slrn & mutt - display problem
When I use slrn try to reply to a posting by email the entire window simply goes black. My mail_editor_command is "mutt -H '%s'", and I am using rxvt (in Cygwin). I know that mutt starts, and if I kill that process I get my slrn back again, though when I then quit slrn the terminal no longer echoes key presses. Any clues? It looks like it is a terminal problem to me, since I've learned that through following the key presses that I normally would, I get the body of the mail to edit in my editor (displayed correctly), then when I finish that I go back to my lovely black on black colour scheme whilst in mutt, and then finally back to slrn where I can again see what is going on. So mutt is there and accepting input and acting on it. It just doesn't want to show me what it is doing :-( -- 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/

As I thought, it was a terminal issue. instead of set mail_editor_command "mutt -H '%s'" using mail_editor_command "export TERM=vt220; mutt -H '%s'; export TERM=rxvt" produces a usable display. I'd got this set as an alias in my bash profile but had completely forgotten about it.

Umlauts not working
Hi, I have two computers with cygwin installed. On one the umlauts solution in .inputrc works fine (set meta-flag on etc.), but on the other I still get a pipe-like symbol for an umlaut-u and nothing at all for umlaut-a and so on (I've also tried putting the meta-flag on entries in .bashrc but that doesn't work either - should it?). The one that works has bash 3.1.17(6)-release and the one that doesn't has 3.2.5(8)-release but I don't know if that is significant. What might I have ballsed up?

Re: emacs trouble
Hi Lorenzo I have the same problem, but using rxvt instead of the normal console cures it so I went with that. Something to do with keyboard layout, possibly, since I am using a German kbd and I imagine you are using an Italian one?

Re: Umlauts not working
More that I've found. I updated the older version of Bash to the newer version. It still works, so the problem isn't due to some change in Bash.

Problem with svn and users over multiple machines
I don't know if this is a Cygwin related problem or if I am just being stupid. Probably the latter, but maybe in that case some kind soul will take pity on me. I added a new user "svn" and a new group "subversion-user", basically following http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-07/msg00933.html with the addition of also doing mkgroup -l -g subversion-user >> /etc/group. I then created a subversion repository in the usual way, on an NDAS drive, and then changed the file permissions so that they are owned by user svn and can be modified by members of the group subversion-user. I could then add and commit files to my repository. So far so good. I also want to be able to work on another machine in a similar manner, so did the same things on that machine regarding user and group as I did on the first. My suspicion is that I shouldn't have, I should have done something else instead, because I see g...@mimosa ~ $ ls -l /svn/db total 14 -rw-r--r--+ 1 garyKein 2 2010-01-22 09:34 current -r--r--r-- 1 svn subversion-user 22 2010-01-22 08:22 format -rw-r--r-- 1 svn subversion-user5 2010-01-22 08:22 fs-type -rw-r--r-- 1 svn subversion-user 1920 2010-01-22 08:22 fsfs.conf (etc.) from the first machine... ...but see g...@sunflower ~ $ ls -l /svn/db total 14 -rw-r--r--+ 1 2 2010-01-22 09:34 current -r--r--r-- 1 22 2010-01-22 08:22 format -rw-r--r-- 1 5 2010-01-22 08:22 fs-type -rw-r--r-- 1 1920 2010-01-22 08:22 fsfs.conf (etc.) from the second.

Re: Problem with svn and users over multiple machines
Err. Well. User error :-P I don't know exactly what I did wrong, but I suspect that the problems I saw might have partly been due to "Simple File Sharing" being *off* on one of the machines and *on* on the other. Having started again from scratch and ensuring Simple File Sharing is *off*, with the mount table $ mount C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto) C: on /mnt/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) T: on /mnt/t type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) and just using normal svn file commands such as $ svn co file:///mnt/t/shared/svn/test . it appears to be working perfectly on both machines, no fiddling with users, passwd files, or anything else required.

Have you tried running gcc from the command line? Have a look at the thread started at http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-01/msg01228.html maybe your case is related.

"undefined reference to `_JNI_CreateJavaVM'"
I am trying to call some Java code from C via JNI, and am having problems building: main.o:main.c:(.text+0xcc): undefined reference to `_JNI_CreateJavaVM' I've basically followed along with what is written at http://www.inonit.com/cygwin/jni/invocationApi/ (built an import library, passed ld the "-L. -ljvm" parameters, and so on). One difference is that gcc no longer supports -mno-cygwin, but I'm not convinced that is the cause.

Maybe I could put that shortcut on my desktop instead of the one setup wants to put there :D Actually, I decided to have a little look at the code, but fell at the first hurdle whilst following the instructions in the README, because ./configure complains that -mno-cygwin is not supported (true enough): configure:3021: checking whether the C++ compiler works configure:3043: g++ -mno-cygwin -I /usr/include/ncurses conftest.cpp >&5 g++: The -mno-cygwin flag has been removed; use a mingw-targeted cross-compiler\ . configure:3047: $? = 1 configure:3085: result: no configure: failed program was: (etc.) WTH?

Problems with mutt & charset
For some reason although when I send emails containing certain umlauted characters everything looks fine, the recipient sometimes (or possibly always, I only know because one person mentioned it) doesn't see the characters correctly. I have the following environment variables set LANG = "en_US.UTF-8" LC_CTYPE = "de_CH.UTF-8" (LANG is en because I want to have my messages in English. Must LC_CTYPE match?) and within mutt I can see that Mutt has the charset variable set to UTF-8 - ':set &charset ?charset' displays 'charset="utf-8"'. However if I send *myself* an email containing upper case an umlauted A, O, or U I see garbage in mutt where the character should be, however if I look at the email via webmail it looks fine. Similary if I send a friend an email continaing (apparently) any type of umlauted character (upper or lower case) they appear to be replaced by spaces. I notice that the Content-Type header contains text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1. Is that correct? In .muttrc send_charset is unset, so allegedly defaults to charset, but that doesn't seem to be the case here for some reason. -- 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

Seems to work for what I want, which is my UI in English. Thanks. I think in principle I don't even need the other stuff in German, I originally wanted that for spell-checking IIRC, and I've since scripted things so that the language used for spell-checking is guessed based on the language of the email or document I am writing. > > However if I send *myself* an email containing upper case an umlauted A, > > O, or U I see garbage in mutt where the character should be > I don't use mutt, so I can't really help here, but a mintty user > reported that he had to rebuild mutt against ncursesw (which is now > part of the Cygwin distribution) to get UTF-8 in mutt working: > http://code.google.com/p/mintty/issues/detail?id=124#c28 Hmm. You mean to get any UTF-8 support at all? It's strange, because until a few weeks ago I could see all my umlauts just fine, but I don't know which of the changes since then have caused my problems - changing to UTF-8 and the consequent change to mintty (thanks for it, btw! really usable!), upgrading to cygwin 1.7, or something else (e.g. some config file change(s)).

Not really a solution, but Michael Elkins pointed out that this is "only" the html documentation, and the building of it can be disabled by editing the SUBDIRS variable in the makefile.

cygpath from emacs
I often find myself running a piece of software from within emacs that
expects, and spits out, Windows-style paths ("C:\..."). Handling sending
it Windows paths based on the Cygwin ones is fine, I just use a
script.
Of course, the tool returning Windows paths is a PITA, because it means
I can't do M-x next-error :( Is there a solution, a way to "capture
them" and transform them before they end up in the emacs buffer, maybe?
I feel I should be able to work this out myself, but my brain refuses to
bend around it :(

cygcheck behaviour when input is not a path
How should cygcheck behave when given a "PATH list" (e.g., '/bin:/usr/bin'), *without* the -p option? For example: $ cygpath -a -p -C ANSI -w /bin:/usr/bin C:\cygwin\bin;C:\cygwin\bin = okay. What I expect from RTFMP. $ cygpath -a -C ANSI -w /bin:/usr/bin C:\cygwin\bin?\usr\bin Urk! I would have hoped it wouldn't try to convert this, or at the very least not the last part, but I don't know if it's a bug, "by design", or what. Basically what I am trying to work out is how trustworthy cygpath is when it receives input that isn't actually a path (for example when it receives output from a program, some of which might be paths and some of which might not be). -- Gary Non-kook (allegedly) -- 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

Bug(?) with mutt, attachments, and symbolic links
Hi, I don't know if this is a bug or expected behaviour, but if I have a sym link to a file, let's say foo pointing at bar.pdf, and I then use the sym link name to attach the file in mutt, although the file is successfully attached, the file type is not correctly used for the encoding. I haven't yet been able to find if this is a mutt problem generally, something to do with the cygwin port or the way cygwin handles symbolic links, or if it is actually expected behaviour.

ssmtp with multiple email accounts
I can't be the only one who has this, so I'm wondering if I've missed something really simple. Like many people I have multiple email accounts and would like to send from all of them using mutt. I currently use ssmtp to deliver to the outside world. The problem is that the config is different for each email account. How can I automatically make ssmtp aware of, for example (starting with something pretty basic), which AuthUser it should use to send a specific email? I found http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2003-03/msg01075.html which is part ofthe way there but it looks like the scripts require some kind of manual intervention.

RE: ssmtp with multiple email accounts

Re: FW: ssmtp with multiple email accounts
> Well, then mutt lets you choose *its* configuration file. Yeah, but then I have to know in advance which emails I am going to send before starting mutt, and I'm not that organised (it is pretty impractical anyway, due to replying to mails using different From addresses). Maybe my best bet is to run a script from mutt's send-hook to set up the ssmtp.conf correctly for the outgoing mail. Or maybe it is even possible to set the sendmail variable in the send-hook to something like "/usr/sbin/ssmtp.exe -C~/.ssmtp/..conf". I was just kind of hoping someone had already done something, to save me the work :-) or that I'd just missed something in the way I am using mutt. -- 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: FW: ssmtp with multiple email accounts
> Why do you need multiple ssmtp configurations? Why can't you just use > ssmtp to relay to your ISP's SMTP server for all of your outgoing mail? I don't have access to a mailhub which allows what I need given ssmtp's limitation of one authenticating user. Taking one of the two that I use, gmail for my domain, as an example - It is required to authenticate using the name of the user sending the mail, which means that ssmtp.conf has to include that information (SmtpAuth=, I think, but don't have access to it ATM). If several "users", i.e. me using several addreses on my domain for different reasons, want to send mail then ssmtp has to somehow know which user it has to authenticate with. It gets worse in that I have another account completely separate from gmail and my domain that I also want to send email from - they won't allow me to send email using any different address than is with them via their servers any more than gmail will allow me to send email for the separate email address (I could make it an alias in gmail, but would rather not). Maybe exim can be configured to do that "translation", I don't know, but a) I prefer to have as few daemons/services running as I can, and b) secure configuration looks like a PITA. Other than that, I'm open to suggestions. -- 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/

Short version: set sendmail="/usr/bin/ssmtp -C/etc/ssmtp/" works just fine in a folder-hook. Long version: If you are reading this then I solved the problem with the previously mentioned "-C" stuff - ssmtp does not seem to allow one to specify "~/foo.conf" (for example) as the config file. If you set it to -C/etc/ssmtp/foo.conf then everything will be fine and you can happily have as many different email accounts and external mailhubs as your heart desires and you can maintain the configurations for. I don't know if not allowing the config file to be anywhere but /etc/ssmtp is a bug, a feature, or a random twist of fate, but it would be nice if the maintainer could mention it in the man file (or maybe I just missed it when I read it). -- 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/
gpg does not like "e" key
This is really bizarre, even for a crypto related subject. gpg does not accept the letter "e" in the real name or email address.

[snip irrelevant blathering] Please select what kind of key you want: (1) DSA and Elgamal (default) (2) DSA (sign only) (5) RSA (sign only) Your selection? 1 DSA keypair will have 1024 bits. ELG-E keys may be between 1024 and 4096 bits long. What keysize do you want? (2048) Requested keysize is 2048 bits Please specify how long the key should be valid. 0 = key does not expire = key expires in n days w = key expires in n weeks m = key expires in n months y = key expires in n years Key is valid for? (0) Key does not expire at all Is this correct? (y/N) y You need a user ID to identify your key; the software constructs the user ID from the Real Name, Comment and Email Address in this form: "Heinrich Heine (Der Dichter) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" Real name: Gary Jons Err. What? Where did the "e" in Jones go? It doesn't work. At all. Even ignoring and continuing, when you get the confirmation of the data you have entered it is missing the "e" (so it is not something related to not displaying it just during typing). The keyboard works fine in normal shell, and is only screwy with gpg. I've tried this using rxvt and the standard terminal. German language notebook keyboard and Windows installation. Someone will probably tell me it is a security feature because e is so common in the English language ;) Seriously though, can anyone reproduce or give any advice as to solving or workarounds?

I was just reusing the example from http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html I don't think what I want to do is going to work, TBH. It goes back to a previous thread about using "DOS" tools from inside Cygwin's emacs and the resulting path-style clash. Someone (I think it was you, actually) suggested script should handle the paths spewed out from the tool, converting them to Cygwin/Unix style paths. It looks like cygpath tries to convert every line of (for example) '-f -' though.

Okay. So I'm SOL with tool output like "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in C:\cygwin\home\jg\work\foo.php on line 10" then, short of parsing it myself :-( Actually cygpath's response to the tool ouput in this instance was "cygpath: can't convert empty path" although that seems to be a barf on a previous, empty, line of output, because on testing just that line with cygpath -u I got "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in C:/cygwin/home/jg/work/foo.php on line 10" That is, the path is more posix-like, but certainly isn't "unixified". -- Gary Non-kook (allegedly) -- 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

Re: SSHD Issue Windows 2003 64 bit
I've tried re-running the 000-cygwin-post-install.sh & receive no echo from the terminal, I've moved the passwd file (from my understanding outside the directory before running the post-install). My passwd file looks like this: sshd:*:27:27:sshd privsep:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin I can't find a passwd-grp.sh script. What should my passwd file look like?

Re: SSHD Issue Windows 2003 64 bit
Created the passwd and group files from: /bin/mkpasswd -l -c > /etc/passwd /bin/mkgroup -> l -c > /etc/group passwd files looks good now, moved passwd file and re-ran ./000-cygwin-post-install.sh Still when I 'net start sshd' I still receive the same error, also when I try to re-instantiate the service in windows..

Bash cut and paste
Hi, Could somebody point me to something that will allow me to setup Bash cut and paste to the Windows Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V set? (or something near that) I've checked the faq but I guess the terms I'm using to search are wrong.

3rd time lucky? Apache startup woes
Hi all, I've not received any replies to this one yet. Can anyone help, or at least point me at some resources that may. I'm getting a bit desperate now cos I've got to get this working by Sunday so I can do a demo at the AGM of a charity I'm involved in, so clear simple instructions that even I can understand would be appreciated.

However, having looked at the file, it simply says to refer to the Cygwin Mailing list for instructions. I've had a look at the archives and found many references to rebase, but can't sus out exactly what I need to do - how to find out what params to pass to rebase etc. Anyone got a link to a good reference I could read?
