Hi,

I have XWin 6.8.2.0-4 and am running on Windows2000
professional, starting it like this:

   XWin -multiplemonitors -clipboard -rootless -screen ...

And, I am runing fvwm2 as the window manager, and a couple
of xterms in it.

So, I left mouse click to highlight some text, and
hit CNTL-C to copy it and move to another window
and hit CNTL-V to paste it. 


Nothing happens. I also tried pasting into the native
windows application Notepad and still nothing.

I looked into the xclipboard man page, but there was
nothing there. I checked the web. Someone suggested I
should use -emulate3buttons.

I would like to be able to copy from one xterm to another.

Every window has the reverse video highlight capability.
However, I can't get beyond that.

Please help.

Thanks,

David

if your mouse has a clickable scrollwheel, or any other button that can 
be identified as 'button3', click it.

i.e.
1. highlight text to copy ( ctrl-C is NOT require )
2. make 'paste into' window/Xapp the active window ( click on the 
window/Xapp you want to past into)
3) click the scroll button, or if emulate3buttons is on , click 
left/right buttons in quick sequence ( or click whatever other button 
your mouse has defined as button3
3a) to paste into a native WINDOWS app, select the app, ctrl-v, or right 
click/select paste

Create .Xdefaults at home directory if does not already exists.
google or man xterm should tell you more.
Enter/append lines similar to these:

xterm*scrollBar: true

alternatively invoke the xterm with the pertinent command line parameters...

Further, in the case of the other three packages

X server crashing -- winClipboardProc - Call to select () failed: -1. Bailing.

2006-03-02 Thread Reid Thompson
X windows had been stable for quite a while for me( in continuous use, 
days, sometimes weeks at at time).  Over the past couple of weeks it's 
begun crashing fairly regularly.  The XWin.log has these final 
statements in it:



winClipboardProc - Call to select () failed: -1.  Bailing.
winClipboardProc - XDestroyWindow succeeded.

winClipboardIOErrorHandler!


Anyone have any pointers to what may have changed/be causing this?

It behaves the same for me no matter where I run it.  I even increased the
final sleep time in case the program was exiting before the bogus alarm
was tripped.

  I've cc'd the cygwin list on this reply since the difference
(Win2K vs. WinXP) may be significant.  I'm also running cygwin

Re: Tcsh .history file growing out of control

2006-01-26 Thread Reid Thompson

Bruce Dobrin wrote:
 
Hi All,


This is generally a minor headache,  But routinely for about the last 2
years while running rxvt and tcsh,  I'll have a problem where I can't
start a new shell and I'll find that I have a .history file that is 4 to
5 gig's.  I blow the thing away and all is once again right in the
world.  It seems to often correspond with a user ( often myself) having
closed a shell that not only doesn't really close but starts spinning
out of control, using 100% CPU.  Obviously it is doing something that is
filling the history file,  but usually when I notice it,  the history
file is too big to open or move and I need to solve the problem so I
just end up blowing it away.  I think this started cropping up when
Cygwin moved from 1.3 to 1.5 and has happened with every version since.
I'd like to try just using bash or something else,  but my facility
standard for all flavors of UNIX is tcsh and my changing to bash
wouldn't help the 1000 other people in the facility that occasionally
get burned by this when on their windows boxes.  I hit it a couple of
times a month,  most users much less,  but it's been burning us more and
more as our users move transparently between windows, Linux and Irix.

I hoped I'd see something crop up on the list,  none of my searches have
turned up anything.

Thanks
Bruce

If you set your history file to contain only 1000 events, does that fix 
the issue.

from the tcsh man page:

history The first word indicates the number of history events to  save.
  The optional second word (+) indicates the format in 
which his-
  tory is printed; if not given,  `%h\t%T\t%R\n'  is  
used.   The
  format  sequences  are  described  below under prompt; 
note the

  variable meaning of `%R'.  Set to `100' by default.

Gary, could you post a few links to some of those libraries?

Yes, that's exactly what I'd like to do.  Why?  It's a great way for
unobtrusive, yet noticeable, notifications.  My immediate goal is to
script a little unit test runner in the background, which constantly
runs, and loads a green or red icon in the tray.

But I think being able to do this from shell scripts would be very,
very useful.  How 'bout an icon that pop ups when an incoming email
has the word URGENT in it?  That way, you can avoid disrupting your
flow, and not check your email, and still be informed when an urgent
one comes in.  A few lines of shell script, once we'd have this.

Anyone up to code this?

But, yes, my immediate use is for simple continuous integration / test
driven development.

I have an application written and compiled using gcc and ncurses (for

entering the data into, and they can't read it.

I'm using a shortcut to start this, and the level of display of the

Re: X-Query (imp urgent)

2005-10-21 Thread Reid Thompson

Alec stewart wrote:


Hello All,
I have installed g++ for Windows on my System and was trying to build
a project on the same. It is like this that when I disable the GUI
portion from my project my project builds very fine and executable
works fine also but when I want to enable the GUI portion also there
are a few errors.

1)
Portion for enabling or disabling GUI is like
#define NO_GRAPHICS /* comment or uncomment this line*/ --line 1
#ifndef NO_GRAPHICS

#include X11/Xlib.h
#include X11/Xutil.h

//#include X11/Xos.h //line---2
#include X11/Xatom.h

#endif

Here if I comment line line 1 it first gives the compilation error
itself for not being able to find Xos.h
Query #1
So first thing I want to know is why  Xos.h is not available with g++
for Windows and or what is the alternative for that.


However If i comment this line 2 there comes a linker errror with a
lot of messages..but all similar to
undefined reference to XSetFont
undefined reference to XCreateWindow

basically all related to XWindow APIs..but all of them have been
declared as extern in other include files of X11 folder.
So my second query is
how can i specify my lib include directory in cygwin through windows
i.e. with which option -ldirectory or what.

when i speciifed -ldirectory d:\cygwin\lib it says that it can not
find the path 
so what is equivalent in terms of /usr/lib ..or like .what 


those interested my makefiles ..here is partial but only useful
section ..

Soong, SylokeJ wrote:
 No. He is telling you how to shut down with a single click
 rather than my right clicking and selecting Exit. Which is
 answering your question 4. 
 
 Also about your question 2, as someone else recommended,
 you should consider running either
 startxwin.bat or startxwin.sh.
 But doing that, whatever you wrote in ~/.xinitrc would
 no longer be effective because either of these startup
 files would not call .xinitrc .
 
 I prefer the bat file because I would need to first
 start cygwin bash in a win/xp cmd window to allow me to
 run the sh file, thereby leaving a win/xp cmd window around
 annoying you more than the X icon would.

this is not an issue -- run setup and download rxvt
configure a shortcut with rxvt exec'ing a bash shell ( passing whatever
params to rxvt and bash that you wish)
  Target:   C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -fn lucida console-13-bold -e
c:\cygwin\bin\bash
use the shortcut to open a bash shell prompt and enter
$ nohup startxwin.sh 

you should then be able to exit the rxvt shell window w/o X dying.
 
 The bat file is not unix and you might be more familiar
 with it.

 www.HETranslation.co.uk

my mouse has two buttons + a scrool wheel that can be clicked.  clicking
the scroll wheel acts the same as clicking the middle mouse button of a
three button mouse.
so, i can highlight any text with the left mouse button ( or other means
), and then click with the the scroll button to paste into any other
application.  if you don't have a three button mouse, and don't have a
scroll wheel that clicks, you can try clicking right and left mouse
buttons very quickly one after the other -- on many systems this is
configured to emulate the button 3 click.

I highly recommend downloading rxvt and configuring it as your terminal
-- it is orders of magnitude better than cmd.exe in my opinion.

 Nice subject line - I'm not really sure why I started this Basic

 between win/xp and cygwin? I think that is his intent.
 
 Microsoft(which you know):
 copy is by selecting then ctrl-c or menu-copy.
 paste is by ctrl-v or menu-paste.
 
 Motif  cygwin:
 Selecting text would spontaneously
 (some people might prefer the term, automatically)
 copy into clipboard.
 Paste is by middle button click.
 
 Thanks for explain this. It's embarrassing, but I wasn't aware of the
 different behaviour :-[ 
 
 
 e.g. copying from MS to Cyg:
 copy text from MS win, move cursor to cyg window and press/release
 middle button. Conversely from cyg to MS:
 select text at cyg win, move mouse to MS win and ctrl-v.
 Voila!
 
 However, if you don't have a middle mouse button, or you had mapped
 that button to do something else, you could use -emulate3buttons
 option which would require you to press both mouse buttons together
 to emulate the middle button.
 
 I do have the scroll wheel button assigned to double click,
 and I would
 like to keep that setting, which raises the question of where exactly
 I would have to specify -emulate3buttons (is it simply another command
 line option after startx?) and what you mean by both mouse
 buttons -
 do you mean left and right?

Re: rxvt/bash immediately exits

2005-09-18 Thread Reid Thompson



No, I haven't upgraded. I installed RealPlayer, the R statistical
system, Kerberos for Windows, and KLP (for Kerberos printing), but I
doubt those are related to the issue, and I also need this software
more than I need bash to directly work in rxvt.

I usually just use a shortcut to a script that runs rxvt -e bash
--login -i. I can't think of any way other than using the -e argument
to directly run bash in rxvt. Any workarounds would also be
appreciated.

 


may or may not resolve your issue.  i invoke via

It should not take more than a few seconds to open a cygwin bash prompt.
If i dbl-click on cygwin-bat, it takes about 3 secs for a bash prompt
window to be ready for use.  2+ghz intel, with 1GB ram.  same with my
home machine 2500XP athlon with 512MB ram.  ( i normally open a bash
session in rxvt ( can't stand cmd.exe ), and it also takes ~3 secs to be
ready )

My suggestion is this.
make sure no cygwin processes are running ( ps -ef )
return to www.cygwin.com, re-run setup for cygwin, selecting to
re-install all of the non-X applications that you have installed.  When
that has completed, re-run setup again, selecting to re-install all of
the X applications that you have installed.

go ahead and reboot. ( shouldn't be necessary, but lets do so anyway)

dbl-click on c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat

Make sure that /usr/X11R6/bin is in your PATH.
$ echo $PATH  ( if not in there, export PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin)( you
can add this to your .bashrc or .bash_profile if needed)

Make sure the display is set correctly:

$ env |grep DISPLAY  ( what does this show )

Mine:
$ env |grep DISP
DISPLAY=:0

run
$ startxwin.sh

open another bash shell via cygwin.bat
run
$ xterm

when it's all said and done it's pretty simple,
go to www.cygwin.com, run setup to install base packages.  Run setup

I think that the pages http://x.cygwin.com/ and www.cygwin.com and
http://cygwin.com/docs.html provide pretty straightforward instructions.




Downloading and Installing

Install
Cygwin/X
now

Cygwin/X is installed via Cygwin's setup.exe and the installation
process is documented in the Cygwin/X User's Guide. Whether or not you
already have Cygwin installed, you can add Cygwin/X to your installation
by downloading the latest setup.exe, running setup, and selecting the
'xorg-x11-base' package from the 'X11' category.

Using Cygwin/X is documented in a step-by-step manner, with lots of
pictures and examples, in the Cygwin/X User's Guide. Please notice,
however, that Cygwin/X contains many general-purpose programs,
libraries, and functions that are part of all X distributions. It is
therefore beyond the scope of the Cygwin/X User's Guide to document all
of these X Window System components. To find documentation, for example,
for setxkbmap one should consult the generic X documentation such as the
SETXKBMAP(1) manual page. You could always, of course, do a Google
search for setxkbmap, which finds the manual page mentioned above.

 Is there documentation on the documentation?
 
 In other words, is the process of submitting documentation
 documented? Does one use the GNU texi or SGML docbook or some
 other format? I've been curious about these tools for years
 but have never used them.
 
 Are there any functions documented (and I just had the bad
 luck of picking the only three that were not documented) or
 do they all need to be documented? (Yikes! That could be a big job)!
 
 Is it a simple matter of cutting and pasting from linux (e.g.
 fedora) man pages or does one have to go to the source code
 and extract the copious comments there and just reformat them
 into man pages?

If you do, and you enter your linux password, do you then get a prompt

I get a password prompt, but after entering my password, nothing else

Does the same happen if you run ssh -x (note the lowercase) without
DISPLAY= and -Y?  If so, you may indeed have a general ssh issue -- 
try to

get a working prompt first, and then set up X forwarding.

 


ssh -x (lowercase) works just fine. I enter my password and immediately
receive a command prompt.

One more place to check is your startup scripts on the remote machine.
Do they change the value of DISPLAY (they shouldn't -- it should be left
at whatever ssh sets it to)?  Do they try to launch an X client if 
DISPLAY

is set (that could be what's causing the apparent hang)?
   Igor
[*] Well, there are more configuration options to check, but the two
things above are required regardless of the configuration.
 


I don't see any scripts that would change the DISPLAY variable on the
server. Also, if I ssh directly in to the server, echo $DISPLAY shows
that the variable is empty. Should this have a value?

If I kill the shell process on my windows machine, the xterm throws an
error: Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11
forwarding. and then logs me in to the server with a text command
prompt. I'm not sure if this is important or anything.

Thanks for the help so far.

(Just like Unix mount points.)
   



Not on linux.
mount /dev/fd /mnt/floppy; reboot; ls /mnt/floppy
will show an empty directory.

 


I think that's a reflection of how the mount is defined in /etc/fstab.

A USB Mass Storage Device that does this is poorly designed at best, and
probably not compliant with the USB specification.  I can't recall a
situation where a device is allowed to just disappear once plugged in and
enumerated without the user doing something (a bus-powered device anyway).
You should see if there is a firmware upgrade available for it.

Then again, I know firsthand that Microsoft had USB Mass Storage pretty
wildly wrong as late as the release of XP SP...2 I think, maybe 1, so who
knows, could be MS's fault.

 



Most cameras have an auto-off function to preserve battery power. I do 
not think any of them are actually usb powered when plugged in.  I know 
that mine will NOT function without charged batteries in it even when 
plugged into a port. I suppose that if a camera has the means to turn 
off the auto-shutoff function then it will not disappear until the 
batteries fail, whereupon it will act like any other externally powered 
USB device and become unaccessable.  I believe that some cameras come 
with an external power adapter that will provide continuous power.

Re: Starting Xwin - Shell Window Remains

2005-08-15 Thread Reid Thompson

As info
I start X by
   using a shortcut to open an rxvt window running bash ( see below for 
contents of shortcut  scripts ). 
   (If you do not have rxvt, use setup to get it, it is 
unbelievable to me that with billions of dollars MS cannot include a 
decent command prompt.)

   Then, in the rxvt window I type
  startxscript 

After this I can exit the rxvt window used to start X with no problems.

I have a desktop shortcut that has a target of:

C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -sr -sl 2500  -geometry 80x25 -sb -fg grey -bg 
grey15 -fn lucida console-13-bold -e c:/cygwin/bin/bash --rcfile 
/home/rthompso/.bashrc


and a start in value of:

c:\cygwin\home\rthompso

$HOME/bin is part of my path.
I have $HOME/bin/startxscript that contains:

$ cat startxscript
#!/bin/bash
/usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh

RE: Initial run of BASH doesn't initialize home directory

2005-07-13 Thread Reid Thompson
Tom Smith wrote:
 With all due respect, Igor, I think you missed my point.
 
 The point is this:
 
 1) I ran the Cygwin setup.exe and the Cygwin/X setup.exe
 (a distinction made by the cygwin.com web site itself) on the
 same computer.

It's the same installer, just linked to different pages with different
text.

 2) The Cygwin/X installation gave me grief as mentioned in my initial
 post. 3) The Cygwin installation gave me no grief and worked
 perfectly. 

Run the installer once selecting all the non-X stuff you want.
Setup your environment like you want it.
Run the installer again, selecting all the X stuff you want.

 
 Therefore, my conclusion was that there's something different
 between the two installation routines--is this not a rational
 conclusion? 
 
 I apologize for not including the output of cygcheck -svr.
 I no longer have Cygwin/X installed so this will have to wait
 until tomorrow.
 
 Based on what I mentioned above, is this still something I
 should take to the Cygwin list?

RE: Problems running OpenGL program on Cygwin

2005-07-06 Thread Reid Thompson
Larry Griffith wrote:
 Dear List Members,
 
 I'm a newbie to Cygwin who is trying to learn how to run
 an OpenGL program under Cygwin-X.  I used a standard program
 written by SGI (called cube.c) that I know runs correctly
 under Solaris 9, using gcc and the Mesa library, so I don't
 think the program itself is the problem.
 
 I ran xinit to get a bash shell, cd'd to the proper directory,
 and ran the
 following command:
 
 gcc cube.c -o cube -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lglut -lGLU
 -lGL -lX11 
 
 which compiles correctly (thanks to some assistance from your mailing
 list archives). 
 
 When I type
 
 ./cube
 
 I get a black rectangle with no picture (and in particular no
 cube) and no error messages.  I can click the shell window and press
 CTRL-C to get out. 
 
 I've checked the FAQ, the user guide, and the archives (which
 did give me some help), but I can't get past this point.  As
 already mentioned, I know this program works on
 Solaris/gcc/Mesa, so I'm wondering if there is a problem with
 my cygwin installation, libraries, or commands.
 
 I'm running the latest version of the Cygwin system as far as
 I can tell on Windows XP SP2.

as info - i dl'd cube.c, pasted your compile command above, called
./cube -- all worked as expected.
do you have any cygwin precompiled x binaries available ( xclock??? ),
if you call xclock, what is the result?

 me to uncomment if I wanted to change colours. Does anyone
 know for sure how to change colours IN CYGWIN, because the
 general UNIX techniques don't seem to be working?
 
 Thanks in advance,

If that doesn't work, you can always setup a script/shortcut and
explicitly set -fg and -bg

RE: rxvt 2.7.10-6: bash Control-C exits all backgrounded children rxvt processes as well as foreground process/command

2005-06-27 Thread Reid Thompson
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 I have some wrappers to invoke a telnet or an ssh within an
 rxvt window so that I can label it with the host I'm
 connecting to.  I love rxvt because it has real vt emulation,
 and also gives me X-like middle mouse cut and paste
 operations that I'm used to from my Sun environment, but all
 without the overhead of running X.  However, a really
 annoying and quite hazardous artifact of rxvt in cygwin is
 that it will grab the control-Cs sent from the parent bash
 session and close down.  Unfortunately, pings, by default are
 unlimited in iteration and so must be killed when you're done
 with it and also, I'm in the habit of using control-C to quit
 a command line in progress to get back to a prompt.
 
 Unless I remember to to start a new bash window to do
 anything where I might send a Control-C, I end up clobbering
 the 20 odd telnet/ssh sessions I have up, some of which could
 contain important processes that are difficult to recover from being
 terminated. 
 
 Any advice on
 
 1)  Whether this is an issue with bash or rxvt or both?
 2)  Any workarounds i.e.- application flags for rxvt or bash
 that I can code in to avoid this behavior.
 
 Thanks in advance.

 Typical Unix-head response (Read the whole book...). There
 is nothing
 in the FAQ that deals with this problem. However, perusing
 the Cygwin/X
 installation instructions, under the section on logging on to remote
 clients, I noticed the suggested ssh command: ssh -Y -l username
 hostdomain. I checked to see what our PC guy had set me up with under
 the alias he had given me: ssh -X -l myname $1. Changing -X
 to -Y made
 all the difference and solved the problem. Returning to the
 FAQ, there
 is a question X forwarding does not work does not work with OpenSSH
 under Cygwin in which the answer I needed is embedded as an
 afterthought. Suggestion: Add to the FAQ a question specifically
 mentioning the symptoms I described.

What browser are you using -- when i clicked on the link provided, my
browser opened up with the following at the top of the browser page(i.e.
my browser opened with the page scrolled to the correct location):

5. Remote connections

5.1. X11Forwarding does not work with OpenSSH under Cygwin

A1:

OpenSSH 3.8 enables untrusted X11 forwarding by default when connecting
to an ssh server that supports untrusted X11Forwarding. Most ssh servers
for GNU/Linux are versions of OpenSSH that do support untrusted
X11Forwarding, so using OpenSSH 3.8 from Cygwin will result in a
connection that uses untrusted X11Forwarding by default. You will
quickly notice that this is the case if most of your X applications are
now killed when you try to copy and paste or if xdpyinfo returns only a
fraction of the supported extensions that it does if run locally.

It is easiest to just override untrusted X11Forwarding by passing -Y to
ssh in place of -X. The -Y does the same thing as -X, but it enables
trusted X11Forwarding for the current connection.


Which is exactly the answer you were looking for

 That's strange,  I think the command ls comes in the
 coreutils package and that is one of the default installed
 packages... so, unless you unselected it it, you should have it.
 
 Can you give at hand a bassic comand syntax to test the insatllation?
 Thanks, Maggy
 
 Try:
 
 cygcheck -c coreutils
 
 the result normally is something like this:
 
 Cygwin Package Information
 Package  VersionStatus
 coreutils5.3.0-5OK
 
 if you don't have this package run setup.exe again, this time
 make sure that the default packages are installed.  The
 default packages are automatically selected to be installed. --

 How can I tell the bash shell about it? I am used to the

 I still have the following problems :

  Just one possibility.  It might be the same problem, or it might
 not. 
 
  Start a bash shell.  Unless your install is really badly damaged,
 this should still work. 
 
  cd into /etc/postinstall.
 
  Is there a file there called d.sh?  If so, that's going to have
 been causing setup to crash when it tries to handle it.  Execute it
 directly (enter ./d.sh), then rename it with mv d.sh d.sh.done.
 
  After that setup should be able to complete.
 
  In fact, if even your bash shell won't work, use a dos prompt to
 rename it, then you can run it manually after your setup has
 completed by using . /etc/postinstall/d.sh.done

 (This may or may not be related to your issue...) I also noticed on
 the last update I did that some/all of the packages for ?LaTex? were
 updated -- and that the post-install script (post-texmf.sh) took a
 VERY long time to complete --- i.e. system looked like it was hung,
 but was actually ?building? a lot of postinstall stuff.  This was on
 a slower processor machine ~400mhz -- WAG is it took about 8-10
 minutes.  I kept thinking setup was hung -- ended up cancelling it
 and running post-texmf.sh by hand ( I also had to comment out line

yes - again, not sure if this is your problem, but, the
postinstall-texmf.sh ends up generating a number of sh.exe processes and
a kepswich??? process, etc.  Look in your /etc/postinsall directory,
find the scripts that have not been moved to .done, and run them
manually one at a time til you find out which one is causing you the
problem -- then try to determine why that script is causing an issue.
