installation problem: no /etc/profile

[Mark Peloquin]

I recently installed cygwin with some problems.  This is the fourth
installation of Windows where I have installed cygwin, and this has
happened with this Windows installation twice now.  I don't think it's
a fluke.  My guess is that it is only noticeable for new
installations.

I was first greeted by a shell prompt like this: 'bash-3.2$'

I notice there is no '/etc/profile', nor are there any home
directories.  Upon investigating /var/log/setup.log.full, I came
across this:

2007/02/18 01:18:51 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/aalib.sh
/usr/bin/bash: /etc/postinstall/aalib.sh: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: No

Then you must not load it up hard. I get fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
probably every day atleast 2-3 times. I have done all the registry settings for
desktop heap size, etc. etc.
Almost always when I have a lot of processes executing at once, always bash,
and when the previous two are met, it's random. Sometimes it happens, sometimes
it doesn't.

libtool either sending bunk command lines to gcc as a result of the fork
failure - or more accurately libtool returning an error level and gcc
bailing out as it should.

Here, no virus checker, no more than 1 cygwin dll.

Nowhere. "/var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-
writable" - that's pretty clear, isn't it?!

You know this kind of things just shuts people off and turns them away right?
People are trying to make progress, trying to make things better, and they're
basically being told to go away. If he could do it himself, I'm sure he would
have solved the issue by now. If he can't, perhaps he needs the help. I don't
see what's so groundbreaking about "I'm not going to be able to help you with
it now as I'm too busy, but perhaps throw the idea out there along with your
observations and see who else bites." Is that somehow worse than "Look, I don't
have the time to help you track down problems, find someone else." ?

Nowhere. "/var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-
writable" - that's pretty clear, isn't it?!


I've already recognized this message, but as I wanted to chown to
root, I was told that there's no "root"-user in the system...

Now I "chown"ed to myself:root and now it works -> sshd is up for one
connection ("ssh localhost") and ends when closing the connection.

Afterwards I "chown"ed /var/empty/ to SYSTEM:root and again tried to
start sshd as a service, but same error-message as before -> did I
come closer to the solution, now I know, that sshd works from
commandline?

thanks for your assistance

Cygwin and Vista - missing manifest files

[Benoit Miller]

A while ago there was a discussion (in the "Vista & coreutils" thread) 
that suggested adding an install.exe.manifest file to solve the UAC 
issues with Vista.


From a Cygwin 1.5.24-2 install, two more manifest files are needed: one 
for install-info.exe and (more importantly) one for patch.exe, otherwise 
you get a "permission denied" error when launching either of them.


The required manifest is identical to the one already provided for 
/bin/install.exe, just update the "name" field to point to the new 
executable.


If you are adding the manifest to an existing installation, you may need 
to touch the .exe files after creating the manifests as Vista caches 
this metadata.


Thanks,
Ben.

It says "and not group or world-writable" - that's pretty clear, isn't

I didn't mention, that I checked this too (that was the easier part,
compared to user "root" ;-)).

These sound like the same steps I have gone through.  sshd asks for 
root, but it is actually SYSTEM.  This is what I ended up with on 2 
different working systems:


drwxr-xr-x+ 2 SYSTEM Administrators 0 Sep  5 15:53 /var/empty
dr-xr-xr-x+ 2 SYSTEM root 0 Jan 10 12:57 /var/empty

But these did not work for me either when I tried running it from the 
command line (instead of a service).  It had to be owned by the current 
user.  I renamed it and did a mkdir so I could continue debugging. 
Later I put the system one back after renaming the command line version 
in case I have to debug it again later, and now have:


drwxr-xr-x+  2 SYSTEM   root  0 Jan 11 18:06 empty
drwxr-xr-x+  2 VPSAdmin Users 0 Jan 12 09:54 empty.cmdline

The ownership/permissions were the problem on another system I debugged, 
but this box ended up having a totally different problem.  It had a 
program running with so many connections that Window's netstat program 
would not work anymore.  We rebooted and then sshd worked, as well as 
netstat.  The moral of the story is that if netstat isn't working, don't 
bother trying to run sshd.

Try to get rid of the ACEs that cause the "+" sign at the end of the ls 
listing. The plus sign probably means "permissions that do not
comply directly with the rwx(user,group,world) schema", but I'm far from 
sure about that.

drwxr-xr-x+ 2 SYSTEM Administrators 0 Sep  5 15:53 /var/empty

ok - this prcondition should be clear now =>
chown SYSTEM:root /var/empty
chmod 755 /var/empty


But these did not work for me either when I tried running it from the
command line (instead of a service).  It had to be owned by the current

ok - same I found out for running sshd from commandline.

unfortunately "netstat" *does* work on that machine (there are only 5
connections to only 2 different nodes open!) ...

...and the "root" group looks suspicious, too. Get rid of that..



$ mkgroup -l > /etc/group
$ ls -dl /var/empty
drwxr-xr-x+ 2 SYSTEM Administrators 0 Feb 18 20:06 /var/empty
=> done :-)


Try to get rid of the ACEs that cause the "+" sign at the end of the ls

listing.[...]

but I don't know how to get rid of the "+". What is this "+" (???)
called, so I can search for it and find out what to do?

thanks

I already wrote that: "permissions that do not comply directly with the 
rwx(user,group,world) schema". Open the ACL editor in Windows and remove 
all the settings that do not comply...

It's not important, here's how my /var/empty looks (with sshd working fine):

$ ll /var
...
drwxr-xr-x+  2 SYSTEM  None   0 May 20  2004 empty/

It should be clear by now that you messed something pretty bad, and we haven't
found what it was from your reports, why don't you start all over again...
rename your Cygwin directory and install it again, just run the sshd config
script and don't touch anything else.

Use 'getfacl' and 'setfacl'.  This will manipulate the ACL that is indicated
by the '+' at the end of the permission string displayed by 'ls'.

Re: Lost support for baud rate of 230400 after minor Cygwin upgrade

[David le Comte]

Thank you for your response Corinna.

When I did my upgrade to include cron, I just upgraded the "admin" 
section.  I came in
to work on the weekend, and did a full upgrade and everything is back to 
normal.

I must have got something out of whack with something else by only doing a
partial upgrade?

My reference to a baud rate of 25 was a mistake, and I apologise for the
consequent confusion, I should have written 256000 bps.

I noted that this 256000 bps rate was included in termios.h and that 
cfsetspeed
did not complain to this rate.  tcsetattr(), as I recall, may have 
complained, but I think
I assumed this was because the serial port driver for my USB connected 
serial

port did not support that rate.

Part of my termios.h file (at the time)
.
#define B230400  0x01004
#define B256000  0x01005
...

My USB serial port card can support 9216000 bps, and all power of 2 
sub-multiples
to 115200, then the "usual suspects" below that.  Is this list a subset 
of your new list of
supported baudrates?  When might I expect (roughly) that this new 
release might

happen.  If I can help in some way, please let me know.

I am very appreciative of the work that you and the others are doing, by 
the way.


best regards,

David le Comte

[BTW, I was very impressed at how easy it was to get cron up and working -
though I do have a question: /ect/rc does not appear to be automatically
invoked; is that possible?  What is the best way to ensure that cron is
started automatically - maybe add it to the Windows list of Services?]

On Feb 16 10:27, David le Comte wrote:
  

Two days ago, I upgraded my Cygwin to extend my "admin" components so that
I could use cron.  When I did this I found that a program I had previously
written to set a baudrate on a serial port to 230400bps is now failing, 
whereas

before it was OK.  Note that using stty -F /dev/comX where X is the
"Comm port number" still works, ie it can still set the baud rate to 230400
(or even 25).

Here is my C code:
  /if ((cfsetispeed(&t,local_rate) != -1) && 
(cfsetospeed(&t,local_rate) != -1))

   {
 if (tcsetattr(rtnval,TCSANOW,&t) == -1)
 {
   rtnval = -1;
 fprintf(stderr,"tcsetattr() could not handle the selected baud 
rate.\n");

   }
   }
   else
   {
 rtnval = -1;
 fprintf(stderr,"cfsetispeed() or cfsetopseed() couldnt handle the 
selecetd baud rate.\n");

   }
 }
/Prior to the day before yesterday, the cfsetispeed() and cfsetospeed() 
and tcsetattr() calls

all worked, now tcsetattr() is returning -1 on any baud rate above 115200.



This is suspect.  If stty works but your application doesn't, even
though they use basically the same interface...

Up to 1.5.24, the only baudrate supported above B115200 is B230400 btw.

  
In an earlier posting, it was noted that whilst Windows had informal 
support for
_any_ baudrate above 115200, Cygwin did not.  It was noted that for 
baudrates

above 115200, Windows XP would pass (via SetCommState()?) the actual
(long) value of the baudrate, to the vendor's driver, which would then 
either
handle it (or not).  This was in contrast to 115200 or lower baud rates, 
where it

would pass a number "#defined" (In the form SBR_nn) in an include file.



CBR_, but they are just defines for the same value, e.g.

  #define CBR_9600 9600

so actually there's no difference between using a number and a define.

  

Now, at the time, I found out by experimentation, and from what I found
in my termios.h file, that Cygwin did support 230400 and 25 bps.
I decided that, whilst I would have liked to go as high as 9216000 bps,
that I could live with 230400.  Now, though, that has been lost.



25 is not supported and never was.  As I wrote above, B115200 and
B230400 are supported for now.  The next Cygwin version will support
baudrates up to 300 (7 digits), which includes 256000, but 25
is not amongst them.  It's not a baudrate defined on Linux either.

What you could do is to create a simple, as-short-as-possible,
self-contained testcase in plain C, which builds OOTB and which allows
to reproduce the problem.

yes, I was able to login successfully and executed the "date"-command

so what is wrong with my installation (fyi - I did the same steps 2

Hm.  What exactly is the point to showing us a sequence of steps that
results in a working install on one machine rather than the details of
the failure of these steps on another?  Perhaps the point of this merry
chase has been lost on me through this protracted thread.  Anyway, if
you're suggesting that the above steps do not provide a running 'sshd'
on some other system, please try running it _on that system_ as debug.
That should tell you what 'sshd' has a problem with.  If there's no
issue there, check the Windows event log.  If you can't interpret the
feedback you're getting from this sleuthing, please send information
about your process, errors, configuration, setup, etc., to this list
and hopefully someone will be able to spot the issue.

It did not result in a working install, that is his point.  It works when sshd
is started manually but not as a service.

Has Michael tried running a debug version with a SYSTEM-owned shell to see
why running as SYSTEM is unhappy?  My WAG is that he still has a file out
there that doesn't have the proper permissions for SYSTEM.  It would be
helpful to address this issue directly.

For ways to open a SYSTEM-owned shell, see the email archives.

That was the point of testing with a complete re-install... which had the same
result.

Hint: A Windows shortcut with the following properties

C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c "at $(date +%H):$(($(date +%M) + 1)) /interactive
'c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe' --login -i; secs=$((60 - $(date +%S))); while [ $secs
-ne 0 ]; do echo -ne 'Please wait '$secs' seconds for the shell \r'; sleep 1;
secs=$(($secs - 1)); done"

and don't forget to return /var/empty to its original state before doing any
more testing.

cron run task can not see samba mounts.

[Daksa]

I have a cronjob setup so that I can backup several files from the
windows local fs to folders on one of my samba shares which is mounted
on my windows machine. I setup cron as a windows service using the
following as a guide
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-01/msg01940.html. The cronjob
worked for a while. I can't say for sure when it stopped working but I
first noticed it somewhere around when I changed the IP of my samba
server. The cronjob currently can not see  the samba share. I have the
cronjob setup as a shell script, which I've added diagnostics to to
try and figure out what is wrong. I have rebooted my windows machine
several times to see if that helps any, it has not. The following is
the current iteration of the shell script:

#!/usr/bin/bash

echo "" >> /home/Mike/rsync.log
date >> /home/Mike/rsync.log
whoami >> /home/Mike/rsync.log 2>&1
env >> /home/Mike/rsync.log 2>&1
mkdir /mnt >> /home/Mike/rsync.log 2>&1
mkdir /mnt/z >> /home/Mike/rsync.log 2>&1
mount z: /mnt/z >> /home/Mike/rsync.log 2>&1
df >> /home/Mike/rsync.log 2>&1
nice -19 rsync -au /cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ Settings/Mike/

nice -19 rsync -au /cygdrive/g/Desktop\ Extension/
/mnt/z/backup/g/Desktop\ Extension/ >> /home/Mike/rsync.log 2>&1
umount /mnt/z

Below is the output when run from cron as the following crontab entry:

I did that comment, it is not speculation.  I currently have no W32 machine,

GSlice is a memory handling function in Gtk+ (Glib).  It tries to
allocate an aligned block of memory using posix_memalign, memalign or
valloc.  I don't know which of these three is used on cygwin, but
apparently cygwin does not have a correct implementation.  I'd say it
is either a cygwin problem, or a glib problem.  The allocation is done
when Emacs tries to create a widget and is done within the Gtk+ liby.
There is nothing Emacs can do to fix this.  It must be done in cygwin
(by implemeting whatever function is used correctly) or by glib (by
recovering better from errors like this).

Setting up environment variables and paths for mySQL

[robert_neville310]

I am new to cygwin and need some assistance setting up environment
variables and paths. My main goal is to use various mysql commands
located in xamp\mysql\bin (like mysqldump and mysql). I could copy
them to /cygwin/bin/, but it would create duplicate files.

I would like to sync my production site with my development site on a
Windows XP machine on the command line. I am familiar with some unix
commands, yet do know how to set up my environment. The shell gives me
the following output.

bash: mysql.exe: command not found

This message appears even in the in /cygdrive/d/xampp/mysql/bin.

So if you have no way to verify anything then it sounds like it would be
speculation by definition.  Speculation isn't a bad word but speculating
doesn't actually do any good until someone can confirm the speculation.
Since I doubt that anyone here is going to download emacs to satisfy a
speculation that cygwin's API is broken, we obviously need more details
from people who care about this.

i.e.:

So, basically you're saying "a little more work" is required.
