Clarification: This isn't a problem on Windows Vista Beta 2, it is
a problem *with* Windows Vista Beta 2.

I'll of course be reporting the problem to Microsoft as well, since
nothing the program does should cause a crash.



Bingo!  That's Chris' point.



Could have sworn the Cygwin page stated "We don't support beta software"
Depending on the version, SFU is supposed to be on there.
It has posix support.
This learned while playing with Windows XP SP 2 with SFU.

David, What you mentioned on the cygwin mailing, the dll is the xorg dll.
Go ahead and install xorg now. It will be OK. Trust me.
I just installed cygwin and xorg this morning, and its been working ever 
since.
I installed cygwin first, and then xorg. I download both from the net, 
simply installing from the net.
I have ADSL, and a very fast connection (3.00 Mb per second, although 
the ftp site I use only sends at 300 Kb per second.)
The net is slow to me, because of the speed of my net connection.
Its not me. I have a connection that is made for playing games, though i 
use it to download GPL software and other software.
Another thing I did yesterday, was installing cygwin and xorg 
seperately, from a local directory, and that worked too.
Its installing both at the same time that causes problems.
Its not my software. Wednesday, I tried barebones with nothing but 
Office 2000. Same problems. I was not running Zone Alarm or Defender Pro 
Antispy. So the problem is setup.
The error I got yesterday was that it was opening too many files (setup) 
and not closing them.
Too many files open. I sent in my cygcheck.out. And reset the computer 
this morning.
Had to reload all my software (not much, just my DVD writer, PVR, and 
some other software)
I installed cygwin in two stages and started work on compiling GCC 3.4.3 
and Timidity.
I plan on comipiling a cygwin only X based timidity. I'll put it on my 
website.
I'm counting on the user to get his/her own soundfount because my upload 
limit at Yahoo is 5  megabytes, and the smallest soundfont I found is 8 mb.
There are plenty of soundfonts.
The X of timiidty will look great under Xorg.
Its going to use Xaw3d.
Yes, I found a use for the widgets. I've built the X version of Timidity 
before.
Won't take long to compile it.

It can't get past the update_info now.
Something has happened to setup. Either that, or Cygwin is bigger now

I know they have been working on. I see it in the CVS logs every day.

Igor, it was grabbing the wrong packages from Xfree.
It was grabbing full packages, xfree-bin comes to mind, as that was the only

not sure if this is the right mailing list:

Hi,
I am appreciating you sharing your input and experience regarding the
following questions.
I am currently using Microsoft telnet server and then execute cygwin.bat to
start bash to build applications within cygwin.
so, I am telneting INTO the Windows2003 server.
Since this kind of remote access results in messy output due to
dtterm/telnet and bash settings for which I have not found a solution yet, I
am writing to you.
I am looking for a solution to un-screwup bash via Microsoft windows telnet
server or other products.

Which LF/CR and other settings enable proper output?

I have also tried to use ReflexionX to get into the Windows2003 server, with
no result.

Locally (sitting directly at the Windows2003 server) I can either start
normal bash shell or start rxvt, but that window doesn't get thru
to my other PC (at home or work). 

does anyone know if Interix telnet server (from Microsoft services for Unix)
workes better with bash?

thanks in advance

I set up webpage so I can contribute to the progect.
And I will. I have to find some soundfonts small enough to distribute with
Timidity.
I wanted to also contribute Rosegarden. It requires KDE and Xorg.
I will try again in a minute here, without xorg, and then install xorg.
Sorry. I'm used to installing it all at once, not in pieces.

In a different posting it was said that it is the fontserver package,
this is a different package.  How should we debug this problem without
correct information?

This is the first posting I see about this issue where I read a detailed
description, all the others I read (maybe I have not seen all of them)
were about some readme file, fontserver..., nothing useful.

I just reinstalled this xorg-x11-fscl package now, it works fine on NT4
AND it works fine on XP/SP2.

$ cygcheck -c xorg-x11-fscl
Cygwin Package Information
Package  VersionStatus
xorg-x11-fscl6.8.1.0-2  OK


Why don't you send the output of cygcheck -srv as an attachment?

Maybe your mount table is broken?  Maybe your XP/SP2 is broken?

Why are you not providing more information?  You cannot expect that we
can fix a problem which we don't have, I cannot help debugging it
without even seeing the problem.

Hello Cygwin/XFree gurus,
I've installed cygwin on a WinXP SP2 machine and setup looped forever 
up to the point when it was post-installing the xorg applications.   I 
got 99% done.

This issue has been discussed last week only as started by these 2 
separate threads of messages:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-11/msg00214.html
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-11/msg00253.html
However, the issue has not been resolved.
Then, I uninstalled everything and re-installed cygwin any *without* 
selecting anything from the X11 category.  All went well!

Then, I just thought of installing the X apps manually.
The front page of the cygwin/xfree website says that:
"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."

However, selecting only the xorg-x11-base package would install only:
  /usr/X11R6/share/doc/Cygwin/xorg-x11-base-6.8.1.0.README
  /etc/profile.d/00xorg-x11-base.csh
  /etc/profile.d/00xorg-x11-base.sh
Thus, it would probably be better to update the main page such that it 
wouldn't be misleading.  (Other users might think only xorg-X11-base 
should be installed since that is what the website says.)

The README file contains the needed package dependencies so once could 
follow from that.  However, not everyone reads the README.

You may want to add something like this after the paragraph quoted above:
"Once you have installed the 'xorg-x11-base' package, open your 
/usr/X11R6/share/doc/Cygwin/xorg-x11-base-.README
file and install (via setup) the package dependencies listed there."

In any case, any hints on why installing xorg fails?
Please include me on the cc since I do not subscribe to the 
cygwin/xfree list.  Thanks!

Thanks!
Best Regards,
Carlo

Thanks for the help. I fixed my problem using the FAQ, but I'm not sure
that the FAQ is completely right. The process of unmounting and
reinstalling worked, but the diagnostic info seemed off. When the
problem was occurring, the fonts directory appeared to be mounted
correctly in binary mode, and the files were present.
   

Are you saying that you've applied the FAQ fix (which simply told you to
re-mount the fonts directory in binmode) and it worked for you, even
though "mount" showed the fonts directory *already* mounted in binmode?
BTW, another directory that needs to be binmode-mounted is /tmp, otherwise
some X utilities (e.g., xkb, but there are probably others) won't work.

Why do the fonts have to be mounted in the first place? Setup should
