Need to update file package utility 5.44 to 5.45 and keychain 2.7.1 to 2.8.5
Hi, The keychain package already has updated by the Ubuntu Team: dpkg --list | grep keychain ii keychain 2.8.5-2 all key manager for OpenSSH And the file package utility because I find bugs inside 5.44 version, and widely used, already inquiry to Ubuntu Team to update (5.41). Here is an example use case that I detected: https://bugs.astron.com/changelog_page.php # Private PKCS8 SSH keys show up as ASCII text. https://bugs.astron.com/view.php?id=443 Regards, Cesar Jorge -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation:https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

The keychain is the better for text mode and lightweight. Has not been updated since 2018 (I see that are finding maintainers), but work well and support for GPG2. The actual is very old 2013...

Re: Cygwin a bit slow
Hi, For me not use AV or disable parts is not an option... Then, if AV is inspecting the CreateProcess, these processes can be known the path of these process? Ex, I launch grep. One AV process can discern the path of these process, or it is impossible to find out if the executable is inside of c:\cygwin64 directory and discard and/or not catch the event, and then inform to the AV enterprises howto to do these tasks? I did the following tests with Avast AV: With all shields stopped or all shields up, same result, one more time that other: Launch multiple while true with echo and grep by example and sleep to results. In all cases, cpu very high and memory progressively up and up until windows crash memory exhausted. The AVs not known howto discern this or it is impossible discern this?

Re: Change for the initial installation of Cygwin to set the default terminal terminal 256 color
Some examples that I view that can do Cygwin better by default: tput colors 8 echo $TERM xterm And if use vim, comparing with one Ubuntu terminal: I need to set "set mouse-=a" because the copy paste is difficult. The colors are very bright. The cursor does not look good when doing a search and moves over the yellow background text. What settings would I need to make it look like Ubuntu's vim? I don't know if I can put screenshots to explain it better.

Re: Cygwin a bit slow
Hi Adam, It would be nice to contribute, although my knowledge is not high, I could review problems and try things. There are two things that are difficult for me. One is to search the Cygwin Archives, you could have a way to search for them directly on the Cygwin website. And another is to have powerful tools to look for problems and a FAQ where they can explain their use in detail (windows and linux tools). I think it's not all problems in Cygwin, many times they are conflicts with other software (antivirus is one). Specifically for this problem, I have investigated the problem and can be related to pipes and antivirus. Specifically while true do echo ABC | grep AAA done It makes the cpu of that antivirus go up. I have seen that the pipes make use of \??\pipe routes which I have seen at https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html I have it configured to exclude c:\cygwin64 and perhaps those paths of those pipes are having effects in that other software.

Cygwin a bit slow
Hi, I'm seeing that Cygwin is a bit slow, directly and after comparing to simple ubuntu virtual machines by example. Specifically: - Copy and paste texts in vim, I see clearly the slow in paste. - Using sed and/or grep that count approx. between 6x and 8x respect to virtual machine simple ubuntu. - In general multiple bash commands are slower. Can you analyze this? I'm use the last updated Windows 11 and a fresh Cygwin.
