Re[2]: Latest Setup.exe Fails (Win2k)

[Pavel Tsekov]

Hello Lee,

1. Which is the mirror that you were using when setup.exe
hung ? From your description of the problem its not quite
clear.

2. Are you doing install from internet or from local directory ?
Or maybe it was just a download only run ?

3. Please supply the listing of your download directory contents
and also of the subdirectory inside your download dir, which has the
name of the mirror you were trying to use. Do not do a recursive
listing i.e. use "dir" and not "dir /s".

I've tried several mirrors, one at a time.

 From the Internet.

In two cases, my package dirs contain just setup.ini.

In one case, I have etc, which contains three files: last-cache,
timestamp, and last-mirror. The latter contains just the URI:
ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/sources.redhat.com/pub/cygwin

Another case is the same, with the URI being:
ftp://ftp.ccp14.dl.ac.uk/ccp14/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin

Another case:
ftp://ftp.nas.nasa.gov/mirrors/cygwin.com/pub/cygwin

In every case, the systsem hangs with the dialogue box saying
"This space intentionally blank" (or such) and the window is shown
as "Not responding"  in Windows' task manager, with 100%  use
of a 1400 mhz CPU.

Thanks - HTH

I hate to chime in with a "me too" but I saw this behavior once myself
while debugging setup.  I was quite excited that I could finally duplicate
the problem but I couldn't break out the hung executable in the debugger
and, after killing the process, I could never duplicate the problem
again.

These are very minor data points but I thought I'd share them.

Re[3]: Latest Setup.exe Fails (Win2k)

[Lee Goddard]

Well, I had deleted it; but in another case, I have this,
going with WIn2k defaults:

C:\cygwin\etc\setup\last-cache
C:\cygwin\etc\setup\last-mirror
C:\cygwin\etc\setup\timestamp
C:\cygwin\var\log\setup.log
C:\cygwin\var\log\setup.log.full

I'm happy to send the logs if you wish.
One note, in the latter log:

         ftp > error
         ftp > error
         get_url_to_membuf failed!

Re[4]: Latest Setup.exe Fails (Win2k)

[Pavel Tsekov]

Hello Lee,

On the 4th setup page (screen) you are prompted for "Local Package
Directory". I am interested of the contents of the directory you
entered on that screen and in any subdirectories of the above
directory which loook like URLs.

Sorry - here it is (only have on instance left):

Local package dir is "packages".
Contains one dir:
"ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.nas.nasa.gov%2fmirrors%2fcygwin.com%2fpub%2fcygwin"
Contains one file, "setup.ini"

Attached.

Thanks for your help!

I was perturbed by this, or something similar, but found that there was 
separate window open displaying the usual selection box. This window was 
buried underneath other windows lying around on my desktop and IIRC 
wasn't easy to switch to.

Sorry, thought you may have seen last week's mails.
The situation is identical, all exec pt that I'm now using
the latest Setup.exe downlaoded from the CYGWIN homepage.
Claims to be version 2.218.2.9.

Problem is that the program runs, downloads a list of mirrors,
and then says "This space left intentionally blank" (or similar)
and then hangs, using 100% CPU.

Doesn't matter which mirror I use, if I'm not told that my setup.exe
is newer than theirs, then the above problem.

Last run, it created a directory for 'local packages':
ftp%3a%2f%2fmirrors.umbc.edu%2fpub%2fcygwin

This has just setup.ini in it, which is 2367 lines long
including the final blank line. Last two lines marked @
are 'zlib' and '_update-info-dir'.  Not attaching the file
incase the whole list doesn't want it.

A dir, CYGWIN, is created (in the default place) containing
three sub-dirs: etc, packages, var.   The first of those contains
a dir named setup: this contains last-cache, last-mirror and
timestamp files. The cygwin/packages dir contains a dir:
ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.nas.nasa.gov%2fmirrors%2fcygwin.com%2fpub%2fcygwin
that includes a file setup.ini -- I'm surprised that there are
two setup.ini files... Anyway, /cygwin/var contains setup.log
and setup.log.full.

Setup.log.full says:

         2002/05/24 19:12:00 Starting cygwin install, version 2.218.2.9
         2002/05/24 19:12:00 Current Directory: C:\Documents 
and                 Settings\Administrator\Desktop
         2002/05/24 19:12:02 source: network install
         2002/05/24 19:12:03 root: C:\cygwin binary system
         2002/05/24 19:13:11 Ending cygwin install

There is no "C:\cygwin binary system" dir on my dirve,
I've never typed those letters, but I know nothing about this
setup system: all was all fine when I last installed CYGWIN
a couple of years ago.

I'm running an AMD Athalan 1400, Win2k SP2.

Anything else I can do to help track this down, please
let me know!

Thanks for reading!
Lee

You dont give any details... What is the version string of your
setup.exe (it's on the first page)... Where does it fail ?
What steps do you choose to make it crash ?

LG> Do I need an INTEL or something horrible?

Nope!

Latest Setup.exe Fails (Win2k)

[Lee Goddard]

I sent in some mails last week about the CYGWIN setup.exe failing.
I notice the EXE has been updated, but my situation is still exactly
the same.

Do I need an INTEL or something horrible?


Just to let you know,
Thanks

Latest Setup.exe Fails (Win2k)

[Lee Goddard]

Hi there.

The latest setup.exe fails on my system: 100% CPU indefinetly
and all the screen says is something like 'this space intentionally blank.'
I've tried 10 different mirrors, it downloads something from them
Itelling me if it can't or if the setup.ini is out of date in relation to 
the exe).
This is the latest seup.exe from cygwin.com.

My system:

Windows 2000 Service pack 2, all MS updates installed.
AMD Athalon @ 1400 mhz
WinForce GeForce3
260,000 kb RAM

Any advice appreciated.
