Problem with starting X up - again!
Hi! I have recently installed Cygwin/X and have encountered a problem with starting up the X server. I have browsed through this mailing list and didn't find a solution, although many people seem to share this problem. When I start X through startxwin.sh it displays some text and hangs up. I tried different command-line option combinations. Particularly, with -screen 0 640 480 I get a 640x480 unresponsive window and also uresponsive tray icon (but no fatal errors in bash window). No matter which window manager I use. Finally I found a post where someone say that killing some process unlocks everything. I did some testing here and I finally got it: After running startxwin.sh I have to manually (e.g. through Task Manager) kill the xkbcomp.exe process and everything proceeds as expected.

What's the difference? I mean, you're still using i after erasing it.
Shouldn't it be something along the lines of
{
/* Should we erase */
pkg.versions::iterator next_i = i;
++next_i;
if(next_i == pkg.versions.end()){
pkg.versions.erase(i);

Re: sshd install problems | WinXP Pro system
* Evan Cooch (2005-09-10 22:08 +0100) After 2-3 hours googling for insights, and thoroughly reading what was available, I've decided to stop beating my head against the wall, and ask here. Basically, trying to get sshd installed as a service under WinXP Pro -SP2. Trying the install as a user who has full admin privelages on the system. 1. downloaded Cygwin - installed what I needed (cygrunsrv and openssh) in addition to the usual defaults. No muss, no fuss. 2. modifed the env variables by adding a variable named CYGWIN with value ntsec tty Not necessary. 3. added c:\cygwin\bin to the PATH Not necessary. 4. now is when the problems seem to start (I think)...when I run host-ssh-config, I get only one question - the one about 'privelage separation'. I answer 'yes' Thats it. No further questions - nothing about 'local user', or 'install sshd as a service', or the 'CYGWIN=' question. Hmmm... 5. bring up a terminal window, and type cygrunsrv --start sshd Nada. After about 60 seconds of 'trying', it quits, and refuses to start. Reboot 10 or so times - find the sshd is sitting there as a service, but not started . Manual starts all fail. 6. Try chown and chmod for various files as mentioned on several Google sites. Nada. Still can't get sshd to start. So, given that there must be at least several hundred hits on 'sshd won't start' on Google, seems as if this is a ubiquitous, and pernicious problem. Surely there has to be a simple solution. suggestions? Pointers to solution? The machine is generic, vanilla, clean XP SP2. I'd have thought that the sshd install should have been about as straightforward as you could get, but no such luck. Try again. Remove the service (cygrunsrv -R) and try without separation.

Other than that, look at your event log and see if there is any further information about the failed service startup. You mention host-ssh-config, is that a typo? the script is named ssh-host-config.

Re: sshd install problems | WinXP Pro system
As above - if not, then why specify it in http://pigtail.net/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html That page is made by somebody that is not in the Cygwin team, it may be correct or not (the points marked as not necessary by Thorsten are really not necessary but they don't interfere) but you are asking the Cygwin list not the author of that page, so: Fair enough - whats bizarre then is why 90% or so of the Google hits out there point to this page, and not to anything on the Cygwin list (that I found). Perhaps this is the sort of page the someone who is involved with Cygwin should put together, given the frequency with which it seems to come up. Follow the instructions in C:\Cygwin\usr\share\doc\Cygwin\openssh.README, that is the official documentation. OK - thanks. I'll have a look. Other than that, look at your event log and see if there is any further information about the failed service startup. Will do. You mention host-ssh-config, is that a typo? the script is named ssh-host-config. Whoops - yup. Its failure is very strange, perhaps you have a corrupted installation, you are not using text mode, are you? (in setup you have to select if Cygwin is installed for all users or not, text- or bin-mode, best results are with for all and binmode (a.k.a. Unix)). Selected for all users. Was never asked about text- or bin-mode. Re-installed twice on suspicion it might be corruption problem - same result on both occasions. It installed fine, but then when running ssh-host-config, it simply asked about privelage separation. Nothing more. You should run ssh-host-config in debug mode (i.e. ssh-host-config -d) and see what was the last thing it did, why did it exit? was there an error message?

Re: sshd install problems | WinXP Pro system
Follow the instructions in C:\Cygwin\usr\share\doc\Cygwin\openssh.README, that is the official documentation. OK - have now gone through said README twice. Somewhat helpful, but largely obtuse in places. e.g., If you start sshd as deamon via cygrunsrv.exe you MUST give the -D option to sshd. Otherwise the service can't get started at all. Meaning, what? You pass -D as an argument when invoking cygrunsrv --start sshd? Hmmm...trying that gives the error message that -D is not a valid option for sshd - which makes the text in the README hard to interpret. Other than that, look at your event log and see if there is any further information about the failed service startup. Nothing...

(in setup you have to select if Cygwin is installed for all users or not, text- or bin-mode, best results are with for all and binmode (a.k.a. Unix)). OK - now I know what you're after. I re-downloaded setup.exe, ran it, and tried BOTH text, and binmode (i.e., tried it with text mode - then after deleting c:\cygwin, tried again with binmode). Made no difference. As for a corrupted installation - I tried the above procedure using 3 different download mirrors. Made no difference. Each time when I run ssh-host-config (following a clean install of cygwin), it 1. generates the keys 2. asks about using privilege separation And thats it - it doesn't ask me for anything else - it doesn't ask if I want to create 'sshd' as a local user, or if I want in install as a service, or anything after the privilege separation query. When I run ssh-host-config -d (i.e., in debug mode) as suggested, there was nothing obvious about why it exited - there were no error messages at all. It simply said I was finished. Is there a log file I should look at (and post here) that might help suss out what its not working? But, since I can't get the service to start, obvious all is not well. So, I'm wondering if at this point I should manually do what ssh-host-config is apparently refusing to do - if this is an option, could someone provide the basic steps? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Re: Segfault in Cactid

What configure/make options should I be using to incorporate debug symbols? http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.programming.html#faq.programming.building-cygwin The default compiler options include -g so you get symbols by default. Note that in recent CVS versions this means a seperate .dbg file. You can also add --enable-debugging to ./configure, but this enables a number of things in the code, not just compiler flags. Grep for #ifdef DEBUGGING in the source for details. Mostly this means more verbose strace ourput and some extra sanity checking. The previous version of Cactid did not have this problem. The one major change in this version of Cactid is that I am using upto 100 process threads and each thread is allocating large amounts of memory using primarily the calloc function. I was wondering if maybe Cygwin is having difficulty making memory available to the calloc function after several threads have chopped up the heap. Until you debug the crash it's all just speculation. It could be a million things. That said, even if the above was the case, Cygwin should not crap its pants and dereference a NULL pointer no matter how bad the heap is thrashed, so something is definitely wrong. Brian Brian, I have applied the September 9th SNAPSHOT. I noted that on the 5th and 6th of September the ChangeLog's sounded quite familiar. I am currently running 2.5 hours without issue. Jury's still out, but one of the bug fixes was associated with attempting to close/free a NULL pointer. :) Larry Adams The Cacti Group -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Re: Intermittent scp crash on completion, Win98 SE, snapshot
Unfortunately, using strace -p on the running scp process, with the latest snapshot, just brings up an unkillable invalid page fault in KERNEL32.DLL dialog. I now officially have no clue how to track this problem down. (Well, okay, in theory I could compile myself debugging versions of all appropriate exe's and dll's and run it all under gdb, but since this is likely beyond my current level of competence, I'm not considering it a clue.) I'll willingly test any shot-in-the-dark attempts to fix it, but otherwise I'll live with the innocuous page fault messages that actually go away when I close them and don't seem to hurt anything.
