Re: Can't use key authentication on x64 Server 2003 R2

For the time being, I've reinstalled Cygwin 1.5 on the problematic 
host.  It still works as well as it ever did.

Odd. I must have forgotten to actually upload it. Fixed.

Thanks for the headsup.

Help on configuring keyboard on Cygwin/x on Windows XP

The situation is this: I _sadly_ have Windows XP on this laptop only 
because i must. My employer requires it :-(

I installed Cygwin and Cygwin/X. I was thrilled to see that emacs& 
started out in its own X11 window with the great graphic logo 
introduction and clickable menus. So that part works fine.

But I have trouble setting the keyboard mapping for Emacs and xterm.

It may have got something to do with xmodmap. But I can't figure out how.

I prefer that Emacs accepts input from my Faroese keyboard, or at least 
Danish if need be. Whatever I do, the US keyboard mapping is in effect 
always. How do I change that? I mean, for every X11 application?

Oh good.  1.5 must be the new b20.

Build_WinSup fails

Hi All,

Why does the attached Build_WinSup bash script fai?

I suspect it has something to do with unable to remove temporary files.

I have attached the make.out file.

I have also attached the output of

cygcheck -s -r -v  > cygcheck.out 2> cygcheck_2.out

I believe the problem reported in cygcheck_2.out is a separate issue

Yours Sincerely Stephen Grant Brown

  Speaking of rearing, and ugly heads, reminds me of something, I'm not quite

bash process substitution hangs with ssh


Running the following command:
   cat <(ssh remotemachine cat remotefile)
*hangs* on cygwin bash while working on linux bash.

Note though that even on cygwin, the individual pieces seem to work, i.e.:
   ssh remotemachine cat remotefile> 
and
   cat <(cat localfile)
both work.

But combining the two fails.

Any thoughts on what may be wrong here?

Note typo above. Should be:
    ssh remotemachine cat remotefile

Re: bash process substitution hangs with ssh


The problem also seems to affect named pipes:
i.e.
$ mkfifo mypipe
$ ssh remotemachine cat remotefile > mypipe
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

But....
$ cat localfile > mypipe
works

(note in both cases I read the pipe in another terminal using: cat < mypipe)

Re: bash process substitution hangs with ssh


OK I got it to work by using 'ssh -n' since I guess otherwise it was waiting
to read from stdin.
Not sure though why it works without '-n' in Linux...
