability to allow the ftp-data port to come back through. This is just a dumb access list looking at the source or destination with port 20. Firewalls don't have this issue because the inspect the PORT command on the control channel to allow the data connection back the port specified. Since we use inetutils ftpd and we have access lists in certain places we've had to redo our access lists and do all the inspection of these things at our firewalls. If you think about what this does on FTP is you see an IP connecting to another IP and both are using high order random ports. That makes it almost impossible to implement any kind of security without doing packet inspection. We have customers that may only have low end gear and use access lists so we're trying not to impact our customers by this. Anyway I thank you for your help and hope that you'll be able to have a new fix for this soon. I realize this is all on a voluntary basis so I appreciate the effort on your end to maintain and port the code. It's a great package.

Upgrade woes (file in use)
During a recent upgrade of about a dozen packages, I saw the Cygwin setup window progress normally (deleting package xyz...), and then up popped a window that said: In-use files detected Unable to extract /etc/postinstall/bash.sh -- the file is in use. Please stop all Cygwin processes and select 'Retry,' or select 'Continue' to go on anyway (you will need to reboot). I didn't have any Cygwin processes running, so I hit Retry, and got: Still unable to extract /etc/postinstall/bash.sh -- the file is in use. Please stop ALL Cygwin processes and select 'Retry,' or select 'Continue' to go on anyway (you will need to reboot). So I selected Continue, and the title bar of the Cygwin setup window started flashing, but nothing else happened (I remained stuck at three percent). So I rebooted the machine (definitely no Cygwin processes running now), and the same thing happened. Now, I no longer have bash (as well as many other cygwin programs). Nothing looks unusual on the machine to me. Can someone tell me what happened (and just as important, how to repair the Cygwin installation)? Thank you.

Bash sometimes writes to stdout in MS_DOS format.
I am having a very strange problem with bash 3.2.48-21 It goes like
this.
From a bash shell I invoke another bash shell as follows:
ERROR_LOG=/tmp/error.$$.log
BUILD_LOG=/tmp/build.$$.log
...
./$PRODUCT_CMD $BUILD_LOG 2$ERROR_LOG
All my files are mounted in binmode E.g.
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount)
d: on /cygdrive/d type system (binmode,noumount)
If $PRODUCT_CMD encounters an error, it will execute the following
function to write an error message to stderr and stdout and exit with a
specified non-zero exit code.
errmsg () {
# Error information is written to the stderr in the
# form of parameter settings that can be read by a
# parent shell
echo BUILD_MASTER=\$BUILD_MASTER\ 12
echo PRODUCT_ENGINEERS=\$PRODUCT_ENGINEERS\ 12
echo ERROR_MESSAGE=\$1\ 12
# Log message to stdout as well.
[ $1 != ] echo $1
[ $2 != ] exit $2
}
The parent command on getting a non-zero exit code. Does the following.
. $ERROR_LOG
Now here is the strange stuff.
1. If I start the parent script from a bash window, this all works
fine. If the child script exits with a non-zero exit code, the .
command reads the $ERROR_LOG without a problem.
2. If the parent script is started by a Windows task running as the
cygwin user, the $ERROR_LOG will SOMETIMES be written in DOS format with
CR LF line endings. It seems to depend on the depth of function nesting
at the time errmsg is invoked. It is as if bash forgets some
attribute of file descriptor 2 under some curious circumstances. This
is totally repeatable. All I have to do is induce certain errors
detectable by the child script, $PROGRAM_CMD.
I have been unable to create a simple test case that exhibits this
behavior, probably because of #1.
The scripts are pretty much platform independent and run on Linux,
Solaris and HP-UX without a problem. There are only a few things which
are platform dependent. I can of course inject a work-around if the
script is running in the cygwin environment. I am wondering if anybody
has any plausible explanation for this.
