Wierd display problem.
Hi folks, I've seen a couple times where Cygwin/X gets into a weird mode in which any portion of a window that is within about an inch of the right side of the screen doesn't repaint. Looks really strange when scrolling the screen, most of the screen scrolls but the right most column is locked in place. If I move the window away from the right edge of the screen it refreshes normally. If I move it back the problem reappears. The problem goes away if I shut down and restarting the Cygwin/X server. So it isn't happening currently. I'll keep an eye out for it and try to identify just what sequence puts it into that mode. Is there anything else I could be doing to track this down?

Re: Serious X problem, cannot start xterm.
Hi René, Now when running the script I get this output when xterm should start: $ startxwin.sh [EMAIL PROTECTED] /perl $ _X11TransSocketOpenCOTSClient: Unable to open socket for tcp _X11TransOpen: transport open failed for tcp/127.0.0.1:0 xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 127.0.0.1:0.0 Welcome to the XWin X Server [...] The problem should be with whatever cygminires.dll depends on to resolve names or with changed firewall settings (can't query DNS server because port 53 is not open), it could also be in /etc/hosts for the case where localhost is not defined as 127.0.0.1. Oh yeah, some protection software, the management tool for my DSL router blocked the access, I hate this stupid tools, I just installed it to setup my router and it blocks me out of my network.

I did use the setup.exe which is the first file to be downloaded for CygWin. I also think that I followed their instructions. I did it twice. First upgrding an existing installation and then, after failing, I installed CygWin from scratch again.

As the number of users is growing may I suggest a mailing list run by cygwin dealing with applications which are contributed? The knowledge users have gets spreads all around different lists and it becomes very hard to find a solution in one list if the problem is caused by some 'minor' change in a program dealed with at some other list. It makes it also easier for users just to track a single list compared to many especially if the new lists are not even known to the avarage user.

Btw, while I don't mind an occasional foray into discussing other packages here, this cygjpeg-62.dll problem is exactly the kind of discussion that I do not want to see proliferate. We go to some effort trying to get the packages in the cygwin distribution right, with proper dependencies and proper packaging. However, we have no power to fix these kinds of problems in other product distributions and I don't want to see the cygwin lists getting bogged down with attempts to fix problems over which we have no control. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
Re: Mutex init failure trying to run Scribus
René Berber wrote: I tried using cygwin1.dll version 1.5.18 and it works just like you said. Then I downloaded the latest snapshot, version 20051207, and scribus fails as before (no error messages, the one I used as subject is only a warning, nothing). As this is an apparent regression, if you could track this down in the cygwin1.dll, I'm sure Corinna and cgf would like to know about it on the main list. (I, for one, won't be very happy if my programs stop working when 1.5.19 comes out!) I could not build qt3 with debug enabled because the build also fails with a mutex problem. The program uic runs many times in the build succesfully but once it gets stuck with a Mutex init failure: Invalid argument. I'm unable to use gdb, every time I try gdb on scribus the program is killed at the beginning (before the splash screen appears) while setting a pthread. In the code (src/tools/qmutex_unix.cpp), as you have already said, the Mutex ... messages are only warnings so they were not related to my original problem, the program should run but it doesn't with a recent cygwin1.dll. But those messages and the uic hanging do point out that there are problems with pthreads as used by qt3. This is with 1.5.18 or the snapshot? I haven't seen if the changes to qt from 3.3.4 to 3.3.5 and to 4.0.1 address any of these problems. I've been waiting on 3.3.5 since, when it first came out, it would not get along with KDE 3.4 (or the other way around), and it's still hard-masked in Gentoo. 4.0.1 (and the soon-to-be-released 4.1.0) are entirely different; these will eventually become a qt4 package (parallel installable with our qt3), but only after it stabilizes more.

The fact that we advertise other people's cygwin efforts doesn't mean that we are automatically opening up the cygwin mailing list to discuss their efforts. I agree, and I never said that they should be sent here. Cygwin Ports is my (very large) private repository of packages which I have built, including the packages that I contribute to the distro. Those packages which aren't (yet) in the distro are usually due to any of the following reasons: 1) unsufficiently tested (like, right now, GNOME 2.12 is already there) 2) queued up due to dependencies not yet in the distro 3) not of general interest 4) lack of time When I start seeing interest on these lists for something that I have on Cygwin Ports, that usually pushes me to ITP it; perl-Tk is a recent example. I may do the same for scribus, once the issues with René are worked out. And (before someone asks) wrt to the first scribus thread started by René, I only continued that discussion here since her problem has to do with qt3 itself, which I maintain *within* the distro. It now appears that she may have found a regression in a recent snapshot due to that discussion too. In any case, I'll try to clarify on my website about questions on my packages, etc. Yaakov -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

I could not build qt3 with debug enabled because the build also fails with a mutex problem. Actually the library builds fine with debug info, it's the Designer and its plugins where the build fails... but I need gdb working, even tried 2 different versions of gdb and also Microsoft's WinDbg, all show the same problem Program received signal SIGSEGV ... in pthread_key_create.

Anyway I was unable to build 3.3.5, early it complains about not finding a qt_windows.h file, somehow even with the -platform cygwin-g++ the configuration code doesn't set the right defines. 4.0.1 (and the soon-to-be-released 4.1.0) are entirely different; these will eventually become a qt4 package (parallel installable with our qt3), but only after it stabilizes more.
