[ANNOUNCEMENT] freerdp 2.0.0-0.3.20170419git

[Yaakov Selkowitz]

The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:

* freerdp-2.0.0-0.3.20170419git
* libfreerdp2_2-2.0.0-0.3.20170419git
* libfreerdp2-devel-2.0.0-0.3.20170419git
* libwinpr2_2-2.0.0-0.3.20170419git
* libwinpr2-devel-2.0.0-0.3.20170419git

FreeRDP is a successor to rdesktop, a longtime-favored application for use 
on *nix systems to access Windows servers and workstations. The goal of 
FreeRDP is twofold: a more complete support of keyboard layouts; and 
support of newer Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) features found in the 
Windows 6.0 (Vista/2008) and newer environments.

This is an update to a more recent snapshot.

How to debug XWin starting only sometimes?

[Leon Meier]

When starting "XWin Server" though the windows shortcut, it sometimes 
won't start; other times it will.


The shortcut command line is

C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe --quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "cd; exec 
/usr/bin/startxwin"


which is executed in directory cygwin64.

The current contents of .xsession-errors is

[
** Message: couldn't connect to dbus session bus: Verbindung ist geschlossen
** Message: couldn't connect to dbus session bus: Verbindung ist geschlossen
** Message: couldn't connect to dbus session bus: Verbindung ist geschlossen
Socket /tmp/fam-admin/fam- has wrong permissions
]

As you can imagine, the directory /tmp/fam-admin contains no files at all.

Starting startxwin from mintty actually succeeds (always or at least 
more often than starting through the shortcut).


The only suspicious lines found in /var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log are

[  1106.609] pixelFormat 36: has 1 overlay, 0 underlays which aren't 
currently handledgetAttrValue failed to find attr 0x2039, using default

In /var/log/xwin/XWin.1.log we see

In /var/log/xwin/XWin.1.log.old we see

[  1583,187] winMultiWindowXMsgProcErrorHandler - ERROR: BadMatch

Any hints who may be the culprit and/or how to debug the issue?

Thanks in advance,
Leon

The TZ value doesn't matter.

$ TZ=America/New_York date +%Z
EDT

$ TZ=EDT date +%Z
GMT

This may be a problem in: 

winsup/cygwin/localtime.cc

not properly handling POSIX time zone specs in the S hemisphere, with DST 
which starts in autumn/fall and ends in spring, at the start of the time_t 
epoch, where the first DST transition happens with negative time_t. 

Neither localtime nor mktime on Cygwin properly handle these rules where 
both localtime and mktime on Linux do - STC and sdiff attached. 

On Linux, even if you comment out the localtime call, mktime sets the 
offset correctly; on Cygwin even using localtime and mktime fails to set 
the offset at 1970-01-01 correctly. 

Cygwin awk strftime also shows the same issue where Linux is also correct.

This is just a slight difference in handling POSIX time zone specs 
with no explicit offset specified - the basic format is std offset. 
If you provide only a std abbr with no offset, Cygwin defaults to 
GMT, where Linux uses the abbr and sets the offset to zero. Both 
behave identically if you specify a +-offset:

$ TZ=XXX date +"%F %a %R%z(%Z)"; TZ=XXX0 date +"%F %a %R%z(%Z)"
2017-05-01 Mon 17:13+(GMT)
2017-05-01 Mon 17:13+(XXX)
$ ssh ... 'TZ=XXX date +"%F %a %R%z(%Z)"; TZ=XXX0 date +"%F %a %R%z(%Z)"'
2017-05-01 Mon 17:13+(XXX)
2017-05-01 Mon 17:13+(XXX)

depends whether you prefer to see the same answer or the smart answer ;^>

I don't see an update announcement for SQLite beyond this one, but its
now at 3.18.0-1 and the readline library was *NOT* compiled into it,
so there's no decent command line editing.  I backed mine out to
3.16.2-1, but whomever is maintaining this, it would be nice if
readline was included and a new release of 3.18 was made.

Thanks!!

This has been my experience as well. Not much recently, but now and then the 
black X appears, but the xdg-menu does not. Kill everything, start over, and it 
works. I don't use the start menu X shortcut, only mintty, then startxwin.
