Potential Bug: Created files list owner/user exec until Windows reorders permissions

2024-05-23 Thread Ross Patterson via Cygwin
TL;DR: Weird permissions behavior in a Cygwin installation where permissions have been changed over time. I can't reproduce it on a clean install so that's how I'm working around it, but I thought it might be worth capturing what details I have in case it helps others or helps identify a bug. Afte

BUG: Log on Scheduled Task invisible/empty window blocks input

2023-01-26 Thread Ross Patterson via Cygwin
TL;DR: I needed to run a Cygwin process at user log on with highest privileges to perform some operations that are not allowed any other way without requiring a UAC prompt. This results in a window without any border, close button or any other decoration that is most often invisible/transparent, s

Cygwin Python/PIL TCL/TK fork rebase solution

2007-01-15 Thread Ross Patterson
I recently was forced to build PIL under Cygwin Python 2.4.3 and ran into the Cygwin fork/rebase issue with TCL/TK yet again. Unfortunately, none of the rebase workarounds I found through my copious STFWing worked this time. Through trial and error I found that the following worked: rebase -b 0x1
