Login without password using rsh / rlogin
Hello all, Could you help me with the next problem I'm facing. I use Cygwin within our company to automate some tasks on a Windows server. Thefor I installed inetutils and use rlogind and rshd to login without password. On Unix servers the functionality of logging in without password works, but I can't get it to work on Cygwin. I get the impression that this functionality has been removed. Please don't make any comments to use ssh and related stuf!! I know that it is safer and I agree that it safer. /home/joe/.rhosts pluto joe I can ping pluto from the Cygwin system. I can login to the cygwin sytem by entering my password and will be in the directory /home/joe after login. The permissions of .rhosts are 600, so read / write for owner. Owner of .rhosts is joe. Directory /home/joe has permissions 700 and owner is joe.

Packaging library only packages with latest cygport
Hi Yaakov
I'm in the process of packaging Xaw3D. Your latest patch to
xorg-xf-files works by the way.
I have a question regarding packaging library only packages like for
example your libXmu package.
The setup hint file contains the following lines:
category: _source
sdesc: X.Org miscellaneous utility libraries (source)
ldesc: X.Org miscellaneous utility libraries
but on sourceware the contents is different and the empty
libXmu-1.0.4-X.tar.bz2 is missing.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 cyguser cygwin 309616 Nov 5 01:31 libXmu-1.0.4-1-src.tar.bz2
drwxrwsr-x 2 cyguser cygwin 4096 Nov 5 01:31 libXmu6
drwxrwsr-x 2 cyguser cygwin 4096 Nov 5 01:31 libXmu-devel
drwxrwsr-x 2 cyguser cygwin 4096 Nov 5 01:31 libXmuu1
-rw-rw-r-- 1 cyguser cygwin106 Nov 5 01:31 md5.sum
-rw-rw-r-- 1 cyguser cygwin117 Nov 5 01:31 setup.hint
-bash-3.00$ cat setup.hint
category: X11
sdesc: X.Org miscellaneous utility libraries (source)
ldesc: X.Org miscellaneous utility libraries
Right now I have for my Xaw3D package the following cygport snippet:
abi=7
PKG_NAMES=${PN} lib${PN}${abi} lib${PN}-devel
PKG_HINTS=setup runtime devel
PKG_CONTENTS[0]= # empty
PKG_CONTENTS[1]=
usr/bin/*-${abi}.dll
usr/share/doc/
PKG_CONTENTS[2]=
usr/include/
usr/lib/
and the following setup.hint file:
sdesc: A 3D version of the MIT Athena widget set for X - (source)
ldesc: Xaw3d is an enhanced version of the MIT Athena widget set for
the X Window System. Xaw3d adds a three-dimensional look to X11
applications with minimal or no source code changes. You should install
Xaw3d if you are using applications which incorporate the MIT Athena
widget set and you'd like to incorporate a 3D look into those
applications.
category: _source
which produces:
Xaw3d-1.5D-8-src.tar.bz2 │ 316398
Xaw3d-1.5D-8.src.patch │ 90568
Xaw3d-1.5D-8.cygwin.patch│6960

libXaw3d7-1.5D-8.tar.bz2 │ 125753

with your latest cygport.
Is this the right appoach ?
Ciao

Fixing problems with new X11
I've got two questions about the new X11 package that got installed when I ran setup to update my packages today. First, it looks like all of the apps moves from /usr/X11R6/bin to /usr/bin. None of my windows start menu or desktop shortcuts got changed. Is there an automatic way to update them all to the correct new locations? It took me a while to even get an xterm working. I had to manually change the start xwin shortcut to C:\cygwin\bin\startxwin.bat to get anything to work. Second, I want to get rid of the toolbar/menu at the top of every xterm. What config file change to I need to make to get rid of it permanently. I don't want to have to specify +tb every time I run an xterm. I tried adding xterm*toolbar: false to my ~/.XDefaults files but that didn't work.

xhost command not found
Hi folks, I don't speak x-windows, so if I say something spectacularly stupid, well.. enjoy the laugh :-) I've been using Cygwin x-windows for a couple of years now. Yesterday, I was having some problems, so I decided to run the cygwin setup and see if there was anything new for the x-windows stuff. Found the new stuff and installed it. Only 1 problem... how I invoke an x-window seems to have changed. Here is what I used to do. I'm running on Windows XP Pro SP2 Start | Run... | startxwin this would give me an 'X' icon down by the clock, and then a shell window would open. In the shell window, I would type: xhost host name of machine I'm going to connect to ssh host name of machine I'm going to connect to (logon to host) who am i (to get my IP address - this is going through a VPN so it changes every time) export DISPLAY=IP addr:0.0 run my application Now that I have the new code on my machine, I tried the 'startxwin' command, it still works as before (at least from what I visibly see), but the 'xhost system name' command gives the following error: bash: xhost: command not found I did a search on the 'cygwin' directory (and it's sub-directories) for a file name of 'xhost', and nothing was found. Should I have an 'xhost' file somewhere? Or is 'xhost' included in some other file? Or do I need to configure a path? Or use some command other than 'xhost'? As you can see, I'm as little confused, and would greatly appeciate some assistance.

First, it looks like all of the apps moves from /usr/X11R6/bin to /usr/bin. None of my windows start menu or desktop shortcuts got changed. Is there an automatic way to update them all to the correct new locations? It took me a while to even get an xterm working. I had to manually change the start xwin shortcut to C:\cygwin\bin\startxwin.bat to get anything to work. The shortcuts to applications under the Cygwin-X menu all use run so I believe still work after the move (if you can get the server started in the first place) I don't think the shortcut to startxwin.bat was created by cygwin setup. (I've always had to make one manually) So, while it's likely that a user will have a shortcut to that somewhere, it's quite complex to do something helpful programmatically. Second, I want to get rid of the toolbar/menu at the top of every xterm. What config file change to I need to make to get rid of it permanently.

Upgrade broke Openbox
The upgrade yesterday did bad things to Openbox. See this screenshot for reference: http://w3.gwis.com/~slomojoe/images/openboxscreenshot.jpg The pager (the black rectangle at the bottom of the image) and the window decorations are black though the theme is configured to display light blue (see the lower corners of the xterm). The widgets (maximize/minimize buttons on the window, the pager switch window and switch workspace buttons) are garbled beyond recognition. The menu is displayed as a solid black rectangle. Submenus are broken as well. The menu still works. If I click in the right spot, it spawns a new xterm. I tried deleting my Cygwin directory and installing from scratch, but the problem persists. WindowMaker appears to work fine, so that's what I'm using for now. Any advice for getting openbox back?

Glad to hear it.
I have a question regarding packaging library only packages like for
example your libXmu package.
The setup hint file contains the following lines:
category: _source
sdesc: X.Org miscellaneous utility libraries (source)
ldesc: X.Org miscellaneous utility libraries
The proposed _source category was dropped; both sourceware release/ and
Ports SVN have been changed since.
category: X11
sdesc: X.Org miscellaneous utility libraries (source)
ldesc: X.Org miscellaneous utility libraries
This is correct.
Right now I have for my Xaw3D package the following cygport snippet:
abi=7
PKG_NAMES=${PN} lib${PN}${abi} lib${PN}-devel
PKG_HINTS=setup runtime devel
PKG_CONTENTS[0]= # empty
PKG_CONTENTS[1]=
usr/bin/*-${abi}.dll
usr/share/doc/
PKG_CONTENTS[2]=
usr/include/
usr/lib/
Looks good.
and the following setup.hint file:
sdesc: A 3D version of the MIT Athena widget set for X - (source)
ldesc: Xaw3d is an enhanced version of the MIT Athena widget set for
the X Window System. Xaw3d adds a three-dimensional look to X11
applications with minimal or no source code changes. You should install
Xaw3d if you are using applications which incorporate the MIT Athena
widget set and you'd like to incorporate a 3D look into those
applications.
category: _source
Change that to category: X11.
which produces:

Re: X server 1.5.3-2 candidate
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Jon TURNEY wrote: Actually, this seems to be more complex than I first thought. Running any of the mesa demo programs works fine locally, but causes a server segfault when I do it over ssh to a linux box Let me give you some background. You're aware that X.Org was previously embedding the Mesa sources into the server. With 1.5, they moved away from that model and now offer two options for GLX: 1) Use full-fledged DRI, which is Linux/*BSD specific; 2) Load the software rasterizer DRI module (/usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so) and skip the hardware. Of course, we only have the choice of the latter, but if swrast_dri.so is missing, the GLX (and SGI-GLX) extension is disabled. So I prepared mesa-7.2-2 and tried building that module, but after fixing up the build system, I found that it wasn't so simple. The build only links the module against libmesa.a (a convenience lib that becomes part of libGL), leaving several undefined references: _glapi_Context _glapi_Dispatch _glapi_add_dispatch _glapi_check_multithread _glapi_get_context _glapi_get_dispatch_table_size _glapi_noop_enable_warnings _glapi_set_context _glapi_set_dispatch _glapi_set_warning_func My understanding -- and I may be wrong -- is that these symbols are left undefined on purpose, because they are meant to be resolved by whatever loads the module. That may be a DRI-enabled libGL, an X server, etc. But that doesn't work for us because DLLs must have all references resolved at link time. So what to do? All the X servers have GLX support, but if I were to resolve these symbols against e.g. XWin, then the other servers will crash trying to load it. (Yes, I tried it.) So while our libGL doesn't actually use the module, the only neutral solution was to link against all of libGL instead of just part of it, and at least on the surface it appears to work. While the local mesa demos run whether or not the GLX extension is enabled, but I do see a major difference in xdpyinfo and glxinfo with and without GLX enabled. This is the only reassurance I have right now that I may have picked a working solution.

Cygwin X11 installation has changed lately?
Hi group, When I installed Cygwin this afternoon, I was looking for xorg-x11-base under the X11 subtree, and I didn't find it there anymore. I installed everything that was under X11 anyway, and was unable to locate startXwin under c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin. Where did startxwin go? can I still do tunelling through Putty?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] X11R7.4
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 (Resending here because it wasn't echoed at the time and obviously a lot of people haven't seen it.) Cygwin/X has been updated to X.Org X11R7.4. WHAT'S NEW IN X11R7.4? == * Each program, library, set of headers, set of fonts, etc., has its own package, for a total of around 250 binary packages. This sounds like a lot, but most are optional, very small and only occasionally updated. * The standard /usr prefix is now used. Other Cygwin packages that use /usr/X11R6 should be rebuilt and updated in the coming weeks. * Fonts have been moved to /usr/share/fonts. * libX11 is based on XCB. * Support for a number of X extensions which were long ago deprecated upstream have been removed. FEATURES AND NOTES == * Multiwindow mode includes several enhancements: - - application icons with transparent backgrounds are properly rendered; - - WM hints (e.g. no window decoration) are better followed; - - shaped windows are displayed properly; - - window styles can be customized in the .XWinrc file. * The Composite extension has been enabled, with the following caveats: - - Compositing cannot be used in multiwindow mode; - - A compositing manager (xcompmgr) with an ordinary window manager, or a compositing window manager (e.g. metacity or xfwm4), is required. - - OpenGL windows do not always render correctly when a compositing manager is running. - - When a compositing manager is running, the root window becomes a silver colour which cannot be changed through xsetroot(1). Desktop environment wallpapers are handled differently and still work. Here's a screenshot from a local instance of Xfce 4.6-beta1: https://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=99645 * The WindowsWM extension is currently disabled, as neither xwinwm nor the supporting code in the xserver currently build. This may be restored in a future release. * The XVideo extension is currently disabled. There is some skeleton code in the server, but it doesn't do anything yet. * Hardware-accelerated OpenGL (XWin_GL) is not currently available. * XWin uses the new X.Org logo as the icon, and its dialogs have a modern look on Windows XP. * The Xephyr and Xfake kdrive servers are available in addition to the classic Xnest and Xvfb servers. DEPRECATIONS These X extensions, and their related packages, are no longer available: DPS library: libdpstk1 Removed upstream before 6.9/7.0; a compatibility runtime package exists for the few packages still using it until they are rebuilt. DMX library: libdmx programs: Xdmx server, dmx* clients Recently deprecated upstream because it hasn't been updated to the current server APIs. It may be restored in the future, but it's too soon to determine a timeframe. FontCache library: libXfontcache Deprecated long ago and recently removed upstream. Nothing currently in the distro was using it. Font server library: libFS programs: fslsfonts, fstobdf, showfont, xfs, xfsinfo Deprecated upstream. Server-side fonts, used by Xt/Xaw/Motif apps, are still available. LBX library: liblbxutil programs: lbxproxy Removed upstream in 2006. XFree86-BigFont Recently removed upstream. Xinerama library: libXinerama This extension is being replaced by recent enhancements to XRandR. Xprint libraries: libXp, libXprintAppUtil, libXprintUtil programs: Xprt server, xphelloworld, xplsprinters, xprehashprinterlist Long ago deprecated in favour of client-side solutions, this was recently removed upstream. This also affects Xaw programs, as Xaw8 used the Xprint API (in fact, this was the sole difference between it and Xaw7). All X.Org programs have been rebuilt for Xaw7; other packages will need to be rebuilt. In the meantime, libXaw8 and libXp6 packages exist for compatibility. XTrap library: libXTrap programs: xtrap Replaced upstream by Record/XTest, it was recently removed. Nothing in the distro was using it. Other deprecated libraries and programs: liboldX: X11 is 21 years old already! libOSMesa4: mesa now provides libOSMesa7; nothing in the distro depends on the old library. libxkbui: Was only used by xorgcfg, which isn't present on Cygwin and is disappearing upstream anyway. xsetpointer: Replaced by xinput. UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS 1) Before upgrading, check if /usr/include/X11 and /usr/lib/X11 are symlinks or directories. If they are symlinks, remove them manually. 2) Take note of the programs you use from /usr/X11R6/bin; you will need to choose them for installation later. 3) If you use programs in /usr/X11R6/bin which are NOT from the xorg-x11-* packages, add /usr/X11R6/bin to the PATH variable in your preferred shell (e.g. for bash, in ~/.bashrc). 4) Follow the normal download/install procedure with setup.exe; packages are all in the X11 category. setup.exe will automatically upgrade as follows: X-startup-scripts - xinit xorg-x11-bin-dlls - libX11_6 xorg-x11-bin-lndir - lndir
