cygwin multi window and copy paste issues
Hello, I upgraded my cygwin packages to latest versions and unfortunately I did not back up previous versions and now nothing is working. I was hoping the new packages are atleast stable before they are released to the public. I used to be able to get multiple xterm window view using 'startx' but now either it keeps crashing or gives a bad single window interface. The copy paste (using mouse middle button) is no longer working between windows applications and xterm. This used to work. Can you tell me what I need to do to revert to a stable version which gives me the simple and stable features as before? thank you, Sam -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/cygwin-multi-window-and-copy-paste-issues-tp23909700p23909700.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Re: cygwin multi window and copy paste issues
someone please help me. I want to go back to the version which did this and worked fine. I have a lot of production stuff dependent on this and nothing is working from my new version. All I wanted to do was to install rsync and ended up reinstalling all this crap and now in a big mess. Can someone please tell me what I need to do in order to revert to the below version ?? $ startx Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 6.8.99.901-4 Contact: cygwin-xf...@cygwin.com XWin was started with the following command line: X :0 -multiwindow -clipboard _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root winValidateArgs - g_iNumScreens: 1 iMaxConsecutiveScreen: 1 (II) XF86Config is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information winDetectSupportedEngines - Windows NT/2000/XP winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw installed winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw4 installed winDetectSupportedEngines - Returning, supported engines 0007 winSetEngine - Multi Window or Rootless => ShadowGDI winAdjustVideoModeShadowGDI - Using Windows display depth of 32 bits per pixel winAllocateFBShadowGDI - Creating DIB with width: 1280 height: 800 depth: 32 winFinishScreenInitFB - Masks: 00ff ff00 00ff winInitVisualsShadowGDI - Masks 00ff ff00 00ff BPRGB 8 d 24 bpp 32 null screen fn ReparentWindow null screen fn RestackWindow InitQueue - Calling pthread_mutex_init -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/cygwin-multi-window-and-copy-paste-issues-tp23909700p23909962.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Re: cygwin multi window and copy paste issues
I keep getting this error: sj...@dksjdksj~ $ startx xauth: creating new authority file /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/samitj/.se rverauth.8172 giving up. xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. NOw if I start using this command: X :0 -multiwindow -clipboard I get the multiple windows. I dont get the copy paste between windows and unix applications. How do I enable this? Also, how do I disable the menu at the top of the xterm? Why is it crashing so often now? Has anyone tried Exceed is it more stable than this? I wish I never tried to upgrade to current version. I lost everything now..

Hi, what is the path separator in Cygwin for paths, classpaths etc.. this works... $ java -cp lib/matrix/matrix.jar com.test.matrix.simulation.SimulationApplication this fails.. $ java -cp lib/matrix/matrix.jar:bin/ com.test.matrix.simulation.SimulationApplication Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/test/matrix/simulation/SimulationApplication Can you please advise on this? thanks, Sam -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/path-separator-tp17704083p17704083.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Re: path separator
hmm... i thought cygwin emulates a unix shell in windows. $ echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdri. anyway, if i use a windows separator (;), it doesnt work and it considers it the end of the command as per unix shell behavior. dont know if u r trying to say something different, do u have a solution to make that work ?
