how to have french keyboard ?

[Didier BRETIN]

Hi,

I'm searching how I can change my keyboard when I launch cygwin.bat to 
have french keyboard. I searched in the mailing list, but I found nothing.


Can you help me with this ?

Regards.

question::OpenSSH for Windows v3.8.1p1-1:

[Chris . Christodoulou]

Hi All

I'm hoping you can help with this problem I've been struggling with here.

We have installed OpenSSH for Windows v3.8.1p1-1:  on our Windows 2000
server.  I've created a local windows user and made the necessary addition
to the 'passwd' file.

Once I logon using an sftp client my default folder is correctly the folder
specified in the 'passwd' file.  From command line if I try to perform a
'cd ..'   it correctly prevents me from going back a folder.  However from
command line if I type 'cd /'  it takes me to the root folder of the
openssh application.  I understand that this is specified in the registry
and the '/' key is used when starting up the openssh instance.

My problem is that I want to prevent users from entering '/'  because this
takes them to this folder and allows them to navigate and view/edit passwd
file.  I cannot set the permisions on this folder to deny the user access
because it will also prevent the user from logging on.

Do you have any suggestions on how to prevent users from gaining access to
this folder?


Regards

Chris

I'm not sure if the following is related...

I recently upgraded an old Cygwin installation from the 1.5.18 time
frame to the latest and /etc/postinstall/00bash.sh hung.  I waited a
while and then canceled setup.exe.  After the upgrade, for some reason I
was unable to start bash.  However, other shells would start.  I was
able the "fix" the problem by manually copying /bin/bash.exe to
/bin/sh.exe.  BTW, this is what 00bash.sh was supposed to do, but was
unsuccessful.

In my case, I verified that all Cygwin process had been stopped.

Error opening script file

[Ronald Fischer]

I have installed the script language JRuby, which comes with two
executables: A binary jruby, and a 
shell script jirb (for interactive purpose). I can call jruby, but I get
an error message when calling
jirb:

~/ruby_test $ ls -l $JRUBY_HOME/bin/jirb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rfischer mkgroup-l-d 323 Apr 23 23:30
/cygdrive/h/jruby-0.9.9/bin/jirb
~/ruby_test $ !$
$JRUBY_HOME/bin/jirb
Error opening script file: \cygdrive\h\jruby-0.9.9\bin\jirb (Das System
kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden)
~/ruby_test $ head -n 1 !$
head -n 1 $JRUBY_HOME/bin/jirb
#!/usr/bin/env jruby

From this dialogue, you can see that jirb has the correct x-permissions,
but still the script
file can't be opened. My guess is that bash can't load the correct
interpreter file, so that's why
I also have listed above the first line of the jirb script - but it
seems that this is looking fine.
Any ideas what is going wrong?

(BTW, the German language error message above translates to: "The system
can't find the specified path".
If someone happens to know how to convince Cygwin to use English error
messages only, please let me
know too (I thought this would depend on the settings of the LANG
environment variable, but setting
it to "en" doesn't seem to have any effect.)

Hi Aaron,

One issue that might affect many some is that COM doesn't work. 
 has a patch that is 
pending review I guess, but probably won't go into 4.2.


Its not a very big patch, shame it cannot be reviewed in time.

Does this effect XPCOM meaning Mozilla and friends will not compile ?

Access of files using absolute path (was: Error opening script file)

[Ronald Fischer]

Aside from the problem described in my original posting (see the quote
at the end of this
message), I found a related problem, which has nothing to do with the
execution of a script,
but which seems to suggest that I have a general problem in opening
files by specifying absolute
pathes. Here an example:

I did a cd to drive C:

  $ pwd
  /cygdrive/c

and I also have the following jar file:

  $ ls -l $PWD/jakarta-jmeter-2.2/bin/*jar
  -rwxrwxrwx+ 1 rfischer  9962 Jun 13  2006
/cygdrive/c/jakarta-jmeter-2.2/bin/ApacheJMeter.jar

I can list the content of the jar file using RELATIVE path:

  /cygdrive/c $ jar tf jakarta-jmeter-2.2/bin/*jar
  META-INF/
  META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
  org/
  org/apache/
  org/apache/jmeter/
  org/apache/jmeter/DynamicClassLoader.class
  org/apache/jmeter/NewDriver$1.class
  org/apache/jmeter/NewDriver.class
  META-INF/LICENSE
  META-INF/NOTICE

But I can NOT list its contents using absolute path:

  $ jar tf $PWD/jakarta-jmeter-2.2/bin/*jar
  java.io.FileNotFoundException:
\cygdrive\c\jakarta-jmeter-2.2\bin\ApacheJMeter.jar 
  (Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.(FileInputStream.java:106)
at java.io.FileInputStream.(FileInputStream.java:66)
at sun.tools.jar.Main.run(Main.java:205)
at sun.tools.jar.Main.main(Main.java:1022)

Interestingly, I *can* open the file using, for example, od -x:

$ od -x $PWD/jakarta-jmeter-2.2/bin/*jar| head -n 2
000 4b50 0403 000a   a84a 34cd 
020      0009 0004 454d

So on this level, it seems that od and jar use different means to "open"
a file.

Now to quote my original problem, posted earlier:

What is interesting here is that I *can* access jirb by absolute path
using
programs such as less or head:

  $ head -n 5 $JRUBY_HOME/bin/jirb
  #!/usr/bin/env jruby
  #
  #   irb.rb - intaractive ruby
  #   $Release Version: 0.7.3 $
  #   $Revision$

but I can not execute it using the jruby interpreter - neither
implicitly,
as shown above, nor explicitly:

  $ jruby $JRUBY_HOME/bin/jirb
  Error opening script file: \cygdrive\h\jruby-0.9.9\bin\jirb (Das
System kann 
  den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden)

But this *is* possible using relative pathes:

  $ cd $JRUBY_HOME
  $ jruby bin/jirb
  irb(main):001:0> 

I experimented around with other applications. So far, I found that jar
and jruby 
have the problem that they can't open a file if it is listed absolutely
(/cygdrive/...), 
while for example ruby or zsh do not show this problem. So I first
thought that maybe
those applications have not been written with cygwin in mind - but then,
they would
have failed even with relative files - won't they?

What is going on here?

Jruby and java are not Cygwin applications so they won't understand 
Cygwin paths (/cygdrive/) even if they can use \ and / as path 
delimiters.

Cygwin, Vista, and rcmd

[cygwin]

I've been watching the groups, Google, and so forth with little luck to 
resolving the issue seen by myself and a few other people:


$ rlogin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   9617 [main] rlogin 5392 e:\cygwin\bin\rlogin.exe: *** fatal error - 
couldn't dynamically determine load address for 'rcmd' (handle 
0x75E7), Win32 error 127

Hangup

So I finally did some research myself. I don't have a solution, but i have 
another name for the problem!


Error code 127 is the 'procedure not found' code in Win32. I searched 
through the code and the DLLs involved, and found that ultimately, rlogin 
is looking for 'rcmd' in mswsock.dll (linked through wsock32.dll). The 
'rcmd' export is clearly available in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (the two 
other versions I checked), and conspicuously absent in Vista. (Checked 
with depends.exe).


The only thing I could find on the development list was a note from July 
by Corinna Vinschen that there was work in progress towards replacing 
the winsock calls -- looks like we're going to need that for Vista.


I'm not looking for support, just sharing the results of my research in 
hopes of making the problem less mysterious. I guess not many people use 
this functionality (but I use it daily in my work! ;) )

That's what I've been doing.  When I leave "Keep" selected,
clicking on CLISP's entry in the "New" column cycles between
"Keep" (my current version is 2.39-2), "2.41-1", and

yesterday, the cycling on "Curr" (but not that on "Keep")

Pretty much the standard advice: try the latest
, look over the setup.log.full, etc.

Correct.

It's actually a bit different than the descriptions I gave
in my last couple messages:

If I leaved "Curr" selected, the cycle is:

 2.41-2 --> Keep --> 2.41-1 --> Uninstall --+
 ^  |
 +--+

That is, it starts on 2.41-2, but never goes back to that
version.

If I select "Keep", the cycle is the same but (of course)
starts on "Keep" so I can't get back to 2.41-2.

I have a suspicion that installing 2.41-1 and only then
trying to install 2.41-2 would solve this problem, but I'll
put that off a bit in case anyone wants me to try anything
else.

Hmm, that /is/ odd. In fact, it sounds like it might be a weird setup 
bug i.e. an installed version that is no longer available messes up the 
cycle. I would definitely try a setup snapshot and checking the log as 
per Brian's advice (although I'm not sure if the log will help since 
setup does seem to know about the new version). If you're feeling 
adventurous you could download the setup source code and have a look 
around. :-)


Meanwhile I would guess that installing the 'prev' version first would work.

Could it be a matter of your terminal settings?  If you use cmd.com
(instead of rxvt or bash), and have CYGWIN=notty (default) instead of
CYGWIN=tty, then ctrl-c is not captured properly by xemacs, making key
sequences such as ctrl-x ctrl-c impossible to type.

installing libncurses.a etc

[Brian Salter-Duke]

I have just installed cygwin on a new laptop, so it is a very recent
version. I want to try to compile an application that needs ncurses.
However, configure can not find ncurses, and indeed libcurses.a and its
friends are not in /usr/lib. I tried reinstalling. An old message
suggested installing ncurses first and then libncurses and terminfo. The
result is the same. There is nothing from ncurses in /usr/lib, but
/usr/bin has:-

$ ls *ncurse*
cygncurses++-8.dll*  cygncurses++6.dll*  cygncurses5.dll* cygncurses7.dll*
cygncurses++5.dll*   cygncurses-8.dll*   cygncurses6.dll* ncurses8-config*

This was exactly the situation after the first install.

I can find nothing in the archives and indeed most messages about
ncurses are quite old and I expect things have changed. 

I am probably missing something obvious, but I can not see it. I have
used cygwin for ages but have never needed ncurses before. Can anyone
offer a clue.

Regards, Brian.

Not everything gets installed by default.

Trying this:
  $ cygcheck -p libncurses.a
shows that you need to install:
  libncurses-devel

Many thanks. I should have known and just downloaded everything with
'ncurses' in the name. That has put the stuff in /usr/lib.
