Question on x3270 under 64bit cygwin/X
I currently use x3270 as packaged with the 32 bit cygwin on several Win-XP computers. We are now migrating those computers to Win-7 boxes. The 64 bit cygwin does not contain the x3270 package. (Also, the 32 bit package is way out of date.) I emailed the original person who packaged this software for cygwin, but received no response. Is there someone willing to repackage the x3270 software for 64 bit cygwin? Is there someone willing to guide me (off-list) to get the latest version of x3270 running under cygwin 64? -- Tony T -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
Re: Question on x3270 under 64bit cygwin/X
Thigpen, I see two options available to you for an immediate solution. Either recompile the package yourself from source targeted at x64 or simply continue using the cygwin-32 and its packages. Do you have some pressing requirement to use the cygwin-64? Also, I believe this question would be more appropriate for the main cygwin mailing list, as your question isn't directly related to cygwin/x. Matt D.

quick cygwin X question
Hi If I install xorg-server and xinit and an X window appears when I do startxwin that I can use to launch to a terminal, should that be all I need to install besides all of the xfce/lxde packages? For instance, I do $startxwin and the X window pops up. I then type in startlxde into the term and the autostart program appears in the same terminal. I had lynx browser selected as an autostart program for lxde. I don't know why lynx appears in the same window as the terminal. I can't get to a desktop in either xfce and lxde. I guess my question is just in general. I thought all I had to do is get x window working and then the lxde and xfce programs would take care of the rest. Maybe I am missing a requirement? thanks -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

The files that go in /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 on Mandriva, for instance? To address some of the questions from your previous email: xfs doesn't magically make fonts scalable, or know how to read types of font that the X server itself doesn't (now). So there is no reason whatsoever to use a local xfs. The same result can be achieved (better), simply by adding the same directories to the X server's fontpath. There are also some technical difficulties in building xfs for cygwin, due to libXfont's widespread use of weak symbols. Furthermore, core (server) fonts are a legacy feature. All modern toolkits use Xft (client) fonts. (See [1]) For all of these reasons, we don't provide an xfs. So I tried copying the files from Mandriva over and dropping them into the Cygwin distro. That actually worked, in that the fonts then appeared and they looked good on the screen. Looks like xfs isn't needed. However, there was a problem with the naming conventions. This one works on the Mandriva X11 server -*-courier-medium-r-normal--17-120-*-*-*-iso8859-1 but it doesn't work on the Cygwin X11 server. The file name there must be -*-courier-medium-r-normal--17-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-13 The problem seems to be that the font naming convention is slightly different. There are 3 fields between 120 and iso8859 on the Mandriva machine, but 4 on Cygwin/X. Change in the font naming conventions between different Xorg versions??? These names should be XLFDs (X logical font descriptions [1]). The first one doesn't look well-formed as it only has 13 fields. Which Cygwin package would install /usr/share/fonts/Type1 properly? I think the fonts we talking about are the so-called 'URW fonts', donated by the URW foundry to ghostscript. These are packaged with ghostscript on cygwin, but it doesn't install them in a place where they can be shared with other uses. All other things being equal, it would be nice to have these fonts available to X, although I don't know if it would be better to pick a some other fonts to be aliased as scalable versions of courier etc. Also, some investigation would be needed to discover if we should adjust the ghostscript-fonts-std package, or make a separate package for these fonts for the X server. We would also need to make or obtain a suitable fonts.alias to map the font names to the standard postscript font names (e.g. so URW nimbus mono l can be accessed by the name courier) [1] http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6/doc/xorg-docs/fonts/fonts.html [2] http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6/doc/xorg-docs/specs/XLFD/xlfd.html -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
font question, xfs locally on cygwin?
Short version: Can somebody please point me to instructions for setting up xfs on Cygwin/X? I especially need to know how to set this up so that Courier fonts work properly for sizes for which there is no corresponding pcf file. Is xfs really needed, or is putting in the right libfreetype bits and pieces enough? The files that go in /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 on Mandriva, for instance? Long version: Two machines both running Xorg, one is an old Mandriva 2008.0 machine with Xorg 7.2 on the console, and the other is a Cygwin machine using whatever Xorg version is current on Cygwin/X. In nedit they handle the following font differently: -*-courier-medium-r-normal--17-120-*-*-*-iso8859-1 That works fine on the Mandriva machine X11 server, but uses some other font on the Cygwin X11 server (in both cases the Nedit client is on the Mandriva machine). I don't know what font is actually being used, but it isn't fixed (no error messages relating to this show up in the X.0.log file). I looked through the fonts on the Mandriva machine and it does not actually have a 17 point Courier font in the 75dpi directory, so it is coming up with that size on the fly, presumably through xfs, which is running there. Change to 14 pt (for which a pcf font file exists) then it is fixed width. Unfortunately that font is much too small on the monitor in question. Seems like font use on the Mandriva server is through xfs, but Cygwin/X client cannot use it, and isn't running its own copy. The main server has in /usr/share/fonts: 100dpi/ 75dpi/ cyrillic/ default/ fluxbox-artwiz-fonts/ misc/ OTF/ Speedo/ ttf/ TTF/ Type1/ whereas the Cygwin variant has only the first two, and only the 75dpi has any fonts in it. Presumably the Cygwin X11 server could be aimed at the Mandriva xfs, but for reasons I don't want to go into here it would be much better if the Cygwin machine ran its own xfs. How is this done? (Pointer to instructions?) Also, which part of xfs is coming up with the nice 17 point courier? What else, if anything, needs to be added to get that functionality? Or is xfs irrelevant and this is done through libfreetype? The Mandriva machine definitely loads that, and the Cygwin does not. Moreover on the Mandriva machine there is a /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/adobestd35/ directory with a .dir file that does include a Courier entry.

Dear Csaba -- I appreciate your effort to be helpful. In this case I already know how to change an icon that is directly associated with a program file or shortcut. However, these programs do not seem to have an icon associated in the usual way, and even their normal icon is not what cygwin-xfree displays in the toolbar. For example, xemacs from the Windows dialog does not show any icon or offer a way to set one. The shortcut to it that is in the Cygwin X menu does associate an icon and allow you to change it, but the icon that is in the toolbar is not one of the ones offered. The startxwin/.XWinrc mechanisms are looking somewhere else, and I was asking where that is. Even the default files that build the menus and such do not mention the xemacs and xpdf icons that I actually see ...

If I turn off the Logitech MB2 mapping to double click, then MB2 pastes, but that won't do. The -emulate3buttons option should be doing precisely what you want; it emulates a middle-mouse button press when the left and right mouse buttons are pressed 'near simultaneously' (i.e. within the timeout specified). This works for me. How are you supplying -emulate3buttons to the server? Remember you will need -clipboard as well if you are trying to paste something copied from a Windows window The other possibility is perhaps that the Logitech mouse software you have installed is somehow interfering with the timing of mouse events to prevent -emulate3buttons working, although I can't quite imagine how. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

So subsequent server restarts weren't taking because the first server invocation was still running. Problem solved.

It seems that the (new for Cygwin 1.7) getifaddr() function can return
interfaces with IFF_BROADCAST IFF_UP set, but no broadcast address, which
the X server assumes never happens
I was going to say that this sounds wrong but I see interfaces on my
linux box which have no broadcast addresses but still have IFF_BROADCAST
set.
Corinna, what do you think?
Thanks for nudging me by PM. I didn't notice this question, sorry.
As for the broadcast address, you *have* to expect that an interface
is broadcast capable and the ifa_broadaddr pointer is NULL. This
is at least true for all IPv6 entries. For IPv4 that shouldn't occur
under Cygwin.

The code in question (before I patched it) looks like this:
#if defined(IPv6) defined(AF_INET6)
if (family == FamilyInternet6)
/* IPv6 doesn't support broadcasting, so we drop out here */
continue;
#endif
if ((ifr-ifa_flags IFF_BROADCAST)
(ifr-ifa_flags IFF_UP))
broad_addr = *ifr-ifa_broadaddr;
else
continue;
XdmcpRegisterBroadcastAddress((struct sockaddr_in *)
broad_addr);
Staring at the code a bit, I think this means we have either an IPv4
interface, or an IPv6 interface with a mapped IPv4 address when the broadcast
address is looked at.

A v4inv6 address would also not have a broadcast info since it's still a
v6 address. For real v4 addresses the broadcast address is not provided
by Windows, but computed from address and netmask by Cygwin, so it's
always available.
However, without the actual interface data I can't tell. Maybe an
`ipconfig /all' sheds some light on this.
Oh, wait. Andy, please build and run the below test app under 1.7 with
$ gcc -o getifaddrs getifaddrs.c
$ ./getifaddrs
and paste the output into your reply, together with the `ipconfig /all'
output.

Mouse chording question
Hello. I would like to migrate from eXceed to Cygwin for the performance improvement, but there is a feature I currently have that I have not figured out in Cygwin yet. I want MB1+MB3 to generate paste (as in MB2). Bear with me. I have a Logitech 3-button mouse on Windows XP and the Logitech Windows software that maps MB2 to double click - this happens for XP windows and X windows alike. So in order to paste with the mouse in the X windows, I tell eXceed to map the MB1+MB3 chord to MB2. This works; I can paste with that chord. But I have not been able to do this with Cygwin yet. I tried -emulate3buttons with and without a timeout argument, and it has no effect (tried all combinations of mouse buttons). If I turn off the Logitech MB2 mapping to double click, then MB2 pastes, but that won't do. This may seem like a small thing, but my fingers are used to these patterns and I use them many hundreds of times a day. Shift+Insert does paste in Cygwin, but I don't want to use keyboard only for paste - in a pinch I might be relearn to do with Shift+MB1 or Ctrl+MB3 for paste, say. Should I be looking more closely at xmodmap? Any suggestions? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

I'd guess this means you have a network interface with a slightly unusual

applied which should avoid this crash, perhaps you could try

Trying to get the lastest X to run on Cygwin 1-7 but only seem to be able
to
get a core dump the log:
Firstly, thanks very much for trying it out and reporting the problem.
XWin was started with the following command line:
/usr/bin/XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error
ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens
winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1680 h 1050
winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning
_XSERVTransSocketCreateListener: failed to bind listener
_XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for inet6
When I run the commands manually from the startxwin.bat I get a
Segmentation
Fault (core dumped)
IP6 is installed on a Vista32 OS but I have no clue on how to further
diagnose the problem
I don't believe IPv6 is the cause of the problem you are seeing, this just
happens to be the last line of output written.
You could test this by adding '-nolisten inet6' to the command line used to
start the X server.
All software used is the latest as of today
Any suggestions welcome
If the suggestion above fails, I'd like your help to get a backtrace, if you
are willing:
1. Download ftp://cygwin.com/pub/cygwinx/XWin.20090628173519.exe.bz2
(this is a build of the 1.6.0.0-1 X server but with debugging symbols
unstripped)
2. bunzip2 XWin.20090628173519.exe.bz2 to uncompress it
3. gdb --args ./XWin.20090628173519.exe -multiwindow -clipboard -logverbose
3
(you may need to install the gdb package)
4 wait for the '(gdb)' prompt, type 'r'
5. wait for the segmentation fault to occur, you should get another '(gdb)'
prompt, bt full
6. post the output

Jon,
Thanks for your help
Yes your correct the IP6 had nothing to do with the problem ..(again thanks)
Well, I think perhaps the situation is a bit more complex that that :-)
Here is the backtrace requested
Thanks very much, very helpful.
I wonder if I might trouble you to try that all again (you may start from step
3), also add trying 'p *ifr' at the '(gdb)' prompt...

[1.7] Question - Should X11 apps work?
I've been trying out cygwin 1.7, and I'm wondering if the X server and/or libraries will have to be rebuilt before I can expect them to cooperate with 1.7. My question is prompted by some problems with emacs under 1.7 that I reported elsewhere (http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-12/msg00261.html). I forgot to mention in that thread that the problems occurred when running emacs under X. I hardly ever use emacs any other way, so it slipped my mind. But I just tried emacs under cygwin 1.7 without X (i.e., by running Cygwin.bat and then running emacs in the resulting window), and the problems don't occur. So maybe it's just too soon to be testing X11 applications under 1.7.

Question about repository structure
Some time ago a second directory structure appeared in Cygwin mirrors. They now have 'release' and 'release-2' folders, along with corresponding 'setup' and 'setup-2' .ini, .bz2, and .sig files. Both appear to contain the same subfolders. The contents of the 'release' subfolders look like all release versions of GNU utilities, both current and archival, going back to 2002. Those in 'release-2' look like only the most current versions. Are my interpretations correct? If so, which does the 'setup.exe' installer use? Can one of those two 'release' folders be deleted to allow the rest to fit on a DVD? --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

Typed cd /cygdrive/c/program\ files/picasa2 to change folder on the server 7. Typed ./picasa2.exe and tried to run picasa to test if X forwarding is working 8. I can see the picasa2.exe running on my sshd server since I can see a process running in the windows task manager on the server. But there is nothing happened in my ssh client end. Do I suppose to see a picasa2 window opened in ssh client end? No. You're running a MS Windows program that knows nothing about X. Cygwin's X server will not magically transform the output of Windows programs into X windows locally or otherwise. 9. Before I started my ssh session, I typed display=localhost:0.0 Export display after I started X server Don't do this. It's not needed and it's not correct. 10. My sshd server and client are both running on XP professional 11. I desparately need to run Rgui on my sshd server from ssh client. I didn’t install X server on the computer running sshd server. Do I miss something? Or I am totally wrong. My goal is to run windows application on the sshd server from every ssh client (both sshd server and ssh client installed XP). See above. 12. I replaced “#X11forward no” with “X11forward yes” in the file sshd_config on sshd server. But I didn’t revise ssh_config on the ssh client machine since I cannot find the file ssh_config under /etc/ folder. Please give me some helps. And thank everybody who replyed my email before. I think you're looking at the wrong software to solve your problem. If you just want to run Windows programs on other machines, you can always try connecting to a shared drive on the server and running the installed program from the client. But you're not going to find Cygwin X helps you do this. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.

Multiple Session Question
Hello, I've got cygwin working well via SSH to single host, single window. I connect via SSH, and run startkde - I get the KDE desktop in one single window. Works great! How do I connect to a second machine at the same time. See below for details. -Duane. For example: I login as my self - with ssh a remote session And I login as another person to the same machine. In my case, I have two accounts: A development account And A Test account. Likewise, I have this situation: I login to Machine1 - and it works. I login to Machine2 - and it works. Problem: I can only have 1 connection to 1 machine at a time. Both should have separate window/display. I have done this with commercial X11 packages, but not CygwinX. This does not seem to work, and I can't seem to find in the user docs any thing that reasonably describes some things. (1) Yes, I have tried using a different display, ie: 127.0.0.1:0.0 And 127.0.0.1:1.0 That does not work when I have 2 sessions. The two displays work - independent of each other (2) I'm not sure what is going on with the /tmp/.X11-unix/dir And can't find docs for it - I suspect it is part of the problem. (3) I'm not sure what the --screen options do for the Xwin program. The script I to start the session (via SSH and public keys) is below, The difference between the two is WHO and DISPLAY.

RE: [Fwd: Re: Multiple Session Question]
=
Holger Krull You will need Xwin :1 for the second and
Xwin :2 for the third session and so on.
That's the solution - I forgot - is the same way on linux.
Thank you very much, works *GREAT*
For those reading this (via a search engine), if it is not specified, the
default is :0 Which is Display 0,
Below is a resulting template script that works very nicely, for me, with
some limitations.
I could - via additional shell tricks, do the following:
1) In the directory: /tmp/.X11-unix/ are unix ?sockets?
(visible only under CYGWIN not via windows).
In my case, right now, I have these two files:
/tmp/.X11-unix/X0
And /tmp/.X11-unix/X2
Thus right now, Display 0, and 2 are active, yours may be different.
2) I could write shellscript stuff that finds a free display number
And uses that number - instead of hard coding the display number.
I'll leave that as an exercise for you, the reader.
3) Also - one must deal with cleanup of stale files laying around.
in some clean and graceful way.
=
Holger Krull But i wonder how your first connect works anyway, have you
setup ssh tunneling somewhere?
Yes, I have, via my ~/.ssh/config file - I have lots of things setup
Including X-11 forwarding, my identity file, etc. That way I do not have to
re-specify a zillion options everyplace I script SSH.
Again, for those reading this via a search engine, my ssh_config file looks
sort of like this I have many accounts, in this example I use R and X. Both
Accounts have different user names.
I could - specify -X, -L, -I, and -lots-of-options on every command line
everywhere I use SSH --yuck, and --double-yuck Or - I can use an SSH config
file (which hides/collects that sort of stuff in one nice little file.
Blow is an example short snippit of an ssh config file (maybe with typos), I
can type: 'ssh rrr' or 'ssh xxx' and it works just fine, see man
ssh_config for more details I could add other host entries - like: ssh
plant1 or ssh plant2 or ssh home and, if needed, with the cygwinX
shellscript (and a fat pipe) run X sessions from anywhere in the world.
File: ~/.ssh/config

apologies for my poor English) I just installed cygwin.
I'm trying to compile a program under cygwin, but I got some errors.
This is the program :

#include Xm/Label.h /* Motif Label Widget */
main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char **argv;

/* Initialize the Xt Intrinsics */
topLevel = XtVaAppInitialize(
app_context, /* Application context */
XHello, /* Application class */
NULL, 0,/* command line option list */
argc, argv,/* command line args */
NULL, /* for missing app-defaults file */
NULL); /* terminate varargs list */
/* Create a widget */
hello = XtVaCreateManagedWidget(
hello,/* arbitrary widget name */
xmLabelWidgetClass, /* widget class from Label.h */
topLevel, /* parent widget */
NULL); /* terminate varargs list */
/*
* Create windows for widgets and map them.
*/
XtRealizeWidget(topLevel);
/*

RE: (n00b question) How does one activate the scrollbar in an xterm?
I'm thinking that both .Xdefaults and xterm do not depend on the window mgr, so that .Xdefaults entries as well as xterm cmd options should function similarly on any x window mgr - at least when specifically about the xterm scroll history. Is its scroll history not controlled by xterm itself rather than by the window mgr?

Re: Basic question 1 - Traffic
Hello, Mr. Tanner. Cygwin/X uses the X11 server for all GUI displays. X11 is a network-aware display server and uses network connections for all communication between the display/input devices and the client applications. This is what allows a GUI program running on one PC to take all of its input from and display all of its output to another PC. It's no different when both the GUI and programs are running on the same PC. X11 just opens a network connection to itself using the loopback interface (lo on most systems), and that's what ZA and other Windows firewall programs trip on. Basically, everything X11-related should be allowed not only to connect to 127.0.0.1 without restrictions, they should also be allowed to act as servers listening on 127.0.0.1. Without that, Cygwin/X will be degraded at best, and unable to work at all at worst. -ArielMT On Tue, 27 Sep 2005 06:30:30 +0100 Herbert Eppel wrote: On 27.09.2005 06:18 UK Time, Jack Tanner wrote: Herbert Eppel wrote: No doubt this is a very basic question, and I'm not sure whether it is really a question for this group or whether I should direct it to the authors and/or user group of the ESP-r software, but I wonder whether someone could shed some light on why Cygwin/X (or perhaps it is just the individual components of the ESP-r software I am running?) triggers ZoneAlarm access permission alerts and generates constant internet traffic (or perhaps only 'trusted zone' traffic?) as indicated by ZoneAlarm? Chances are that you're seeing Cygwin/X connect to itself via TCP. This is normal. Hi Jack, thanks for your reply. I don't really understand why Cygwin/X needs to connect to itself, but it seems a likely explanation for the traffic I am seeing. Furthermore, Zone Alarm is a source of problems for many Cygwin/X users. The two are known to conflict. See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html. I don't actually have a problem with ZoneAlarm, I was just curious about why the various components of the ESP-r software I am using (and indeed some external ones that came bundled with that software, for example xv.exe) triggered a one-off ZoneAlarm access permission alert when they were launched for the first time (they are now listed in ZoneAlarm's list of programs).

RE: Basic question X - ways to skin a ... mouse
I think I've got it wrong and Brian Dessent is right. The util is the intellimouse driver. Which is why I could not find it at Logitech. On the other hand, I advise you to keep your double-click assignment for cygwin as well, and get accustomed to dual-click emulating double-click. The reason being, when I sat on a sun-sparc or aix using their mouse, the native double-click action is effortless. However, connecting to those stations using cygwin/x or reflection/x or eXceed, I need to click extremely fast to effect a double-click. Of course, I could configure xp to widen the interval of double-click recognition. Doing that, you would realise that a second in cygwin/x (reflection eXceed as well) is but a thousand years on XP desktop. Most unix visual applications require double- clicking, and even Motif's own dtfile. X-Free people ought to look into the difference between XP mouse interval and remote unix interval. Is this an X-Free issue or a cygwin/x issue? I tend to think it's a cygwin issue. X-Free is normally used on Linux without having a user shift between MSWin and XWin. Is there a worster place in this country than Worcester, Mass. (besides Gary, Indiana)? Is there a more beautiful place than Bar Habor, Maine? One is heaven, the other h#ll. But having to vacillate between the two on a weekly basis is purgatory. Is there better loyalty to a football club than to ManchU, besides L'pool? One was pure elegance, the other pure brute.

RE: Basic question 3 - system tray icon
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. The bat file is not unix and you might be more familiar with it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Herbert Eppel Sent: Wed, September 28, 2005 12:08 PM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Re: Basic question 3 - system tray icon On 28.09.2005 16:48 UK Time, Reid Thompson wrote: Herbert Eppel wrote: Can the cygwin X server be prevented from placing an icon in the Windows system tray?

Thanks, although I'm afraid I still fail to see Reid's single-click solution - but never mind, I think I am satisfied now that my own single-click solution (i.e. x in top right corner) is 'safe'.
