I googled up this documentation which states "All subdirectories in the
directory path you specify will also be excluded."
 
https://docs.trendmicro.com/all/smb/wfbs-services/server/wfbs-svc/v3.7/en/docs/WebHelp/_WFBS-SVC/C08-Scans/ExcludingFilesFoldersFromScans.htm

I changed the exclusion to be C:\cygwin64

But I still have no luck in starting XWin.exe, unfortunately.

Did you get any further with this?

I added the directory C:\cygwin64\bin to the Trend Micro exclusion list,
but that didn't help: XWin.exe still won't start.

Is it neccessary to do some kind of cache flushing? If so: how?

Thanks!

Here's another datapoint:
After trying to start XWin.exe, the keyboard on the laptop becomes
sluggish and laggy and the only way I've found to get it normal again,
is to reboot the Windows 10 laptop.

Didn't help me, unfortunately.

Here's what I did:
 1. Search up XWin.exe in the tastrt menu and open the location
 2. Windows explore opened on the start menu shortcut
 3. I right-clicked the XWin.exe shortcut and selected "Open location"
 4. This opened C:\cygwin64\bin
 5. I right-clicked C:\cygwin64\bin\XWin.exe and selected Properties...
 6. In the propertiesd dialog I selected the "Compatibility" tab
 7. In the compatibility tab I selected Windows 7 compatibility as shown here: 
https://www.groovypost.com/howto/geek-stuff/run-a-program-in-windows-7-compatibility-mode/
 8. I clicked on the "OK" button
 9. I tried running XWin.exe from the cygwin bash command line, but it exited

There were no XWin processes in the "Processes" tab of the task manager.

I couldn't see any XWin processes in sysinternals procexp64 either.  And
search for "xwin" in procexp gave no matches.

Ok. xlaunch is still on the list in [1] and it has worked fine for me
until these problems started.

It seems likely that this is something that happened in the recent Win10
upgrade.  But the problem is figuring out what, since there isn't much
in the way of error messages. :-)

Nothing in /usr/bin but there is an lxterminal.exe.stackdump in my home
directory (I'm guessing that it isn't really helpful though. It probably
only crashed because there was no XWin to connect to).

I've attached the lxterminal stack trace to this message (this is from
one of the xlaunch attempts because lxterminal is what I start locally
with XWin).

I renamed environment HOME to HOME_DISABLED (in advanced system
settings) and rebooted.

cmd.exe showed that HOME was gone.

However, in cygwin bash HOME was still set to the profile directory and
that was still used as the HOME dir.

startxwin still failed to start X.

Ok.

FWIW I have used cygwin ssh for two things:
 1. Launching mosh sessions (this still worked after the Win10 upgrade)
 2. Running "ssh -Y " sessions from lxterminal launched with XWin by xlaunch
and it has worked fine until the reboot followed by the Win10 upgrade.

mosh still works, and normal ssh (without -Y) from cygwin terminals
still works, after the Win10 upgrade.

I changed the /etc/nsswitch.conf file, and rebooted to ensure all
processes had been killed.  But cygwin still seemed to use the
windows profile directory.  I still have HOME set to the profile
directory.  I have all of my unix-y program setup files there (used by
GNU emacs, git bash, and mingw utilities)

But still no luck in launching XWin, either with xlaunch or from the
command line.

I will unset HOME and reboot and try again.

For now, here's the output from the launch from the cygwin console:

What files is it XWin tries to write? And where does it try to write
them?

Thanks!

I was missing the xinit package and installed xinit 1.4.1-1 and then I
got startxwin.

It failed in the startup with messages that looks similar to the ones
output to the log file:

I thought it might be because xorg-scripts wasn't installed, so I
installed xorg-scripts 1.0.1-1, but it didb't make startxwin appear.

I *do* have xorg-server 1.20.5-3 installed (and it was working until a

startxwin is supposed to be installed with xorg-server?

The log doesn't have any obvious errors, but I've tried googling the
most error-message-like lines (so far without any luck).

I tried googling "xorg.conf is not supported" and found
 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27526938/x-does-not-start-after-cygwin-upgrade
(title was promising but this is from 2014 and probably irrelevant)

I tried googling "Returning, supported engines 0005" and found
 https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/cygwin/2015-09/msg00084.html
(title also promising, but from 2015 and probably irrelevant as well)


Is the problem that I'm using xlaunch?  From the version number it looks
like it is from 2016?  Has the world change enough that it now longer
works for launching x?

What does people use to launch cygwin X these days?

cygwin x11 doesn't start after windows 10 upgrade

2020-06-11 Thread Steinar Bang

Platform: amd64, windows 10 10.0.18363 Build 18363,
  cygwin xorg-server 1.20.5-3, xlaunch 20160530-1

I start X11 by double clicking the following config.xlaunch:
 https://gist.github.com/steinarb/8687e2113c601e061da909e75a180f39

After the reboot caused by a windows 10 upgrade, launching X11 using
xlaunch have stopped working.

I have tried:
 1. Running xlaunch directly instead of double clicking config.xlaunch
 2. Running setup-86_64.exe to install all pending upgrades
 3. Running setup-86_64.exe to reinstall xlaunch
 4. Running setup-86_64.exe to reinstall xorg-server

But none of this has made any difference.

Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be?

Here's XWin.0.log from a startup attempt:

Turns out emacs was easy to fix.

I removed a line from my ancient (not really changed since 2004 (a
little bit changed in 2011 for an application I don't use anymore), and
with history going back to the late 80-ies, early 90-ies) .Xdefaults
file on the server side:
 Emacs*Font:
-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1

But eclipse will probably be a harder nut to crack.

Adjust the default font size from the server side

2020-05-02 Thread Steinar Bang

I run "ssh -Y " connections from cygwin xfree to the same server from
two separate laptops.

I run a script that starts GNU Emacs and eclipse IDE on th server,
displaying on the laptop.

One of the laptops has a fairly low screen resolution (1366x768), the
other has a fairly high resolution (1920x1080).

Is it possible to set the default font sizes for each application on the
server side so that the applications look good on both laptops (right
now the text is so small that it is hard to read on the 1920x1080
display).

Thanks!

The XWin.20180308-git-3ca71c7f563c3e91.exe file did not work
unfortunately:
 - With no extra argument eclipse showed up squashed
 - With "-extension XRANDR" (my mistake, working for memory), nothing
   worked (I didn't try again with the right argument)

With this XWin.exe eclipse showed up without requiring any extra
arguments.

Thanks for fixing this! :-)

The documentation for the eclipse executable doesn't list the typical
X11 arguments, and when I tried -geometry it didn't seem to have any
effect.

I have downloaded it and bunzip2'd it and started it from the command
line, and it started and displayed a big black window.

But I'm unsure how to start it in the same way as XLaunch starts and how
to fire up lxterminal locally...?

I added "-extension RANDR" to "Additional parameters for X server" in
the "Extra settings" window of the XLaunch wizard, and then eclipse
oxygen started fine.

However, this time I got a lot of GTk warnings.  Perhaps it didn't get
far enough, previously...?  It didn't start outputting anything until
after I had selected a workspace in the initial workspace selection
dialog. 

The output from starting eclipse:

There's only one message but it doesn't look relevant to this:

org.eclipse.m2e.logback.configuration bundle was activated before the state

(emacs outputs a heap of GTk messages, though. But it comes up normally,

Eclipse running on debian with remote display to cygwin X11 starts all squashed to a point

2018-03-06 Thread Steinar Bang

Here's what I do:
 - Start cygwin XLaunch for the Windows 10 desktop
   - Select "Multiple windows"
   - Launch the lxterminal locally
 - In an lxterminal tab do the command
ssh -Y myhost.mydomain.lan
 - In the ssh session give the command
~/eclipse/java-oxygen/eclipse/eclipse

What happens is that:
 1. First the banner starts and displays normally
 2. Then a window shows up squashed to a point, there is an eclipse icon
(possibly intended for the toolbar) near the point, but it can't be
selected
 3. It's not possible to stretch or resize the point
 4. I tried pressing the return to select the default in the workspace
select dialog (which is the first dialog to open when eclipse is
started normally)

I think the problem is with cygwin X and/or the way I'm running it,
because I have tried doing "ssh -Y " from a terminal window on the
debian computer's mate desktop to a different computer, and then doing a
new "ssh -Y" from the remote computer and back to the debian and then
started eclipse on the debian computer.  And that eclipse started
normally, running through two ssh X forwards.

Does anyone know what might be causing the eclipse display problem, and
what I can do to fix it?

Thanks!

Thanks! That worked!

Here's what I did:
 1. Let the mkpasswd program create an /etc/passwd for my user
 sb@ITEM-S63383:~$ mkpasswd -c -p "$(cygpath -H)" >/etc/passwd
 sb@ITEM-S63383:~$

 2. Checked the content of the generated /etc/passwd
 sb@ITEM-S63383:~$ grep sb /etc/passwd
 
sb:*:1294839:1049089:U-AD\sb,S-1-5-21-2260904419-1400770398-4175912926-246263:/cygdrive/d/Profiles/sb:/bin/bash
 sb@ITEM-S63383:~$

 3. Checked what getent said and it still gave /home/sb as the home
directory
 sb@ITEM-S63383:~$ getent passwd sb
 
sb:*:1294839:1049089:U-AD\sb,S-1-5-21-2260904419-1400770398-4175912926-246263:/home/sb:/bin/bash
 sb@ITEM-S63383:~$

 4. Stopped all cygwin windows

 5. Started a new cygwin window and now the home directory was correct
 sb@ITEM-S63383:~$ getent passwd sb
 
sb:*:1294839:1049089:U-AD\sb,S-1-5-21-2260904419-1400770398-4175912926-246263:/cygdrive/d/Profiles/sb:/bin/bash

Problems with users home directory on cygwin64 on Windows 10

2018-02-07 Thread Steinar Bang

Platform: Intel i7, Windows 10 Pro
  Cygwin64

I installed cygwin X yesterday (basically the xorg-server, xlaunch,
lxterminal, openssh and mosh).  SSH doesn't work in the resulting
installation because cygwin believes the home directory is /home/sb.

I have set HOME as an environment variable, that in cygwin looks like:
 HOME=/cygdrive/d/Profiles/sb

getent reports the following:
 sb@ITEM-S63383:~$ getent passwd sb
 
sb:*:1294839:1049089:U-AD-ONE\sb,S-1-5-21-2260904419-1400770398-4175912926-246263:/home/sb:/bin/bash
 sb@ITEM-S63383:~$

The user "sb" is an AD user and the computer belongs to an active domain.

I have tried the following:
 1. Adding the following line to the /etc/nsswitch.conf file (also known
as C:\cygwin64\etc\nsswitch.conf ):
 db_home:  windows
 2. Stopped all cygwin windows, but this didn't help
 3. Changed the config to
 db_home:  /%H
 4. Stopped all cygwin windows, but the home directory was still
/home/sb
 5. Changed the /etc/nsswitch.conf file back to
 db_home:  windows
 5. Rebooted, but home directory was still /home/sb
 6. Checked for /etc/password and/or /etc/group, but no such file were
present

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Bash startup problems on Windows 2008 server

2008-06-25 Thread Steinar Bang

I tried installing cygwin (the current setup.exe from www.cygwin.com) on
a freshly installed Windows 2008 server.

The installation started normally, and I didn't see anything strange
until I was going to check up on the progress.  Then the cygwin setup
window was gone.

There was no desktop icon, but there was a start menu entry.  When I
selected the Cygwin Bash Shell entry, a command line window flashed up
and disappeared.

I tried running the install again, using all defaults from the original
install.  I got no error messages, but again no desktop icon was
created.

Trying to select the start menu item, gave me the same command line
window popping up, and then disappearing.

I started cmd.exe and ran bash, and got the following (which looks
similar to what's displayed in the window that opens and disappears):

C:\Users\myuser\cygwin\bin\bash
  2 [main] bash 3832 _cygtls::handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VI
OLATION
480 [main] bash 3832 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to bash.exe.sta

OLATION
 425466 [main] bash 3832 _cygtls::handle_exceptions: Error while dumping state (
probably corrupted stack)

Anyone has any idea what might be wrong here?

Thanx!

Problems installing on vista, no /bin in path

2008-05-23 Thread Steinar Bang

I clicked on the setup.exe on the http://cygwin.com page, and tried
installing cygwin on a Vista system.  The installation seemed to go
fine, but I got an error message at the end.

Still, the cygwin icon appeared on the desktop, and when double clicking
on the desktop I got a bash prompt.

However, I didn't find any other programs.

I've tried re-running the setup.exe as administrator three times.  The
first time I got the same error message at the end.  The second time I
didn't recreate the start menu entry, and the desktop icon, and got no
error message at the end.  The third time I recreated the desktop icon
and start menu entry, but got no error message.

But the behaviour didn't change: no applications were found.

echo $PATH revealed that /bin was not in the PATH.  What's the simplest
way to fix that?

Also, the desktop shortcut set no working directory.  Is this normal?
Shouldn't the working directory be whatever is the working directory of
the user.

The user account I created the cygwin installation under originally, and
am trying to use it under, is a domain user that is local administrator
on the vista machine.

All hints, tips, etc appreciated!

Thanx!

 Unfortunately, you wouldn't be able to distribute the resulting

IANAL, but... can this be right?

If I write an application for UNIX/linux and make it available under
some other license than GPL, and someone else ports it to CygWin, I
don't see how this would automatically make my application be GPL'd?

An in any case, this would only apply to the JDK in this case.  A Java
application running inside the JDK shouldn't be affected in any way.

Ah well.  Off-topic I guess.  And it isn't even Friday anymore.

 Steinar,
 XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-3 is Test95.

 So, no, your bug is not fixed in Test95.

 Besides, your bug seems to occur when you simply click on the tray
 icon, before you even get a menu, correct?

Nope.  It happens after I've selected Exit.

 The XFree86-bin-icons-4.3.0-2 package has been updated in the Cygwin
 distribution.

Is there a way to list the content of an installed cygwin package?
Ie. something like rpm -ql or dpkg -L?

The other day I was looking for a nice icon to use on my startxwin.bat
shortcut(s) on the desktop, and I was wondering if one could be found
in here?

2003-08-14 Thread Steinar Bang

Platform: Intel PIII, Win2k professional,
  XFree86-xserv 4.3.0-3

Now I've crashed Win2k twice in one day, by opening the RMBM on the
icon in the tool tray, and selecting Exit.

The XFree86-xserv process had been started with the following command
line: 
 start XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -xf86config /etc/X11/XF86Config -keyboard 
Keyboard1

The first time it happened I had the root window visible, but the
second time I did not have the root window visible, and all X windows
were closed.

I don't have the time to reproduce this willingly, but if someone
tells me what I should look at I can do so if it happens again.

There doesn't seem to be anything obvious in /tmp/XWin.log
(attached).

 I captured the screen shots into Paint Shop Pro, and saved the
 images directly to JPG. I didn't save them into BMP, unfortunately.

Once you have saved them as JPEGs, the blurring has already occurred. 

What happens is that sharp transitions are blurred because of the
quantization done by the JPEG algorithm.  Basically, the high
frequency components in the image are chopped away.

 Is access from nonlocal machine allowed? Some distributions install

I know that debian testing and RedHat 7.2 does this.  My guess is that
all distributions does this for security reasons.

 Good idea. I'm going to call it xfree86-xwin though. I think I'll
 put the startup-scripts.tgz in this package.

An extra bonus with this package would be to create minimized installs
that just talk XDMCP to some display manager, and has no X

That's how I used CygWin/XFree86 anyway.

Re: changing default text type without reinstall?

2002-02-06 Thread Steinar Bang


 Michael A Chase [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

[...]
 I think you found most of what you needed, but did the articles you
 found explain enough?  If not, what parts were insufficient or
 unclear?

An example of changing the line ending convention for a part of the
directory tree would have saved me from pondering the command line
arguments and why they went wrong.

Also, I'm still not sure how the line ending conversion works.

I tried notepad.exe both on /home/sba/.bashrc and on some files in a
freshly checked out CVS workspace, and files both places showed up
correctly.

I then tried notepad.exe on a file in the /etc directory, and this
file still had only LF line separators, as seen from notepad.

This means that it probably wasn't neccessary for me to check out the
CVS workspace again, because all files in the directories under the
new mount point were changed somehow? (since notepad.exe doesn't read
any form of cygwin config)

An explanation of the principles makes it easier to understand what to
do, and what to expect.

[snip!]
 The thing that puzzles me about that error message is that it didn't
 complain about c:cygwinhome instead since the bash command line
 reader uses '\' as an escape character.  The easy way to avoid that
 problem is to use '/' instead of '\' even in Windows paths passed to
 cygwin programs.

I tried
mount -t c:/cygwin/home /home
and that worked fine.

 There are two types of mount points, user and system.  By default
 mount creates user (-u) mount points.  These only apply to the
 current user and override the corresponding system mount points.
 Normally I only create system (-s) mount points.

Ah, I should have used 
mount -s -t c:/cygwin/home /home
I guess (I didn't read this far before running the command...:-) ).

Thanx for your help!

Getting line ending conversion (crlf - lf) in cygwin cvs?

2002-01-30 Thread Steinar Bang


Platform: CygWin 1.3.2, CygWin/XFree86 4.1.0, Win2k

I installed cygwin with default text type Unix.

This is what is recommended by the cygwin/xfree86 User's Guide:
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup-cygwin-installing.html
(item 7, in the list in the above URL).

So what I'm wondering now, is:

 1. is it possible to make cygwin CVS do line ending translation,
without changing the default text type for all of cygwin?

 2. is it possible to change the default line ending for a cygwin
installation, without reinstalling cygwin?

 3. will changing the default line ending convention for cygwin
interfere with cygwin/xfree86?  I assume the choice is in the
User's Guide for a reason?  Will it help that I'm not running any
cygwin native X clients?  I'm using XDMCP to log in to linux boxes

Thanx!
