I really like your signature, do you mind if I borrow/steal it?


Of course!  I actually borrowed it from someone else a few lifetimes

That may be true, but you are prioritizing new users over your existing user
base here. There are many many users out there for which the behaviour as
exhibited by 1.3.2-1 has worked for many years. Behaviour which is now
broken, without even the slightest hint of what is going on! And without a
way to get all the functionality back, even with changes!


I encourage those that want
to smooth the transition to help by trying the solutions so far and
offering feedback on what works well and what doesn't.  This is the way we
can reach a solution that addresses the concerns of both groups.

I would like to help smoothing the transition, however not by forcing
changes down peoples throats and then saying may be when can make this
better some time in the future.

If you want my help, do the right thing, acknowledge that the way of
handling this was wrong. Revert the changes. And solicit the help of the
people on this mailing list to come up with a well designed, well tested,
and well documented solution.


I think your point has been heard.  There's no need to take it to another
Cygwin list or reiterate it here.

I don't think so. You maintain that the approach chosen was the right one. I
think the saying in English is It Takes a Real Man to Admit when He's
Wrong. I am sorry, I can't help you if you keep maintaining nothing went
wrong.


So I'm guessing with your statement above that English isn't your primary
language.  If true, then perhaps that's why you keep saying I've made
statements I didn't make.  You say above that I keep maintaining nothing
went wrong.  And yet you quoted me in your response saying The fact that
the recent changes interfere with previous usage is an issue that needs
attention  If this is really just a language issue, then I
understand but let's try to avoid it in the future.  If not, I have
to again ask you not to attribute statements you make as ones I have made.
If you persist, I won't continue to respond to your thread, assuming there
would be any redeeming value to continuing this thread at this point.

OK, let me try to be as clear as possible:

1. I am not the maintainer of the xinit package.  That is Yaakov Selkowitz.
   You can see this by his announcement of the latest version.
   https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2014-11/msg4.html
   So when I say that how the upgrade of the xinit is handled is up to the
   maintainer, I mean it is up to Yaakov, not me.

2. Yaakov is a very capable and prolific contributor to the Cygwin project
   and has been for many years.  Because of his many hats and tasks, others
   (including me), from time to time, try to help people with issues they
   see, even if the package or packages in question are maintained by
   someone else (and this is the case with xinit as I mentioned above).

3. There have been a number of related issues that have popped up relative
   to the latest version of xinit.  I've listed quite a few entry points to
   the relevant threads.  You'll notice that sometimes Yaakov is answering
   the question raised and other times others are doing it.  That's
   standard operating procedure.

   https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2014-12/msg00057.html

   When I mentioned above that you or others can help out by pointing out
   where the solutions proposed fall short, I wa referring to the solutions
   offered in the threads above, in case it wasn't clear to anyone.  I
   gather from your comments in
   https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2014-12/msg00060.html that the
   only issue that you're aware of that isn't addressed by the solutions
   offered so far is the one about the icon showing in the task bar rather
   than the tray.  If you or others know of other issues, that would be
   useful to report.

4. I realize that you have a policy issue that you raised as a result of
   your xinit upgrade experience, which you posted about in
   https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2014-12/msg00060.html and have
   subsequently taken to the Cygwin main list

This is exactly why I have such hard time convincing people that using
open source software is a good idea: The solution is technically
better, so if it breaks for you I don't care.


Interesting that you should gather that from my comments, since I never
said I don't care nor do I believe that the maintainer doesn't care.
Seems to me like you're attributing perceptions you've gathered from other
people and interactions in your life to me.  Please don't do that.

My point, which I will reiterate again because I think it received
overtones I wasn't conveying the first time, is that the changes made are
indeed needed and beneficial in general.  You can find evidence of this in
the email archives.  Removing the newly introduced changes means these other 
folks that expect Cygwin's X to work like it does on Linux and other

platforms will continue to be surprised, etc.  The fact that the recent
changes interfere with previous usage is an issue that needs attention for
sure but reverting, while the maintainer's call, just trades misbehaviour
in the eyes of one group for that of the other.  And the individual is
always free to revert the package version in the short-term to address
any immediate need.  So with the short-term bases covered, it makes sense
to move forward by looking and going forward.  I encourage those that want
to smooth the transition to help by trying the solutions so far and
offering feedback on what works well and what doesn't.  This is the way we
can reach a solution that addresses the concerns of both groups.

snip


The best, and actually only way to move forward is to revert back to the
behaviour of 1.3.2-1 and rethink this whole approach. Once a good
transition plan is in place the changes can be reapplied. But it is
obvious that I won't find a sympathetic ear to the plight of the user
here, so I will escalate this to the main Cygwin mailing list. Hopefully
people their actually care about user experience.


I think your point has been heard.  There's no need to take it to another
Cygwin list or reiterate it here.  Since the issue is related to the
changes in the xinit package and this is the list for X issues, you have
the right forum if you want to help work towards a smoother transition for
existing users with the xinit package.  The Cygwin main list is really
for everything but X.  Talking about X things there will likely get you
redirected back to this list.

Certainly it is good feedback to know that the issue you were seeing
is related to the new version of xinit.  I would encourage you and others
that see issues with the latest release to report the problems (as you
have) and to try the solutions offered in the cygwin-xfree mailing list
discussions from the last couple of months.  If there are technical
issues with those solutions, they need to be reported as well.  Obviously,
the key thing here is to figure out how to make this transition smoother,
so the more useful feedback there is, the better.  Downgrading may be a
practical short-term solution to the problems you're having at the moment
and that's fine.  But the functionality in the latest release of the xinit 
corrects some long-standing Cygwin incompatibilities with startx, so there's

no benefit to turning back as a strategy.

You will get one lock file for every instance of the server you are running.
To remove the lock files, kill all instances of the server and remove any
remaining lock files.  Then you can start a single session.

2. This list is reserved for Cygwin-X-specific issues.  So if you have

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: libXfont-1.4.8-1 [SECURITY]

2014-05-16 Thread Yaakov (Cygwin/X)
The following packages have been added or updated in the Cygwin 
distribution:


* libXfont1-1.4.8-1
* libXfont-devel-1.4.8-1

libXfont provides the core of the legacy X11 font system, handling the 
index files (fonts.dir, fonts.alias, fonts.scale), the various font file 
formats, and rasterizing them.   It is used by the X servers, the X Font 
Server (xfs), and some font utilities (namely bdftopcf), but should not 
be used by normal X11 clients.  X11 clients access fonts via either the 
new APIs in libXft, or the legacy APIs in libX11.


This update fixes CVE-2014-0209, CVE-2014-0210, and CVE-2014-0211 as 
described here:

Yes, because it seems that they would also have this issue because

Thanks for pointing out this issue.

I think that currently glxgears doesn't work very well with the combination of
indirect rendering and vsync-limited buffer swapping, so you are getting 30
fps, but they aren't useful frames.


This should be fixed in mesa-demos-8.1.0-2.

Re: Advice on getting window manager, file manager and simple text editor to work

I'm trying to recreate the look and feel of a standard Unix X Windows system
 on my PC using Cygwin (something resembling the old CDE, or Redhat in 

functionality).


I've got Cygwin with X11 and openbox running, but a few problems stubbornly
unresolved:

Openbox doesn't have a dock so if you minimize a window it's just gone.


Openbox is only a window manager, so that is to be expected.


There are suggestions to solve this problem with a toolbar application called
tint2, however the latter doesn't build successfully on my Cygwin installation
(Errors in cmake about compilers not working when in fact they are working just
fine).


As far as standalone panels go, tint2 is available in Ports (built 
OOTB), as is fbpanel (my personal favourite).



Another major item is some kind of file manager to run inside the Openbox root
window.  Although I've installed the KDE and Gnome items available through 
cygwin
setup-x86_64.exe, none of the file managers such as Nautilus, Thunar, KDE file
manager etc. appear to be part of those installations.


dolphin, gentoo (the file manager, not the Linux distro), 
gnome-commander, mate-file-manager (aka Caja), nautilus, pcmanfm, 
Thunar, and xfe are all available in Ports.



I tried downloading a version of rox (rox-2.1.2-cygwin.tar.bz2) but installation
failed (gcc apparently detects multiple incompatible declarations in part of the
code).


Like most X11 desktops, a fairly complete ROX environment is also 
available in Ports.



Finally, I'd like a simple editor.  Have installed nedit, but get 'UTF8 locale 
not
supported' followed by Segmentation fault when I execute it.


The message is harmless but otherwise it WFM.

This is a separate issue, but note that it is just a warning; the

correct way to fix this would be to change string(\n~^Z) to 
string(\n~)string(0x1a), but I haven't tested this.

I just fired up a 64-bit Ubuntu VM I had laying around, installed firefox,
and tunneled it to cygwin64/X on my win7-64 machine. X isn't even visible in
the task manager when I sort descending by PF delta, CPU, or memory. This in
spite of having half a dozen tabs with content (including ads, an html5
game, and a youtube video playing).

Opening a couple dozen more empty tabs brought PFdelta up to the ~7k range,
but the rate dropped back to ~0 as soon as the dust settled. Typing remains
fully responsive, and I'm officially out of ideas.


Ryan


That is the kind of responsiveness I expect, and what other people
I've discussed this with experience, which is why I think it is
something unusual in my setup or environment...  Unfortunately, I'm
currently unable to find it myself, and can reliably reproduce the
issue even in a virgin environment.

So far, the only common factors (that I see) across each of these has
been my Linux host, (CentOS 5.8 at present) and my various
tabs/accounts.  However, I am at a complete loss as to even guess at
how these could affect page faulting on the X server.

For reference: on the Linux host, when the Windows host is
experiencing these page faults, the Linux host is reporting 20-30% CPU
usage overall, no swap usage.


Any chance of finding or setting up an alternate host to test against?

Yes.  The fix was to add the following for the Cygwin build, very early
in main():

   setenv (G_SLICE, always-malloc, 1);

I don't know why this no longer works.  Maybe Glib now does its memory
management initialization before emacs's main() is entered.


Exactly; in glib-2.36, g_type_init has been moved to a ctor, which is 
automatically called before main(); hence, this setenv is too late now. 
 Mozilla software is also affected by this, see:


https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687763
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=833117

and many others.  Firefox et al already use launcher scripts, so adding 
one more line won't be a big deal for them.



Yaakov, is there any chance that you could patch Glib to do the
equivalent of G_SLICE=always-malloc on Cygwin?  This isn't really an
emacs issue.  It would affect any GTK application that provides its own
malloc rather than using Cygwin's malloc.  (But emacs is probably the
only such application in the distro.)


Given that the only programs which seem to be *practically* affected by 
this is our Emacs, and Firefox/Thunderbird/etc. (which we don't have 
yet), and using G_SLICE=always-malloc apparently affects performance, I 
don't think that would be an appropriate solution.


For now, I think you'll have to add a wrapper script.

I'd recommend updating to the current versions for the packages you're

latest versions you have.  Cygwin is now at version 1.7.20-1 and
the xorg-server package is currently at version 1.14.2-1

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: python*-sip, python*-pyqt4, qscintilla2

2013-02-11 Thread Cygwin/X
The following packages have been updated for the Cygwin distribution:

*** libqscintilla2_9-2.7-2
*** libqscintilla2-common-2.7-2

*** python3-pyqt4-4.9.6-1
*** python3-pyqt4-qsci-2.7-2
*** python3-sip-4.14.3-1

PyQt is a set of Python bindings for the Qt application framework. The
bindings are implemented as  set of Python modules and contain over 300
classes and over 6,000 functions and methods.

QScintilla is a port to Qt of Neil Hodgson's Scintilla C++ editor
class.  As well as features found in standard text editing components,
Scintilla includes features especially useful when editing and
debugging source code. These include support for syntax styling, error
indicators, code completion and call tips. The selection margin can
contain markers like those used in debuggers to indicate breakpoints
and the current line. Styling choices are more open than with many
editors, allowing the use of proportional fonts, bold and italics,
multiple foreground/background colours and multiple fonts.

These releases were (re)built for Python 2.7.

2013-01-07 Thread Cygwin/X
The following package has been updated for the Cygwin distribution:

*** grace-5.1.23-1

Grace is a WYSIWYG tool to make two-dimensional plots of numerical
data.  Its capabilities are roughly similar to GUI-based programs like
Sigmaplot or Microcal Origin plus script-based tools like Gnuplot or
Genplot. Its strength lies in the fact that it combines the convenience
of a graphical user interface with the power of a scripting language
which enables it to do sophisticated calculations or perform automated
tasks.

This is an update to the latest stable upstream release, built for
Motif 2.3.

Theoretically yes, obsolete packages will eventually be dropped.  But
realistically, the time between now and when this will happen could be

 From what I was able to determine (and please correct me if I am wrong):
 
 - The official FAQ and discussion forums are now incorrect... In
 Cygwin you can only use GLUT with X-Windows, any historic projects
 will no longer work.
 
 - /usr/include/opengl/GL no longer exists (used to have Win32 native
 OpenGL files, including GLUT)
 
 - /usr/include/w32api/GL is the new location for Win32 native OpenGL
 files, but GLUT is no longer supported for Win32 native
 
 - /usr/include/GL still has OpenGL and GLUT header files for X-Windows

Correct on all points.

 - As a workaround, we can still install the obsolete OpenGL package
 from the _obsolete category in Cygwin's setup.exe installer, which
 will provide /usr/include/opengl/GL with Win32 native OpenGL+GLUT

For now, but this is not supported, and there are no guarantees as to
how long it will remain available.

 Also, I am trying to figure out how to resolve this issue going
 forward.

An alternative may be for you to compile freeglut for WGL and use that
instead locally.  If you don't have libGL-devel (Mesa) installed, this
will be straightforward; if you do, you'll need to work
around /usr/include/GL.  I don't anticipate supporting this
configuration within the distro, but it should work for your own
purposes.  The attached .cygport should get you started.

The alternative is to build your application for native Windows, using
the mingw64-*-gcc compilers available in the distro and
mingw64-*-freeglut packages available in Cygwin Ports.

Re: emacs, GSettings, and gtk3

2012-11-26 Thread Yaakov (Cygwin/X)
On Mon, 2012-11-26 at 07:56 -0500, Ken Brown wrote:
 I'm trying to decide whether the benefits of GSettings and gtk3 
 outweigh the annoyances.  I'd like the opinions of emacs users and GNOME 
 experts on this.  Here are the details:
 
 1. If emacs is built using gtk3 and the window geometry is specified on 
 the command line or in ~/.Xdefaults, the following warning appears in 
 the terminal from which emacs was started:
 
 Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_window_parse_geometry() called on a window with no 
 visible children; the window should be set up before 
 gtk_window_parse_geometry() is called.
 
 The warning can safely be ignored but is annoying.

GTK+ warnings aren't uncommon, as GTK+ behaviour gradually changes over
time and programs don't always keep up.  If the program operates
correctly, and upstream says they can be ignored, then I wouldn't worry
about them.

As for choosing between GTK+ 2 vs 3, I would go with the upstream
default.

 2. If emacs is built with GSettings support and is started without a 
 D-Bus daemon running, the following warning is issued:
 
 GLib-WARNING **: In call to g_spawn_sync(), exit status of a child 
 process was requested but SIGCHLD action was set to SIG_IGN and ECHILD 
 was received by waitpid(), so exit status can't be returned. This is a 
 bug in the program calling g_spawn_sync(); either don't request the exit 
 status, or don't set the SIGCHLD action.
 
 In this case there is a simple workaround: Ensure, by a suitable line in 
 ~/.startxwinrc or ~/.bashrc, that a D-Bus daemon is always running 
 before emacs is started.

A D-Bus session daemon is required for most modern desktop software
nowadays, so I wouldn't consider this a setback.

HTH,

 program.  Second, and more importantly, standard error is often lost, 
 for instance for programs started by ~/.startxwinrc.  It could be useful 
 for package maintainers to be able to ask users to send the contents of 
 ~/.xsession-errors.

~/.xsession-errors is a GDM-ism; as we don't use DMs in Cygwin/X, it
would mean implementing it from scratch somewhere else.  Also, a quick
Google search turned up a bunch of bugs about this file continuously
growing to the point of filling the disk partition, which is obviously
unacceptable, nor would it be helpful in the way you propose (think:
strace snippets).  So I would say, probably not.  If you want to see
errors from a particular program, just start it from console, copy and
paste.

This means you failed to install dependencies when you
installed/upgraded fvwm.  You need to rerun setup.exe, this time
choosing to install dependencies on the Resolving Dependencies page.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: motif; Obsoleted: lesstif

2012-11-18 Thread Yaakov (Cygwin/X)
The following packages have been added to the Cygwin distribution:

*** motif-2.3.4-1 (replaces: lesstif)
*** libXm4-2.3.4-1
*** libXm-devel-2.3.4-1

Motif is a freely available source code distribution for the Motif user
interface component toolkit. Motif is built on top of the standard X
Toolkit (Xt) and X11 libraries.

At long last, the (Open)Motif toolkit has been open-sourced (LGPL2.1),
finally allowing its inclusion in the Cygwin distribution.  In doing so,
it replaces lesstif as the provider of mwm(1) and the Motif widget
library (libXm).  Motif also provides numerous improvements over the
lesstif implementation, including support for UTF-8, TrueType fonts, and
JPEG and PNG images.

eight hours a day. It provides intensive support for development in a
wide variety of languages, text processors, and other tools, but at the
same time can be used productively by just about anyone who needs to
edit text.

 FWIW, I have 469 true type fonts in Windows/Fonts.  There are a mixture

 I tried removing those three offenders, just in case, and re-running 
 fc-cache but it still dumped core.
 
 Any ideas?

Fontconfig is WJFFM (Win7 x64, 290 .ttf files in Windows fontdir, none
with spaces).  I suspect you have a corrupt or otherwise incorrect font

from /etc/fonts/fonts.conf?  Can you try to narrow it down further to a

[ANNOUNCEMENT] X11R7.7

2012-07-08 Thread Yaakov (Cygwin/X)
Cygwin/X has been updated to X.Org X11R7.7.


WHAT'S NEW IN X11R7.7?
==

* Over 140 binary packages have been updated, including the latest 
upstream improvements and bug fixes.

* Complex OpenGL apps, such as those based on Clutter, are now quite
usable with the software rasterizer (as used by XWin in desktop mode, or
in multiwindow mode where the native WGL implementation is lacking).

* EGL and OpenVG are now supported.  GLES support is planned for the
near future.

* Xinerama-aware apps should behave correctly in -multiplemonitor mode.

* The modularized Xorg server is available for use with the
xf86-video-dummy and xf86-video-nested drivers in place of Xvfb/Xfake
and Xnest/Xephyr, respectively.

* Development of the 3D Athena widgets library (libXaw3d) has been taken
over by X.Org, adding many improvements.

* The transset utility has been added.

* X API documentation includes cross-reference links to other modules.


FURTHER DEVELOPMENT
===

Development of Cygwin/X is primarily focused on the XWin server; most
other components are extremely stable and work OOTB.  Anyone who
despaired of touching the old monolithic tree will find things much 
easier with modular packages.  If you want to see XWin stay current and 
add new features, then WE NEED YOU.  Here are some of the projects that 
could be worked on:

* Implement hardware-accelerated AIGLX support in desktop mode.
* Implement Extended Window Manager Hints in multiwindow mode.
* Implement the Composite extension in multiwindow mode.
* Implement the XVideo extension.
* Implement newest XRandR protocol.


FEEDBACK


All comments, questions, bug reports, patches, discussion, etc. should
take place on the cygwin-xfree list.


CREDITS
===

Jon Turney for continuing to develop xorg-server, pushing our existing
patches upstream, and contributing many new patches to this release.

Numerous users for their bug reports and patches during the latest
development cycle, including:

Ken Brown
Colin Harrison

The question remains, why nedit looks at *those* fonts. I'm perfectly

Fonts are also required for rendering the interface (menus and dialog

Re: libqt3-devel uic.exe segmentation fault

I have problems with uic.exe compiler which is included to libqt3-devel

First off, are you *absolutely* certain you want to be using qt3 and not 
qt4?  Qt3 is obsolete and no longer supported upstream.



When I run it with or without parameters I always get segmentation fault
message.


It probably needs to be rebuilt with gcc-4.5, but unless you can 
convince me of a *really* good reason to keep it, I'll be removing it 
from the distro soon.

I don't know how they got there. They are not in my normal path.
Somehow my procedure to run cygcheck must have injected them.
I add them in neither .bash_profile nor .bashrc.


Don't worry about the duplicated paths.  I'm saying get rid of the

Sorry, but I have none.
My understanding is that the report was only the result of the duplicated
paths.
Running cygcheck again doesn't find duplicated DLLs.

Re: Problems with emacs built against gtk3

On 2012-04-04 09:15, Ken Brown wrote:

Another option is to use gtk3 but to put the GSETTINGS_BACKEND
workaround into the emacs startup code:

setenv (GSETTINGS_BACKEND, memory, 1);

I've been testing this, and it seems to work (but I won't be completely
confident until I've had emacs running for a day or so). Do you see any
downside?


This is intended solely for testing and debugging.  Settings will not be 
saved from one invocation to the next, so that's a pretty big downside.

Now that gvfs is available, I've built the latest emacs-24 pretest
against gtk3 and removed the GSETTINGS_BACKEND=memory setting, but I
still have the same problem. If I start emacs and then just walk away
from it, after a while it will die with a segfault. (It may take an hour
or more before this happens.)


And with gtk2?


I've got a backtrace (attached), but it may not be useful because of
optimization.


I don't see anything in the backtrace which indicates that this is 
gtk3-related; I would guess it is a bug in either cygwin or emacs.

I regularly run the entire GNOME desktop for hours (if not days) on end, 
so I really don't think that this is a bug in dconf or gvfs.



I'll probably just have to stick with gtk2 for the next emacs release.


That's fine; gtk2 isn't going anywhere for a while.

Re: X server crash when running texworks

2012-04-02 Thread Yaakov (Cygwin/X)

On 2012-04-02 16:14, Ken Brown wrote:

Much earlier in the thread I mentioned a warning QFileSystemWatcher:
failed to add paths: /home/kbrown. I've looked at the QtCore sources,
and that warning is generated by the function
QFileSystemWatcher::addPaths, in corelib/io/qfilesystemwatcher.cpp. If
I'm understanding the code correctly, that function tries to use a
native (system-specific) FileSystemWatcherEngine if possible. The
function QFileSystemWatcherPrivate::createNativeEngine in the same file
creates native engines on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS, and Symbian,
but not on Cygwin.


Correct, as the Windows backend won't work OOTB with *NIX filesystem, 
and we don't support any of the other native backends.



I don't know if it's worth pursuing this, but the failure of
FileSystemWatcher could conceivably be the problem here. Do you know
enough about Qt to have any ideas about how to proceed? Or Yaakov?


The only plausible solutions would be to either:

* implement inotify[1] in Cygwin on top of Windows' Directory Change 
Notification APIs[2] (which would benefit a number of packages);


* OR implement a FAM/Gamin-based QFileSystemWatcher backend.
