Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: bash-3.1-9

[Frank Illenseer]

Or even experiment with the SHELLOPTS environment variable.  If you set it
in windows, even the first run of bash will obey igncr; or, from within
bash, if you do 'export SHELLOPTS' to convert it from a shell variable to
an environment variable, then further bash invocations will inherit the
setting of this option, without having to edit every script.


This would be a good place for the "igncr" if it worked!

If i set this variable in windows to the value of just "igncr" I get the 
following error upon starting the bash:


   bash: igncr: invalid option name

So I looked in the man pages for bash:

 SHELLOPTS
A  colon-separated  list of enabled shell options.  Each word 
in
the list is a valid argument  for  the  -o  option  to  the  
set
builtin command (see SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS below).  The 
options
appearing in SHELLOPTS are those reported as on by set  -o.   
If
this  variable  is  in the environment when bash starts up, 
each
shell option in the list will  be  enabled  before  reading  
any

startup files.  This variable is read-only.

If I type "set -o" then "igncr" is *NOT* listed. Thus I assume this is the 
reason why the SHELLOPTS results in an error.

I tried the new "shopt -s igncr;#' but it does not work for this case.
(It does work if I have CR polluted files but not with the piped stdout
result)
Your approach with the additional shell script looks good. Thank you.
But it was not necessary in the past and now I have to do it for every
Windows program I call from cygwin and that writes to stdout.
( ATM I see only sqlplus in my case :-) ).

You asked, so I'll answer.  Yes, it is an accident that other tools
understand c:/.  Cygwin operates on the philosophy that you should use
POSIX paths, aka /cygdrive/c (or if that is too much typing for you, read
'man mount' for how you can shorten it to /c, by remounting cygdrive as
'/').


is there a way to mount /cygdrive/c as /?
by default,  c:/cygwin is mounted as /.

I really like the feature of "ls /" to display evevrything under c:/


<...>
 Another example of a program that parses its arguments is make; you need
only read last months archives for the debate about make 3.80 vs. make
3.81 for proof that using DOS paths in cygwin programs is ASKING for
problems.


I just checked the debate. it looks a strong demand for supporting dos path.
A good lessen. I think I need to make a copy of these unix commands in case 
the future release remove the support of "C:/". :)


Thanks for your tips.

ssh server: authentification problem

[carole gimenez]

Hi,

We installed cygwin 1.5.21-1 with openssh-4.3p2-3 on a windows 2003 
server. Then we installed winscp on another windows 2003 server to make 
tests.


We created users on Active Directory.

We followed installation instructions of this site:
http://www.commentcamarche.net/faq/sujet-2132-reseaux-installation-d-un-serveur-ssh-sous-windows

We choosed password authentication.

When we try to log on ssh server with any user, we obtain this message: 
"access denied". Otherwise, if this user belongs to the 
"Administrateurs" group, it works fine. Why?


We sought which was the reason without success.

I tried on my Linux PC. The result is the same:

# ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:
Last login: Wed Oct  4 15:13:04 2006 from serv.simpps.local

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~

# ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:
Permission denied, please try again.


Can someone help us, please?

Thanks For advance.

  Request duly noted.  I'm half-way through updating the main cygwin gcc

thinking about 3.4.6.

  Yes, I am aware of that.  I have no idea how it came to be this way, it's a
situation I have inherited and will have to figure out how it's supposed to
work before I can roll any new versions.

I tried your below example under 1.5.21 and with a more recent developer
version of Cygwin and the tests run fine in both cases:

  $ ./udp-listener.exe 
   $ ./udp-talker.exe localhost blah
   sent 4 bytes to 127.0.0.1
  got packet from 127.0.0.1
  packet is 4 bytes long
  packet contains "blah"

If there's a bug, it's not triggered by this test.  If it triggers
the problem on your machine, I'd assume the influence of some other
piece of software (firewall, virus scanner, etc)

AW: Cygwin server/cvs passwd problem

[Erik Nijkamp]

http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/InstallationTips#head-b6c8355ff21a64da5c4cad319b631ec9e826af5f

Section 4.6

Any user entered like this MUST be an NT user on the *local* system! CVS will 
not accept any user login that is not connected to a "real" account. But you 
can "alias" a CVS login to a "real" user by this command (only works if users 
connect with pserver):

cvs passwd -a -r  



Actually I need an alias because we only have a 5 user license for the nt 
machine. However, could you please answer the question, if that is possible
in some way.

The CVS server itself is running on NT (not within cygwin) and the passwd
command is NOT working in cygwin since there is no " Verify Password:"
and it never returns.

Yes, I'm using CVS NT and I ask here because this is not a matter of cvs nt,
but rather of cygwin since it doesn't print the "verify password:".

An alias?

Are you in fact creating a user in the /etc/passwd file? if you want to use it 
as an alias you have to copy the SSID part of the real user to the alias user.

As an option, an much easier, have you considered adding a user in CVS?  You 
just have to add a passwd file into the reporitory's CVSROOT, an entry of the 
form:

You seem to be using a modified CVS, so why ask here?

My Cederqvist manual for CVS 1.12.12 says "Someday, there may be a cvs passwd 
command", I know that is not the latest version but the latest in Cygwin 
packages is 1.11.21 (latest stable).

It's the way it is.  There's special code in tcsh which is identical for
Cygwin and U/Win.  It handles the .bat, .exe, and .com extensions
similar.  It might be worth to remove this, but I'd have to discuss this
with the tcsh upstream maintainers.

XmGrace does not work

Dear all:

I've installed Cygwin in my laptop running Windows XP, and a program
that I really need a lot (XmGrace) does not work. When I type the
command "xmgrace" and press Enter, nothing happens. I've seen that
this problem is related to the current version of xorg. Ok, I
reinstalled a previous version of xorg, ran rebaseall and XmGrace
still does not work. I uninstalled and so reinstalled Cygwin, with the
previous version of xorg selected, and XmGrace, unfortunately, insists
not to work. Any idea?

It's a limitation in Windows.  The default settings only allow
blocksizes up to 64K.  There's some information on the net that this is
a result of the default size of the scatter/gather arrays in the SCSI
controller driver settings.  Search for the keyword "MaximumSGList",
which should give you lots of hits.

However, I have tried this on three different machines with three
different SCSI controllers, and setting the MaximumSGList value only
works on one machine with a Adaptec U160 controller, even though it's
documented to work for most, if not all controllers. 

At one point I started to write code using direct SCSI access using the
IOCTL_SCSI_PASSTHROUGH ioctl codes, but hit the same limitation.  I
could set the blocksize to a value > 64K, but when reading data I never
got more than the first 64K from the block, plus the error code
ERROR_MORE_DATA.  Since I couldn't find a workaround, I eventually gave
up on this :(

I guess the bottom line is if you need to create portable tapes, stick
to blocksizes up to 64K.

  If that's *really* what you want, i.e. you want all your unix/linux-style
usr, lib, etc, bin, var (and so on) directories scattered amongst your
win32-style "Documents and Settings", "Program Files", "WINDOWS" (and so on)
directories in your C drive root directory, you should just install cygwin to
C:\ instead of installing it to C:\cygwin by changing the default install
location when you run setup.exe.

it still looks for c:\cygwin

is there a special setting or change I can get it done? such as registry

Oh right :(  It's a shame that 'set -o' and 'shopt' have different

instead.  OK, look for a bash-3.1-10 that does this...

It's unclear on what you have had happen in the past - did it used to
work? If it is a Cygwin/X problem / application, you should probably
post to that list, but one man's guess is that you haven't started
the X server, as that doesn't happen automagically.

Which commands look for c:\cygwin when it is not installed?  setup.exe,
and all cygwin programs, honor your mount points.  If cygwin has never
been installed, then no programs know to look for c:\cygwin because there
is no cygwin installed and thus no mount points.  And until cygwin is
installed, cygwin 'ls' will not work.  Furthermore, it is not ls that
handles DOS paths, but cygwin1.dll.  In other words, saving a copy ls.exe
will not guarantee you that DOS paths will still work if in the future you
upgrade cygwin1.dll and that upgrade happens to disable DOS path support
for all cygwin programs.  (Of course, the likelihood of cygwin disabling
DOS path support now seems slim, based on the potential backlash this list
will get as compared to the minimal overhead of currently supporting it.)

setup.exe defaults to installing in c:\cygwin, but you can choose to
install anywhere else, including c:\ (although the FAQ specifically states
that installing directly into a drive root is dangerous).  And read 'man
mount' for how to tell cygwin what '/' should translate to.  If you did
the default install, then '/' translates to 'c:\cygwin'.  If you install
to c:\ then '/' translates to 'c:/'.  If you change cygdrive to be '/'
instead of '/cygdrive/', then 'ls /c' lists the contents of c:\,
regardless of what '/' maps to.  It's that simple.  Now quit asking, and
start reading the documentation.  We are getting tired of this game.  The
only use of the registry is for mount point settings, but you should use
'mount' rather than directly editing the registry.  Or maybe since you
have such a hankering desire to use DOS paths, in spite of our warnings,
you should consider using djgpp or mingw instead of cygwin.

See cygcheck which will list all of the dll files that your application 
depends on.


e.g.  cygcheck ./foo.exe

FWIW, it's happening in an xterm under Cygwin as well, so it's not the
"cygwin" terminfo/termcap entry.  Cygwin's xterm does not support UTF-8.

Yes, it was.  Since ^L behaves properly, I neglected to mention that.

I don't believe Larry meant "mount" in that sense.  You can use Cygwin's
mount, like this:

mkdir -p /mnt/darnstein
mount '\\fs-sj1-15\darnstein' /mnt/darnstein

and then set your HOME to /mnt/darnstein.

FYI, using paths with colons in them will probably cause trouble at some
point down the line with some tool or another that treats the colon as the
separator for the remote machine name.

If you want textmode pipes, add "nobinmode" to your CYGWIN environment

Re: XmGrace does not work

[Gustavo Seabra]

Hi Roberto,alled cygwin in a laptop here, and had exactly the same
problem. The solution was *NOT* to reverse the xorg, but just to run
rebaseall after instalation of the most current version.

A note: if you have the most current version of xorg, even after you
rebaseall, you will have the same problem with the ImageMagick
programs (like 'display'). To solve that, you have to download the old
xorg-x11-bin-dlld-6.8.2.0 and extract only the

/usr/X11R6/bin/cygdpstk-1.dll
and
/usr/X11R6/bin/cygdps-1.dll

and then rebaseall again.

HTH,

Gustavo.

Re: XmGrace does not work

[Gustavo Seabra]

Ok, here's what I did:

I'm just starting using cygwin, and really don't understand much. So,
after many trials, i just decided to remove the whole cygwins
installation and make a fresh install, using the most recent packages.
After this installation I ran rebaseall, and xmgrace did work.

However, I had that problem with ImageMagick. So, I had to reinstall
those 2 DLLs. Then 'display' started to work again, but xmgrace
stopped working!

Finally, I ran rebaseall again, and all works fine again.

I guess WJM around here. :-) But perhaps I've been paying more
attention than you think.

If a patch is incorporated into upstream BASH, it's not going
to cause performance problems. If it did, it would be rejected.
That's something for the upstream maintainers to decide.

I may be coming at this from a different angle, to be sure. I'm
not really interested in a Cygwin-specific solution--I don't
particularly want the ability to write scripts that can't run
under Linux.

Ugh... If push does come to shove, I guess I can tell the
Windows-centric
folks on the team to set SHELL=c:/cygwin/bin/bash.exe so that the Win32
Version of GNU make will execute "bash c:\temp\tempscript.sh" rather

Seriously though, as long as I can get it to work we'll be happy.

I was specifically referring to your assertion that you would have a
hard time believing that CRLF handling would impact performance.  Since
bash already has CRLF handling that impacts performance severely I
don't see any basis in believing that just getting something included
upstream would be a guarantee that there would be no performance
problems.

But, Eric has weighed in on the subject and if he says that there isn't
much impact with his change, I certainly believe him.

  Volker (cygwin XmGrace package maintainer)



Hi Volker,

I'd be glad to describe it...

This problem is reproducible, I've seen it myself and I've seen
similar problems described before. But I'm not sure it is an XmGrace
problem.

What happens is that, after a fresh installation of cygwin, cygwin/x,
XmGrace does not work "out-of-the-box". We need to (manually) run a
'rebaseall' to make it work.

If you waqnt to reploduce it, it's important that you start from a
fresh installation of cygwin. AFAIK, this is not exactly a XmGrace
problem, but has to do with newer X11 libraries, but I must confess
that I don't understand much.

For those upgrading from a previous version a warning should be 
issued: if you're not using "privilege separation" your sshd is likely 
not going to start again. The reason is that even though you're not 
using "privilege separation" (and therefor don't have a "sshd" user 
account) the sshd account is now /required/:

 The problem is I can run the exact command in command line.

 Do you know why cron make difference on the path?

Cron is running under the LocalSystem account that hasn't any rights 
on network shares. Same goes for the Schedule service (at.exe).

If you followed the "french" instructions you have only local users in 
/etc/passwd (same with /etc/group). Therefor you shouldn't be able to 
log in with any domain account.

No problem, but that paragraph clearly says what contact email address to

Re: cygwin unix commands in windows

[Tom Lee]

From: Eric Blake <

Which commands look for c:\cygwin when it is not installed?  setup.exe,
and all cygwin programs, honor your mount points.  If cygwin has never
been installed, then no programs know to look for c:\cygwin because there
is no cygwin installed and thus no mount points.  And until cygwin is
installed, cygwin 'ls' will not work.


that is not true.

If I copy ls.exe and related cygwin dll over a machine with no cygwin 
installed,
"ls /" will list all files under c:/ , not c:/cygwin. I mistakely thought it 
will list c:/cygwin.


that is good to know. thanks.

superfluous dos box from ssh

[Richard Foulk]

Aloha,

I don't shut my machine down every day, so cruft tends to accumulate
over time.  Today, as I make a remote ssh connection from an xterm I get
an empty DOS box window on the screen for the duration of the connection.
If I close that window the ssh connection is shut down.

In the past I've restarted Cygwin to clean this up.  Is there a way
to quell this behavior by less extreme measures?


Thanks

Richard

 FWIW, still doesn't work for me:

I also cannot reproduce it with the bash-3.2 release candidate on Linux
(aterm or xterm) or FreeBSD6 (aterm or xterm).  I used the UTF-8 locale
to activate the multibyte locale code, which seems to be where most of
the display issues are.  Otherwise, that detail is unimportant.

Sorry I can't reproduce this particular issue, but it looks like the
prompt string you sent will be valuable in checking whether or not the
multiple-prompt-string-redraws problem has been solved.

Fixing /etc/profile

[Doug Harris]

I updated cygwin today and got to enjoy the fun of my shell no longer
working. Fortunately for my backside, I did search the mailing list
archive and found the answer required either setting a shopt or
modifying some CR/LF to just LF. No big deal.

The big deal, in my eyes, is that the one of the files that I had to
fix was /etc/profile. The timestamp on this file (prior to my fix) was
May 11, 2004 -- that would be the day I first installed cygwin on this
computer. I have not modified this from the original version.

Wouldn't it make sense that the default /etc/profile would work
out-of-the-box with the default bash installation?

Doug

p.s. A few quick helpful tips for people who are looking to fix their
own /etc/profile (and other files):

* The "file" command includes in its output "CRLF line terminators"
for files that have that
* "d2c /etc/profile" will quickly change the line endings in place.
Replace with other file names to fix those.
* Don't forget to check .bash_profile, .bashrc, etc
cd; file .bash* | grep "CRLF line terminators"

CR/LF where there should be CR. Try running d2u. And read the list for

Have you eliminated CR's as the cause (RTFRA and STFLA if you don't know 
what I'm talking about). What version of bash are you using? It would be 
helpful if you read http://cygwin.com/problems.html, especially the part 
about ATTACHING (not pasting in-line) cygcheck output.

1.5.21: no read from ttyS0

[Ring, Patrick]

I am having trouble reading from the serial port on /dev/ttyS0.  I can
open the port, set attributes, and write data, but I never receive
anything on a read.  I have some older executables and an older cygwin
dll (1.5.19), and these still work (running in a DOS shell).  The old
executables don't work with the new dll, and they also don't work after
I recompile.  

I can send and receive data between the two computers using
hyperterminal, so I know that the hardware is ok.  I have checked the
serial port settings with stty after my program runs and after running
hyperterminal, and they are the same.

I have attached a test program.  I have only one serial port, so I
either use a serial loopback connector, or connect to another computer
through a null modem cable and use hyperterminal.

Thanks in advace for your help.
Patrick

Reverting to older Cygwin installation?

[mwoehlke]

I've been keeping up with the new make, bash, etc, on my own desktop, 
but I'd like to try updating our build machine's packages to see if we 
can get some speed out of the new bash release. However, this being a 
build machine, breaking it would be *bad*.


I *want* to say I can downgrade (not uninstall and reinstall, downgrade) 
to the exact configuration we had by backing up the local install 
directory and - if needed - re-installing from there, but can someone 
confirm that this will (or at least "should") work?

Is there a way to install old version cygwin?

Hi,
 I just installed the latest cygwin from scratch, it does not work with 
some important software I use everyday. I do not have the enough time to 
investigate the problem. Since the old version worked very well with my 
software, I am wondering if there is some way to install the old version?


Thanks.

Re: Reverting to older Cygwin installation?

I *want* to say I can downgrade (not uninstall and reinstall, downgrade) 
to the exact configuration we had by backing up the local install 
directory and - if needed - re-installing from there, but can someone 
confirm that this will (or at least "should") work?




Well you should at the very least be able to restore the original state
by removing your Cygwin installation and installing from the local
download directory, assuming it hasn't been changed in any way and
that the packages there represented the totality of what you have
installed currently.  If in doubt, install it on a clean machine and
poke around with the result.

Hello !


In the last days i updated my CYGWIN installation

reinstalling the SSH-SSL Packages and the LESS

It appears that you either have some bad packages or some
local permissions problems.  The former should be rectified by
installing the packages from an alternate mirror.  The latter
would require inspecting your Windows permissions for the user
doing the installation.

Rerun 'setup.exe' and pick "Prev".

Re: Look command not working for me

When I type into my bash shell, for example

The directory /usr/share/dict does not even exist. I have reinstalled

Any suggestions? Cygcheck output is attached.



Maybe try the source package?  Dunno.  It's definitely not in the binary
package or anything else I can find via http://cygwin.com/packages/.

gpg hangs when decrypting/verifying signatures

[Charli Li]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Please note that this may or may not have something to do with all of
the newsgroups/mailing lists above in the header.  Cygwin provides the
DLL so gpg can run; enigmail utilizes gpg to do its thing in emails; and
gpg is the backbone of this.

After updating my Thunderbird nightly (2.0b1) for a couple of days,
something went strange with gpg and enigmail.  Thunderbird kept hanging
forever just because it was trying to decrypt/verify a signature by
using a hung gpg process. I know this from looking in Sysinternals
Process Explorer, because there was a gpg process in the tree of
thunderbird.exe.  In order to get away from this problem, I have to kill
gpg one or more times, since it might just pop back up again.

Fortunately, though, I can still sign and encrypt messages, just like
this one.  As mentioned above, this message/thread may have something to
do with all of the above (mail header), so please send any replies to
the newsgroups/mailing lists above.  (Cygwinners, please don't send
email to my *other* email address!)

Yep, cool thing. It works and now I can abandon my sqlplus wrapper
