MC with F10 exits in the current directory
Peter,
as mc is an alias
alias mc='. /usr/share/mc/bin/mc-wrapper.sh'
I guess that under X this wrapper is working
differently than under console
---mc-wrapper.sh--
MC_USER=`id | sed 's/[^(]*(//;s/).*//'`
MC_PWD_FILE="${TMPDIR-/tmp}/mc-$MC_USER/mc.pwd.$$"
/usr/bin/mc -P "$MC_PWD_FILE" "$@"
if test -r "$MC_PWD_FILE"; then
MC_PWD="`cat $MC_PWD_FILE`"
if test -n "$MC_PWD" && test -d "$MC_PWD"; then
cd "$MC_PWD"
fi
unset MC_PWD
fi
rm -f "$MC_PWD_FILE"
unset MC_PWD_FILE

This however was untrue. When I reverted to xorg-server-1.11.4-1, the xfig crashed on startup as before, and I concluded that it must be a difficulty only with xfig. I am running on a Dell Optiplex 380 with an Intel Core2 E7500 2.93 GHz CPU, 4.0 GBt DRAM and an 150 GBt Western Digital HD. The OS is WinXp Pro. 32-bit, and is fully up-to-date. My CygWin installation is 1.7.10-1, the xorg-server is 1.11.4-5, and everything in that sub-system is up-to-date. The xfig is a minor part of the things I use, but I do like to have it around. It fails to start, issuing the messages: gbarrick@TS207 ~/figs/sqaccel $ xfig sqposn.fig& [1] 2904 gbarrick@TS207 ~/figs/sqaccel $ /usr/bin/xfig.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I ran the cygcheck on the xfig package, but it claims that none of the required resources or libraries are missing. $ cygcheck xfig Found: D:\cygwin\bin\xfig.exe Found: D:\cygwin\bin\xfig.exe D:\cygwin\bin\xfig.exe D:\cygwin\bin\cyggcc_s-1.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygX11-6.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygxcb-1.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygXau-6.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygXdmcp-6.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygXaw3d-7.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygXext-6.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygXmu-6.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygXt-6.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygICE-6.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygSM-6.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cyguuid-1.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygXi-6.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygXpm-4.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygjpeg-7.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygpng12.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll I had reason to suspect that it was the xorg-server because new versions had recently been installed.

Re: expose event not received by Open GL window in X11 application upon moving app window
Il 11/4/2013 6:35 PM, Wendel Dean Renner ha scritto: I have compiled and linked an existing X/Motif/Open GL program under cygwin. So far the only problem I have seen is what happens when I move the main application window. I have an array of drawing widgets in the main application window. Where the drawing widget is strictly an X window, if I move the main application window, the contents continue to be visible without an expose event occuring (and so the draw loop is not called). But in the Open GL drawing area window (using glx) the contents disappears and one sees only the back ground color. There is no expose event generated. If I click the mouse on the window, an expose even is generated and it redraws. The same happens if I change the size of the window, but covering and uncovering the window with say a cygwin term window does not generate an expose event. Covering with a child of the application and uncovering does generate an expose event. The x window is created with the line %RUN% XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error -wgl where I added the -wgl flag. Doing export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 before I run the application does not make any difference. I used a startxwin.bat script and modified it to run my application instead of a xterm. That allowed for an icon on the desktop to run the bat program to run the application. I also noted, like with Exceed, I cannot get a visual in the overlay planes, which I can do under Linux. I do not have glxinfo and can't figure out what package has that. cygwin was downloaded an installed on a Windows 7 computer just last week. The graphics card is an nvidia quadro fx 3800, driver version 320.92 On Performace Options: Show window contents while dragging is unchecked. Background: The program runs under Linux (was developedorginally under SGI IRIX) and I have been using Exceed,Exceed 3D, and Exceed XDK from OpenText (formally Hummingbird) to run on a Windows platform. I have only recented noted that OSF/Motif is now available with cygwin as opposed to the prior LessTiff implementation of motif, as of Oct 2012 evidently. My X/Motif program would not run correctly with LessTiff because of behavior differences where I was doing a lot of drawing widgets attached to the same place and managing and unmanaging them so that only one would appear at a time, allowing the user to change the layout of the draw area widgets.

possible bug in libXt or libXaw
testing ncview
http://meteora.ucsd.edu/~pierce/ncview_home_page.html
I found, only on 64 bit, a segfault due to incorrect
widget (aka pointer) value.
It could be a software bug, but it looks to me
more a bug somewhere in the underlying libs

695 LayoutChild(ref);
696 form->form.new_x += ref_form->form.new_x + XtWidth(ref) +

this is the pointer causing the segfault
(gdb) p form->form.horiz_base
$2 = (Widget) 0x6275705f6779632f
while similar pointers have a much smaller address,
(gdb) p w
$5 = (Widget) 0x60014bd50
so it that an assignment not clearing the upper
portion of the pointer.
Unfortunately my knowledge of Xt and Xaw is very limited so
if someone have any idea how to trace the bug origin,
I will appreciate.
Program and data available at:
http://matzeri.altervista.org/x86_64/ncview/
http://matzeri.altervista.org/works/ncview/
to run the program
ncview sresa1b_ncar_ccsm3_0_run1_21.nc
just changing the "Var" value 3 or 4 times trigger
the segfault.
Regards
Marco

Here is the log when I run startxwin from terminal with an empty .startxwinrc file I don't understand what I did wrong as it was working fine before. xinit behavior is changed, see relative announcement http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2014-11/msg4.html It will execute all command of .startxwinrc or startxwinrc and then the X server will shutdown. you can 1) remove .startxwinrc, so that the default will prevail. see for an example /etc/defaults/etc/X11/xinit/startxwinrc 2) you put in .startxwinrc any command without "&" and the xserver will close when that command will end. as examples: xterm -bg Black -fg White sleep inf You are not the first one, that was caught by surprise.

Re: Need help to replicate old behavior of my X setup scripts with latest Xfree86 update
On 12/23/2014 7:24 PM, Ben Richards wrote:
Up until the recent update to xinit-1.3.4-1 which overhauled X session
handling, I had my session set up nicely for my purposes. With the
following code in my .zshrc and an empty .startxwinrc, when I launched
Cygwin, Xwin.exe would start on display :0.0, it would set the
$DISPLAY variable, and automatically kill the X server when I exited
that terminal. I like mintty so this let me use that as my shell.
.zshrc contents:
=
startxwin &> xserver.log
x_start_success=$?
if [[ $x_start_success == 0 ]]; then
export DISPLAY=:0.0
pid=`ps | grep '/usr/bin/XWin' | awk '{print $1;}'`
alias kill_xwin="kill $pid"
if [[ $TMUX == "" ]] && [[ $x_start_success == 0 ]]; then
alias exit="kill $pid ; \exit"
fi
fi
The aforementioned update disrupted this flow so I’m wondering if
anyone has any suggestions on how I can regain a similar sort of
functionality. I don’t like using xterm in Cygwin and would like to
keep using mintty as my main terminal interface.
try putting "sleep inf" in .startxwinrc
It should simulate the old behaviour
