Mirror Problems

[DEWI - N. Zacharias]

Hi all,
Setup.exe reports that the mirror

ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/

is no longer on the official Cygwin mirror list.

That seems a bit  strange to me because this was a mirror for years and worked 
exceptional fast and stable.
Also all the other german mirrors disappear from the list.

Ok than I tried the remaining  mirrors
ftp://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de
ftp://ftp.inf.tu-dresden.de

they are not working.

Only basemirror.de works.

Why all the working mirrors disappear and why do the most of the remaining not 
work ??
Who made this decision ?

Have fun
Norbert

I think they automatically (and temporarily) fall off the list if
they're not sufficiently up-to-date, which I'd guess is something to
do with the large numbers of updates recently. Dresden and Bochum are
still working fine for me.

ps: Btw, your habit of starting a new thread for every reply is rather
annoying. Please consider changing your subscription from digest to
message-by-message and use your mailer to dump Cygwin mail into a
separate folder.

pps: Mailing list admins, is there really any need for the digest option?

Strange ! How long does it take to get the package list from them ??
I give up after 2 min where nothing happened

Don't get the point why this setup of my mailer should have an influence on the 
 mail it self. Btw it is still as you suggest.

Have fun

[ANNOUNCEMENT] CALL FOR TESTING: Cygwin 1.7.6 due soon

[Corinna Vinschen]

A lot of changes and fixes have been made in Cygwin since 1.7.5 has
been released, so we're looking forward to release Cygwin 1.7.6 soon.

Please test the latest developer snapshots at http://cygwin.com/snapshots/
which should have "Release Candidate" quality.

Please report bugs to the cygwin at cygwin dot com mailing list.
Please follow the guidelines at http://cygwin.com/problems.html
Be aware that we're mainly focusing on regressions from 1.7.5.

What's new:

- Add new mount options "dos" and "ihash" to allow overriding Cygwin
  default behaviour on broken filesystems not recognized by Cygwin.

- A new mechanism is used to propagate pty handles safely to other
  processes, which does not require to use Cygserver.

- Pass on coresize settings made with setrlimit(2).  This allows
  shells to disable creating stackdump files in child processes via
  `ulimit -c 0' in bash or `limit coredumpsize 0' in tcsh.

- Locale categories contain all localization strings additionally as
  wide-char strings.  locale(1) prints these values just as on Linux.
  nl_langinfo(3) allows to fetch them.

Fixes:

- Fix problem where pseudo-relocs were getting applied twice, resulting
  in a crash.

- Fix a crash when accessing /proc/registry*

- Avoid that connect on a not yet established AF_LOCAL/AF_UNIX
  socket misinterprets the socket file as non-socket.

- Fix stdin/out/err handle permissions when called from a non-Cygwin
  process.

- Fix codeset problem in internal handling of process name.

- Fix abbreviated month names for japanese and korean locale.

- Fix calls to gettimeofday after call to settimeofday.

- Fix REG_MULTI_SZ handling in /proc/registry*

- Honor cygwin username even if it only differs by case from Windows
  username.

- Fix potential memory leak when accessing // or //server directories.

- Fix using a wrong handle when cehcking for files inaccessible to
  current user.

- Fix erroneous handling of devices in path checking.

- Fix potential crash in exec(2) if parent uses file locking.

Other changes:

- Change the way a process is made process group leader in case
  we're started from a non-Cygwin process.  This isn't foolproof
  and may need more work.

- Workaround BLODA problem in rename(2) which otherwise results
  in annoying errors.

- Improve error output in strace.

- Add more workarounds for broken filesystems which either don't grok
  reopening a file by handle (NWFS) or which are not capable of
  handling filenames with leading spaces or trailing dots or spaces
  (NWFS, Netapp).

- Don't try to evaluate reparse points (junctions) on remote
  filesystems as symlinks.

- Improve performance of stat and a few other functions.  ls(1) should
  be up to 30% faster on some drives.

I'm just wondering, will setup.exe honor new mount options, or it will
still mess up NTFS permissions?

This is a call for testing of the Cygwin DLL, not for a new version
of setup.exe.

What we did was to simply delete the cygwin ping and fall back to the
windows ping. Works fine.

Ping uses raw sockets which is something that is probably
understandable that Windows 7 blocks.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: coreutils-8.5-2

[Eric Blake]

An updated package, coreutils-8.5-2 release has been uploaded and will
soon reach a mirror near you, replacing 8.5-1 and leaving coreutils
8.4-2 as previous.

NEWS:
=
This is a minor patch release, which optimizes a code path in ls(1) to
take less time determining if a file has ACLs.

If you encounter a regression, please report it here rather than
upstream.  See also the upstream documentation in /usr/share/doc/coreutils/.

Help in porting the stdbuf utility to cygwin would be appreciated.

DESCRIPTION:

GNU coreutils provides a collection of commonly used utilities essential
to a standard POSIX environment.  It comprises the former textutils,
sh-utils, and fileutils packages.  The following executables are included:

[ arch base64 basename cat chcon chgrp chmod chown chroot cksum comm cp
csplit cut date dd df dir dircolors dirname du echo env expand expr
factor false fmt fold gkill groups head hostid hostname id install join
link ln logname ls md5sum mkdir mkfifo mknod mktemp mv nice nl nohup
nproc od paste pathchk pinky pr printenv printf ptx pwd readlink rm
rmdir runcon seq sha1sum sha224sum sha256sum sha384sum sha512sum shred
shuf sleep sort split stat stty su sum sync tac tail tee test timeout
touch tr true truncate tsort tty uname unexpand uniq unlink users vdir
wc who whoami yes

UPDATE:
===
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on

1.7.5: cygwin blocks UAC dialog

[Shailo Sanyal]

Hi,

I am running Cygwin 1.7.5 on Windows 7 (64-bit):

I4846-vm:intgpune [2] uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 I4846-vm 1.7.5(0.225/5/3) 2010-04-12 19:07 i686 Cygwin


If I run an exe from a cygwin tcsh shell the UAC dialog is being 
blocked. I get a "Permission denied." error.


Here is the manifest file for the exe:




 
  
   
  
 




This is breaking some of my scripts which call an executable and need 
the UAC dialog to be popped up.


In a related issue - I also find that Cygwin simply blocks all error 
message popups e.g. for missing DLLs from executables. This makes it 
hard to debug runtime issues.


Is this a bug with Cygwin? Can it be fixed?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Shailo Sanyal

Actually they are both working.  The fact that you can't see them does not mean 
that
sourceware.org can't see them.  sourceware.org maintains the list.

Perhaps reading http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html might help you
understand.  The short answer is that the mirror does not have a current
set of packages.  If it does get up to date soon it will automatically
go back on the list.

Btw, exaggerate much?

Wish for new setup

[DEWI - N. Zacharias]

Hi all,
It would be nice if a new version of setup.exe  will have a additional  flag  
which accept a file with a package list instead a list like -P .
With this it would be easy to clone installations with the help of cygcheck.

Kindly regards
Norbert

I see them on the list, but after selecting them from the list setup try to 
download the package list but nothings happenes.

> Btw, exaggerate much?

Having the problem to deal with two mirrors to setup a clone installation for a 
laptop. (using the local package dir) But with more than one it is quite tricky 
and takes a lot of time.

Have a nice day

Yes, it's understood that you have a problem with those two mirrors.
sourceware.org sees them just fine and has verified that they are
up-to-date.  They will stay on the list as long as that is the case.
Conversely, ftp.gwdg.de will not be on the list as long as it does not
have up-to-date context.

And, I can see both mirrors fine from Massachusetts, USA too, FWIW.

It's not a bug and it can't be fixed.  You can't do this from the
command line.  Child processes are forked and exec'd using the Win32
CreateProcess or CreateProcessAsUser calls.  None of the CreateProcess*
calls has any provisions to interact with UAC.

For the same reason you have to start the entire console session
elevated to run the shell and subsequent applications elevated.

What you could try to do is to start the application via a shim which
calls ShellExecuteEx with the "runas" verb as described here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756922.aspx

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: findutils-4.5.9-1

[Eric Blake]

A new release of findutils, 4.5.8-1, is available, leaving 4.5.5-1 as
previous.

NEWS:
=
This is a new upstream release.  Upstream news is attached.  See also
/usr/share/doc/findutils/.

DESCRIPTION:

The findutils package contains programs which will help you locate files
on your system.  The find utility searches through a hierarchy of
directories looking for files which match a certain set of criteria
(such as a filename pattern).  The xargs utility builds and executes
command lines from standard input arguments (usually lists of file names
generated by the find command).  The locate utility scans a database of
filenames and displays matches.  The updatedb utility builds the
database for locate.

UPDATE:
===
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up
'findutils' from the 'Base' category (it should already be selected).

DOWNLOAD:
=
Note that downloads from sourceware.org (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed
due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need to find a
mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you:
http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html

QUESTIONS:
==
If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.

* Major changes in release 4.5.9, 2010-04-29

** Bug Fixes

#29593: Make import-gnulib.sh work under a POSIX shell.

#29511: fails to build on kfreebsd-*

#27563: -L breaks -execdir

#19593: -execdir  {} + has suboptimal performance (see below)

** Translations

Updated translations: Chinese (simplified).

** Performance changes

The find program will once again build argument lists longer than 1
with "-execdir ...+".  The upper limit of 1 argument for execdir was
introduced as a workaround in findutils-4.3.4.   The limit is now
removed, but find still does not issue the maximum possible number of
arguments, since an exec will occur each time find encounters a
subdirectory (if at least one argument is pending).

** Functional enhancements to xargs

You can now increase the parallelism of xargs in mid-run by sending
it SIGUSR1, and decrease the parallelism with SIGUSR2.

one version of swig, please try to figure out which versions do and
don't work before reporting issues to the list.

I actually would have to research how to turn it off so this wouldn't happen
anytime soon anyway.

FWIW, people who subscribe to cygwin-digest seem to have an inordinately

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: e2fsprogs, e2fsimage, util-linux

[Yaakov (Cygwin/X)]

The following packages have been updated for the Cygwin distribution:

*** e2fsimage-0.2.2-1
*** e2fsprogs-1.41.12-1
*** libblkid1/libblkid-devel-2.17.2-1
*** libcom_err2/libcom_err-devel-1.41.12-1

*** libss2/libss-devel-1.41.12-1
*** libuuid1/libuuid-devel-2.17.2-1
*** util-linux-2.17.2-1

util-linux provides an assortment of utilities for *NIX systems.

e2fsprogs and e2fsimage provide utilities for working with ext2/3/4
filesystems.

The libraries provided by e2fsprogs, which were previously only static,
are now also available as shared libraries.  libblkid and libuuid are
now provided by the util-linux sources but are compatible with those
previously shipped by e2fsprogs.

Note that installing libuuid-devel will make it a little more difficult
to link against w32api's UUID.DLL import lib.  Please note that these
are completely unrelated libraries, and any open-source *NIX software
looking for -luuid is looking for this libuuid-devel.

System hooks for the same shortcut.
Easiest is to create a new user, login under it and try there.
If nothing changed, look through launched applications and investigate their
purpose and behavior.

history (was Re: base-files: LOGNAME)

[Cyrille Lefevre]

Le 31/05/2010 13:22, Andy Koppe a écrit :


Posix defines LOGNAME, but regarding USER it only says that it is
"unwise to conflict with certain variables that are frequently
exported by widely used command interpreters and applications".
(http://opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xbd/envvar.html)


FYI only, in short :

historically, USER is the bsd variant of the sysv LOGNAME.

long...

sunos, login(1) both set USER and LOGNAME using pwd->pw_name
also, logname(1) uses cuserid(3) instead of getlogin(3)
cuserid(3) does getpwuid(geteuid()) || getlogin() || NULL
funny, logname(3) does getenv("LOGNAME") in libxpg !

solaris, login(1) only set LOGNAME
logname(1) does getlogin(3)

in both case, getlogin(3) does an utmp lookup using
a kind of ttyslot() * sizeof(struct utmp) || NULL

sys5r4, same as solaris, but
getlogin(3) does an utmp lookup using a kind
of a while getsid(0) != utmp.ut_pid loop
cuserid(3) does a getlogin(3) || getpwuid(getuid()) || NULL

irix, login(1) and logname(1) does as sunos
getlogin(2) does an utmp lookup using a kind
of a while ttyname(0||1||2) == utmp.ut_line
cuserid(3) does as sys5r4

osf1, login(1) does as sunos, logname(1) as solaris
getlogin(1) does a syscall _getlogin(2)
cuserid(3) does as getpwuid(getuid()) || NULL

Cygport improvements

[JonY]

Hello,

I am planning to bring mingw-w64 to cygwin. Here are some nits I found 
when working with it.


* It sets CC=gcc
While not a major issue, it does present some issues when cross 
compiling the mingw-w64 CRT.


* Implicitly setting --prefix=/usr
While I understand this is suitable for native builds, perhaps adding 
some cross compile logic to disable this?


* Libtool logic too smart
This is partly a GCC issue too, since it insists installing dlls to 
PREFIX/bin. However, manually moving around the dlls and fixing up the 
.la paths after install causes cygport to fail with "[ ../../..: Unary 
operator expected.", "../../.. not installed" of sorts error around 
src_postinst.cygpart:590.


Packaging GCC presents some challenge, there is a packaging hack in the 
src_install part. I will try to fix that in GCC.

Followup re: ssh error

[Saxon, Will]

Hello,

I just joined the list because I am having the same or similar problems that 
Andrew DeFaria reported on 6/2:

http://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin@cygwin.com/msg109042.html

I've read some other posts in the archive that suggest this might be a 1.7.x 
specific issue, but I also found the following post from 2008, with cygwin 
1.5.25:

http://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin@cygwin.com/msg89149.html

In my case, I've been able to work around this issue by running sshd as 
LocalSystem and storing the user password in the LSA private registry area 
('option 3' from 
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-setuid-overview). I was never 
able to get PKI working for all use cases using an nt service running as a 
privileged user (local or domain). See below. 

Some background of what I've tried:

After running ssh-host-config (letting it create a privileged user to run 
sshd), making a /etc/passwd entry for a domain user and copying public keys 
into its authorized_keys file, I was able to log in using public key auth, but 
ONLY if I used ssh for an interactive login. If I tried to ssh  or scp 
instead, I always got some form of the following error:

   4 [main] sshd 4404 C:\cygwin\usr\sbin\sshd.exe: *** fatal error - could not 
load user32, Win32 error 1114

This happened with any non-interactive login from Linux -> 2003, Linux -> 
2003R2, Linux -> 2000, 2003 -> 2003R2 and 2000 -> 2003R2. All the windows hosts 
are 32bit and are joined to a single domain. I believe this is the same problem 
Andrew reported with his 'seacase' machine in his post on 6/2.

I tried making my user an administrator on the machine, using a local user to 
log in instead of a domain user, using a domain cyg_server privilege account 
instead of a local one, etc. based on what I've seen suggested in the archives. 
In all cases, I get the above error when using pki for ssh  or scp. 

HOWEVER, when I started a cygwin shell as the cyg_server user and ran sshd in 
the foreground from the shell, I was able to ssh, ssh  and scp using 
pki without error, using both the domain and the local cyg_server accounts. So 
at least in my case with my testing I was only seeing the above error when 
running sshd as a service using these accounts. 

As mentioned at the top of my mail, at this point I think I am going to run 
sshd as LocalSystem and use cygserver/stored passwords for this project. 

Questions:

1. Is there any reason why sshd run as a service via cygrunsrv as a privileged 
user would behave any differently than sshd run in a shell as that same user?

2. Based on the setuid overview it looks like running sshd as LocalSystem with 
cygserver and stored passwords should be identical to running sshd as a 
privileged domain account for the purposes of both PKI and privilege 
separation. Is this correct?

3. In my case, the ssh users are all being used for automated processes and do 
not have high privileges on the domain. Are there any big problems with using 
cygserver and stored passwords vs. using a privileged domain account in this 
situation? Stored passwords seem like a much safer option. Am I being naive 
here? 

Thanks,

-Will

Why would a Cygwin tool worry about mingw?  We've already removed mingw
support from gcc.  Why add it to something called "cygport"?

Ditto.  It's intended to make cygwin packages.

I really don't see how making something mingw aware is a topic for
the cygwin mailing list.

He's trying to make a cygwin package that consists of a cross compiler
toolchain for targetting 64-bit windows from a cygwin host.  Cygport
puts some obstacles in the way for doing that.  Maybe you could
suggest how to get around his issues?  That'd be a big help if you
could shed some light on the things he mentioned.

If it's a cross-compiler then it should be installed in /usr.

It sure sounds like you're trying to use cygport for something that
it was not intended for.

But I don't support cygport so I am not going to shed any light on
anything.

While not a major issue, it does present some issues when cross
compiling the mingw-w64 CRT.

Yes, its a cross compiler, compiler frontend binaries go in /usr/bin, 
but headers and libraries for target do not belong in cygwin 
/usr/include and /usr/lib.

Re: False alarm about exception C0000005

[mredekopp]

Hi all

I saw this thread when searching for a similar error I'm getting.  Mine is
not with large binaries, but with lots of memory allocations (I'm doing some
processing on a large IC netlist).  When my program reaches around 800 MB of
memory or so it will crash.  I tried to use GDB but it just gave me code
C005 and nothing to locate the problem.  I tried to catch a failed
memory allocation using a std::bad_alloc exception but it doesn't seem to
get thrown.

I'm using cygwin 1007.5.0 on Vista 32-bit Enterprise...

Any ideas about this?

Thanks
M
