Re: mintty colors
On 3/3/2010 2:33 AM, Gary Johnson wrote: Thanks, but I guess my explanation wasn't clear enough. What I would like to be able to configure are the colors that mintty uses to display the 16 colors of a 16-color terminal. I guess these are termed ANSI colors. These are the colors that programs such as grep, ls and vim use when executed in a color terminal. My specific problem is that the blue that mintty displays for ANSI color 4 or 12 is so dark that blue characters are illegible on a black background. I've adjusted the color that rxvt uses by putting Rxvt.color12: #007fff Rxvt.color4: #007fff in my ~/.Xdefaults file, but I can't find the equivalent, if there is one, for mintty. There is some mention of this in the mintty man page, in the section on Changing the ANSI colours, but that is not the same as being able to configure mintty so that it always uses a particular palette. mple ahh sorry. you may have already seen this... looks like there may not be one unless this change request and reversion was re-implemented http://groups.google.com/group/mintty-discuss/browse_thread/thread/33cb565e4f32f146 It does appear to provide a means to do it yourself(recompile required). -- 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

Is there some other way to configure mintty's colors that I'm missing? man mintty CONFIGURATION Most settings are chosen not through command line arguments but in the graphical options dialog, which can be reached via the context menu or the window menu. Settings are stored in an INI-style configuration file that by default is located at ~/.minttyrc. This can be over- ridden with the --config command line option. Settings are written to the file whenever the OK or Apply buttons are pressed in the options dialog. The following sections explain the settings on each pane of the options dialog.

To make this reasonably usable, the glass colour needs to be set to be as dark as possible in the Windows control panel: choose Personalize from the desktop context menu, click on Window Color, turn the color intensity up to the maximum, show the color mixer, and turn the brightness down to black.

Re: How do I start WM?
Try this: Copy the shortcut as mentioned earlier in the email trail. set the Target to be: C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startx -- /usr/bin/Xwin.exe Note the double quotes around the last argument. Without them, Xwin.exe doesn't start on my box. startx also would not invoke Xwin.exe on my box unless I explicitly called it ala above Commmand line invocation- $ startx -- /usr/bin/Xwin.exe perhaps it's not reading the symlink properly (the default server is set as /usr/bin/X, which is symlinked to /usr/bin/Xwin.exe) -- nope, explicitly setting default server to /usr/bin/Xwin.exe doesn't start it either via a plain startx on the command line. setting startx to echo the eval of the invocation yields xinit /home/rthompso/.xinitrc -- /home/rthompso/.xserverrc :0 -auth '/home/rthompso/.serverauth.5912' aha -- my .xserverrc has: #exec X -screen 0 1024x768x16 -engine 4 -ac -nowinkill -noreset -emulate3buttons 100 uncomment it and try again from command line a plain startx... xserver starts up in it's own window with my .xinitrc programs running. shut it down, and try my copy of the shortcut again, starts again. Now that we've established that mine wasn't starting due to the invalid .xserverrc, reset the shortcut target to C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startx and try it - starts again Pasted below is my .xinitrc (you said you don't have one in $HOME), you can try this one in your $HOME if you want.

Hi,
I am currently using Kaspersky AVS but I am looking for a replacement because
using it with Cygwin brings my system unstable whenever a bunch of child
processes are spawn (ie: find . -name '*.h' -exec grep -l pattern {} \;'.
Someone has even put the blame on Cygwin on their forum:
http://forum.kaspersky.com/lofiversion/index.php/t48713.html
I do not agree with his assessment because:
1- I have tried the proposed fix and it didn't change anything
2- I am having the same instability problem with their AVS when I compile big
projects (ie: ACE Framework) with Visual Studio.NET 2003.
3- Cygwin is running very smoothly with previously used AVS such as McAfee
and Trend Micro OfficeScan.
Before doing my AVS switch, I just wanted to ask cygwin users and/or
maintainers which AVS they are recommending and that is known to have no
compatibility problems with Cygwin.

Well you could start by explaining what you think those mounts should have done. Are you trying for the equivalent of a loopback mount? Remember that mount is one of the utilities that differs substantially from its Linux/Unix counterpart. The man page starts: NAME mount - Display information about mounted filesystems, or mount a filesystem SYNOPSIS mount [OPTION] [win32path posixpath] but it doesn't give any specifics of what a win32path is supposed to be and whether relative paths constitute acceptable win32 paths. In particular the section that reads Limitations: there is a hard-coded limit of 30 mount points. Also, although you can mount to pathnames that do not start with /, there is no way to make use of such mount points. should give you some clue that what you are trying to achieve should probably be done some way other than what you have tried so far. regards Steve -- Steve Holden+1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd http://www.holdenweb.com Skype: holdenweb http://del.icio.us/steve.holden --- Asciimercial -- Get on the web: Blog, lens and tag the Internet Many services currently offer free registration --- Thank You for Reading - -- 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/

The only batch file I see is /cygwin.bat In page http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using.html#using-starting I see startxwin.bat startxwin.bat - Use a MS-DOS batch file as the startup script. An example startxwin.bat is included in X-startup-scripts, which is extracted according to the instructions in the Section called Installing Cygwin/X in Chapter 2. Run /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer. startxwin.sh startxwin.sh - Use an sh shell script as the startup script. An example startxwin.sh is included in X-startup-scripts, which is extracted according to the instructions in the Section called Installing Cygwin/X in Chapter 2. Run /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh in a Cygwin shell: However, there is no such .bat and no such .sh Another method here is startx - Use the standard X Window System startx script with its attendant ~/.xinitrc configuration file. First you need to create ~/.xinitrc from the template in /etc/X11/xinit/: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc However, in my system [EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc $ ls DIR_COLORSdefaults networks preremove protocols skel alternatives group passwd profileservices termcap bash.bashrc hosts postinstall profile.d setup i.e. even I do not have /etc/X11 Also, commands like xterm, ssh do not work. What do I wrong or where can I find the right manual? Please cc me, because I am not (yet) a list member.

Re: getsockname problem

I've run into a problem where getsockname() doesn't work as expected.
Below is a test program where it fails under cygwin but runs on any
other Unix/Linux system. I searched the mail archives for any
limitations
#include sys/types.h
#include sys/socket.h
#include netinet/in.h
#include stdio.h
int main() {
struct sockaddr_in sa;
socklen_t len = sizeof sa;
int s, rc;
s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_ICMP);
printf(socket = %d\nlength = %d\n, s, len);
rc = getsockname(s, (struct sockaddr *) sa, len);
printf(getsockname rc = %d\nreturned length = %d\n, rc, len);
perror(getsockname);
return rc;
}
well,,, not 'any' other linux system...
$ ./getsockname
socket = -1
length = 16
getsockname rc = -1
returned length = 16
getsockname: Bad file descriptor
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/rthompso
$ uname -a
Linux wasteland 2.4.18-18.7.x #1 Wed Nov 13 20:29:30 EST 2002 i686 unknown
similar failed response on WinXP
$ ./getsockname
socket = 3
length = 16
getsockname rc = -1
returned length = 16
getsockname: Invalid argument
WS-XP-4960[08:38:46]: /home/rthompso
perhaps a re-coding is in order...
