Re: Xorg server 1.7.1 spontaneously exiting with clipboard message

See also the section libXfont linkage issue in [1]. That documentation
needs to be updated to reflect the new reality once a libXfont is released

Hello,
Thank you for your help.
Once this problem resolved, the server crashes with another message
(something like) :
--
assert failed (key-initialized); in privates.h
--
I've look in the header privates.h and deleted the assert test :
119 static inline void *
120 dixGetPrivateAddr(PrivatePtr *privates, const DevPrivateKey key)
121 {
122 // assert(key-initialized);
123 return (char *) (*privates) + key-offset;
124 }
Then the server seems to start and work correctly without any device problem.
Do you have an idea about this new and last issues ?
Thanks,
Michel Hummel

Hmmm, no, actually, I read that several times, and I do see messages regarding that extension not being there if manually starting xwinwm. I don't entirely understand the significance. Is it the case that multiwindow mode is currently not usable because the WindowsWM extensions are non-functional? Because I see mention of enhancements to mutliwindow mode: * Multiwindow mode includes several enhancements: - - application icons with transparent backgrounds are properly rendered; - - WM hints (e.g. no window decoration) are better followed; - - shaped windows are displayed properly; - - window styles can be customized in the .XWinrc file. without any hint of the fact that multiwindow mode isn't actually usable right now at (if that is fact the case).

It may even use ghostscript by default and never actually use DPS, but only if ghostscript isn't available, then use DPS. So I'd suggest rebuilding ImageMagick with --with-dps=no.

Xdmx -display host1:0.0 -display host2:0.0 created the gray hatch pattern on the two xserver and garbled the keyboard settings :( Since I don't know how dmx actually works I did not test it further.

[snip] As for what our two develpers said, I do respect them for what they do for us but I wouldn't tell my users to shut up like that. Being a volunteer doing things for people for free doesn't give you the right to do that. Did you *read* what Bobby said about Alexander? Why didn't you jump to Alexander's defense if you respect him so much? Or does being a user of free software does give someone the right to insult a developer? That seems pretty one-sided to me. Yes, I did read what Bobby said. His post wasn't meant for Alexander. He was responding to Daniel who previously just wanted to add something to the discussion. From my view it was meant for the users and for the Cygwin team or the management not a particular developer. Like I said I think what Bobby said was perfectly all right and reasonable. I was also adding something the the discussion just like Daniel did. I saw what he added as useful to both users and developers. To users it indicated that there was some problem with the installation so everyone should be aware of. To developers this problem should be investigated and fixed. Also to developers he referred to a previous developer who he thought did a better job. Now I can understand most people would be upset if anyone tell you they think someone did or can do a better job but if I was a developer here I would just listen to what Bobby said, be open-minded, and think, because he might be right. I have been installing/using Cygwin for years and this is the first time I have a problem. I thought Bobby might be thinking the same thing before suggested that. You need the users and the users need you. You somehow think that there is a flow of obligation going from me to you? You're very wrong. You are benefitting from my efforts and Alexander's efforts. I am not benefitting from your efforts in any way. That is not true of some users here who are capable of sending bug reports or providing constructive feedback without pontificating. Since I care about cygwin, I do appreciate when people can provide feedback without whining and without insulting the people who have donated their time to help them. You have no rights here. Sorry. I was talking about users and developers in general. I didn't say that you needed me. I said that you needed the users. But since you have shown your typical developer attitude I should make this point clearer. Every user of your free software has contributed somehow to your project. They don't have to be here to show that they are contributing. Just if they download and install and use your software is enough. Why? These people although they don't come here to praise you or give their supports to you when they don't find bugs/problems in your software they are still helping you testing the software for you. Their absence here tells that the software works for them althouth some just don't bother to come here no matter they found a problem or they have fixed it themselves or maybe they are in some other places like IRC channels, forums, usenet, etc. As for those who come posting questions, they may not be capable of sending bug reports or providing constructive feedback without pontificating in your eyes but they are making contribution to your project. Not all of them really need help. Some are just reporting bugs/problems so that they can be fixed and everyone can be happy both users and developers. I was in this type of users when I was confirming this problem. You said that I'm benefitting from your efforts and Alexander's efforts, that is ture. But when you said you are not benefitting from my efforts in any way, that is not true. I spent time and efforts to download files and test the installation and I spent time to report that here. Should I have to go through all this had the setup.exe worked properly? No. I didn't really need those X components from Cygwin I only needed the C compiler and I usually do install everything when I install any software. I found the problem so I came here and found other users with the same problem then I did more tests in order to confirm the problem here. I don't mind you are not appreciating what I did but I want you not to forget that this type of users does exist and you will appreciate their efforts or not is up to you but you should never underestimate their efforts. They may well call that an insult to them. It is simple, you either do it your best or you don't do it at all. Sorry, but that is simple-minded pap. How can you judge what someone's best is? So, if I can't give cygwin 100% of my effort, I should just abandon it? Ridiculous. Everyone knows what their best is. No one is judging. Best doesn't mean 100% effort. No, you

Re: xorg installation fails, 99% complete only
(As I had problems sending this mail, you'll receive it as the last one, excuse me, there is only the setup.log, before you have the three last compressed part of the setup full and after the first part) Good morning this time, Ok I'm here again. The situation. The problem occurs when I do a complete install of cygwin. It blocks every time on the same load (see before). Wen cancelling, no setup.log is created (I think it is normal as there is no post install made). If after this first failed install I do a setup with only the X11 package there, then it goes to the end of install and here is the setup.log and the first of four compressed part of a setup.log.full (because of the size as you know). Following, the last three part.

Re: xorg installation fails, 99% complete only
Last experiment, I use the ollydbg tool in order to begin to see what is the problem inside setup. It traps also the debug messae of setup and one ofit consists of saying (as it is given by this tool) : failed too open cygfile:///usr/X11R6/share/doc/Cygwin/xorg-x11-fscl-6.8.1.0.README for writing I'm examining the tool in order to know how to associate the src files to the debug tool. As it is a little long to do any experiment it will tae me a little time to gie more infos. I also joined again the cygcheck.

That's the reason why I'd like an advice fromm christopher Faylor that knows certainly what could happen on nt. I'm thinking that there is something odd about setup's handing of files in directories which have not been explicitly created in the tar archive. That's why I was asking if c:/cygwin/usr/X11R6/share/doc/Cygwin existed. It didn't seem like the tar archive was creating it specifically. I don't know why this would affect some people but not others, though. When I install cygwin from scratch in a base install + all X packages selected, I don't see this. So maybe this is a red herring. Anyway, to the end of confirming my theory, I have (I HOPE) regenerated all of the X11 files in the distribution and made sure that directory creation precedes filename creation in every case. I haven't bumped the version numbers, though, since this is purely a cosmetic change. This change will take a while to hit mirrors since many files were affected but if you check that a mirror contains files with today's date, then it is worth trying a full install to see if your problem mysteriously goes away. So, Bruno, could you periodically check: ftp://mirrors.sunsite.dk/pub/cygwin/release/X11/xorg-x11-fscl/ wait until the file xorg-x11-fscl-6.8.1.0-2.tar.bz2 shows today's date, and then try your test case again to see if it hangs? I think that setup.exe should do the right thing and download the changed files but, if it doesn't, you'll have to delete them from your disk. As far as handles are concerned, I don't think that there is any upper limit on the number that can be allocated. The only limitation is 32 bits and the amount of available memory. It seems like people are hitting this limit if they allow setup to run long enough. cgf

It was grabbing full packages, xfree-bin comes to mind, as that was the only one it picked up on. Bobby BTW it was straight out off the net, full, all users, unix. I'll try again later.

The previous run clearly shows setup installing xorg-x11-f100 and running the postinstall script for that package, so it should have renamed it to .done and not re-run it. Hmm, the fact that it attempts to reinstall packages, coupled with the fact that it's not renaming postinstall scripts properly, makes me wonder whether your Cygwin directory tree is writable by the user that performs the install. This would also be consistent with the Cannot open c:\cygwin\var\log\setup.log for writing message that others reported.

After the successful installation, I installed the xorg packages (as specified in the xorg-base README) via setup once again. IIRC, I do not remember clicking the buttons that would change the install versions. (which means you've downgraded xorg-x11-lib-data). It also shows that the following postinstall scripts ran: xorg-x11-devel.sh xorg-x11-f100.sh xorg-x11-fcyr.sh xorg-x11-fenc.sh xorg-x11-fnts.sh xorg-x11-fscl.sh xorg-x11-libs-data.sh xorg-x11-xwin.sh which is odd, since you didn't reinstall xorg-x11-xwin or xorg-x11-f100 or xorg-x11-fnts. The previous run clearly shows setup installing xorg-x11-f100 and running the postinstall script for that package, so it should have renamed it to .done and not re-run it. I did install xorg *after* installing cygwin minus xorg. Hmm, the fact that it attempts to reinstall packages, coupled with the fact that it's not renaming postinstall scripts properly, makes me wonder whether your Cygwin directory tree is writable by the user that performs the install. This would also be consistent with the Cannot open c:\cygwin\var\log\setup.log for writing message that others reported. Igor I was logged as a user under the administrator's group when I did the install. I've gotten hold of the WinXP SP2 Machine now, on line! I'll uninstall everything and try to reproduce the error once more. I'll run ps and cygcheck at the point where it stalls and provide as much detail as possible. Thanks!

I tried to reproduce the problem on the WinXP SP2 machine in question and I was unsuccessful in reproducing it... Cygwin installed like a charm =) Now, I don't know why such is the case. Hmmm...To tell the truth, I was actually asking someone to follow instructions from me, (i.e. press this button, select Unix, click ok, etc.). However, when I myself tried do a fresh uninstall and fresh install, all worked well. In any case, I'm now attaching cygcheck.out and setup.log (compressed) so the experts could point out what difference it had with my previous posting of cygcheck.out and setup.log, My suspicion is that the one whom I asked to install cygwin did something else that she didn't tell me(What I saw when she was installing cygwin was the 99% completed on xorg that never stopped. This, I verified with my eyes. On her following my instructions, I didn't see it with my own eyes. She just said she did.) Sheesh...sorry for all these noise for the past 3 days.

Because when setup gets to the fontserver, where 4 people are complaining so far, it stalls on a readme file. It works fine for me. Just tried it. You've been reading the cygwin mailing list long enough to know that you have not provided the slightest shred of useful data Bobby, either provide useful information or just shut up. Telling everyone what you are going to do or not going to do and insulting people is totally unproductive. Do me a favor and don't even respond to this email. Either provide some details or just be quiet. Useful details might be, for example, ps -ef output. cgf OK Chris, here it is. The full report. Complete down to the readme file that it is hanging at. Cygwin setup is at 97% it says install xorg-x11-fscl-6.8.1.0-2 /usr/X11R6/share/doc/Cygwin/xorg-x11-fscl-6.8.1.0.README its in a contiuous loop, not gettiing past this point. I'm about to say something that surely is going to upset some people here. Try not to get mad at me anyway. Warning: if you are not open-minded kind of person, you're advised to skip everyting below. This issue was first reported by Bobby McNulty on 03/11. Then on 04/11 Ling F. Zhang reported the same problem and said he was the third one to report the problem although I still can't find that second one. Ling asked the same question again on 06/11 providing some more information. I posted the same question on 06/11 confirming the issue and providing quite detailed information (I think). All these were in cygwin section. Now you can count how many people had been having this problem. Nobody was interested in the issue until Bobby spoke up yesterday. I think what he said was perfectly all right and reasonable. I myself have also been waiting for this setup issue to be resolved before I install Cygwin on this new computer. I last installed Cygwin in Dec 2003 and I've just got a new computer and installed a fresh clean Windows XP and want to install the latest Cygwin in full. I don't want to skip the X part and install it manually afterwards as I have no idea if that would do exactly the same thing. The setup.exe should do the installation job properly. As for what our two develpers said, I do respect them for what they do for us but I wouldn't tell my users to shut up like that. Being a volunteer doing things for people for free doesn't give you the right to do that. You need the users and the users need you. It is simple, you either do it your best or you don't do it at all. There are people who can do better or have done better as Bobby implied. You should listen to what users have to say. Not just praise you also have to listen to criticism. All can be constructive depends on how you look at it and how open-minded you are. You shouldn't tell your users to come do what you're doing if they think they can do better. That reminds me of politicians in some third-world countries. You should have done better in this case. You should ask for more information from users instead of assuming everyone knows what information they should provide or telling them to shut up when they don't do what you think they should do. They are not as genius as you otherwise they wouldn't be here asking for help. What Bobby and Carlo reported yesterday and today are the same thing I already reported 3 days ago. In fact I even gave more information. Like, the error points were different between archives from different mirror sites. That post of mine was cited in yesterday posts did anyone take a look at it before asking Bobby for more information? He also mentioned 4 people had been complaining did anyone check those posts by those 4 people? Also I had no idea you could do ps -ef while installing Cygwin. Now, I think that's more than enough to get myself flamed for today. Feel free to do so I'm open to all sorts of criticism. Oh, there is more information I can give. My OS is Windows XP SP1. So it's not only XP SP2 that is having this problem.

You need the users and the users need you. You somehow think that there is a flow of obligation going from me to you? You're very wrong. You are benefitting from my efforts and Alexander's efforts. I am not benefitting from your efforts in any way. That is not true of some users here who are capable of sending bug reports or providing constructive feedback without pontificating. Since I care about cygwin, I do appreciate when people can provide feedback without whining and without insulting the people who have donated their time to help them. You have no rights here. Sorry. It is simple, you either do it your best or you don't do it at all. Sorry, but that is simple-minded pap. How can you judge what someone's best is? So, if I can't give cygwin 100% of my effort, I should just abandon it? Ridiculous. There are people who can do better or have done better as Bobby implied. You should listen to what users have to say. Not just praise you also have to listen to criticism. Whining about how no one is helping you and suggesting that the old regime did it better is not criticism. It is complaining. The difference should be pretty obvious. All can be constructive depends on how you look at it and how open-minded you are. You shouldn't tell your users to come do what you're doing if they think they can do better. And, you shouldn't invent scenarios to make your point. No one said anything about telling users to do what (I'm) doing. That reminds me of politicians in some third-world countries. You should have done better in this case. Funny, but your email reminds me a lot of a campaign speech, short on specifics, long on emotion. They are not as genius as you otherwise they wouldn't be here asking for help. I think you may have missed the fact that I was responding mainly to Bobby's insult. My message was specifically targetted to someone with whom I've interacted for years. I have no idea who you are or why you take insult at a message which was not directed to you. In fact I even gave more information. Like, the error points were different between archives from different mirror sites. Again, you seem to be missing the fact that I was responding to Bobby, not you. However, since you raise the point, let me say that this probably isn't very useful data either. Neither setup.exe nor X are my responsibility but I can't imagine how the fact that something dies differently given different mirror sites would be useful data unless you rigorously tested each mirror site and verified that this isn't just something random. But, that's probably just my genius talking. Anyway, I think that's about as much as I care to respond to. Just as an observation, no matter how right you think you are, it's hard to see how any logical person would expect quality help from people who they have maligned. You're a slimy politician who won't listen to criticism and who should either be doing a better job or resign. Please help me. Pretty funny. Again, for the record, neither setup problems nor X problems are my responsibility. I just step in when I see people being personally insulting towards one of the people who have donated their time to help them. cgf
