Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] [1.7] Updated: xorg-server 1.7.5-1, 1.7.99.901-1 (TEST)
I sent the following to the cygwin email by mistake: I reported a problem back in December last year on: Cygwin 1.7 beta XWin Crashes from Ubuntun 9.10 after Firefox sessions. It was never fixed until I installed xorg-server 1.7.5-1 tonight. I sshed to Ubuntun 9.10 and stayed on Firefix and other applications with no problem. Thanks for the work on xorg-server 1.7.5-1.

Re: Cygwin 1.7 beta XWin Crashs from Ubuntun 9.10 after Firefox sessions (update)
After I upgraded to xorg-server1.7.3-1, XWin does not crash anymore after I ssh to Ubuntun 9.10 invoking gnome-session. But it hangs intermittently after a few Firefox sessions and I need to terminate XWin. Hope the next xorg-server upgrade will improve this. -- 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/

Any discussion of this topic should mention that, as a caveat. Actually, the standards people HAVE spoken - and they agreed with our interpretation. POSIX was INTENTIONALLY written with the intent that a UTF-8 encoding is valid for the C locale, for the same reason that it was written that an EBCDIC encoding is valid for the C locale. These emails from the Austin Group (the folks that write POSIX) are telling: https://www.opengroup.org/sophocles/show_mail.tpl?

CALLER=show_archive.tpl&source=L&listname=austin-group-l&id=13012 But they also admitted that there is still more work needed in POSIX to make this intent clearly codified (for example, that control characters must be single bytes < 128). -- Eric Blake -- 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: Cygwin 1.7 beta XWin Crashs from Ubuntun 9.10 after Firefox sessions
Hi Jon, further testings show the issue is related to GNOME. XWin still crashed after I started GNOME-SESSION and waited for some time without bringing up any apps. I',m able to ssh to the Ubuntu box and bring up xterm or firefox and do some work without any problems. Since you can't even start up GNOME-SESSION, I am not going to pursue this issue anymore. Hopefully future upgrade will fix this problem. Thanks for your efforts.

Re: Cygwin 1.7 beta XWin Crashs from Ubuntun 9.10 after Firefox sessions
Hi Jon, the crash is not caused by doing some specific action or looking at specific pages in firefox. Sometimes I sit on the Firefox screen and the cash happens. I ssh to the the remote Ubuntu Box and start up a gnome-session there back to my display. I then bring up the firefox on the Ubuntu box. After a few clicks, the cygwin Xserver died. I tried starting the X server with -multiwindow, but could not even get a complete GNOME screen back. I've tried -query but did not get a screen back. It could be only ssh is allowed into the Ubuntu box.

How amusingly recursive: "It has always been the advice of the mailing lists that you should check the mailing lists before upgrading" :-) I did not check the *-announce lists before running setup. I did not know of their existence. To me, mailing lists are for developers, groupies, and people with tech supp problems, not something to be subscribed to and monitored by ordinary users on an ongoing basis -- I have enough noise in my inbox as it is. I do check www.cygwin.com before doing (what I think is going to be) a routine upgrade. If there's nothing in the news there, I assume that what I'm getting is just an upgrade of existing packages that I already have installed. Is that such a foolish assumption? The flaw in my cunning plan, it seems, is that www.cygwin.com is *never* updated, except to note an occasional upgrade to the DLL itself. I guess I should also have been checking x.cygwin.com -- but even that only has a short mention of an upgrade, with a pointer to the announcement, which mostly talks about stuff that I do not know or care about: something called XCB, some "composite extension", some "XVideo extension", and so on. Yes, I should have followed the "upgrade instructions" section, and that would have helped, but would not have prepared me for the unholy mess that was to follow. > Now, often you can get away with /not/ doing that, d > nothing bad will happen. But if I ran setup, and saw 157 new packages > about to be upgraded...I might want to investigate a little before > clicking "continue". Where do you see "157 new packages about to be upgraded"? setup says no such thing. I have been making the assumption, apparently a stupid one, that when you run setup and don't choose to install anything new, it checks for upgrades to the stuff you have already installed, and goes ahead and patches what you have. I don't look to see how much new stuff there is -- why should I? I just click "next" and go. I did notice that the download and upgrade took much longer than usual. Know what I thought? "Gee, there must be some major security fix to a whole lot of packages." > > But, as always, it's up to you. We'll happily refund all the money you paid. I too contribute to the open-source community, and I have always disliked this snarky answer. "It's free -- what did you expect, quality? Service?" Well yes, I do. You'll never get far in the closed-source-commercial vs open-source-community argument if you keep falling back on "it's free" as an excuse not to document, not to support.

Upgrade woes.
I updated my cygwin the other day, as I periodically do, and I am very sorry I did so. Here are some of the problems I have encountered. 1) Couldn't start cygwin X at all. The link on my desktop pointed to a script (which I had customized) in /usr/X11R6/bin, which was deleted by the upgrade. It took me a while to find the replacement -- mysteriously moved to /usr/bin, minus my customizations. 2) Fonts I had added no longer work. Everything looks fine in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts. Messed around there for a while, to no avail. After much Googling, found that the fonts have been moved to /usr/share/fonts. 3) While trying to figure out why my fonts weren't working, I naturally tried to use xfontsel. "bash: xfontsel: command not found". WHAT?! It turns out that it's now in its own cygwin package, as are about a billion other useful utilities that have been deleted without warning. 4) xterms all now have a useless, annoying menu at the top. I want to make it go away. Had to wade through the xterm manual to learn that this is apparently called a "toolbar" and is now on by default. I am extremely annoyed. I have lost many hours of productivity just trying to get back to where I was on Monday, and I'm still not there. The worst part of it is that I (and probably most cygwin users out there) was completely blindsided, and there was no post-upgrade help to be found. What's on the "news" page at cygwin.com? A kernel upgrade in June. Before that, a kernel upgrade in May, and one in March. Nothing new in the FAQ. No announcement of a change that's going to screw up your whole system. At x.cygwin.com, things are even worse. "Last updated: 2004-01-10 0200 EST (Harold L Hunt II)". Not helpful. There is a short note at the bottom of the main page directing people to the mailing list announcement. It contains useful information such as "before you upgrade, do this and that and the other thing". Wish I had known about some of those before I upgraded! It also notes without explanation that most programs are in their own packages now. This is terribly inconvenient to us ordinary users. My xterms are screwed up. Numlock is very wonky: Let's say I start off with numlock on; I am in a Windows (non-X) window; I switch to an xterm; I use the numeric keypad to type; I get nothing (tildes, escape codes, non-numlock crap). I switch to another xterm, I type on the keypad, I get digits. I switch back to the first xterm, it's still acting as though numlock is off. I switch to a Windows window, then back to the first xterm. Now it behaves as though numlock is on. I switch to the second xterm window, *it* is behaving as though numlock is off. All this time, the numlock LED is lit. I can consistently repeat this. xfontsel is broken. The main part of the window does not redraw itself when dropdown menus disappear, so you wind up with large portions of old menus cluttering the client area. Several of the fonts are rendered with a broken, crappy look. As far as I can tell, this is not a problem with the font iself -- but who knows! I am sure that the cygwin X developers put a great deal of time and effort into this upgrade. And I honestly appreciate the work that they do. Being a contributor to open-source software myself, I can appreciate what they go through. But this upgrade was surely poorly thought-out. I am not a cygwin developer; I am not really even a cygwin power user, although I will not -- cannot -- use Windows without cygwin. So I am not subscribed to the cygwin mailing lists. I just run setup.exe periodically to get patches. It should not have re-architected my whole damn system without warning.

multimonitor on laptops if monitor added after X starts (can resize down, but not up)
I am so impressed with your fullscreen, multiplemonitors, and clipboard support. Bravo! Just one nagging nit: -multiplemonitors works great on my xp laptop (dell/intel chipset) if the additional display is added prior to Xwin starting. I can even switch to single monitor and go back, with everything working. However, if I start Xwin prior to adding an additional monitor, Xwin won't handle the increased number of rows/cols properly. Perhaps a fix would just require that I specify my max rows/cols at Xwin's startup (but how?).

Re: high CPU load
Soong, SylokeJ wrote: My cygwin/x server processes are at 0% when not used. They are near 0% even when xwin is receiving lots of screen update from the solaris client running SAS. that's impressive. Before this problem started if I start getting any number of updates, the CPU load would climb into the 20% range. now, it sits at 70% no matter what. My last cygwin update was two weeks ago. When was your last update and what were your updates? (so that I know what to avoid updating). beats the heck out of me. I updated two days ago (24th) and I was just doing a blanket update of everything. I think the previous update was somewhere in early to mid July. what is really frustrating is that I don't know when the problem started. I use speech recognition and that usually consumes 80% of the CPU whenever I'm talking. By the way, it doesn't matter how fast the CPU, speech recognition always consumes 80% of what ever is available. then I noticed when using X, my recognition accuracy was going down and the time to get some text from the recognizer was going up. That's what I investigated and found that X11 was consuming 60 to 70% of the CPU at idle. Unfortunately, the best I have to go on is flaky memory because I was distracted doing another project at the time. My best guess says that it was sometime in the past two weeks that things went south. I know I did some updates from Microsoft in that time but I don't directly associate the problems with X and these updates. I'm really sorry about being so vague but it's the best information I have. I am using XP/Pro on Dell Latitude P4 "centrino"(whatever is that?), where my xwin/wmaker is displayed on an external 2nd monitor at 1792x1344. Are you running wmaker, KDE or native ms windows manager? native ms window manager. I had similar problems of high cpu before but I found that my anti-virus s/w was trying to check everything netbeans and cygwin was doing. I forgot how I took care of that. I did not shut any anti-virus process down. well I don't run any antivirus on the system because it inevitably interferes with speech recognition accuracy. I occasionally run scans but it's really a pita the Windows firewall is completely turned off as well. I fear solving this problem may involve erasing the disk and reinstalling everything from windows on up. ugh. ---eric -- 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/
high CPU load
(note: I sent this out last night but it didn't seem to appear. Forgive me if this is a duplicate post) I'm not sure what has happened but relatively recently I've noticed that the X11 server is consuming inordinate amounts of CPU (70%+) even when it is not doing anything. I've upgraded to the latest cygwin but it didn't change anything.

Hold on there - the bug in POSIX non-compliance was that before coreutils
patch, `rm -i' accepted " y" as yes, now CVS coreutils obeys POSIX and
interprets it as a match failure (which has the same effect as typing an
answer interpreted as no). Unfortunately, POSIX requires that if your
terminal settings are strange (such as the ctlecho settings that cgf
mentioned on linux), such that raw editing characters escape the terminal
into the program, that "y\bn" ('y', BACKSPACE, 'n') be interpreted as yes.
The only way this would be an xterm bug is if the default tty settings of
xterm under cygwin can be changed to improve user experience by making it
less likely that raw backspaces are passed through to the program, rather
than being line edited first.
And my next release of cygwin coreutils-5.3.0-6 will not be CVS coreutils
(with all its recent patches in many other areas as well), but stock 5.3.0
with a minimal subset of CVS patches backported as needed (I plan to wait
until 5.3.1 is released before cygwin officially sees all upstream patches
since 5.3.0, unless someone can convince me of a need for cygwin to track
CVS). That means I will not be changing the yes/no behavior in my next
drop of coreutils. But rest assured that I am tracking CVS changes on my
own machine, to try and make sure that there are no regressions introduced
when 5.3.1 is finally released upstream.

different mouse behavior between rootless and multiwindow
Hi, I am working on getting a native Solaris app to run on Windows using Cygwin. Currently, we use Exceed to do this, so if I can get this working properly, I'm sure I could convince our department head to send a donation your way. I have had success with running it rootless, but am having some trouble getting the mouse to behave properly using the multiwindow switch. In this CAD application, the screen is divided in to two parts; the main part is where the drawing is displayed, and the second part is a toolbar off to the right. How it should work: When you click and hold the right mouse button in, a new mouse cursor appears on the toolbar. The original cursor stays where it was before you right-click. You cannot move the new cursor outside of the toolbar region. The purpose of this is so that an engineer can change tools without moving the original mouse pointer. Once you let go of the right mouse button, you regain control of the original cursor exactly where you left it. What is happening: I right click I get the new cursor, but it appears directly over the original cursor rather than over the toolbar, and I can move it freely anywhere inside the window. When I let go of the right mouse button, the old pointer moves to where my mouse is before I regain control of it. Again, using the rootless switch everything works perfectly, but we would really prefer to run it with the Windows window manager. Turning the numlock key on or off does not appear to have an impact on this behavior. I know this is a long shot, but any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Eric

this is not directly related to cygwin/X11 but it will be something that comes up once in a while. Sometimes performance just sucks. sometimes I will sit there and watch applications redraw bits over 10s of seconds. Yet on my ethernet interfaces, I have no errors, machine load averages are around .2, network utilization is relatively low. Obviously something is not right but I'm not even sure where to start looking. like I said. Not directly related but if there are any references I can look at, it would be most appreciated. ---eric

Unable to get clipboard integration to work (Xwin.exe -clipboard)
Hi, I've read thru the manual and the postings in this newsgroup, but am still unable to get clipboard integration to work - either with the -clipboard option or without it and using xwinclip.

I am running 6.7.0.0-4 with the following parameters: xwin -clipboard -query 192.168.2.21 (which is my remote Linux machine).

Hi, I'm completely new to Cygwin (and have been away from X-Windows in general for a number of years) and am looking for a howto or some instructions how to get my Cygwin installation to display my Linux machine's X terms.

I see only minor inconsitency on his part, that the original commit of that code didn't attribute it to its author in the CVS logs, while at least some other commits do note authors of patches.

Hi everybody, The most annoying problem with XFree and Win32,is the window manager. Some apps were ported to XFree+cygwin but lacking a good (not twm...) window manager makes them useless... What do you use as a window manager on Win32? I tried kde WM (kwin) but it is too heavy for just letting me move/resize the window. The ideal would be a Native Win32 that mimic the Win32 look-n-feel by enabling just the standard win32 buttons, nothingmore. Thanks to share your experiences -jec

-multiwindow mode, clipboard primary selection & window icon
Hello, Setup : Windows 2000 SP4 XFree86 4.3.0-13 I'm facing the following problem when displaying a remote app on my laptop. When I launch XEmacs, the window upper left icon is sometimes set to XEmacs one but most of the times to the default X one. When the icon is set to XEmacs, I can't select text with mouse or keyboard (pc-select), it's automatically unselected. When the icon is set to X, text selection works fine. Has anyone seen a similar case, is there any known solution ?

Resize problem with xemacs on XWin-Test77 -multiwindow
I'm running XWin-Test77 using the -multiwindow feature. I can't seem to resize XEmacs's windows. This is true when running XEmacs 21.4.8 displaying remotely from a Red Hat 8.0 machine or running XEmacs 21.4.12 running locally compiled under Cygwin. It's easy to reproduce: start XWin -multiwindow start xemacs try to resize your xemacs window you'll see that it always snaps back to its original size. I haven't had trouble resizing any other applications' windows, and I haven't had any trouble resizing xemacs windows when using icewm in Cygwin/XFree86 instead of XWin's builtin -multiwindow window manager functionality. __ Do you Yahoo!?

grep: Command not found when starting tcsh
Note to the Cygwin-XFree86 team:
I have Cygwin and XFree86 installed, and I was getting annoying messages
of the form
Grep: command not found
every time I started up a tcsh shell. I finally tracked the problem
down to
the file /etc/profile.d/00xfree.csh. This script apparently executes
before
all other login scripts and is intended to put /usr/X11R6/bin on your path.
Unfortunately it includes this line:
eval "echo ${PATH} | grep -q ${X11PATH}"
Because it's executing so early on, the PATH hasn't been properly set up
yet,
and grep was not being found.
By replacing "grep" with "/bin/grep", the problem was resolved. This had
already been done in the file 00xfree.sh in the same directory so I'm
surprised
the 00xfree.csh file hadn't been modified too.

This information is (by experience but I never read anything about this) different each time the X server is starting and must be generate by xauth: xauth generate $DISPLAY . at server start. After that you must install the authorization information on your clients with xauth on the clients, most common way is to lauch the following remote command from your server for each clients: xauth extract - $DISPLAY | ssh login@client xauth merge - (this is an exemple with ssh that is also the most secure way to do it but you can use rsh or something similar). On the client the xauthorizations are stored in a file named .Xauthority (unless some special settings). See man xauth for details. Hope this help. Eric.

Thanks for your response, My question was not realy clear , in fact I want to build emacs as a X11 application running under cygwin/xfree not as a MSWindows application. Why ? because I'd like to have my emacs managed by the X11 window manager and I can't use directly Linux on my computer. All thinks I found about compiling emacs with cygwin was about building a MSWindows application. Eric.
