[PATCH] Do not confuse MinGW/MSYS users with talking about Cygwin when rebasing
Hi,
here's a small patch against the rebase 4.4.0-1 package to the rebaseall /
peflagsall scripts that avoid talking about "cygwin" when running under MSYS /
MinGW to not confuse the user.

qtparted unter Cygwin (font problem)
Hi, I'm trying to run qtparted on a remote Gentoo Linux machine and forward X11 via SSH to my local Windows / Cygwin machine. It basically works, but in qtparted's GUI I only see squares instead of a nice font. I guess I'm missing a font in my local Cygwin X-server installation, but I already have installed all X11 / Qt related font stuff I was able to find. Any clue which font I would need?

Re: Bug in tcltk's glob
I don't think there is any need to patch tcltk, as I believe the bug has already been fixed in more recent versions than the one supplied with Cygwin. So a simple recompile for Cygwin should do. Unfortunately, I have neither the time nor expertise to do so. Nor do you have sufficient good manners to persuade anyone else to do so on your behalf. So I guess you're SOL then, aren't you? If you're refering to my mistake to contact Chris directly, I'm sorry for that, I didn't read his mail on cygwin.applications to the bottom.

If you run Cygwin under Windows and mix usage of Cygwin's command line CVS client and e.g. TortoiseCVS, you need to mount the file systems in text mode. Otherwise, you get additional line feeds when checking in / out to / from a CVS server (that runs under Unix). -- Sebastian Schuberth -- 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/

DD converts LF -> CR / LF
Hello, my mounts are all text mode, i.e. the "Default Text File Type" is "DOS". Nevertheless, shouldn't dd if=test_unix.txt of=text.txt create an exact copy of "test_unix.txt"? It seems DD doesn't open the file in binary mode (like even VIM does), because if "test_unix.txt" contains LF line ends, "text.txt" will contain CR / LF line ends, increasing the file size. This drove me nuts when working with DD on some binary files. How can I solve this? I already tried several of the "conv=" arguments to DD with no luck.

Re: Change Default Text File Format after installation
Well, I only need a solution for my special case *now*, so it's okay for me if mounts are going to be stored anywhere else in the future. My problem is: I've set "Default Text File Format" to "Unix" during setup. Now I just want to change my Cygwin installation as if I had specified "DOS" instead. You can simply re-run setup in the "Keep" mode and change the filesystem type to "DOS"... I tried that, but I always used VIM to see if it worked ... I didn't know VIM (being a text editor) always creates files in binary mode. mount -sbc /cygdrive Thanks. I've changed all my mounts to "textmode". Including the cygdrive prefix? I also re-mounted the drives without "cygdrive" prefix, if that's what you mean. What I don't get: If I now create a file using VIM and look at it afterwards using "od -c", it still contains \n instead of \r\n line ends. Why is that? Because VIm always creates files in binary mode, IIRC (perhaps because it is linked with binmode.o, not automode.o?). Try ":set fileformat=dos" before saving the file. You can also put the above command in your ~/.vimrc. Strange: "set fileformat=dos" works in the editor, but not when entered into ".vimrc" (other commands in there work). -- Sebastian Schuberth -- 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: Change Default Text File Format after installation
In the mount table. See "man mount". Google for "cygwin remount binary" for a handy one-liner. Thanks. The default mounts seem to be encoded in the Windows registry, as there is not fstab. By "default mounts", do you mean the /cygdrive auto-mounts? Yes, all mounts that are there after a fresh install of Cygwin. It also seems I need to change the flags in a key named "cygdrive flags" if I want to change the mount mode of auto-mounted drives. Is that correct? No, that is *NOT* correct. The mounts are stored in the registry *now*, but they aren't guaranteed to stay in the registry in the future. What is guaranteed, however, is that the "mount" command will *always* manipulate the mount table, wherever it's stored. Cygwin's "mount" is very different from the Linux "mount" -- you really should read the "mount" manpage. Well, I only need a solution for my special case *now*, so it's okay for me if mounts are going to be stored anywhere else in the future. My problem is: I've set "Default Text File Format" to "Unix" during setup. Now I just want to change my Cygwin installation as if I had specified "DOS" instead. The flags on the auto-mounted drives can be changed by setting them in conjunction with the --change-cygdrive-prefix (-c) mount flag. So, to make them binary, just say mount -sbc /cygdrive Thanks. I've changed all my mounts to "textmode". What I don't get: If I now create a file using VIM and look at it afterwards using "od -c", it still contains \n instead of \r\n line ends.

RE: Crash during setup
> setup-2.243 works fine, no more crashing! Thank you very much! well, i just tried to install lyx 1.1.6 fix 4 under cygwin. as before, the current setup.exe crashes and the 2.243 snapshot creates a null pointer exception at 0x0043a1a5. as far as i can tell, it does not matter where i put lyx' setup.ini (current directory or some sub- directory). how am i going to install lyx then? -- Sebastian Schuberth -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Re: Crash during setup
Hi, I don't use an existing or designated folder for Cygwin downloads. When asking for the local package directory, I specify a directory that does not yet exist so it will be created. I also already tried to use serveral mirror sites but it does not help. The setup.ini file that gets properly downloaded in the local package directory I specified ist 102kb in size (MD5 DB7B6E8CD14D8957B4454C2B845C84D6). I sure can post it if you like. -- Sebastian Schuberth > Hi, > > Are you using an exisiting folder for your local package directory? If > so, it is reccommended that you use an empty, new folder.

Re: Crash during setup
Randall, I've just tried it once more, and right now 25 minutes have passed without any progress. I still see this dumb blank page.

Crash during setup
Hi there, i'm trying to run Cygwin setup 2.218.2.9 on Win2k but it always crashes at the same point: After selecting the mirror and downloading setup.ini a page saying "This space intentionally left blank" appears and the program does not respond to input anymore. The only way to close it is to kill the task. Any hints how to avoid this? -- Sebastian Schuberth -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
