Re: X works, but xterm doesn't stay open


Ken,

Sounds like you have a generic Cygwin setup issue.

What you need to do is, from a Cygwin bash shell:

mkpasswd -d -u %my_user_name% >> /etc/passwd


This will append info for your domain user account to the /etc/passwd file. You need to do this for every domain user that will use Cygwin on that machine. Alternatively, you can leave off the -u and get a complete list of domain users.


You should also run the following to get a complete list of domain groups:

mkgroup -d >> /etc/passwd


I think that xterm has a problem with starting when your user account cannot be found. This likely explains your problem.

PS. A guy in the MSU CS Master's program said he was going to an internship for Intel in one validation group or another. Is your group in Oregon... I am pretty sure that is where he was heading?

I think I found part of the bug.  Does anyone know the maximum number of
users (ie the highest UID) Cygwin can handle before 'wrapping', specifically
in a domain environment?

Subject: X works, but xterm doesn't stay open




Hey all -
	I'm new to Cygwin.  I've searched the web for two days, and have

gone through the archives and FAQ without finding the answer to my issue.


I have the latest Cygwin 1.3.22-1, running on Windows 2000 Sp2.

I've installed all default items as well as a few others (like vim) and the full XFree subcategory. This is a fresh install.

The symptoms: The bash shell when launched form the desktop icon

works fine (mostly). It does say that "id: cannot find name for user ID 59893" and " I have no name!@<mycomputer> $ ". I don't know if this is a problem for xterm, since I've seen rumblings of a user/SID problem in the lists that's supposed to be fixed by a later release (which I have the latest), so I *guessing* that this is not an issue. (although if you know how to fix it, please let me know)

I used the default startxwin.bat to start X, and it came up and

initialized twm and I got the outline for xterm, but when I placed the window it disappeared. I started xterm again from within twm with the same result. I set the DISPLAY variable from the bash shell (launched from windows) and tried again with the same result.

So, I changed the startxwin.bat to start wmaker instead. I got the

same result with the xterm (opens and immediately closes). I'm able to run the calculator and prefrences windows in wmaker just fine, but xterm will not stay open from X or from the windows bash shell (making this slightly different symptoms than I've seen already in the list archives).

There are no error messages or error files for me to analyze (that I

can find anyway). Any idea what's going on? I've posted the Xwinrl.log and the setup.log below.
