Why does cl -l returns Administrators as owner?
This is not an only Cygwin question (I see it also in the output of the Windows version of Emacs's dired). For some files in my directories, the output of ls -l gives the Administrators as owner. This is puzzling to me because: - There is no Administrators user listed in the Windows accounts - Under Explorer/Properties/Details, the user is my domain/my user id which is what I expect I looked in the FAQ, Documentation, Google (both cygwin and emacs). This causes problems for remote activities via ssh. I cannot operate on these files, unless I do a chown to my user id. But this then changes some of the permissions as well. And this can then lead to problems down the line if not done carefully - me and my sysadmin I learned the hard way :-) Thanks, Mirko -- 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
mintty startup message: /sbin/nologin: No such file or directory
Hello, after upgrading cygwin64 on my company laptop, mintty gives the following message *when connected to the network from home*: /sbin/nologin: No such file or directory Pressing enter closes the window. I can start bash from Windows' command window. From there, I see that there is no /sbin/nologin file, heck there is no /sbin either. A couple of data points: - After the upgrade, I renamed away the /etc passwd and group files. - I was able to open mintty while connect to the network at work I have an almost identical setup on my other windows 7 desktop (always connected to the network) that does not exhibit this problem. I saw some posts from 2011 about creating my own file but I am puzzled as to why I see this on my laptop and not on my desktop. I looked in Windows logs and saw nothing. I saw nothing in /var/log Thanks, Mirko -- 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

xkcomp fails after xorg-server update - how to reinstall old version of xorg-server-1.11.3-1?
Hello, I updated today to the latest xorg-server, 1.11.4-5, and the server cannot start due to the xkcomp problem: (EE) XKB: Could not invoke xkbcomp rebasing did not help. I would like to install my prior active xorg-server version 1.11.3-1. I have the tar.bz2 file (setup does not see it). But I don't know how to properly install it and uninstall it. My guess is: - remove current version using setup. - unpack it - run the postinstall script in /etc/postinstall ... try it But if that fails, how do I properly uninstall it? Is it - run the /etc/preremove - remove all files (I can find their paths in the tar.bz2 file) Anything else? Is there a script that does the above? Thanks.

Connection reset by peer Luckily I found the 5.5 tar.bz2 file in my dist directories. Once I installed it using setup, I was able to connect using ssh (and unison) I did not see anything in the /usr/share/doc/Cygwin or /usr/share/doc/openssh/ that would point to a difference between 5.5 and 5.6, 5.8. Any thoughts on what could be causing the problem? Thanks, Mirko It turns out I solved another problem by moving to the older version of ssh. This involves a part I glossed over in the prior message: My third computer is a desktop running windows XP and I use unison to synchronize files between the three computers. This desktop is the center node of my unison universe: both the XP laptop and the Linux desktop synchronize to it. Some time ago the unison synchronization between the XP desktop (ssh 5.8) and Linux desktop (ssh 4.3) stopped working. Unison was trying to write a file DANGER.readme to the /home directory. Puzzlingly, the location is determined by the HOME variable, which points to /home/mirko Once I switched the ssh version on the central node to 5.5, this error disappeared. I wonder if the new ssh versions instead of having a new bug or feature, have uncovered a problem in my cygwin setup. On both my laptop and desktop I keep my personal files (what is usually under /home/mirko on Linux) under a plain /home. When I get a chance, I may try to change that to /home/mirko on the Windows machines as well, and then check out the behavior of ssh 5.8.

how to build gsl dll
Hi, I am trying to build a dll for gsl. I want to link it to clisp. However, when after downloading the gsl source (and I saw it being downloaded), I cannot find it (/usr/src is completely empty, and find did not return much other than many *.h files, dll's etc). On the other hand the gsl executable contains the *.a, *.dll.a and *.la files. Is there a way to convert them to the dll.a Frankly, I started dealing with libraries only about a week ago, and while I understand the .a, .so, .dll types (I think), I'm not sure about dll.a and .la.

On Sun, Feb 17, 2008 at 2:19 PM, Brian Dessent [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Mirko Vukovic wrote: I am trying to build a dll for gsl. I want to link it to clisp. Why? The Cygwin gsl packages already contains everything you need, including both shared and static versions. Install the 'gsl' package for the runtime files (the DLL) and install 'gsl-devel' for the developer files (headers, import library, static library, libtool library.) You don't have to do anything. On the other hand the gsl executable contains the *.a, *.dll.a and *.la files. Is there a way to convert them to the dll.a That doesn't make any sense. There is no need to convert anything, not that that's even possible. Frankly, I started dealing with libraries only about a week ago, and while I understand the .a, .so, .dll types (I think), I'm not sure about dll.a and .la. For a package 'foo' cygfoo-n.dll is the shared library, it goes in /usr/bin since it must be in the PATH. This is the only file that is actually used at runtime[1], as opposed to link time. n is the ABI version, if present. libfoo.dll.a is the import library for cygfoo-n.dll and it goes in /usr/lib. An import library is just an aide for the linker, it contains no actual code. libfoo.a is the static version of the library, and also goes in /usr/lib. Sometimes import libraries are also named libfoo.a too but this practice is discouraged, it's mostly legacy things like all the w32api import libs that are still named this way. Import libraries can also be renamed as foo.lib if they are to be used by the MS toolchain. libfoo.la is the libtool library, it's just a text file that describes aspects of the library and is used by libtool if you use that to link. Brian [1] Okay technically the libtool .la file could be read at runtime if the library is dlopened with libltdl, but that's probably not relevant here. Thank you. I found it: cyggsl-0.dll, cyggslcblas-0.dll in /usr/bin. Thank you very much for the explanation.

Those guys specifically tell to have DISPLAY defined before an ssh login. When I did the ssh login and tried gnuplot on the remote machine I received an error: unable to open display ''. Can you please clarify: I have a remote machine and a local machine. Which of them, if any should have DISPLAY set or not set before I attempt to login and open an X-window? Naively, I am assuming that each machine should have a DISPLAY set, for the simple reason that when I am physically at that machine, I need display in order to open x-windows. Another data point: I have a linux box. If I login from cygwin via ssh to the linux box (having DISPLAY already set on the cygwin side), I can run applications on the linux box that do open new x-windows on my cygwin machine.

Phil Betts wrote: John wrote on Friday, June 01, 2007 3:05 AM:: I finished the script I have been working on. Unfortunately, this Pee Cee version won't even finish the full data run as it crashes with Zone Alarm. Since I have a long term good relationship with Zone Alarm, I have to write off cygwin. And here are the timings I get from my Windoze cygwin machine vs. my MacBook Os X are (comparable machines): Timings on Windoze cygwin: [snip] Zone Alarm crashes ALWAYS, won't even finish Timings on Mac OS X: [snip] I am afraid I just have to move all this to my MacBook and forget about Windoze/cygwin. You're comparing chalk cheese and complaining that your mouth's full of grit. It's not the chalk's fault. It never claimed to tasted good in a sandwich. Run your script on a Mac emulator running under Windows, (without removing ZoneAlarm), then report back. Alternatively, run your script under Linux on your PC. You also haven't grasped simple logic, so I dread to think what your script is like. (Give us a laugh and post it, I dare you) Many people have experienced this: PC+Windows+ZoneAlarm+Cygwin+Script = Will not run PC+Windows+ZoneAlarm+ProgramX = Will not run PC+Windows+Cygwin+Script = Runs PC+Windows+ProgramX= Runs What sort of warped logic blames cygwin in this situation? The experience of many others is that ZoneAlarm is a badly written program that interferes with the correct operation of all sorts of software, not just cygwin. What sort of arrogant fool thinks the experience of countless others in the same circumstance doesn't apply to them? Cygwin works. I use it all day, every day and have done for years. I didn't have to do anything special to get it to work. If you can't make it work for you, I suggest that, ultimately, the problem is between your own ears, and you would be better off working on a solution to that rather than wasting our time with your mindless trolling. This is tangentially related to this topic (and I am not trying to put cygwin down, just discussing my problem). John originally posted the timing results for his scripts, and what peaked my interest is that the timing on widows+cygwin was much slower than on the Mac. On a thread that I started yesterday (see: slow bash command line and scripts). I noted that my bash is very sluggish, and the script execution very slow. The CPU is mostly idle. The situation did not improve even after I implemented the suggested fixes (PATH cleanup). Could my problem be related to some other windows/security software installed by the IT department (we have Preventia installed)? (hmm, even I can answer that as :sure it could, but how to verify it? I cannot remove Preventia. I guess that in my ignorance I am still hoping a wizard (or witch) will speed-up my cygwin with a wave of a wand.)
