You can't determine remote port state unless it explicitly reported (i.e. answers to the messages sent on that port). -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Thursday, March 30, 2017 19:36:15 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

I tried this command on Debian 8.7. My conclusion is that this didn't tell me that the UDP port is listened to by another machine. I used your exact command, which had similarly uninformative results as yours. There is no 10.31.x.x machine that I can reach, yet 'nc -u' allowed me to send text to that address and port. Strace of 'nc -uz' showed that the special -z option (zero i/o port scan) code "sent successfully" a single byte to the destination, even though it doesn't exist. I conclude that "nc -uz" can't be used to determine unambiguously if a UDP host is available, because it will succeed even if the host is not present. And that carries to all systems that use the same 'nc' utility as Debian or Cygwin. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

This could have happened if you were using Cygwin 1.7 (I think) and then upgraded to a brand new version of Cygwin.

Re: XRaiseWindow for activating windows in multiwindow mode In-Reply-To: 53a2b675.3020...@gmx.de
I used my patch from 2011 every day for the last three years and it worked always without any problems. I was also able to incorporate this patch into the newest cygwin x server running under 64-bit cygwin without any problems.

Of course it would be nice, if a better solution was available. For pragmatic reasons it would be nice to include this patch into official cygwin x server until a better solution is available.

I've run cygcheck and tried this on two systems with the same
results; at this point I'm assuming the problem is not local so I'm

up if my assumption turns out to be incorrect.
The issue is triggering an assert dumps core. Trivial test case:
#includeassert.h
int main()
{
assert(1==0);
return 1;
}
causes a core dump. I originally noticed this is a gdb session and the
triggered assert leaves a bt showing windows info so it looks like the
stack unwinding is having a bad day.
When an assertion fails, it calls abort().
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/assert.html
Are you saying it's not doing this?
No, it calls abort; I get that. I wasn't clear the issue isn't a
normal core dump with useable data, the core always shows a few
unhelpful stack frames in ntdll. Same in gdb, the stackdump is not
showing any user frames at all. Even setting a break in gdb on assert
leaves you with a stack dump as follows:
#0 0x776ff861 in ntdll!RtlUpdateClonedSRWLock ()
from C:\windows\SysWOW64\ntdll.dll
(gdb) bt
#0 0x776ff861 in ntdll!RtlUpdateClonedSRWLock ()
from C:\windows\SysWOW64\ntdll.dll
#1 0x776ff861 in ntdll!RtlUpdateClonedSRWLock ()

#2 0x77210816 in WaitForSingleObjectEx ()
from C:\windows\syswow64\KERNELBASE.dll
#3 0x0140 in ?? ()
#4 0x in ?? ()
I mangled and wrapped the above manually. In my experience i normally
see helpful information including the function calls leading to the
assert. Seems something is happening during the stack unwinding and
the resulting core is sub optimal. I'm not trying or expecting to
trace through assert, I'd just like to see a trace leading up the
event.

It's not a goal of this project to be a distributor of other project's binaries. Xming does, as you know, distribute their own X server, which has its own benefits and detriments when compared with Cygwin's offering. We certainly don't discourage people from trying Xming's X server or other project's software (as long as those who try it and have any problems or questions don't ask here ;-) ). But Cygwin won't be distributing this other software. Clearly there are issues with Cygwin's X package. The most troublesome ones all stem from the lack of a maintainer. If you've read the Cygwin-X list lately, you know there is someone who has expressed interest in becoming the maintainer here. If that does come to pass, then my guess is things will improve on this front. Until then, we're stuck with the status quo. So if anyone reading this thread would like to help move Cygwin-X into the 21st century, please volunteer. I expect that even if more than one maintainer materializes, there's plenty of work to go around. ;-) But since the question revolves around X, I would suggest inquiring on the Cygwin-X list if this hasn't already been tried.

Xming does, as you know, distribute their own X server, which has its own benefits and detriments when compared with Cygwin's offering. We certainly don't discourage people from trying Xming's X server or other project's software (as long as those who try it and have any problems or questions don't ask here ;-) ). But Cygwin won't be distributing this other software. Clearly there are issues with Cygwin's X package. The most troublesome ones all stem from the lack of a maintainer. If you've read the Cygwin-X list lately, you know there is someone who has expressed interest in becoming the maintainer here. If that does come to pass, then my guess is things will improve on this front. Until then, we're stuck with the status quo. So if anyone reading this thread would like to help move Cygwin-X into the 21st century, please volunteer. I expect that even if more than one maintainer materializes, there's plenty of work to go around. ;-) This suggestion is really need for Vinod, I think. Definitely. -- Easy + Joy + Powerful = Yahoo!

Re: Cygwin problems under Vista (pleae reply from others)
Hello For people who did not concern this topic, I draw back the first mail from Vinod Gupta and his first and last mails. After I wrote the above, I have been thought about the issues. I am a one of the user of the cygwin. But I am an unofficial octave on cygwin maintainter. (my web http://www.geocities.jp/tmacchant/) (Why my octave on cygwin is to be unofficial is the result after long discussion here.) Cygwin depends on the voluntary works like other freesotware like octave. From the free software maintainer stand point, users themselves should take part in the discussions. From those discussions, the software is to be better and you are also to be one of contributors. For the first point by Vinod, I cannot answer because I do not know how the cygwin setup works. However, I also required to execute rebaseall to the grace work. To do this, I wrote mails and the reply suggest me to do that. I could not find about rebasing in the cygwin FAQ. My opinion is that what is important rebasisng is explained in the web. Insisting of the impovement of the setup from users is natural. However, I also consider users understand that the cygwin depend on the voluntary works. What is best is the person who has the opinion to the cygwin will be involved to solve the problem together. However it is in reality difficult for the common users. Please wait for a while and pay self efforts to use the cygwin. The vista will be populated more and more. I think that the population of the vista power users will incresed with time. At that time the problems will be gradually solved. This is my opinion on this issue. The second is the problem of the cygwin-X. Perhaps the possibilty of the maintainer of the cygwin-X will appear is low. My opinion was already state in the previous mail. The cygwin-X has problem on the vista and recommend to use the Xming is stated on the web. I think that it is enough. I would like to hear the opinion those who deeply working for the cygwin.

Shall I be required to rebaseall every time there are new versions of DLLs released? Why not make it a part of cygwin installer? 2) It seems there is no reliable fix for XFree86 and people have suggested Xming which works fine for me.

You probably don't have the same problem. The OP's problem was having the
backslash escaping the space between {} and ; meaning that the whole sequence
was treated as one word {} ; rather than two words {} and ;. Unless you
made the same mistake in your command line, your problem is a different one.
I found a solution not included in the followups:
Essentially the same solution!
Try it without the \ before the ;
Actually, the cause of your problem is that you're running all the commands
from a DOS shell, not a bash shell, so the ; does not need to be escaped as it
is only a command terminator in bash, not cmd.exe; your solution *will* fail
in a bash shell.

Xlib: unexpected connection setup reply from server, type 46
Hi, I am mailing the list with a problem that occurs when Cygwin/X is started while a certain other program is running. I searched the list archives to see if this was discussed before, but could not find a reference to it. After startx is entered in the Cygwin terminal, the X Windows system begins to start. It gives this message: winClipboardProc - Could not open display, try: n, sleeping: 4 Xlib: unexpected connection setup reply from server, type 46 After 40 tries, it gives up with this message: winClipboardProc - Failed opening the display, giving up Cygwin/X finally times out and then starts, and the GUI Linux binary starts too, but when a clipboard operation in that binary is attempted, Cygwin says: winProcSetSelectionOwner - Clipboard not yet started, aborting. The other program is FieldWorks Language Explorer, freely available from http://www.sil.org/computing/FieldWorks/BTE-FW_downloads.htm. While this program runs, Cygwin/X gives the above messages. Vice versa, when Cygwin/X runs, the Language Explorer won't run but crashes on startup. If the Language Explorer is not running, Cygwin/X starts fine. Is this a known problem? Any workarounds?

ssmtp up for grabs (was Re: 6th summary (was Re: [HEADSUP] ALL Maintainers, please reply.))
I was maintaining ssmtp, but would like someone else to take it over. I haven't touched it for months, haven't been using Cygwin, haven't been reading the Cygwin mailing lists. I just happened to see Corinna's headsup when I was guiltily searching for messages about it I would have missed. It is a very simple little tool for a very small job. Maintaining it could be almost no work at all. It would probably be nice to sync up with the upstream Debian package, and it would probably be nice to make SSL support on by default, so that people who want it don't have to recompile, but that's all I can even think of to do. Best, Robert

This was one argument for having a separate xwinclip application. Your comment above implies that this issue is fixed in the newer X releases, right? Igor I only put about a month into fixing that... the final design is that we register our own cookie with the server so that we can always connect, plus we overload ProcEstablishConnection to wait until several clients have connected (usually the Xdm server) before we connect; this causes us to be inserted into the connection list only after the Xdm server has killed all existing client connections. xwinclip is an abomination that still steals the ownership of the X selection and forces copies of data that are never pasted. If there are any remaining problems with the new clipboard system and Xdmcp (I'm pretty sure there are not), then they need to be fixed (not too hard, this would just be tweaks to the existing work-around), rather than providing the broken alternative that is xwinclip. Here's the last time I fixed a problem related to the clipboard support and Xdmcp (21 months to the day): http://x.cygwin.com/devel/server/changelog-100.html Release 4.3.0-34 Released: 2004-01-10 0200 EST Harold

But before I package it, was a decision ever made about including giflib in the net release (in terms of legalities)? This will make a big difference in how I would package libungif. We already had this discussion awhile back, and despite the FUD from the FSF, the patent has long since expired worldwide. The only company which might have a claim is IBM (which expires at the end of this year), do you really think they'd care (given their recnt battle with SCO)? Most other opensource packages with LZW capabilities have already quitely re-integrated it back into the default source. I don't think the FSF information given on http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/gif.html qualifies as FUD. http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2005-09/msg00189.html Fedora also only supports uncompressing gifs via libungif. Other packages, like gimp, don't support creating LZW compressed GIFs, unly uncompressed or run-length encoded. This means, let's stick with libungif until at least 2006-08-12.

We already had this discussion awhile back, and despite the FUD from the FSF, the patent has long since expired worldwide. The only company which might have a claim is IBM (which expires at the end of this year), do you really think they'd care (given their recnt battle with SCO)? Most other opensource packages with LZW capabilities have already quitely re-integrated it back into the default source. Cheers, Nicholas

So, ALL maintainers of Cygwin packages, please reply to this mail within the next six weeks, including a list of ALL packages you maintain. This survey will run until 2005-10-31. I will ping every week, so you have a bit of time. However, if you don't reply until 2005-10-31, your packages will be up for grabs. Which means, they will disappear from the Cygwin net distribution if nobody wants to take over maintainership. Below are the results as of today 2005-09-26. It would be helpful if all maintainers could scan this lists again, so that we're sure that nothing has been left out accidentally and to clear up some questions.

Out of curiousity, any plans beyond just packaging rpm? A project that I had been working on, but never got around to investing much time or effort in, was adapting setup.exe to support rpms.

Dario Alcocer was the last person to announce rpm so, AFAICT, he was the rpm maintainer. I don't see any announcements from Nicholas in cygwin-announce about rpm. And, as far as that's concerned, I don't see any popt announcements at all from Nicholas in cygwin-announce. So, anyway, I think I will take on the popt package. It makes sense for the rpm maintainer to be the popt maintainer and I'm hoping to update rpm sometime soon. cgf

Just deleting the old clear package will cause there to be two packages on the user's disk which own clear.exe but, since only ncurses will ever be updated from now on, it will always effectively have ownership of clear.exe. cgf
