[BUG] Setup.exe does not work properly with high contrast colour scheme.
Setup does not play well with any of the windows desktop high contrast color schemes. It is usable with High Contrast #2, but utterly unusable with High Contrast Black. Essentially the background for the text used to describe a package or package group is fixed to 'White' rather than the system default. So if you use a windows color scheme like High Contrast Black, which is a black background with white foreground text, you cannot see the displayed text. This is easily verified by running setup.exe under a high contrast scheme, or switching schemes while setup.exe is in the package selection menu. Tim. I've worked myself up from nothing to a state of supreme poverty. -- Groucho Marx

RE: pager and virtual desktops
At first, I was wondering if you meant using SNPP to switch desktops. (Why would anyone want to use telephony to manage a cygwin screen?) I guess that is not your intent. I am guessing you are not using multi-windows. Do you already run twm rather than the default window manager? I have twm create the number of desktops I need. Through prior help from people on this list - Alternatively, I could also run two displays on a cygwin server process or two single-display cygwin server processes. Then I use an Win/XP multi-desktop software, and place each cygwin display window on separate multi-desks. The links attached by cygwin list server at the end of every email would lead you to manuals to show how to run multiple display windows or multiple cygwin servers. Otherwise, someone on the list would be able write out a short routine to illustrate. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Luke Vanderfluit Sent: Tue, December 20, 2005 4:59 PM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: pager and virtual desktops Hi.

Two old X11 problems
Hi, I will refer to two issues that have been around from two years, they are more X11 problems than Cygwin/X problems, but as I understand you Cygwin/X people are close to the people that can fix them. 1- The xman program is not compatible with new versions of man. The program should be modified in order to call nroff with the -c option. See: http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-03/msg00299.html 2- The us_intl keyboard of X11 is very limited. It doesn't have dead accents, and lacks of reversed ! and reversed ?. The Windows US international layout is much better.

Hi, There is a peculiar behavior of run with xmgrace In the Windows cmd shell, XWin is running: C:\set DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 C:\PATH=%PATH%;\cygwin\bin;\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin C:\run xterm then the xterm window appears, but C:\run xmgrace Nothing appears.

To clarify what Holger said: on NTFS, Cygwin does not do its own permission management -- it uses the ACLs on the underlying filesystem and maps them to Unix-style permissions. You can experiment with this mapping by playing with the Cygwin getfacl/setfacl tools (or use cacls, but I found the getfacl output much more palatable). Once you understand how the mapping works, you can change the ACLs appropriately to get the right Unix permission bits from Cygwin. FYI, on FAT filesystems, Cygwin can emulate permissions using NTEA, but those will need to be changed via Cygwin itself -- Windows won't know anything about them, and so none of the pure Windows tools can be used to change them.

Re: download cygwin packages in multiple session

The script compare a latest setup.ini with a local miror of cygwin

I did not have my script when sending this message, but tomorrow I will
look for reply to this message and if there are people interesting to
it, I will post the script to a new message.
This may not be apparent from that FAQ entry, but Michael Chase's

Hi Igor
I submit a second version of the shell script. It correct some bugs
and have new features.
I did not yet look at the clean_setup.pl script, but I will today.
If it's not the appropriate place to post this shell script, let me know.
I will try to find an other place.
Regards, Cj2k5
file: dl-cygwin.doc
Why?
This script is for people that do not have
internet access and have to download cygwin
in multiple session. The reason because setup.exe
cannot help in this situation, is that it must
have access to a local miror of the packages if
a user want to make an update to new packages.
To get these files, a user will have to go at
a Public Internet Access (internet cafe,
library etc) and use a USB flash memory key
to transport packages files.
Some PIA manager would not allow a user to
monopolise a station if there are more then
one transport of package files to do,
or they wont let them leave temporary
file on hardisk (not secure).
Using this shell script,
1. user can download a fresh setup.ini,
2. generate a list of missing packages,
3. download the files at a PIA using wget,
4. go to home and update local miror,
5. repeat 3 and 4 if still missing files.
What is it?
This is a shell script that generate listing of
package files that are missing in a cygwin local
release directory, base on a new setup.ini file.
It can also do a md5 checksum on downloaded files.
The shell script depend on:
- sh, gawk, sort, uniq, cat and sed commands
- a new setup.ini file
- and optionaly an relatively old local
package repository.
The script do not manage cygwin instalation nor
manage local packages miror, it only generate
text files.
These text files can be use to manage a local
packages miror in a shell session,
or use with wget as a list of files to download.
The generated list are splited base on a total
of packages bytes size limit given as argument.
It default to 6000 bytes. To generate only
one file, use '-s 0' in the argument list.
There are 7 type of listing that can be genrated:
1. listing for all the packages bin (_DL_new_all_bin-nnn.txt)
2. listing for all the packages sources (_DL_new_all_src-nnn.txt)
3. partial listing from existing bin packages (_DL_new_bin-nnn.txt)
4. partial listing from existing sources packages (_DL_new_src-nnn.txt)
5. listing for all the packages to [re]move (_mov.txt)
6. report on total files and total size per file list
(_00report_all.txt, _00report.txt)
7. 3 listing of checksum on packages for:
- files that dont move and pass the checksum (_md5_ok.txt),
- files that should be move and cannot be check (_md5_mov.txt),
- and files that fail the checksum (_md5_no.txt).
Availables options:
--help -hprint this help and exit
--version -v print version information and exit
-ab listing for all the packages bin
-as listing for all the packages sources
-pb partial listing from existing bin packages
-ps partial listing from existing sources packages
-d debug (will not erase temp files)
-m create a [re]move list (release dir against setup.ini)
-c compare with md5 checksum (-r dir against setup.ini)
-i file new setup.ini file
-s bytes file group size limit in byte (default 6000),
('-s 0' mean generate only one file)
-r dir location of the local 'release' miror directory
(default ./release)
-t dir target directory you want the files generated
(default ./results)

Listening sockets not always closing?
Hello,
I'm running cygwin 1.5.18 on a number of versions of Windows, and I may
have found a problem closing sockets. I'm seeing this problem on Windows
2000 (no SP) and Windows 2000 SP1, but not on Windows 2000 SP2, SP3 or
SP4, and Windows XP and XP SP2 are also unaffected.
I created a small test program to illustrate this. Basically, in a loop, I
create a SOCK_STREAM socket, call bind() and then listen(), check the
output of netstat, and then close the socket. It works on several
versions of Linux, and Windows = 2000 SP 2, but bind fails with
EADDRINUSE the second time through the loop on Windows = 2000 SP1.
I think this is a cygwin-specific problem because if I try the same thing
with a native windows application using winsock, it works. (I can mail out
this code if anyone wants)
The code for my test program is attached. If I'm doing something stupid
here, I apologize for wasting everyone's time.#include sys/socket.h
#include arpa/inet.h
#include unistd.h
#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
#define PORT 12345
void netstat()
{
char netstat_cmd[100];
sprintf (netstat_cmd, netstat -an -p tcp | /bin/grep %d, PORT);
system (netstat_cmd);
}
int main()
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i 10; i++) {
struct sockaddr_in saddr;
int s;
saddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
saddr.sin_addr.s_addr = 0;
saddr.sin_port = htons(PORT);
s = socket (PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if (s == -1) {
perror (socket);
exit (1);
}
if (bind (s, (struct sockaddr *)saddr, sizeof(saddr)) == -1) {
perror (bind);
exit (1);
}
if (listen (s, 100) == -1) {
perror (listen);
exit (1);
}
printf (Called listen\n);
sleep (1);
netstat();
if (close (s) == -1) {
perror (close);
exit (1);
}
printf (Called close\n);
}
return 0;

Inconvenient ghostscript and transfig dependences
Hi, There are two different gs programs distributed, one linked to the X11 library which is put in /usr/X11R6/bin/gs.exe and another no-X11 that goes into /bin/gs.exe. Here starts the problem: two different programs with the same name. Actually if you have X11 there is no reason of installing the gs-no-X11. Depending on your PATH you get one or the other. In relation to this there is the inconvenient dependence of transfig on gs-no-X11, which is automatically installed even if you have gs-X11. SETUP keeps trying to install gs-no-X11. A pain on the neck.

Basically, in a loop, I create a SOCK_STREAM socket, call bind() and then listen(), check the output of netstat, and then close the socket.

cygwin's files are read-only under normal windows shell
Hello. I've noticed an odd problem with cygwin. When I create a file, e.g. with wget or something similar, the read-only button in windows explorer is set to partialy checked. Is there any way I can prevent this behaviour and allow executable files, for instance, to run without disabling that in windows explorer which doesn't seem to work, or by using chmod --recursive +rwx dirname in the shell?
