Re: Clipboard integration does not work with XDMCP
Thank you very much for your prompt intervention. I can confirm that your fix works for me too. I see that now, in the log, lines like the followings are appearing: client(60): Released pid(-1). client(60): Released cmdline(NULL) and cmdargs(NULL). client(60): Reserved pid(-1). client(60): Reserved cmdname(NULL) and cmdargs(NULL). AllocNewConnection: client index = 3, socket fd = 13 I guess you raised the trace/log levels for debug/reporting purposes, so probably this is not relevant.

Re: Want to build Win32 API code and Posix API code in Cygwin
Greetings, Qw Liu! I have legacy code (part A) written in Posix API that I want to port to Windows, and there is also some other necessary code (part B) written in Win32 API, but seems that I cannot use GCC on Cygwin to build them (A and B) together to get the executable program, since I met issue like header missing for Win32 API . Is there any other method to resolve such problem? I considerred to build part B as dll first and build with part A on Cygwin. Is that okay? My Crystal Ball is in service - overheated again... WHAT header you are missing, exactly? And before you answer that, you do aware, that mixing POSIX and Windows native API calls is generally considered not a very good idea, right? Depends on the kind of mix (stirred, not shaken?), you may be on a very sharp edge of things. Without looking at your code, one possible solution is to push all platform-dependent code into a separate library, and load it at runtime. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@yandex.ru) 24.02.2014, 13:49 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

The new behavior is in the latest snapshot. http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ cgf Hi Christopher, Thank you very much for your interest. But I have to say, it's now worse than it was before. I'm using the latest snapshot (2014-02-24). My findings: 1. Clear screen (CTRL + L) now works better, it simply scrolls to the end of the scrollback buffer and appends to it. But the screen isn't cleared, what should be the main purpose of the clear screen :) After clearing of screen, current prompt is on the most bottom line of screen with scrollback buffer above. I think that it's should be on the first line of screen and the screen bellow should be empty. So add of scroll screen_height lines down should be enough to resolve this. 2. Scrollback buffer seems to be fine until I use LESS/VIM etc. (alternative screen). Than it's messed. Alternative screen shouldn't influence the scrollback buffer, I think. 3. It's incompatible with screen (screen manager). Status line of screen is overwritten with screen content and when screen content reaches the most bottom line of screen, it doesn't scroll, so any additional content is hidden. - - - - - - - - - - I really don't know much about how that command line related things works in Linux, but could it be possible that you work with screen and scrollback buffer wrong way? I mean, maybe there are some rules, how to work with screen content and buffer, so it would work everywhere (e.g. in the screen manager) rather that trying to fix bugs, write workarounds and hacks. I wonder that nobody else have similar issues, because this is absolutely essential, when you work with terminal, I think. I had none of these problems, when I was using smaller screen size. Everything started with my new laptop with HD display, because I used to have terminal window in fullscreen mode.

The new behavior is in the latest snapshot. http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ Thank you very much for your interest. But I have to say, it's now worse than it was before. I'm using the latest snapshot (2014-02-24). This wasn't my snapshot, it was Corinna's. I am still working on the problem. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

But I can hear the sound using VLC-win32 or WindowsMediaPlayer. You could try using the pulseaudio driver, but this requires a little setting up. Firstly, make sure you have speakers and a microphone connected to your PC (pulseaudio will not be able to function unless you have input and output devices connected). Then set up some permissions: chown -R username /home/username chmod 755 /home/username rm -rf /tmp/pulse* ~/.pulse-cookie ~/.config/pulse where 'username' is your user name. You will only have to do the above once. Then play your sound file: export AUDIODRIVER=pulseaudio play ding.wav And prepare to be dinged unto. When you've finished playing sounds, kill the pulseaudio server: pulseaudio -k This assumes that 'play' will start the pulseaudio server for you. If you get errors from the 'play' command, try starting the pulseaudio server manually: start-pulseaudio-x11 I know very little about pulseaudio, but the above works for me. If you still don't have any joy then you'll have to fall back to your VB wav player.

I'm using the latest snapshot (2014-02-24). This wasn't my snapshot, it was Corinna's. I am still working on the problem. That said, however. I have checked out the snapshot. My findings: 1. Clear screen (CTRL + L) now works better, it simply scrolls to the end of the scrollback buffer and appends to it. But the screen isn't cleared, what should be the main purpose of the clear screen :) After clearing of screen, current prompt is on the most bottom line of screen with scrollback buffer above. I think that it's should be on the first line of screen and the screen bellow should be empty. So add of scroll screen_height lines down should be enough to resolve this. I am aware of how clear screen is supposed to work. I obviously don't see this behavior. I tried this with a cmd window without a scrollback buffer and with a scrollback buffer at the beginning, middle, and end. You're going to need to provide details about your console layout. How many lines in your buffer? Where are you when you see this behavior? In the middle of the buffer? Absolute end of the buffer? Near the end of the buffer? I assume you're just using a cmd.exe. You've probably mentioned if you are using the 64-bit or 32-bit version but please clarify that again. 2. Scrollback buffer seems to be fine until I use LESS/VIM etc. (alternative screen). Than it's messed. Alternative screen shouldn't influence the scrollback buffer, I think. I don't see this. If you are trying to scroll the screen while in vim then see my previous observations about this, i.e., don't do that. 3. It's incompatible with screen (screen manager). Status line of screen is overwritten with screen content and when screen content reaches the most bottom line of screen, it doesn't scroll, so any additional content is hidden. I don't see any problems with screen so you're going to have to provide details about your setup. Again, however, if you are trying to use the scrollback buffer while in screen or any other full-screen utility it isn't going to work well and it has never worked well. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Re: Want to build Win32 API code and Posix API code in Cygwin
Hi Andrey, Thanks for your patient answer. Actually the code is historic legacy, and I want to have a quick try on Windows and reduce the efforts as much as possible. Code part B mainly contains some device operations, like serial port, ethernet config(not only socket), USB detection, etc, code part A mainy contain process management and FS operation, etc. I get no tchar.h, definition of gethostname conflicts like error when I build them together on Cygwin using GCC. What is your advice under such situation? Push all platform-dependent code into a separate library is another method I'm trying for long-term resolution, but is there any approach I can have a quick try w/o stbility and performance consideration? Thanks a lot and appreciated for your reply! 2014-02-24 17:55 GMT+08:00 Andrey Repin anrdae...@yandex.ru: Greetings, Qw Liu! I have legacy code (part A) written in Posix API that I want to port to Windows, and there is also some other necessary code (part B) written in Win32 API, but seems that I cannot use GCC on Cygwin to build them (A and B) together to get the executable program, since I met issue like header missing for Win32 API . Is there any other method to resolve such problem? I considerred to build part B as dll first and build with part A on Cygwin. Is that okay? My Crystal Ball is in service - overheated again... WHAT header you are missing, exactly? And before you answer that, you do aware, that mixing POSIX and Windows native API calls is generally considered not a very good idea, right? Depends on the kind of mix (stirred, not shaken?), you may be on a very sharp edge of things. Without looking at your code, one possible solution is to push all platform-dependent code into a separate library, and load it at runtime. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@yandex.ru) 24.02.2014, 13:49 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
