Install hangs when installing xorg-x11-fenc-6.8.1.0-2
Hi! It downloads correctly, but when installing: usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/adobe-dingbats.enc.gz it stops. If left alone for some hours it eats up all memory and crashes. Have tried with previous versions, but setup stops when encountering the first .gz file. Using setup.exe 2.510.2.2 Any tips?

RE: Problem with numerical input for certain applications in Cygwin

When I run the applications there are various fill forms which require numeric entry. For some reason I cannot make any numeric input into these forms. The same forms have character entry which works fine. I tried the FAQ and users Guide but could not find any examples of this exact problem. I have some Linux support but that person was basically at a loss. I am not sure where to look to correct this problem. When I run directly on my Linux server I do not have this problem. I suspect there is some setup in my startx.sh file that may help. Any suggestions? You haven't specified exactly *how* you invoke the applications on Linux, but I suspect they are X applications and you invoke them via the X forwarding feature of ssh. This makes your question off-topic for the main list, and on-topic for the cygwin-xfree list (which the Reply-To of this message points to). If you aren't using X, please follow-up to the main list with more details. As for your problem, in the absense of more information, it looks like you're seeing weird Num-Lock-related behavior, which is a known problem with Cygwin/X. Try using the digits above the alphabetical keys instead of the keypad. I also seem to recall some recipes for making Num-Lock work properly -- searching the cygwin-xfree archives may help. Igor -- Igor, Thank you for your reply. Indeed I am using the X forwarding features of ssh. I read somewhere (in my many searches) that there could be some hardware related issues to the num-lock, so I will follow that thread. Unfortunately, I am trying to use the digits above the alphabetical keys instead of the keypad (but I think it was a good suggestion). Thanks for your help and sorry for the post to the wrong mailing list. Scott Langford Scott, Another thing to check is whether you're hitting the limitations of untrusted X forwarding (see the Cygwin/X FAQ entry on ssh). Also, does this problem occur only in those applications, or in any X application (e.g., an xterm)? If the latter, you may have keyboard mapping issues -- the output from pressing those keys in xev might help. If the former, try eliminating ssh as the culprit (e.g., temporarily opening up the local X server with xhost + and setting the DISPLAY on the remote machine to connect directly to the local server). It would also help to know what you use to start your local X (there is no such thing as startx.sh -- there's startxwin.sh, startxwin.bat, or startx). Do you have a ~/.Xserverrc? What window manager are you using?

Meow! If there's any real truth it's that the entire multidimensional infinity of the Universe is almost certainly being run by a bunch of maniacs. /DA Igor, I am using the -Y option so I do not think it is a limitation of untrusted forwarding. The problem does not occur in xterm or konsole applications. It only seems to occur in two design applications I have tried: Cadence IC works and Slam edit. You are correct there is no startx.sh. I am using startxwin.sh here. I am using the following command lines: XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error -multimonitors -emulate3buttons 100 xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash -l In this case, I am using the integrated windows based windows manager. I do not have a ~/.Xserverrc. I have considered trying the twm option. I will try to rule out ssh. Thanks for your help.

Re: How to add a title to xterm
How to add a title to xterm? I start cygwinx by startx. The following commands does not work: xterm -T columbia xterm -title columbia xterm -title columbia I do not use startx: for me, it sets up unnecessary or inconvenient defaults. 1. Start bash then 2. run XWin -nolisten local -multiwindow Enter 3. xterm -display localhost:0.0 -title Columbia Enter works fine for me ...
