Re: Install failing and leaving unusable system
Julian Hall wrote: I know this has been discussed here before, but it seems that it's something that happens to a lot of people, so it should probably be fixed. It seems as though a fairly simple update to the setup program might be helpful to people who have the problem. In script.cc, there are currently lines that read: if (retval) log(LOG_PLAIN) abnormal exit: exit code= retval endLog;; /* if file exists then delete it otherwise just ignore no file error */ io_stream::remove (cygfile:// + scriptName + .done); io_stream::move (cygfile:// + scriptName, cygfile:// + scriptName + .done); I'd suggest changing them so that the destination filename in the case of an abnormal exit is different (e.g. scriptName + .failed). A flag could then be set so that a dialog box is shown at the end, stating that errors occurred running the postinstall scripts, and directing users to a simple shell script that can be run after rebooting, which will run all the /etc/postinstall/*.failed scripts and move them to appropraite .done names. Does that sound like a sensible idea? Sounds reasonable to me. Want to create a patch for the maintainers to review? -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

Re: cron disables dialog window
Kevin Cella wrote: I have a script that runs and kicks off a windows program that opens a dialog where it automatically enters the necessary data and submits the result. It works beautifully if I run it through a cygwin shell, but not when executed as a cron job. When executed as a cron job, the dialog window never appears. I have tried using cygstart and bash –l –c, but neither was effective. Any ideas? Yes. You'll need to reinstall 'cron' with 'cygrunsrv' using the -i parameter to allow it to interact with the desktop or go into the Windows services panel and alter the existing service to do the same. You may still find that the result doesn't work quite the same as when run from the command line. If that's the case, then there are environment settings that also need to be added to your script.

I suspected. Tellingly, when I tried to delete cygz.dll, I got an error that it was in use. Running Process Explorer told me it was sshd using it, so I had to net stop it and then kill one remaining sshd process to be able to delete the file. A little odd that sshd binding to the wrong copy of cygz.dll would only cause a problem when run at boot time, but there you have it. It's highly dependent on the order you did things. You don't need'em. You don't want'em. They'll just cause you grief (as you've noted already). Well, I don't know that I don't need 'em. I may have just broken a video editing related piece of software that I have a need to use. But perhaps if the software specifically depends on those older versions of cygwin1.dll and cygz.dll I can move them into the same directory as its executable. Trust me. You're better off without them. Add the path to bin to your PATH variable for Windows and everything that needs cygwin1.dll will just work. Same for cygz.dll, as long as you've installed that package. A little worried about the fact that cygwin1.dll seemed to restore itself after I deleted it, but I did install some video software last night, so perhaps it was a new package that stuck in the new (if identical) copy rather than the original one repairing itself. I guess I could use Process Monitor (the successor to Filemon and Regmon -- Microsoft is now redirecting sysinternals.com URLs to an area on microsoft.com, BTW) or something to find out who's sticking it there. Right. Unfortunately, you'll have to do this every time you install from a 3PP. One thing I didn't notice until this evening is that the cygwin1.dll and cygz.dll in system32 had the Hidden attribute on! Some 3PP really didn't want me to mess with them. Luckily I always configure my Windows Explorer to display hidden files (and I used 'find', which ignores the Hidden attribute, rather than the error message's suggested Start... Search), but I can see this causing a lot of consternation for less savvy users. Setting the hidden attribute on DLLs is now standard Windows procedure. Thanks to all for your help in solving this! (Hopefully it'll *remain* working this time. ;^ At least if it doesn't I'll almost certainly know why.) Right. You're welcome. :-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

Re: unable to remove hard link
DePriest, Jason R. wrote: I did some unfortunate experimenting with compiling different versions of Sleuthkit and Autopsy (http://www.sleuthkit.org) before they officially started supporting cygwin. Autopsy wipes out your PATH when it runs to make sure you are using the correct version of the utilities. This also means, it could not see any of the Cygwin dlls that the tools were compiled with (they've implemented intelligent work-arounds since then). I tried hard linking the various dlls it needed in its designated bin directory. The experiment isn't important (since they now support Cygwin out of the box), what is important is that I cannot delete my hard links. Actually, I can get it to go the recycle bin, but it won't leave the recycle bin. I can 'restore' them but I cannot empty it. Looking through my bash history file, I see I did: chmod a+rwx cygz.dll unlink cygz.dll This let me delete the file as far as getting it to the recycle bin, but that is as far as I can go. The specific error from Windows is: Error Deleting File or Folder Cannot delete cygz: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use. Since the file is in my recycle bin, this message makes no sense.

Re: Windows environment variables in ssh sessions with privilege seperation
Sean Morgan wrote: I have cygwin sshd installed using privilege separation but find that when connected via ssh that neither the windows system nor user variables are present in the bash shell as they are when cygwin is run in a command shell from the Windows desktop. Could someone explain to me why this might be or how it might be corrected? My goal is that whether a user connects via ssh or starts a shell from the Windows GUI that they have a consistent bash environment. This has been discussed before. A minimal shell environment is communicated to each session started via 'ssh'. This is to limit security holes. Either of the two options below is your alternative. I suspect that the root of this problem lies in the privilege separation but I don't think I can get away from this if I want to use network shares with smbntsec. I am considering two possible workarounds if the core problem cannot be addressed: No, privilege separation has nothing to do with this or the use (or not) of network shares. If part at least part of your goal in using 'ssh' is secure connections, privilege separation makes sense. 1. Create a bash script that sets the same variables as they are set in Windows and dump it into /etc/profile.d. This though seems to have the disadvantage that it will need to be maintained and as they Windows environment variables may change would end up divergent. 2. Create a bash script that extracts the Windows variables from the registry and resets them as needed and dump this script into /etc/profile.d. This has the advantage that it can automatically keep up with changes in the Windows environment variables. snip -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

I am not disputing your findings (Mikkel, anyone else), but all of the evidence that I have learned point to this. In fact, I installed the trial version 4.0 of Outpost Firewall and the problem starts. Once I had uninstalled the software, the problem disappears. According to the Agnitum Forums, the developers are working on a solution to the problem. A workaround is to uninstall version 4 of the firewall, and install version 3.51. This will provide firewall protection for the computer, while allowing the use of Cygwin as well. Hope this helps, Hugh Thanks! It was indeed Outpost 4 causing it. Even stopping Outpost didn't fix the problem. Booting to safe mode with networking, making sure no Outcrap processes was running didn't fix it either. It must be starting some hidden process or modifying system files or something like that. I'm not sure exactly what was causing it but removing Outpost fixed it. Thanks God I was only using the trial. It messes with the network stack. This happens at install time, not run-time. That means that you have to un-install it to see if it's the culprit, as you found out. This is a common theme for many software firewall products. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

The bug, IMO, is the assigment to version of `cat foo1.out` contains a
^M. I'm on a text mount, so this is counter to what I thought would
happen.
Time to adjust your expectations. ;-) Text mounts write CRNL as EOLs
for all files that are not explicitly opened as binary (or text for
that matter). Text mounts remove the CR from EOLs read from files that
are not explicitly opened as binary (or text). 'cat' explicitly opens
the file as binary. If you need it to work otherwise, write a simple
wrapper. Or just do the easy thing and change your mode to 'binary'
and run 'd2u' on your local versions of the scripts. This is most
compatible with the majority of non-Windows platforms. ;-)

When i resize the window, the image gets scrambled, etc... but nothing displays. Everything else about the program works though. How do I begin to troubleshoot something like this. My professor who wrote the code told me he used to compile on an older version of cygwin, and the newer versions gave him this same problem, and he never had time to figure out why. Another friend who has taken a look at it thinks it might have something to do with calling gl functions before initializing the gl context, which is apparently allowed on linux. He tried compiling the same code on a macbook pro, and he says it crashes because the code makes a gl call before initializing the gl context. My cygwin compiled version doesn't crash, it even allows me to open and save obj files and perform operations... I know I haven't shown any code here, or given anything to really help diagnose much, but if someone could give me pointers as to where to begin to debug this problem, i would really appreciate it. dave I should add this as well... this is what cygwin puts out after running the makefile: Info: resolving Fl::e_keysym by linking to __imp___ZN2Fl8e_keysymE (auto-import) Info: resolving Fl::e_state by linking to __imp___ZN2Fl7e_stateE (auto-import) Info: resolving Fl::e_y by linking to __imp___ZN2Fl3e_yE (auto-import) Info: resolving Fl::e_x by linking to __imp___ZN2Fl3e_xE (auto-import) Info: resolving vtable for Fl_Menu_Barby linking to __imp___ZTV11Fl_Menu_Bar (auto-import) Info: resolving vtable for Fl_Gl_Windowby linking to __imp___ZTV12Fl_Gl_Window (auto-import) Info: resolving vtable for Fl_Double_Windowby linking to __imp___ZTV16Fl_Double_Window (auto-import) i have no idea what that stuff means, but thought it might be important... If you don't know, then you can ignore it.

Re: libraries

(if only used by cygwin programs which emulate *nix (does it also know about shared library objects)? (3) The ms-dll shared library format is only necessary if we want ms-programs to be able to use the program. There's no incompatibility of object format between Cygwin static libs and those created by the MS compiler. Ditto for DLLs. There is no such thing as shared libraries in the traditional UNIX sense on Windows. The only incompatibilities between Cygwin built libs/DLLs and MS's are: 1. References to C++ in libs/DLLs built in one won't be resolved in the other (this is true when mixing and matching C++ object code from any compiler). This is not a problem for C code. 2. Calling Cygwin compiled code from a native executable needs some extra steps to make sure that the Cygwin C-runtime initialization code gets called. The reverse situation is not generally a problem. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.

The process that you need to go through to find out the name of a printer on your system and/or domain is really off-topic for this list. Your best choice for a source of this information is your local admin. That said, you should find some information about the printer by looking at the list of available printers that you can find under the printers applet in the control panel. You can also try to install a new network printer through this applet to find those available. You should be able to match up some of the information provided about the available network printers with the one you already have installed.

From some posts, it seems it could be coming from a device (webcam) or a software such as the anti-virus. I have almost nothing installed on this machine aside from MySQL and Tomcat5. Its a Xeon server running Windows 2003 server. Here is the actual error for bash. C:\cygwin\bin 4 [main] bash 3376 C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - WFSO timed out after longjmp Some people have been suggesting to try a rebaseall. Same thing happens, I get two errors, a fhandler_base::fork_fixup immediately and an WFSO longjmp error after 5 min. Here are the errors: C:\cygwin\bin 4 [main] ash 1328 fhandler_base::fork_fixup: /bin/rebaseall - Win32 error 5, handle io_handle0x0 C:\cygwin\bin 4 [main] ash 1856 C:\cygwin\bin\ash.exe: *** fatal error - WFSO timed out after longjmp I've also updated cygwin to the latest version and reinstalled bash and cygsrv. No changes, same errors. If someone has an idea, please let me know. I'm at a loss and can't figure what to do next. Let's start here: Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html You've given us some information about what you see and when but we're missing allot of specifics about your configuration and a possible test case (or cases). I'd recommend any follow-up posting to this list contain the additional information outlined at the above web page. Hi again, Sorry about the lack of background info. Let's try to correct it. I've attached the cygcheck output and realized that there is a series of not found that includes bash. Also, I was unfortunately not able to reproduce a problem on another sytem. When double clicking on the cygwin icon (or launching bash --login -i from the windows command line), the window hangs blank for 5 minutes and then disappear. In the case of the windows command line, after a few minutes it outputs the following error reported earlier: C:\cygwin\binbash.exe --login -i C:\cygwin\bin 4 [main] bash 3376 C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: ***fatal error - WFSO timed out after longjmp There is a few related records in the Windows Application Event Viewer: - Faulting application id.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module cygwin1.dll, version 1005.22.0.0, fault address 0x365f. - Faulting application cygrunsrv.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module cygwin1.dll, version 1005.22.0.0, fault address 0x365f. Also, when I try to start manually a service such as inetd or exim, the error is: - The CYGWIN inetd service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 2 time(s). - The exim service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 2 time(s). I hope this is a bit more precise. Thanks you. Yep, that's good. Looks like your installation didn't complete, probably because you didn't stop your services before updating. I'd suggest rebooting, if you have not already since installing. Otherwise, I'd recommend running 'setup.exe' again and allow it to just run with the packages you have already selected. This will run the postinstall scripts, which seem to have not run the last time. If that still doesn't work, look in '/etc/postinstall' and look for scripts that don't have the suffix '.done'. You'll want to run each of these manually with 'c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe'. That's what rerunning 'setup.exe' should do for you but doing so manually should give you more info about any problems. You can also look in '/var/log/setup.log.full' for diagnostic messages that were generated by 'setup.exe' the last time you ran it. This should give you some information about what postinstall scripts had complaints. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.

I'll know it in the future. On the actual problem: 1- I've rebooted since the last install, the problem persists 2- All the files in /etc/postinstall have the .done suffix 3- In setup.log.full, the only error is about McShield (Could not open service McShield for query, start and stop). Is this related? No. That just means you don't have McAfee. So, I've followed your suggestion and 1- relaunched setup.exe, nothing was installed
Re: how to test sshd running ?
kato fong wrote: Hi, I want to write a sh script that executes itself if sshd is not running. But what is the reliable way to test if I get sshd running under cygwin/windows95? This isn't a Cygwin-specific question. As such, discussion of it is really off-topic for this list. That said, the following should work (untested on Cygwin or W95): #! /bin/bash ps -C sshd /dev/null if [ $? -eq 0 ] then echo sshd running else echo sshd not running fi It's wordy but you get the idea. ;-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

Re: symlink problem

Hi, all
I'll appreciate if you give me advises.
I my cygwin, ready-made symlink files, which contain
'!symlinkfilename'
sentence, cannot be executed.
The cygwin is as installed by using setup.exe.2.510.2.2 for All Users.
Default Text file Type is Unix/binary.
For example, the cygwin prompts like below.
('gwak' works well, of course. )
$ awk
/usr/bin/sh: /usr/bin/awk: No such file or directory
$ file /usr/bin/awk.exe
/usr/bin/awk.exe: Assembler source
Check if the system attribute is set on this file. If it's not, set it.

Re: Cygwin 1.5.22 - everything crashes, windows exception
Paul Murphy wrote: Hello, I have recently installed cygwin, and during the installation received a series of crashes for bash.exe - standard Windows XP exception errors. However, all the files were copied to i:\dev\cygwin, and if I attempt to carry out any command in that directory, I receive the same error - at least for any command I have tried. Below is the cygcheck, however please note that id.exe crashed with the same error, so some of it may be missing. I have tried running with Avast AV off, and with Outpost firewall off, and I have tried just copying the following files to c:\cygwin to see if a more standard dir location would help: 07/12/2006 01:17 484,352 bash.exe 23/10/2006 10:44 999,424 cygiconv-2.dll 23/10/2006 11:2331,744 cygintl-8.dll 15/11/2006 18:21 242,688 cygncurses-8.dll 16/12/2006 10:50 157,696 cygreadline6.dll 14/11/2006 03:48 1,872,347 cygwin1.dll However, I got the same error. I did a search for any other cygwin dlls, and there were some applications that had their own installed, off the path, and in their own folders. They shouldn't have made a difference, but I deleted them anyway. It didn't help. The XP installation is relatively new - I rebuilt it recently, and the previous build didn't have any issues with cygwin, and this build is essentially the same in any respect that I can think would make a difference. Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this? I believe Outpost has been implicated before when these kinds of problems pop up. Not sure about Avast. You can check the email archives for details. If these are recent changes (or at least different than the last time when you didn't have these problems), you can uninstall them and try again. Turning them off is not generally enough because of changes these kinds of programs make in the network stack when they are installed. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
