Restarting windows does not work. The logs in my home directory C:/
cygwin/home/ingunawa/.terminator/logs are all empty. Whenever I
deleted the terminator shortcut on Desktop, reinstalling the msi file
does not recreate the shortcut.
I am also wondering whether in addition to tabs, I can have the split
windows in this terminator in the future?
Thanks.

We've had this before.
...
Here:
http://groups.google.com/group/terminator-users/browse_thread/thread/22e1d19f5208d7f9
Cygwin 1.7.0-63 was broken. Cygpath required cygstdc++-6.dll to be installed, which it isn't by default.
1.7.0-64 was fine.
My main system is fine too. Even after upgrade to:
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 vm-martind 1.7.1(0.218/5/3) 2009-12-07 11:48 i686 Cygwin
$
Note the absence of any "++":
$ ldd `which cygpath`
ntdll.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/ntdll.dll (0x7c900000)
kernel32.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/kernel32.dll (0x7c800000)
cygwin1.dll => /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll (0x61000000)
ADVAPI32.DLL => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/ADVAPI32.DLL (0x77dd0000)
RPCRT4.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/RPCRT4.dll (0x77e70000)
Secur32.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/Secur32.dll (0x77fe0000)
SHELL32.DLL => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/SHELL32.DLL (0x7c9c0000)
GDI32.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/GDI32.dll (0x77f10000)
USER32.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/USER32.dll (0x7e410000)
msvcrt.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/msvcrt.dll (0x77c10000)
SHLWAPI.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/SHLWAPI.dll (0x77f60000)
$
So I'm baffled by your problem. Perhaps you could send similar uname -a and ldd `which cygpath` output.

Manually sabotaged installations aren't supported. If I were you, I'd go to Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, remove all trace of Terminator, then try reinstalling from the .msi.

The short answer is "no". If you want split windows, you might want to look at http://www.tenshu.net/terminator/, but I expect you know about that already, as you wrote "this terminator". The two projects called Terminator are completely independent. In particular, this Terminator isn't intended to be a reimplementation of "the other Terminator". According to the guy behind "the other Terminator", we actually had the name first, but he didn't realize at the time.

Originally, I never intended to upgrade but the cygwin kept
complaining that the init file has changed on the sites I selected
when I used the cygwin version 1.5.x setup.exe.
Thus, I was forced to download new setup.exe as suggested by the
error. I followed the manual step as on cygwin web site post the
upgrade on http://www.cygwin.com/ see below:
Please note that the update from Cygwin 1.5.x to Cygwin 1.7.x might
require some manual changes afterwards. Most notably the mount point
storage has been moved out of the registry into files. User mount
points are NOT copied into the new user-specific /etc/fstab.d/$USER
file. Rather, every user has to call the /bin/copy-user-registry-fstab
shell script once after the update. PLEASE read the new User's Guide
before upgrading your Cygwin installation to 1.7. You're avoiding
trouble.
After the update, I started getting the error with Terminator. I
checked the extra I installed in Cygwin. Just to make sure I ran this
below:
...\setup.exe -q -P inetutils,ncurses,openssh,perl,python,ruby
Did you do any other manual changes to update to Cygwin 1.7.x on your
system?
I followed your suggestion. I removed Terminator from Add/Remove
Programs. Then I reinstalled Terminator but I am still getting the
same problem.
Note:
When I was using google chrome earlier it can't detect java though I
have a copy of jre I installed manually. Google Chrome asked me to
install java. So the C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 is a new one I
installed.
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin>java -version
java version "1.6.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
Do I have to resort to last alternative of cleaning up cygwin and
install cygwin 1.7.1 from scratch?
Thanks.

Did you do anything manual post upgrade to cygwin 1.7.x on your
system?
Originally I never intended to upgrade. However with the cygwin 1.5.x
setup.exe I downloaded I can't no longer able to install anything new
from remote sites (initialization file being too old can't be parsed
and it requires a new setup.exe).
I did this manual step post-upgrade as instructed on http://www.cygwin.com/
below:
Please note that the update from Cygwin 1.5.x to Cygwin 1.7.x might
require some manual changes afterwards. Most notably the mount point
storage has been moved out of the registry into files. User mount
points are NOT copied into the new user-specific /etc/fstab.d/$USER
file. Rather, every user has to call the /bin/copy-user-registry-fstab
shell script once after the update.
I followed your advice to uninstall Terminator cleanly via Windows'
Add or Remove Programs.
Is this JRE problem?
My JRE used:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin>./java --version
'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin>java -version

To resolve, I eventually deleted my ~/.terminator directory and

lose. Hope this is helpful.

I don't suppose you know what the security was on the file in question (ie //fileshare1/homeshares2/canders2/.terminator/terminator-server-port_0.secret) or how it got like that?
> I actually just renamed (not deleted) my .terminator directory
Ah, that warms the cockles of my heart on a cold Monday morning.
What happens if you do:
chmod 0600 .term_backup/terminator-server-port_0.secret
Like:
martind@whitewater:~/tmp$ ls -l badger
-rw-rw-r-- 1 martind software 0 2010-01-11 11:39 badger
martind@whitewater:~/tmp$ chmod 0600 badger
martind@whitewater:~/tmp$ ls -l badger
-rw------- 1 martind software 0 2010-01-11 11:39 badger
martind@whitewater:~/tmp$
It'd be odd to get a permission denied error on a file that you appear to own.
This is an interesting error code, when Cygwin tries to open the file "for backup intent":
3443 1052180 [main] chmod 2876 fhandler_base::open: C0000022 = NtCreateFile (0x0, E0100, \??\UNC\fileshare1\homeshares2\canders2\.terminator\terminator-server-port_0, io, NULL, 0, 7, 1, 4000, NULL, 0)
There are quite a few Google matches for that, suggesting "the application failed to initialize properly" is often caused by installation problems with various programs. Anti-virus programs crop up a few times. They have a bad rep in the Cygwin community.
Although perhaps this is where the real failure happens:
2535 947970 [main] chmod 2876 fhandler_base::open: (\??\UNC\fileshare1\homeshares2\canders2\.terminator\terminator-server-port_0, 0x110000)
94218 1042188 [main] chmod 2876 seterrno_from_win_error: /ext/build/netrel/src/cygwin-1.7.1-1/winsup/cygwin/fhandler.cc:593 windows error 5
3398 1045586 [main] chmod 2876 geterrno_from_win_error: windows error 5 == errno 13
I wonder what the file's security really is. Although I don't really understand its output, I'm tempted to suggest:
getfacl .term_backup/terminator-server-port_0.secret
Perhaps I'd be a little better off with cacls:
cacls '\\fileshare1\homeshares2\canders2\.terminator\terminator-server-port_0.secret'
Mind, this doesn't look like it's Terminator's fault. It looks like a configuration thing or an interoperability issue between Cygwin 1.7 and whatever's serving \\fileshare1\homeshares2\canders2. I'd be interested to learn what sort of box that is. A network trace of it failing to chmod might also be useful.

I can imagine. I'm still curious about the security on the file in question, if you're motivated enough to run that cacls or getfacl command. A comparison with the newly created and presumably working file would be interesting too, as I guess the hypothesis of record is that Cygwin 1.7 didn't want to chmod a file created by Cygwin 1.5, on a bog-standard Windows file server.
The additional explicit granting of "Full control" to "canders2" looks like a good bet for the active ingredient. Yet the Windows security model implicitly grants the owner the right to modify the discretionary access control list, so there should be no need for this access control entry in order to chmod. I don't seem to get that Ace, nor need it to be able to chmod, with Cygwin 1.7, a file created by Cygwin 1.5 in a directory secured with inheritable Windows group security. I haven't tried with, well, any version of Windows as the remote server, let alone the right version, and there might well be some difference between our accounts regarding privilege to open "with intent to back up". Oh well, now there's a clue in the googlotron for someone else to pick up the trail, in the unlikely event that they're interested.
Thanks,
