man pages

Hi, why are the man page names abbreviated? e.g. instead of typeing 'man XCreateWindow', I have to do 'man XCreWin' Or is there something wrong in my installation? thanks! Kris Thielemans (kris.thielemans at ic.ac.uk) Imaging Research Solutions Ltd Cyclotron Building Hammersmith Hospital Du

remote xemacs and selection problem (using XWin -clipboard)

, the problem reappears. The problem does not occur in xemacs -nw, so it is definitely X related. I'm running xemacs 21.4 on debian if that matters. (I'm using ssh -X remote) $ cygcheck -c XFree86-xserv Cygwin Package Information Package Version XFree86-xserv4.3.0-5 Kris

xterm -ls -e

within an existing xterm/bash session. Typing xterm -ls -e /usr/bin/bash does not read the profile, while xterm -ls does. So, I suspect an xterm problem. I'm using NT 4.0 sp6a and a cygwin setup of 30th of August (i.e. before the 64 bit stuff). Kris Thielemans (kris.thielemans at imperial.ac.uk

RE: problem resizing tunneled xterm

Maybe the local xterm is newer and already contains a fix for this problem. I can't think of a different reason why the remote xterm would behave different. ok. the debian xterm I'm using is version XFree86 4.2.0(165), while the cygwin is XFree86 4.4(185). Not sure if I can update this

everything (saying something along the lines of refusing connection from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0 which was my current IP number). I thought this might have happened because my IP number changed from when I started the server, but I haven't been able to reproduce this. Thanks for all the effort! Kris Thielemans

RE: problem resizing tunneled xterm

Hi, further on this. I now have the same behaviour on a local xterm (on an XP SP1 machine running xorg Xwin 6.6.0.0-8, rest is latest cygwin). The funny thing is that it happens in one xterm only, and I cannot reproduce it in others... In fact, I don't think I resized that xterm yet (started it

Thanks Alexander try removing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb.old-1 and recreate the link ln -sf /etc/X11/xkb /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb ok. that maybe happened because of an aborted installation or so. I did that, restarted the X server, and now it recognises my keyboard without having to explicitly

RE: problem resizing tunneled xterm

Hi Thomas, Well, on the local xterm, I didn't ssh, su, login or whatever. It's just a local terminal. However, typing 'resize' indeed solves the problem. Thanks for the help! Kris I now have the same behaviour on a local xterm (on an XP SP1 machine running xorg Xwin 6.6.0.0-8, rest is

RE: problem resizing tunneled xterm

Well, on the local xterm, I didn't ssh, su, login or whatever. It's just a local terminal. However, typing 'resize' indeed solves the problem. Thanks for the help! a final note. 'resize' works around the problem on the local (i.e. cygwin) terminal, but not for an xterm on my debian system.

bash command line not visible

- WM_DRAWCLIPBOARD - Nested calls detected. Bailing. - but I don't know if that's related. Of course, I'm not sure if this is a bug in XWin (could it be the readline library maybe?). If I can make this happen again, I'll let you know. Kris Thielemans (kris.thielemans at imperial.ac.uk

RE: XWin and multiple users

Hi I started a thread on this a few months ago. Some mail-archive searching would help you. Unless you want to use Fast-User-Switching (FUS), the solution is to exit XWin before you log out ( a good idea in any case), e.g. by double cliking the X icon in your task bar. If you do need FUS,

RE: XWin and multiple users

Just for the record: another solution is to make /tmp a user mount, and have it in a different location for each user. That has other connotations, presumably, but I thought I'd mention it here for completeness. I seem to remember that user mounts are ignored by services. As sshd

Problem with xterm menu displaying too small

Hi On one of the PCs that I use, I have a problem that the menu that xterm displays if you control-click (left,middle or right), e.g. to change the font-size, is too small. It shows only 2 lines, and not all characters. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks Kris PS: I'm pretty up-to-date with
