XDMCP title VPN AT&T dialer

[aroushdi]

First let me convey to you all my season greetings .
I am using Xfree86 and I would like to tell that I managed to make it 
work with ATT dialer version 5092 without disconnecting or other wierd 
things . The only thing you have to do is to hardwire your ip adress in 
the -from parameters .

Thanks for everybody who helped me in getting it running .
I have another request for you to evaluate ( I do not know how easy to 
implement ) .
I am opening more than one session so I have on the taskbar as well as 
the title bar the hostname . Would appreciate if we have in the command 
line something like -comments "min 16bytes" and that is displayed next 
to the hostname .

thks again and best wishes for 2005

RE: Full install on XP hangs at /etc/X11/abb-defaults/Bitmap

[Lino Miguel Martins Tinoco]

I had a similar problem a few months ago and also resolved it by
installing first some basic packages and after the rest of the packages.

Before that, I tried to remove the file were install hanged but after
removing that, it hanged in other file (the next one, I think). I
repeated this process a several times times and as I removed the files,
the hang was always in the next file and the percentage of the installed
files grew. At some point, I've excluded enough files to complete the
installation

After, I uninstalled everything (didn't trusted that kind of
installation), selected some basic packages and installed them and after
that I selected the rest of the packages and installed them also.
Everything went OK.

Maybe the setup cannot process such an amount of files like the one on a
full installation at one time.

setup.exe has been updated at http://cygwin.com/setup.exe so that it should
no longer have this problem.

This is a quite special request. Not a hard one to implement but a very
special. Unless you'll provide a working patch or convince someone to
implement it (hint: http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/xfree/donations.html)
it will most likely not be fulfilled.

XOrg 6.8.2 RC2 cygwin packages

[Alexander Gottwald]

Hi,

I've prepared cygwin packages for XORG 6.8.2 RC2.

RC2 means release candidate and is not a version for productive work
but for testing the changes for the next release.

To install the packages, start setup.exe and use
http://www.freedesktop.org/~ago/cygwin
as mirror and install the xorg-x11-*-6.8.1.902-1-* packages.

please test the release candidate and report any problems and regressions.

XWin/xdmcp fails after PC domain change

[Greg Dotts]

I could sure use some help solving a problem with my Cygwin/X (on MS XP 
Pro SP1 -> Fedora 2 xdmcp connection.

I recently changed my Samba server setup to PDC and joined my desktop 
and laptop PC's to the domain which promptly killed my Cygwin/X 
installations.  Step two was a remove/reinstall of Cygwin/X to the 
latest release on both machines.  This resulted in my laptop working, 
but not my desktop.  Next step was to remove the desktop and laptop from 
the domain and back into the original workgroup and try again.  I had to 
remove/reinstall Cygwin/X again, and again only the laptop will connect.

So now I'm scratching my head...  I have removed Cygwin/X from my 
desktop, cleaned the registry, removed all files related to Cygwin/X 
from the HD and reinstalled.  Same result - The XWin window loads but no 
response from the Fedora server.  Below is a copy of the XWin.log file 
and user variables, but I don't see anything out of the ordinary and I 
can't find any related entries in any of the Fedora logs.

BTW, nothing has changed on the xdmcp server side that I'm aware of... 
It looks to me like XWin.exe is not making the request to 192.168.1.1???

Why not just mark these as "test" in the setup.hint and upload them
to sourceware.org?

Have you tried the -from  parameter? This tells XWin which
network interface to use.

OTOH i have no idea why a domain change could change anything in Cygwin/X.
Maybe some user settings like TEMP location have changed or its just the
network setting which changed.

Hm. No real reason. I think I'll change this tomorrow.
I just wanted to avoid editing the setup.hint files but after testing the
download from the site I noticed the problems with the special download site
and regular packages updates :( I'll upload them to sourceware tomorrow

Re: XWin/xdmcp fails after PC domain change

[Greg Dotts]

Hello Alexander,
I have just now solved the problem.  Apparently during the domain 
join/unjoin the DNS Suffix in System Properties>Computer Settings was 
removed leaving just the host name of the PC.  Replacing the DNS suffix 
of my internal domain name fixed the problem.  Not sure why???  Perhaps 
a DNS issue - Dynamic Updates issue maybe???

To answer your question, yes I did try the "-from localipaddress" option 
which had no effect.  Once again not sure why.

Perhaps a list member with more knowledge can clarify.
Thanks for the suggestion

XDMCP is very sensitive to DNS changes.  Make sure that when the server
does a reverse DNS lookup on the IP, it gets the same FQDN as supplied by
your Cygwin machine.  Check /var/log/messages on the server.  Do you have
a stale /etc/hosts entry, perhaps?

Re: XWin/xdmcp fails after PC domain change

[Greg Dotts]

Igor, thanks for this info.
I posted the solution a little earlier this evening and based on your 
comments now makes perfect sense.

I allow dynamic updates to my internal DNS records (silly for two PC's, 
but whats a geek to do) and it turned out the DNS suffix entry was 
removed from my desktop PC during all the rearranging.

This translates into xwin/xdmcp referencing an old DNS record and 
refusing to connect.  It's usually the simple stuff isn't it???

Thanks again
