Re: cygwin gnome-terminal pty error
I haven't had a chance to get back to it and I'm still stuck using a boat load of xterms all over the place instead of the nice tabs I could have had gnome-terminal work as expected. That's the thing about cygwin ... you get really weird errors that not many people have seen before. Oh wait. Now that I read your email again (and carefully) I see you haven't seen my newer email. After the last update, I'm now getting a different behavior. I'm not getting the pty errors, which is what made me install cygserver btw, (which somehow got rid of my fork problems, that's another story though) but the gnome terminal doesn't do anything. That is, before, at least the menus did work (what gnome-terminal really is) but the canvas was blank. Now not even the menus work. I'll get back to it eventually ... unless you find a solution before me. One thing seems certain though: nobody is using gnome-terminal.

Re: cygwin gnome-terminal pty error
Thanks for you reply René. I think I going to have to switch from digest to getting every email. I see you replied right away but I just got the digest today.

You see the process but no window? or as before, a window with no shell prompt? -- René Berber Before I'd see a fully functional gnome-terminal, the shell, but no prompt. The menus and everything else would work as expected. Now I see just a window but the menu doesn't even show up. Worse, once I run gnome-terminal, I cannot kill it and XWin hangs trying to fork new xterm from the XWin menu. I have to use the Windows task manager to kill all the XWin stuff and then restart XWin again. IOW, after gnome-terminal is up and hung, if I right click the X to start more xterms, they don't show up and ps -ef in cygwin shows one XWin process for every time I try to start a new local xterm. At this point in time, I'd just like to find somebody that is using a gnome-terminal in cygwin so I can tell if it's my environment or if the problem is the package itself. I sent an email to Yaakov but I guess he didn't see in the sea of emails he probably gets every day. -- Luis P Caamano Atlanta, GA USA -- 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/
Re: cygwin gnome-terminal pty error
I updated cygwin with the latest vte package and now instead of the pty error, gnome-terminal just hangs with no error. I'm installing packages from kernel.org and from sunsite.dk. Is it possible that the mix of packages is the problem? The only gnome package I selected was the gnome-terminal package, which then selected its pre-requisites. Could it be that I missing something? I'm running with CYGWIN=server ntsec. Could it be that cygserver is not configured properly? Finally, is anybody running gnome-terminal on cygwin? I'd appreciate any hint or clue about this.

I do get a gnome-terminal window with no shell prompt (white background). The menu seems to work fine as I can bring the edit current profile dialog. Anybody using gnome-terminal in cygwin or seen this error? Perhaps I have a package incompatibility? I initially installed from mirrors.kernel.org and then added the sunsite.dk, selected gnome-terminal only, and it automatically selected a bunch of dependencies. So far google haven't revealed any clues. Can anybody provide me with some hints or clues that would help solve this problem? Any help is appreciated, thanks. -- Luis P Caamano Atlanta, GA USA -- Luis P Caamano Atlanta, GA USA -- 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/

I'm installing packages from kernel.org and from sunsite.dk. Is it possible that the mix of packages is the problem? From two Cygwin mirrors? there shouldn't be any problem. And that is the normal way if you use the ports repository. The only gnome package I selected was the gnome-terminal package, which then selected its pre-requisites. Could it be that I missing something? If you miss something you'll get a message about it. I'm running with CYGWIN=server ntsec. Could it be that cygserver is not configured properly? Not likely, but if you install syslog (comes with inet utils) you could see if cygserver is logging messages. If it is, and you don't have syslogd running, the messages are in Window's event messages. Finally, is anybody running gnome-terminal on cygwin? No, only in remote mode (gterminal running under Solaris). Under Cygwin I use eterm and it works fine. I'd appreciate any hint or clue about this. Anything ... How is gnome-terminal hanging?
