XWin Multiwindow fails to start

Perforance problems under GNOME
I'm running Xwin in query Xdmcp mode in particular the line is as follows %RUN% XWin -query %REMOTE_HOST% -nodecoration -clipboard -rootless -unixkill -notrayicon Where remote host is either Solaris or Linux machine. If the Session/Windown manager employed is Gnome then I suffer significant performance problems. If I use CDE (Solaris) or KDE (Linux) I don't get the problem, even it I use gnome applications from the other window managers. This loss of performance is not immediate. But the closest I've got to identifying when the performance takes a nose-drive is as soon as I start typing. I can start application from the menu, etc. but a soon as I type 1 character response from every aspect of the window manage is very poor. I've recently upgraded changed machine (to a more powerful one) and consequently have upgraded to the current release of Cygwin rather than a version that was two years old, and this wasn't a problem on the old machine. Some that should means the fall is with current release/installation/machine, and not at the remote end. Also, if the GNOME session is set to display a logout confirmation this window is not clickable, or rather when I log out the confirmation window is presented, the rest of the desktop is greyed out but clicking on OK or Cancel has no effect. The X Server must either be killed or wait for the session to time out after ~2mins. This also appears to dependant on whether I've typed anything during the session so might be related to these performance problems. Any idea on how to solve or even diagnose this problem would be appreciated.

RE: Best AVS to use with cygwin
As a long-time Cygwin user, I can say that I would very much appreciate as much information as possible about known good and known bad antivirus, firewall, and anti-spyware tools or combinations thereof, including what Windows version was used, what special steps needed to be taken, etc. The problem with the BLODA is that any tool that periodically updates itself can become dodgy, and similarly can fix itself in the future. And even if it's still dodgy, I'd want to know what to look out for. For example, I don't necessarily care that McAfee was known to be dodgy at one point. We used it at work (so I didn't have a choice anyway), although I haven't noticed problems with Cygwin because of it. Or at least if I have had any problems, I didn't know enough to know whether McAfee was the culprit. For home use, I have been able to find most of the popular all-in-one packages for free with various rebates: CA, Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky, Panda, etc. And I have boxes of them just waiting to be tried out. :-) But you know what? I don't really want to be spending my time doing this. I'll gladly try one or two out, but not all. And given the choice, I'd rather use something that's pay-once-and-your-done (or better yet free-as-in-free) than something that's free-for-a-limited-time. One of the reasons I use Cygwin is because I don't want to put up with that type of Windows nonsense. Stuff should just work, right? So from my POV, the more information, the better. It's less that I have to discover on my own. - Taking my own advice, here are my experiences: (For anti-spyware, I run Spybot and Ad-Aware, in addition to whatever is in the suite I happen to be using. I'll also run clam periodically, though not nearly as often as I should.) I used a corporate McAfee Antivirus subscription for years, with good success. That's not to say that I've never had any problems with Cygwin programs (e.g., I have at times seen an out of resources type error), although I haven't had any particular reason to blame McAfee for it. We've switched to Symantec AntiVirus in the last year or two, and so far I haven't had any problems with it, either. We have a hardware firewall that our IT folks like to rely upon. I've also used ZoneAlarm with good success. At home, I've used both ZoneAlarm and Sygate (which I believe was now acquired by Symantec). The latter seems easier for a novice to install/maintain (and is what I'm currently using), although both have worked well for me. With ZoneAlarm, I had to spend more time approving Cygwin applications to run, from what I remember. I've used multiple versions of McAfee's all-in-one product. The 60-day to 1-year subscriptions that came prepackaged with my new PCs seemed more sluggish and CPU-intensive than the boxed versions I tried. I'm not sure why. Currently I have one system using only McAfee Antivirus along with Sygate (and Spybot/Ad-Aware/etc.) and this has been pretty stable, though it's now one of my less-used systems. One product I would recommend against is CA Internet Security Suite. My laptop came with a free all-in-one trial (I think it was Norton Internet Security), and although I never noticed any problems with Cygwin, for some reason I didn't feel very happy with the product. I installed a free-with-rebate version of CA Internet Security, and while I haven't noticed any Cygwin problems, it seems to interfere everywhere else. It's privacy feature will even cause the PC to blue screen if you open up a particular web page (in any browser)--and I'm not talking about one of *those* web pages: this one's on a Boy Scout site! Its firewall also is way to intrusive with web surfing, messing up many legitimate sites. All of my experiences are currently with Windows XP, although all but one of the systems started with Windows 2000. I just bought two new computers with Vista (one of which may actually remain a Vista machine), so I'm in the market for a new set of internet security solutions. -Jerry -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Re: Problem with -i ignore-file option in version 6.9 ptx in cygwin environment
Eric - In that original email your were replying to John Cowan, so I thought you were talking about coding approaches. From your message posted to the Cygwin list, I take it you were offering me, the end user, a way to solve the problem. I know about d2u and could use that now that I know what the problem is, but I'm not familiar with binary vs text mounts on a Windows system. I'm referencing the ignore file with the command line option of --ignore-file=ptx_ignore.txt. How do I involve a text mount with that? Another aspect of this problem from the end user point of view is the different behavior in the handling of the ignore file vs the main data input file. I constructed both files in the same way (using vim on Windows). ptx reads and processes the standard input just fine, but from the user's point of view, just ignores the content of the ignore file. :-) If nothing else, it would help if the man page for ptx had something about this issue.

Cygwin's philosophy is a bit different from some of the other ports to windows: when using binary mounts, cygwin's goal is to behave like Linux. Since ptx on Linux has the same behavior in treating \r literally, that is why I have made no effort for cygwin to behave any differently when you are using a cygwin binary mount. Put another way, the fact that you use a binary mount on cygwin is an agreement on your part to use files that are binary-compatible with Linux (ie no \r line endings), and tools like d2u should be used to convert problem files on a cygwin binary mount. On the other hand, you can use a cygwin text mount, which will ignore the \r with no recompilation required. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!

Here gdb could't determine which watchpoint triggered, so it
didn't evaluate the watched expressions, and didn't show
the old/new values. It should have shown:
Old value = 0
New value = 999
due to the 'count = 999;'
Hardware watchpoint 1: count
Old value = 0
New value = 1000
Here you should have seen:
Old value = 999
New value = 1000
The problem is shown in your log file:
gdb: kernel event for pid=1444 tid=2104 code=EXCEPTION_DEBUG_EVENT)
gdb: Target exception EXCEPTION_SINGLE_STEP at 0x00401099

Hence, gdb assumed it was random.

I've reproduced it in a MinGW gdb. So I'm now 100% sure it is not a
Cygwin problem.
I'm still thinking that it is a gdb bug, in the sense that there must be
something different with the debug registers handling that I didn't quite
understand yet. I'll try to build a small native win32 minimal debugger
that reproduces it, and if that doesn't make the problem obvious, post
a query in some Windows discussion group.
Thanks again!
Cheers,
Pedro Alves

running ssh from windows desktop
Ok, this is a rather frivolous question, but just something I want to get right so it doesn't become an itch I can't scratch ;) When I access ssh from windows dos mode, I don't seem to be able to background the process and thus make the windows dos box go away after I double-click a program to open off a remote unix box. Anyone know how to make the dos box go away? :) Thanks TF.
