I changed the group id for my entry in the /etc/passwd file from 10530 (or whatever that value was) to 545 (Users) and the first error went away. 2. I changed the shortcut I use to launch the XTerms and removed the shell name at the end, so it now looks like this: C:\Apps\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /usr/X11R6/bin xterm +tb -sb -sl 5000 -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 -ls and now the XTerm is started without any errors. I guess it's working now, but I'm curious why these problems happened on the laptop installation and not on the desktop installation. Especially why the XTerm launch command had to change. The one I showed first I've been using for years without problems. I don't remember how I came up with it now, but I remember spending a lot of time putting that together. Also, that original launch command is working on my other PC (the desktop) as well as my other machines running the 32-bit version of Cygwin.

Re: Questions regarding windows 7 installation
thanks Jason, I have already done that, but even after commenting out the exec xterm and running the xterm process from the drop down menu I get two X windows. One that starts and stays blank and then the actual Xterm window which has a white background. I don't mind running the Xterm automatically, it's the spurious cygwin windows that start and stay up.

BitDefender prevents installation and execution of Cygwin and Cygwin-x
After upgrading to WinXP last month (I don't like to rush in to things) cygwin, cygwin-x, and NX-Client ceased to function. (To make a long story short, I had changed to BitDefender at the same time, but had forgotten that). I blamed the problem on the OS upgrade, not realizing that the problem was with the AV software. I tried everything I could think of, to the point where I deleted all files associated with both cygwin and NX, then searched the registry and deleted all references to Cygnus, cygwin and nx-client, all to no avail. I then re-installed only cygwin (the default minimum) but got the same symptoms: Error messages in the /etc/postinstall script processes which translated to 0xC00D (access violation) occurred on each an every entry in the script. I finally found a web entry that suggested that this error could be caused by AV software (although it did not mention BitDefender by name). In desperation, I erased all cygwin files yet again, put BD in GAME mode, and re-installed the default cygwin. The install was successful so I added cygwin-x which also installed and ran successfully. I thought I'd push my luck so I also installed NX-client. It worked as well! Since I didn't like to leave my systems in Game (very permissive) mode, I switched BD back to its normal operating mode. All the cygwin stuff stopped working. Back to Game mode. Everything works. Sent nasty-gram to BitDefender (not really nasty, but let them know of the problem and asked for solution). I had the same problem on machines running Vista and Win7 (which also recovered in BD Game mode) so I think the problem is wide-spread. I'm posting this in the hope that it helps others who may be beating their heads against the wall.

It was everything running fine but this morning I noticed it got stuck at 27%. for over 3h.

cannot type in my xterm after new installation
Hi, all -- I've just done a fresh Cygwin install on a new laptop and have run into some interesting challenges. I copied over my old startxwin.bat file from another machine and can now throw up an xterm and such, but all is still not well. I've noted other posts on how to get rid of the toolbar but didn't actually see where (.Xdefaults? xapplres? other?) and how (???) to do so, so I'm dealing with it at the moment. More interestingly, though, is that I cannot interact with an xterm after it opens no matter what sorts of toolbar changes I make. I can *see* my prompt there but can't actually do anything! The same goes for an rxvt-x terminal, although an rxvt-native term works just fine.

In particular, you don't add an environment variable called CYGWIN NTSEC TTY and if you are implying that either of those is necessary, you are wrong. ntsec is the default and tty is not something you turn on unless you know what it does. Installing cygwin is as simple as running setup.exe. The only decision you have to make is what mirror to use. That gets you a minimal installation. Then you can rerun setup.exe to add more packages. If any of the above was actually necessary at any point we would have fixed that by now. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

Fwd: bzr-gtk installation
Hello, I was wanted to try out the gtk interface of bazaar. I downloaded the file bzr-gtk-0.91.0.tar.gz from the bazaar website. There were no errors during the installation. When I issue the command 'bzr viz' I get the following error: bzr: ERROR: PyGTK not installed. So I thought their might be an issue with pygtk2. $ pygtk-demo Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/bin/pygtk-demo, line 7, in module execfile(os.path.join(pygtklibdir, pygtk-demo.py)) File /usr/lib/pygtk/2.0/pygtk-demo.py, line 18, in module import gobject ImportError: No module named gobject Any thoughts?

Re: XFree86 command line installation
Karthik, Reposting the same question every 24 hours will not get you closer to the answer. On Wed, 27 Jul 2005, Rajagopalan, Karthik wrote: Hi, This is a question about Cygwin-XFree86 installation. To dispell a myth, there is no such thing as a separate XFree86 installation. There is a Cygwin installer, named setup.exe, which can be used to install *any* Cygwin packages, including the Cygwin/X ones. Which, BTW, makes this question less appropriate for the cygwin-xfree list, and more appropriate for the main Cygwin list, which is where I'm redirecting this reply. Please remove cygwin-xfree from further discussion unless it comes to Cygwin/X-specific points. I am trying to install XFree86 from command line in silent mode without any user interface. Another note: the Cygwin/X implementation has switched from the XFree86 codebase to the X.org codebase a long while ago. I suspect you want to install the current versions of the X packages. Calling them XFree86 is likely to result in confusion. But on using the command structure setup.exe -L -R c:\test\xfree86 -q -l c:\cygwin -n -5 I am seeing the progress bar dialog. Is it not possible to install completely in silent mode? No, it is currently not possible. The Cygwin installer is a graphical application. You can run it in unattended mode, but you cannot tell it to not create a Window. That said, there may be other tools that allow opening a GUI application without a window. You could use one of those tools to invoke setup.exe, which will hide the main window. Before you ask, I'm not aware of any Cygwin tools that would do this. I'd suggest checking the MS Knowledge Base.

FW: Installation issues (newbie)
Someone on the Cygwin list suggested I post this here. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David Masterson Sent: Friday, June 17, 2005 4:43 PM To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Installation issues (newbie) I used to use Cygwin a long time ago and am now coming back to it. My setup: * Dell Precision Workstation 370 * MS-Windows XP Pro v5.1.2600 Step 1: Install Cygwin * I used setup.exe to first download all of Cygwin to my local hard drive. I do this so that, if I install it a few times, I don't have to hit the Internet after the first time. Somewhat faster. * After downloading everything, I used setup.exe to install the Default. A couple of times, this gave me errors in the postinstall steps about some DLL, but it didn't repeat consistently, so... * After I installed, I brought up Bash and got the usual message about /etc/passwd /etc/group. I used mkpasswd and mkgroup to fill them in. * Default (I believe) doesn't install MAN pages or editors, so figuring out what mkpasswd/mkgroup did and/or adjusting it is kind of difficult. This should be fixed or documented better. Step 2: Get an X server working * Default doesn't install any X, so I reran setup.exe to do an All install (I have room). This got me a Cygwin/X menu in the Start menu list, but didn't provide any obvious way of starting an X server. * Suggestion: Have setup.exe add an icon for startxwin.bat to the Desktop. I manually did that. * Double-clicking startxwin.bat brings up an X server and xterm with the root window hidden. Xclock also seems to work properly. Step 3: Get an editor running * Starting emacs from the xterm window brings up emacs, but it immediately crashes when you try to do anything in it. * Starting xemacs from the xterm window seems a little better as you can do things in it, but it crashes when you try to exit from XEmacs. * I then did an xhost + to disable access control. * Running emacs from an RHEL3 system with the display pointed at my Cygwin system brought up a window, but immediately crashed. * Running xemacs from the RHEL3 system with the display pointed to my Cygwin system worked much better and seemed normal (most times!). I tested this a few times and XEmacs did crash once. So what's wrong with the X server in Cygwin? Since I'm just getting going, I posted this to the cygwin mailing list -- later I may move to the cygwin-xfree mailing list.

This frontend would also allow me to delete all those awfull entries from the start menu (there are 9 right now) -- Juan José Gutiérrez de Quevedo Director Técnico ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ITEISA (http://www.iteisa.com)

Hi Matthew, Although the message is from base-files the reason is due to installation. In my experience this only occurs when installing for a domain user although others have reported other reasons for it. For me, the message occurs because the base-passwd (which I also maintain) doesn't and (for a number of reasons, see archives) can't add domain users. The outcome is, for this user, is that you get added to a special group. In an effort to stop or at least slow ;) the number of emails to the list when stuff didn't work because their user/group wasn't setup correctly some detection code was added to base-files along with some instruction as to what to do.

In my experience this only occurs when installing for a domain user although others have reported other reasons for it. 'Domain'? What kind of 'domain' are you talking about here? And why should a user have to rebuild the entire passwd and group files just because they are a domain user? This sounds wrong: if it is right, more explanation is necessary. For me, the message occurs because the base-passwd (which I also maintain) doesn't and (for a number of reasons, see archives) can't add domain users. What 'base-passwd'? And can you be a little more specific than see archives? I did a search with cygwin base-passwd domain user and I still have a sinking feeling when I see what links come up. The outcome is, for this user, is that you get added to a special group. In an effort to stop or at least slow ;) the number of emails to the list when stuff didn't work because their user/group wasn't setup correctly some detection code was added to base-files along with some instruction as to what to do. Right. And when I follow those instructions, it _still_ does not work: it does not allow me to remake the group, so I still get the message. So I am quite surprised that you say this message has reduced the number of emails to the list. Besides: the user should not have to know enough about domains and passwords to know why you have assumed that domain user stay domain users. And why are you so worried about the problems there when domain users are added (or did you mean not added) to passwd/group files? Basically adding your user (using the domain flag if appropriate) to the passwd and group files which is what the message attempts to help the user to do. This sentence is missing a main verb. Besides: I tried this both with and without the -d flag and make group failed both ways. It appears (judging from the number of times this question isn't now appearing on the lists) to have worked for most people, but I'm always looking for perfection ;) As I said, it surprises me that this would reduce the number, since it failed so quickly for me. But I always knew I was different;) Hope this helps explain things, Partially, yes. But I am still mystified why both mkgroup -l /etc/passwd and mkgroup -l -d /etc/passwd fail. The error code from the latter is Cannot get PDC, code = 2453. [snip] BTW: maybe _you_ never log on locally when running on a network domain, but I often do. So I find the restriction irritating. And I see from perusing the list that I am not the first to find it so. More important, in some benighted companies, users do not have Administrator privileges on their own Win95 workstations. They can only log on with their domain user name. Won't they want to be able to log on locally even more often (under Cygwin)? --- Matthew Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

cygnome 1.4 question about initial installation
Hi, I wanted to install cygnome (1.4), and did it directly though cygwin setup. I have no experience in this, so all I did was get the packages and installed them directly though setup. Now to run it, I call startgnome. It opens a XWindow, then I see a beautiful picture and it starts to load different desktop components like sawfish etc. Finally it gives the hints window. But after I exit it, I get nothing more and an hourglass sign shows up (and persists forever). I don't get the gnome desktop or anything more. I am not sure if I am supposed to install any of Steven's patches. Can anyone guide me as to what to do. I don't want to mess around too much because I was able to get kde to work, however it is awfully slow and eats up too many resources, I was hoping gnome would be smoother. Thanks

[snip] As for what our two develpers said, I do respect them for what they do for us but I wouldn't tell my users to shut up like that. Being a volunteer doing things for people for free doesn't give you the right to do that. Did you *read* what Bobby said about Alexander? Why didn't you jump to Alexander's defense if you respect him so much? Or does being a user of free software does give someone the right to insult a developer? That seems pretty one-sided to me. Yes, I did read what Bobby said. His post wasn't meant for Alexander. He was responding to Daniel who previously just wanted to add something to the discussion. From my view it was meant for the users and for the Cygwin team or the management not a particular developer. Like I said I think what Bobby said was perfectly all right and reasonable. I was also adding something the the discussion just like Daniel did. I saw what he added as useful to both users and developers. To users it indicated that there was some problem with the installation so everyone should be aware of. To developers this problem should be investigated and fixed. Also to developers he referred to a previous developer who he thought did a better job. Now I can understand most people would be upset if anyone tell you they think someone did or can do a better job but if I was a developer here I would just listen to what Bobby said, be open-minded, and think, because he might be right. I have been installing/using Cygwin for years and this is the first time I have a problem. I thought Bobby might be thinking the same thing before suggested that. You need the users and the users need you. You somehow think that there is a flow of obligation going from me to you? You're very wrong. You are benefitting from my efforts and Alexander's efforts. I am not benefitting from your efforts in any way. That is not true of some users here who are capable of sending bug reports or providing constructive feedback without pontificating. Since I care about cygwin, I do appreciate when people can provide feedback without whining and without insulting the people who have donated their time to help them. You have no rights here. Sorry. I was talking about users and developers in general. I didn't say that you needed me. I said that you needed the users. But since you have shown your typical developer attitude I should make this point clearer. Every user of your free software has contributed somehow to your project. They don't have to be here to show that they are contributing. Just if they download and install and use your software is enough. Why? These people although they don't come here to praise you or give their supports to you when they don't find bugs/problems in your software they are still helping you testing the software for you. Their absence here tells that the software works for them althouth some just don't bother to come here no matter they found a problem or they have fixed it themselves or maybe they are in some other places like IRC channels, forums, usenet, etc. As for those who come posting questions, they may not be capable of sending bug reports or providing constructive feedback without pontificating in your eyes but they are making contribution to your project. Not all of them really need help. Some are just reporting bugs/problems so that they can be fixed and everyone can be happy both users and developers. I was in this type of users when I was confirming this problem. You said that I'm benefitting from your efforts and Alexander's efforts, that is ture. But when you said you are not benefitting from my efforts in any way, that is not true. I spent time and efforts to download files and test the installation and I spent time to report that here. Should I have to go through all this had the setup.exe worked properly? No. I didn't really need those X components from Cygwin I only needed the C compiler and I usually do install everything when I install any software. I found the problem so I came here and found other users with the same problem then I did more tests in order to confirm the problem here. I don't mind you are not appreciating what I did but I want you not to forget that this type of users does exist and you will appreciate their efforts or not is up to you but you should never underestimate their efforts. They may well call that an insult to them. It is simple, you either do it your best or you don't do it at all. Sorry, but that is simple-minded pap. How can you judge what someone's best is? So, if I can't give cygwin 100% of my effort, I should just abandon it? Ridiculous. Everyone knows what their best is. No one is judging. Best doesn't mean 100% effort. No, you

Re: manual installation of the x11 packages
Daniel Newhouse wrote: Is there a way to install the x11 packages without using setup.exe? Like a script file? David, What you mentioned on the cygwin mailing, the dll is the xorg dll. Go ahead and install xorg now. It will be OK. Trust me. I just installed cygwin and xorg this morning, and its been working ever since. I installed cygwin first, and then xorg. I download both from the net, simply installing from the net. I have ADSL, and a very fast connection (3.00 Mb per second, although the ftp site I use only sends at 300 Kb per second.) The net is slow to me, because of the speed of my net connection. Its not me. I have a connection that is made for playing games, though i use it to download GPL software and other software. Another thing I did yesterday, was installing cygwin and xorg seperately, from a local directory, and that worked too. Its installing both at the same time that causes problems. Its not my software. Wednesday, I tried barebones with nothing but Office 2000. Same problems. I was not running Zone Alarm or Defender Pro Antispy. So the problem is setup. The error I got yesterday was that it was opening too many files (setup) and not closing them. Too many files open. I sent in my cygcheck.out. And reset the computer this morning. Had to reload all my software (not much, just my DVD writer, PVR, and some other software) I installed cygwin in two stages and started work on compiling GCC 3.4.3 and Timidity. I plan on comipiling a cygwin only X based timidity. I'll put it on my website. I'm counting on the user to get his/her own soundfount because my upload limit at Yahoo is 5 megabytes, and the smallest soundfont I found is 8 mb. There are plenty of soundfonts. The X of timiidty will look great under Xorg. Its going to use Xaw3d. Yes, I found a use for the widgets. I've built the X version of Timidity before. Won't take long to compile it.
