ssh hangs with solaris 8

Hi, I have a problem with establishing an ssl connection to solaris 8. From a local xterm window, command xterm -sb -rightbar -e ssh -X just hangs after accepting the password and giving the usual warning about fake authentication data. Strange is that this problem occurs with -multiwindow m

ssh hangs with solaris 8 again

Hi all, I found that writing 'run' in front of xterm command in file .XWinrc seems to "solve" the Solaris 8 hanging problem: menu root { // for an unknown reason, solaris needs 'run' in the beginning of the command... solaris exec "run xterm -sb -e ssh -X solarisbox" //

RE: Updated: XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-22

Hi all, keyboard repeat does not work anymore with this new update. I think it worked with the previous (4.3.0-21) release. Any ideas? I'm using win2k. Thanks, Tuli Maksuton sähköposti aina käytössä http://luukku.com Kuukausimaksuto

Re: Updated: XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-22

Sorry, I'm not familiar with Xinput. I have used cygwin as-is, i.e. not deliberately disabling any of the cygwin features :-) How can I enable it? Thanks, Tuli Yeah, this release discards repeats that come from Windows. It now relies on the Xinput layer to do the repeating. Ar

Re: Updated: XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-22

Hi all, and thanks for the ideas. Actually, I previously had problems with extraneous newlines from keyboard and somebody suggested 'xset r off', which was still there in my startup script. It didn't bother me with 4.3.0-21 but disabled the repeat with 4.3.0-22. Now I just removed xset from my

WindowMaker does not find libX11.dll

Hi all, I had problems with a fresh setup (today with all the newest packages with XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50 and all). WindowMaker will not start, since it cannot find libX11.dll. And really, this file does not exist after setup.exe. >From some older discussion I found that copying cygX11-6.dll to l

Re: WindowMaker does not find libX11.dll

Hi Harold, thanks for finding it out. However, I also noticed two other problems. 1) Emacs and xemacs (as started on Solaris and Linux) have crashing problems with the new XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50. With XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-44 this problem did not exist. The crashing can easily be reproduced just b

Emacs crashing with XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50

Hi, as Harold adviced, I'll make a new problem thread: Emacs and xemacs (as started on Solaris or Linux) experience crashing problems with the new XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50. With XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-44 this problem did not exist. The crashing can easily be reproduced just by clicking on the emacs wi

Alt-Gr not working with emacs?

Hi all, the Alt Gr button on my european keyboard does not seem to work at all with Solaris or Linux emacs/xemacs on XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50. For example, pressing AltGr-4 should produce the dollar sign on my keyboard, but only number 4 comes actually out. However, the button works with xterm. This

Re: Emacs crashing with XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50

Hi, unfortunately I can't currently test with twm. However, the same problem exists without -multiwindow on WindowMaker, and with normal -multiwindow option. So probably the problem has existed before 4.3.0-50, at least in 4.3.0-47. For some reason, in 4.3.0-44 I didn't notice it. Tuli Harold L

Hi Takuma, thanks for the tip. I'll check it as soon as possible. Tuli Takuma Murakami wrote: Let me confirm that you have checked http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-xfree-faq.html#q-ssh-no-x11forwarding especially "ForwardX11Trusted" parameter. Then, could you show the error message from Ema

Re: Emacs crashing with XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50

Hi, the tip helped. I just added line "ForwardX11Trusted yes" to the ssh_config file. This fixed also the other problem of Alt Gr not working. However, the FAQ 5.1 seems to be slightly out of sync with the setup.exe, since file ssh_config resides in /etc after setup, not in /etc/ssh as in FAQ.

Re: Alt-Gr not working with emacs?

Hi, the problem seems to be OpenSSH 3.8 related. See also Re: Emacs crashing with XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50 today at 9:00. Thanks, Tuli Alexander Gottwald wrote: Please run xev and send the output produced when pressing alt-gr + 4 ..

OpenSSH configuration and many recent problems

Hi all, just wanted you to know, that OpenSSH 3.8 configuration seems to be the reason for some of the recent problems presented here (e.g. AltGr not working, emacs crash). I've had those problems, too. Takuma Murakami suggested that I checked my OpenSSH configuration. When I added "ForwardX11Trus

Alt Gr key beeps!

Hi, I still have a small but annoying problem with the Alt Gr key. When using emacs on Solaris 8, every hit on the Alt Gr key produces also a beep sound. Otherwise it works ok. Funny enough, the beep comes only on Solaris 8, but not with any Linux box. I'm using XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50, and using

Re: OpenSSH configuration and many recent problems

Hi, I agree, security is very important, and security settings should be towards safer operation. The question still is, why does the ForwardX11Trusted setting affect to normal keyboard operation anyway? Cheers, Tuli Corinna Vinschen wrote: I'm not actually keen to change another default sett

Re: WindowMaker does not find libX11.dll

Hi Harold, I couldn't use setup.exe for downloading your libungif-4.1.0-3, but took it manually instead. It seems to fix this problem. Thanks, Tuli .. MTV3 Laajakaista - Hauskemman elämän puolesta. http://www.mtv3.fi/liittyma/hankint

setup.exe copies files to wrong place

Hello, setup.exe seems to copy some files, e.g. font files, to a wrong drive. For example, if setup.exe is located (and run) at D:\cygwin_install directory and the target directory is C:\cygwin, then setup.exe copies lots of stuff to D:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts\... It would seem that somew

Re: setup.exe copies files to wrong place

Hi Harold, and thanks for the fast response. All I admit is that I don't remember whether I installed it on D drive also ... ;) But it is a good idea that setup.exe would warn if user is doing something which seems to be wrong. Cheers, Tuli

Re: Pathnames for X server app-defaults etc.

Hi, I've had similar problems. I noticed that the problems existed due to lack of permissions. When I set permissions (on the Windows side) as Full Control to Everyone, the deletion of old installation and the re-installation of new version worked. It seems that permissions of the C:\cygwin dir

XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-63: xterm problem

Hi, I noticed that the handling of xterms is not working correctly with WindowMaker. When I iconize the first xterm window, I cannot easily get it back anymore (I have to switch between workspaces, and sometines even that doesn't work). This problem arrived with 4.3.0-63, it didn't exist in 4.3.0

Problem with other window managers

Hi, I'm unable to start any other window manager (twm, wmaker) with XWin 6.7.0.0-3, only the -multiwindow works. Is this a problem of whether to use 'run' or 'start /B' for starting XWin or the manager? Thanks, Tuli .. MTV3 Laajakais
