[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: libXfont-1.4.8-1 [SECURITY]
The following packages have been added or updated in the Cygwin distribution: * libXfont1-1.4.8-1 * libXfont-devel-1.4.8-1 libXfont provides the core of the legacy X11 font system, handling the index files (fonts.dir, fonts.alias, fonts.scale), the various font file formats, and rasterizing them. It is used by the X servers, the X Font Server (xfs), and some font utilities (namely bdftopcf), but should not be used by normal X11 clients. X11 clients access fonts via either the new APIs in libXft, or the legacy APIs in libX11. This update fixes CVE-2014-0209, CVE-2014-0210, and CVE-2014-0211 as described here: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2014-May/002431.html -- Yaakov Cygwin/X CYGWIN-XFREE-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO == If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-xfree-announce mailing list, please use the automated form at: http://cygwin.com/lists.html#subscribe-unsubscribe If this does not work, then look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.

Re: Advice on getting window manager, file manager and simple text editor to work

On 2014-01-31 16:41, Sinkler, Wharton wrote: I'm trying to recreate the look and feel of a standard Unix X Windows system on my PC using Cygwin (something resembling the old CDE, or Redhat in functionality). I've got Cygwin with X11 and openbox running, but a few problems stubbornly unresolved: Openbox doesn't have a dock so if you minimize a window it's just gone. Openbox is only a window manager, so that is to be expected. There are suggestions to solve this problem with a toolbar application called tint2, however the latter doesn't build successfully on my Cygwin installation (Errors in cmake about compilers not working when in fact they are working just fine). As far as standalone panels go, tint2 is available in Ports (built OOTB), as is fbpanel (my personal favourite). Another major item is some kind of file manager to run inside the Openbox root window. Although I've installed the KDE and Gnome items available through cygwin setup-x86_64.exe, none of the file managers such as Nautilus, Thunar, KDE file manager etc. appear to be part of those installations. dolphin, gentoo (the file manager, not the Linux distro), gnome-commander, mate-file-manager (aka Caja), nautilus, pcmanfm, Thunar, and xfe are all available in Ports. I tried downloading a version of rox (rox-2.1.2-cygwin.tar.bz2) but installation failed (gcc apparently detects multiple incompatible declarations in part of the code). Like most X11 desktops, a fairly complete ROX environment is also available in Ports. Finally, I'd like a simple editor. Have installed nedit, but get 'UTF8 locale not supported' followed by Segmentation fault when I execute it. The message is harmless but otherwise it WFM.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Uploads for 12 August
On 2013-08-13 09:13, Ken Brown wrote: Yes. The fix was to add the following for the Cygwin build, very early in main(): setenv (G_SLICE, always-malloc, 1); I don't know why this no longer works. Maybe Glib now does its memory management initialization before emacs's main() is entered. Exactly; in glib-2.36, g_type_init has been moved to a ctor, which is automatically called before main(); hence, this setenv is too late now. Mozilla software is also affected by this, see: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687763 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=833117 and many others. Firefox et al already use launcher scripts, so adding one more line won't be a big deal for them. Yaakov, is there any chance that you could patch Glib to do the equivalent of G_SLICE=always-malloc on Cygwin? This isn't really an emacs issue. It would affect any GTK application that provides its own malloc rather than using Cygwin's malloc. (But emacs is probably the only such application in the distro.) Given that the only programs which seem to be *practically* affected by this is our Emacs, and Firefox/Thunderbird/etc. (which we don't have yet), and using G_SLICE=always-malloc apparently affects performance, I don't think that would be an appropriate solution. For now, I think you'll have to add a wrapper script.

Re: emacs, GSettings, and gtk3
On Mon, 2012-11-26 at 07:56 -0500, Ken Brown wrote: I'm trying to decide whether the benefits of GSettings and gtk3 outweigh the annoyances. I'd like the opinions of emacs users and GNOME experts on this. Here are the details: 1. If emacs is built using gtk3 and the window geometry is specified on the command line or in ~/.Xdefaults, the following warning appears in the terminal from which emacs was started: Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_window_parse_geometry() called on a window with no visible children; the window should be set up before gtk_window_parse_geometry() is called. The warning can safely be ignored but is annoying. GTK+ warnings aren't uncommon, as GTK+ behaviour gradually changes over time and programs don't always keep up. If the program operates correctly, and upstream says they can be ignored, then I wouldn't worry about them. As for choosing between GTK+ 2 vs 3, I would go with the upstream default. 2. If emacs is built with GSettings support and is started without a D-Bus daemon running, the following warning is issued: GLib-WARNING **: In call to g_spawn_sync(), exit status of a child process was requested but SIGCHLD action was set to SIG_IGN and ECHILD was received by waitpid(), so exit status can't be returned. This is a bug in the program calling g_spawn_sync(); either don't request the exit status, or don't set the SIGCHLD action. In this case there is a simple workaround: Ensure, by a suitable line in ~/.startxwinrc or ~/.bashrc, that a D-Bus daemon is always running before emacs is started. A D-Bus session daemon is required for most modern desktop software nowadays, so I wouldn't consider this a setback.

Re: Implement ~/.xsession-errors?
On Mon, 2012-11-26 at 13:35 -0500, Ken Brown wrote: I'm wondering whether it's feasible for the Cygwin X-server to redirect stderr to ~/.xsession-errors for programs started under the server, as is done on some Linux systems. This would be useful for two reasons. First, some programs emit warnings that can be ignored, and it would be nice if users could avoid seeing those every time they start the program. Second, and more importantly, standard error is often lost, for instance for programs started by ~/.startxwinrc. It could be useful for package maintainers to be able to ask users to send the contents of ~/.xsession-errors. ~/.xsession-errors is a GDM-ism; as we don't use DMs in Cygwin/X, it would mean implementing it from scratch somewhere else. Also, a quick Google search turned up a bunch of bugs about this file continuously growing to the point of filling the disk partition, which is obviously unacceptable, nor would it be helpful in the way you propose (think: strace snippets). So I would say, probably not. If you want to see errors from a particular program, just start it from console, copy and paste.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] X11R7.7
Cygwin/X has been updated to X.Org X11R7.7. WHAT'S NEW IN X11R7.7? == * Over 140 binary packages have been updated, including the latest upstream improvements and bug fixes. * Complex OpenGL apps, such as those based on Clutter, are now quite usable with the software rasterizer (as used by XWin in desktop mode, or in multiwindow mode where the native WGL implementation is lacking). * EGL and OpenVG are now supported. GLES support is planned for the near future. * Xinerama-aware apps should behave correctly in -multiplemonitor mode. * The modularized Xorg server is available for use with the xf86-video-dummy and xf86-video-nested drivers in place of Xvfb/Xfake and Xnest/Xephyr, respectively. * Development of the 3D Athena widgets library (libXaw3d) has been taken over by X.Org, adding many improvements. * The transset utility has been added. * X API documentation includes cross-reference links to other modules. FURTHER DEVELOPMENT === Development of Cygwin/X is primarily focused on the XWin server; most other components are extremely stable and work OOTB. Anyone who despaired of touching the old monolithic tree will find things much easier with modular packages. If you want to see XWin stay current and add new features, then WE NEED YOU. Here are some of the projects that could be worked on: * Implement hardware-accelerated AIGLX support in desktop mode. * Implement Extended Window Manager Hints in multiwindow mode. * Implement the Composite extension in multiwindow mode. * Implement the XVideo extension. * Implement newest XRandR protocol. FEEDBACK All comments, questions, bug reports, patches, discussion, etc. should take place on the cygwin-xfree list. CREDITS === Jon Turney for continuing to develop xorg-server, pushing our existing patches upstream, and contributing many new patches to this release. Numerous users for their bug reports and patches during the latest development cycle, including: Ken Brown Colin Harrison Keith Lindsay Rodrigo Medina Jörg Mensmann Eliot Moss Oliver Schmidt Yusuke Tamura David Thompson And whomever else I may have inadvertently neglected to mention.

Re: Problems with emacs built against gtk3

Do you see any downside? This is intended solely for testing and debugging. Settings will not be saved from one invocation to the next, so that's a pretty big downside.

I've got a backtrace (attached), but it may not be useful because of optimization. I don't see anything in the backtrace which indicates that this is gtk3-related; I would guess it is a bug in either cygwin or emacs.

Re: X server crash when running texworks
On 2012-04-02 16:14, Ken Brown wrote: Much earlier in the thread I mentioned a warning QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths: /home/kbrown. I've looked at the QtCore sources, and that warning is generated by the function QFileSystemWatcher::addPaths, in corelib/io/qfilesystemwatcher.cpp. If I'm understanding the code correctly, that function tries to use a native (system-specific) FileSystemWatcherEngine if possible. The function QFileSystemWatcherPrivate::createNativeEngine in the same file creates native engines on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS, and Symbian, but not on Cygwin. Correct, as the Windows backend won't work OOTB with *NIX filesystem, and we don't support any of the other native backends. I don't know if it's worth pursuing this, but the failure of FileSystemWatcher could conceivably be the problem here. Do you know enough about Qt to have any ideas about how to proceed? Or Yaakov? The only plausible solutions would be to either: * implement inotify[1] in Cygwin on top of Windows' Directory Change Notification APIs[2] (which would benefit a number of packages); * OR implement a FAM/Gamin-based QFileSystemWatcher backend.

Re: X server crash when running texworks
On 2012-03-29 14:59, Ken Brown wrote: OK, I'm running it now and have attached gdb to it. The good news is that I've been running it for a couple hours with no crash, and I've used texworks and have opened many tex files and pdf files in it without a problem. The bad news is that texworks becomes unresponsive and has to be killed whenever I try to compile a tex file. I have no idea whether this is due to an X server problem or something completely different. fork() errors? Are there any messages on the console? In case you want to try to reproduce the current problem, start texworks, open a tex file (such as the file test1.tex whose contents I listed at the beginning of this thread), and click on the icon at the left end of the toolbar (brown triangle on a green background). This is supposed to cause test1.tex to get compiled, but for me it just causes texworks to become unresponsive. This was working properly with the previous version of the X server (until the server crashed). After I kill texworks, `ps' shows a dbus-daemon process and a dbus-launch process that weren't there before I started texworks, but maybe that's to be expected. texworks uses QtDBus, so it needs a DBus session bus. If one isn't present (which nowadays you need for just about anything), it will start its own instance. If you are using multiwindow with startxwin, I strongly recommend adding the following to the beginning of your ~/.startxwinrc: eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax` Yaakov -- 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 tried stracing, and I think (but I'm not sure) that the warning appears after pango tries to load /usr/lib/pango/1.6.0/modules/pango-basic-fc.dll - there is no /usr/lib/pango directory on my system, and it seems that no package in cygwin or ports repository provides it. That's the clue I needed. I switched pango to builtin modules over a year ago in Ports to help minimize fork() errors, but that didn't reach the distro until now. If I'm right, removing /etc/pango/pango.modules should fix it.
