Course 
Overview
Several 
phone lines are ringing, lights on the phone are blinking, coworkers are asking 
questions, and here comes a customer or client. How does the person manning the 
front desk of an office handle several people simultaneously with 
professionalism and poise? This fast-paced course is specifically designed to 
answer this and other important questions for those who work as an 
organization’s first-impression representative at the front desk. In addition 
to 
learning the elements of effective verbal and visual communication, 
participants 
will find out how to expertly satisfy even the most demanding, difficult 
visitors without jeopardizing their performance.
Program 
Objectives
At 
the program’s conclusion, participants should be able to:
Describe 
  the components of a professional image at the front 
  desk.
Understand 
  that their workspace is an extension of themselves and should reflect a 
  professional image as well.
Manage 
  all communication with clarity, accuracy, and courtesy.
Improve 
  verbal communication with those they meet face to face.
Interpret 
  the body language of others to determine how best to communicate with 
  them.
Minimize 
  interruptions caused by visitors and coworkers in a tactful yet determined 
  way.
Implement 
  strategies for dealing politely and successfully with discourteous, 
demanding, 
  or dissatisfied visitors.
Explain 
  precautionary steps they should take in emergency situations that might 
  compromise the safety of everyone in the workplace.
Develop 
  a personal action plan to improve both their image and their skills at the 
  front desk.
The 
following outline highlights some of the course’s key learning points. 

Workshop 
Outline
Best 
Foot Forward: Features of a Professional Image
In 
this introductory discussion, participants will discuss the components that 
make 
for a first-class impression. Using an array of visual examples, the 
facilitator 
will help participants discover both obvious and subtle signals front-desk 
employees give before saying a single word when encountering others. By 
examining the outward signs of those with a polished presence, they will have a 
better sense of steps they can take immediately to create a professional image 
for themselves and their organization.
 
One 
Step Back: What Will Ruin the Image?
In 
this part of the workshop, participants will learn the behaviors and habits 
that 
can destroy not only their image but that of their organization. They will see 
how body language, mannerisms, appearance, and personal grooming considerations 
can enhance or destroy their credibility. Also, they will see the physical 
space 
they occupy at work is an important part of their image that should not be 
neglected. We will also discuss techniques and tools for clearing and 
organizing 
desk space, managing paper, and maintaining a professional 
environment. 
 
Whose 
Line Is It Anyway? : Taking and Making Calls like a 
Pro
As 
important as it is to project professionalism in person, it is just as 
important 
to do so over the telephone. In this seminar segment, participants will learn 
how to convey a positive image over the phone by using appropriate greetings 
that are warm and welcoming. They will find out ways to put callers on hold 
politely and learn alternatives to keeping them on hold indefinitely. The 
facilitator will also share strategies for taking messages quickly and 
accurately, transferring calls with ease and grace, and ending calls with 
overly 
talkative callers without appearing abrupt or rude.
 
Beyond 
Words: What the Body Says
Posture, 
arm placement, hand gestures, and 

Setup problem (2.889 32-bit)

[David Lee]

I tried to perform a clean Cygwin installation and encountered a
problem with package versions.

Steps
-

1. Download setup.exe.
2. Run it.
3. At "Cygwin Net Release Setup Program", click next.
3. Choose "Install From Internet". Click next.
4. Pick a root directory. Click next.
5. Pick a local package directory. Click next.
6. Pick a internet connection suitable for you (I had to choose "system proxy").
   Click next.
7. Pick a download site. Click next (I tried http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp
and http://mirrors.kernel.org).
8. Let setup download setup.ini.
9. On the "Select Packages" screen, pick bsdtar. Click next. (There is
nothing special about bsdtar; you can pick any packages that have
liblz4_1 as dependency; see below).

10. On the "Review and Confirm changes" screen, notice there are some
automatically pulled packages. One of them is "liblz4_1", at version
"131-1". However, the current version is "1.7.5-1". You can see by
going back to the previous screen and click on the "liblz4_1" package.

Is there some reason that the setup program downloaded a previous
version instead the current one for liblz4_1? Thanks for helping.

David.

I don't think it's a problem; I am testing for MSYS.  The change
is now in git in posix/gawkmisc.c.

Re: setup: problems with local install

There are two problems with installing from a local directory.

1. In the Category view, "No packages found" is displayed where it 
should say "All" in the first line of the list.  This is probably just a 
cosmetic issue, and I haven't tried to track it down yet.


This actually happens in all setup runs, not just local installs.  It 
looks like it was caused by the rearranging that was done in the 
following commit:


commit 0c539f7f7d86fb100f260f21367682fa2c0bb529

Date:   Sat Nov 4 18:01:49 2017 +

Correctly order preparing packagedb for chooser

I think the problem might be that createListview() is now called too 
early in ChooserPage::OnInit().  But it's not immediately obvious to me 
how to fix this without breaking something else.

I agree it is likely the system but it is curious that the only program that 
readily displays the problem is dos2unix (and unix2dos and mac2unix and 
unix2mac - I tried them).  

I looked for recent similar issues and only found 
https://superuser.com/questions/1297658/folder-names-become-uppercase-when-syncing-to-fat32-drive
So if other users of this Win10 build start tripping on this same problem and 
reporting it, it may get looked at by MS.
If RedHat has some dev contacts, you might have more luck highlighting the 
issue than riffraff like us.

Fergus: Looking at the first trace file, the very last rename operation looks 
to be where the final filename is established.  If you were to compile a short 
program doing exactly that call will little else, you might confirm a minimal 
reproduceable case.

Here's one last variation:
E:\junk>ls > Abc.txt12

E:\junk>dos2unix Abc.txt12
dos2unix: converting file Abc.txt12 to Unix format...

E:\junk>ls
Abc.txt12

The target name is not 8dot3 conforming and all case is preserved.  Same with  
Abcdefghijkl.txt

The target name seems to only fail when it looks to be 8dot3 conforming.

https://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PCYMTNQREAIYR (see  above, which
wasn’t redacted in your reply).
(And Arnold, you did the same thing with Corinna’s email address.)

Keep in mind that it was Corinna answering the question. Given the subject of 
this
discussion, and that Corinna gave the answer, he doesn’t really need to “avoid
relying on __CYGWIN__”.

Keep in mind that you should avoid relying on __CYGWIN__ if possible.
Only if certain POSIX mandated functionality could not be implemented at all
using WinAPI you may go for this macro to work around compatibility issues.

Thanks.  The culprit is really most likely the system.  Cygwin never
observes or uses an all-uppercase name while doing its thing.

setup: problems with local install

[Ken Brown]

This is a followup to the thread started here:

  https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-03/msg00027.html

There are two problems with installing from a local directory.

1. In the Category view, "No packages found" is displayed where it 
should say "All" in the first line of the list.  This is probably just a 
cosmetic issue, and I haven't tried to track it down yet.


2. In several of the views, all packages from setup.ini are listed, even 
if there is no corresponding archive in the local directory.  What 
happens is that packagemeta::scan() calls pkg.source()->sites.clear() 
for such packages, but this information is never used to prevent the 
package from appearing in the list.


It used to be that such packages would be declared inaccessible, but 
SolvableVersion::accessible() no longer does this.


Jon, you wrote the following comment in the definition of 
SolvableVersion::accessible():


"The 'accessible' check used to test if an archive was available locally 
or from a mirror.  This seems utterly pointless as binary packages which 
aren't 'accessible' never get to appear in the package list."


Do we need to reinstate the old function of the accessibility check?

As far as I _understand_ the issue, the *lz4* packages are the only ones left,
which present the same problem as cscope does

I glanced over setup.ini and compared the packages with "replace-version:" with
the entry for cscope ... Only the *lz4* packages stood out within that context.

 From override.hint on the "Twente" mirror:

curr: 15.8b-1
prev: 15.8.0.1-2
replace-versions: 15.8.0.1-2

As far as understand, setup should attempt to install v15.8b1
in case v15.8.0.1-2 is installed.

Not the other way around. (currently v15.8b-1 in installed).


Yeah, this isn't working as expected. Time for a bigger hammer...

The previous version has been re-designated as 15.8a-2 (to match what
it identifies itself as with 'cscope -V').

This should make setup update to the most recent version, while still
allowing the previous version to be offered as installable...


Uhm, bigger hammer ... you mean your modification will solve the problem
for cscope, but not for f.i. the *lz4* packages?


Sigh.  I thought I had fixed lz4 [1], but apparently not, it suffers 
from the same class of problem (briefly, replace-versions: doesn't work 
on versions which are also offered for installation)


These are the only other packages which I am aware of which suffer from 
this specific problem, and I'm not sure I want to fix those in the same way.


If you think there are other package which have this problem can you 
please tell me what they are...

But `mv ZOT.TXT Zot.txt' works?

Can you strace this like this after renaming the file back to Zot.txt

  $ strace -o d2u.trace dos2unix -n Zot.txt Zot.txt

and send the d2u.trace file to this list?


Thanks,

[newlib-cygwin] Cygwin: move sun_name_t constructors into fhandler_socket_unix.cc

[Corinna Vinschen]

https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=newlib-cygwin.git;h=ae67198d55bf5bab903eb01d049f15d7a35c38ba

commit ae67198d55bf5bab903eb01d049f15d7a35c38ba
Author: Corinna Vinschen 
Date:   Mon Mar 5 18:08:47 2018 +0100

Cygwin: move sun_name_t constructors into fhandler_socket_unix.cc

They are only used there anyway and it allows to use the AF_UNIX
macro without tweaking header files.  While at it, improve
both constructors.  The default constructor now creates the name
of an unnamed socket, the constructor taking parameters carefully
checks its input.

Nope - that works ok.  (BTW - you were fast on the reply!)

I did try:
E:\>dos2unix -n Zot.txt Foo.txt
dos2unix: converting file Zot.txt to file Foo.txt in Unix format...
E:\>ls
 Foo.txtZot.txt

I thought using -n might suffice as a quick workaround for Fergus so I tried:

E:\>dos2unix -n Zot.txt Zot.txt
dos2unix: converting file Zot.txt to file Zot.txt in Unix format...
E:\>ls
 Foo.txt  ZOT.TXT

Nuts!  So the problem manifests if the input and output files are the same 
whether using -n or not.  (Sorry Fergus - no workaround.)

As an aside, I experimented with "ed" to change a file and re-write it 
presuming it might behave as dos2nix - nope - it preserved mixed case ok.

The connect state was stored in a bitfield which is not safe
to do atomic operations on.

You appeared to be unfamiliar with a long time well known global ISP, and the
commonly used term webmail. Most posters on this group try to be helpful to
others in this international forum, where many posters native language is not
English, although that may not be obvious, use Cygwin as a tool do do their job,
and may be unfamiliar with common conventions.

Changing subjects is merely a question of style, and as with other preferences
like editors, languages, cultures, etc., and beliefs like religion and politics,
should be reserved for forums where that is on topic, and if disagreed with,
done so with due consideration, without being disagreeable.

The troll is the person who disrupts the on topic technical problem discussion
with minor off topic nitpicks about clarifying additions to subjects, and those
changes causing issues with *their* mail client, that is not apparent to anyone
using a mail client which handles threads using message ids and references.

As I use a mail client, those characters are actually spaces in the raw
messages, however for rendering as HTML on Cygwin.com/sourceware.org web mailing
lists, for horizontal spacing the site uses standard Unicode \u00a0 ' ' no-break
space utf-8 \xc2 \xa0 character entity rendered as a space, but "raw text" does
not appear to be the original message content, but appears to convert the HTML
content to utf-8 regardless of the message encoding charset, resulting in
Unicode \ufffd '�' replacement character utf-8 \xef \xbf \xbd.

I have been using utf-8 character encodings for years to handle information from
my own and other cultures more transparently, replaced components which do not
support it with alternatives which do, and been annoyed at how long it has taken
to get only this far, pushing against those struggling to retain their small
proprietary markets rather than contest an open global market.

I have the same build 16299.248 and I get the same behaviour.
Perhaps consider: http://www.zoneutils.com/regtricks/filesystem.htm
for parameters to experiment with.  You can use fsutil to control some of these 
to avoid direct registry modifications.
I expect it is more subtle otherwise the pervasive nature of the flags would 
mean that any file creation would result in UC names, not just dos2unix.

My dos2unix is version 7.3.5
Cygcheck -V is 2.9.0

Re: Add emacs build with LUCID X toolkit ?

vfork issues almost always indicate a need to do a full rebase.  See

  https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.fixing-fork-failures .

Or switch from 32-bit Cygwin to 64-bit Cygwin, where such problems are
extremely rare.


Maybe add a new emacs-lucid package ?


Cygwin's emacs uses GTK+ because that's the default for an emacs build
on all unix-like platforms.  But I'll think about adding an
emacs-lucid package for the next emacs release.  It would be good to
know how much demand there is for this.  Are there other emacs-X11
users who would prefer the Lucid toolkit?



As an avid emacs user I have no desire to switch to emacs-lucid. If the 
extra work to provide both packages is limited, it would not hurt to 
have both packages though.

Re: Add emacs build with LUCID X toolkit ?

[Keith Christian]

Ken,

I use Emacs infrequently, but others might start using it if an
emacs-lucid build means a better performing Emacs on Cygwin.

You'd have Alejandro as a happy customer  (-:

vfork issues almost always indicate a need to do a full rebase.  See

  https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.fixing-fork-failures .

Or switch from 32-bit Cygwin to 64-bit Cygwin, where such problems are 
extremely rare.



Maybe add a new emacs-lucid package ?


Cygwin's emacs uses GTK+ because that's the default for an emacs build 
on all unix-like platforms.  But I'll think about adding an emacs-lucid 
package for the next emacs release.  It would be good to know how much 
demand there is for this.  Are there other emacs-X11 users who would 
prefer the Lucid toolkit?

Re: [bug-gawk] gawk Regression: CR characters are not stripped on Windows

[arnold]

Is there a way to distinguish cygwin from msys at compile time?
I would not object to restoring the behavior for msys only.

Thanks,

Add emacs build with LUCID X toolkit ?

[Alejandro Benitez]

Hi,
I often painstakingly work on my build of emacs and never look back, praying to 
never come back, but then I get some annoyances such as vfork issues I can't 
fix. I will go further on this in a different post.

So, if there's anyone related to the Cygwin's emacs package, pretty please 
change the widget choice from gtk to lucid / athena, it adds a lot more power 
to emacs. Otherwise, every time you close the X Server, emacs running in server 
mode will crash due to a longstanding gtk bug when X display is disconnected. 
Emacs even outputs a friendly last message with a link to the bug before 
crashing.

Emacs folks tend to have an eternal emacs server instance running on their PCs 
that often / can endure killing the Windows console session and then resuming 
it at your next logon or just keep the fun via ssh. We can't do this with 
Cygwin's emacs package, so it needs to build emacs yourself. Maybe add a new 
emacs-lucid package ? And really I guess most emacs users just remove 
tool-bars, menu-bars, scroll-bars first thing in their config file and use the 
keyboard. Thanks!

Same request to Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1471258

Thanks for reporting this.

 From override.hint on the "Twente" mirror:

curr: 15.8b-1
prev: 15.8.0.1-2

As far as understand, setup should attempt to install v15.8b1
in case v15.8.0.1-2 is installed.

Not the other way around. (currently v15.8b-1 in installed).


Yeah, this isn't working as expected. Time for a bigger hammer...

The previous version has been re-designated as 15.8a-2 (to match what
it identifies itself as with 'cscope -V').

This should make setup update to the most recent version, while still
allowing the previous version to be offered as installable...


Uhm, bigger hammer ... you mean your modification will solve the problem
for cscope, but not for f.i. the *lz4* packages?

Re: sed seems to force UC filename on Mixed 8.3 filenames on FAT32

[Fergus Daly]

>> ..."or operation on FAT32 was changed by Windows updates."

Starting to look exactly like that. On Windows 7 there is no problem.
On earlier W10 machines in this office there is no problem. My machine
underwent a massive (time-consuming) update on or around 13-FEB to
Microsoft Windows Version 1709 Build 16299.248]
from the previous
Microsoft Windows Version 1703 Build 15063.936]
and the troubles began then:

~> touch TryThis.TxT
~> ls T*
TryThis.TxT
~> dos2unix TryThis.TxT
dos2unix: converting file TryThis.TxT to Unix format...
~> ls T*
TRYTHIS.TXT

This on a FAT32 stick. (Can anybody confirm this behaviour?) So I'm
guessing Windows has revised its default mount shortname syntax for
VFAT. Is there a way I can climb in and alter / override that, does
anybody know?
