After updating to High Sierra my p4 client no longer responds. I've tried removing uninstall (via brew) and reinstalling it and nothing seems to work. It seems to find the reference to p4 however the terminal just takes the command and does nothing. It Just moves to a newline. Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this? Thank you.
Are you sure the p4 binary you have is the p4 command line client and not some other tool with the same executable name?
Does p4 -V print the version information?
Is it possible that there's a password prompt somewhere on the desktop asking you for authorization to run this unapproved executable?

I am no longer able to run node from the git bash terminal. It works from Git CMD and the standard windows CLI. If I try to run a file (e.g. node index.js) or even just start node via node, I go back to the input prompt except now I can't see any of my character inputs.
This is not a result of PATH not being set, as where node gives me C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe and which node gives me /c/Program Files/nodejs/node and echo $PATH does have /c/Program Files/nodejs included.
If I type another command (such as ls), it actually will work even though I will continue to not be able to see my input.
I think this problem arose after the latest Windows 10 OS update was pushed to my system (10.0.17763). I've tried reinstalling Git for Windows and Node, and neither have resolved the issue. I can't find any other settings that might be affecting this.
Using Git CMD or Windows CLI is a workaround, but neither of those have a "Git Bash Here" option, which is the #1 thing I want this for. It is also nice that I get the visual indication of branch in Git Bash where I do not get that with Git CMD or the Windows CLI.
I don't need or want to use Git GUI, and besides that won't allow me to run local node files which I need to do for testing.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get Git Bash working with node again?
UPDATE: By running stty -a after node fails, I see that echo has flipped to -echo, which is why I can't see the input anymore. But that doesn't explain why node isn't loading and echo is getting turned off. Hoping that gives someone some additional context to figure out what's going on here. brkint, icrnl, ixon, opost, isig, and icanon are also getting flipped to the - versions after attempting to run node.
There are 2 possible workarounds (based on what your problem is) that I have tried-
Enter node first of all:
1) Try typing in reset and hit enter. You may not be able to see the input logging in, in the bash terminal window, but it works after that.
2) Or try typing any random alphabet and hit enter(again you won't see it on the screen),it will throw a 'command not found' error but you will have node working after this.
I am afraid these aren't exactly proper fixes, but they get the job done.

I am from Mac background trying my hand at installing perforce client visual(P4V) on my linux box.For this I download the correct version here and untar the files.
Then I cd to the directory
~/Desktop/p4v-2012-blah-blah/bin
I also say
chmod +x p4*
After this i try running p4v (by double clicking) but I dont see anything .The file type is shown as a "text executable" but i dont know why it is not running.
On mac i had done the same thing -just clicked on p4v and the client would show up(where I filled the server address and everything )But not sure what is going wrong here.Can someone give me directions?
FWIW i did check out this link
and I do see the desktop (so GNOME is probably installed ?) .Hence p4v should be able to run.
I know we don't like link-based answers, but there is a rather complete walk-through here: http://www.perforce.com/documentation/tenminute-test-drive-linuxunix
Probably should be on Super User though.
You may have a 64bit Linux and tried to install a x86 P4V or vice versa, which is why the command doesn't run. Check that the OS and app types match.
I recently reinstalled Cygwin on my computer in order to get access to several command line elements that I was missing. I have never had previous difficulty with Cygwin, but after this reinstallation, an error message continues to appear after (almost) each command entered. For instance:
-bash-4.1$ wc m1.txt
3 [main] bash 2216 child_info_fork::abort: data segment start: parent(0x26D000) != child(0x38D000)
-bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
2013930 4027950 74968256 m1.txt
Generally, the command still runs (as seen above), but not always. Occasionally, the 'error' message occurs several times in a row (the initial number "3" will then change to a "4" or "2", notably if I start a second Cygwin window.
Also, as soon as I start up Cygwin, I get the following message before the prompt:
3 [main] bash 6140 child_info_fork::abort: data segment start: parent(0x26D000) != child(0x36D000)
-bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
-bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
-bash-4.1$
At the moment, I am debating whether to uninstall/reinstall Cygwin again or just live with the error messages, but I was curious if there might be an issue that I am unaware of.
(assuming Cygwin is installed at C:\Cygwin):
Open Task Manager and close any processes that look to be Cygwin related.
Open C:\Cygwin\bin in Windows Explorer
Verify that dash.exe, ash.exe, rebase.exe, and rebaseall exist in this folder
If any of them are missing, re-run Cygwin setup and select the dash, ash, and rebase packages
right-click your C:\Cygwin folder, uncheck Read-only (if its checked), and press OK.
When an error about not being able to switch some files comes up, select "Ignore All". Wait for this process to complete.
Browse to C:\Cygwin\bin in Windows Explorer
Right click dash.exe and click "Run as Administrator". A command Prompt should appear with nothing but a $
Type /usr/bin/rebaseall -v, hit enter, and wait for the process to complete.
If you get errors about Cygwin processes running, try Step 1 again. If that still doesn't work, Restart your computer into safe mode and try these steps again.
A commenter noted that, depending on your settings, you may have to type cd /usr/bin && ./rebaseall -v instead.
Try opening Cygwin again.
This process worked for me. I hope it works for you guys too.

I would like to add the following to the above answers, as it is what I had to do after reinstalling Cygwin:
Navigate to the "/usr/bin" directory (usually, C:\cygwin\bin) and right click, Run as Administrator the file: dash.exe
Then, at the $ prompt type the following, hitting enter after each line:
cd /usr/bin/
/usr/bin/peflags * -d 1
/usr/bin/rebaseall -v
What it does is, it marks the dll's as "rebase-able," and then rebases them. You have to have peflags.exe in addition to the above files (in previous answers). You may have to restart windows after doing this and you will definitely need to make sure that there are no processes nor services belonging to cygwin running. (Use task manager, kill any related processes, and then under the services tab look for any service starting with CYG and stop it.)
After doing this, I was able to get cygwin to run without any errors about dll's being loaded to the wrong addresses aka fork errors, etc.
I hope that this helps others, as it was a pain to find.
SOURCE: http://www.cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.using.fixing-fork-failures
and the rebase README file.
To add on to other answers here, we ran into the same issue but could not run the rebase command from the ash or dash shell. However, when launching the command from the Windows cmd shell, the following worked.
cmd /c "C:\cygwin64\bin\ash.exe /usr/rebaseall -v"
-v is to get verbose output
I found another information here :
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-02/msg00531.html
You have to delete the database at
/etc/rebase.db* and do in a "ash" windows :
peflags * -d 1
rebaseall
It works for me on 2 servers.
I solved this problem by restarting my computer. Probably installed a driver update and kept using sleep instead of shutting down.
Experienced the same issue when loading Cygwin with cygiconv-2.dll forking and not loading successfully in the Cygwin terminal, but after turning off my AntiVirus (it was specifically Ad-aware), the issue resolved, and Cygwin worked properly.
In case you are using babun's Cygwin, after rebaseall, try launching Cygwin by executing .babun\cygwin\cygwin.bat in a Windows command prompt or Windows explorer.
This works for me (while launching babun's default console - mintty results in fork error).
I had the error on win10 and i was trying to rebase to c: before install.
then i saw that the installer was installing it instead to c:/Users/myuser
so i was coping all files from c:/Users/myuser to c:.badun
and then restart plus open badun.bat
not shure if this was wise its now duplicated XD... but then it worked again.
Rebaseing didn't help in my case. In addition to what other people suggested, I noticed that reducing the length of PATH environment variable fixed the issue for me (and for other people as well as can be seen from this answer).
This issue is intermittent in nature & I found this issue when there is network is too slow to connect to remote machine on AWS.... I have Shell script that runs through Gitbash shell & it connects to AWS EC2 instance with ssh..... Most of the time, it ran correctly but 2 out 100 times it get into this issue bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable .... Killing the MSYS2 terminal from task manager helps to overcome with this issue....
Negative side is you need to run the scripts from the beginning...
I had the same issue on Windows 10 and the mobaxterm app (which uses cygwin) and I tried all of answers listed here however for me, the solution was to simply delete the "CryptoPro CSP" application.
I started facing this problem after upgrading to windows 10. As of now I do not see that any of the above method working.
What I am noticing is that if you start cygwin with admin right (right click and say "run as admin") then it works fine.
Or you open cmd as administrator and then launch cygwin from there, then also it runs fine.
Just reinstall cygwin and select TCL and activate EXPECT
This morning, I started getting that message when I attempt to open a file in Vim. Vim is my editor of choice for config files, git commit messages and the like, but is not my day to day code editor. I clearly did something to invite this message, but I have no idea what. I did recently uninstall an older version of XCode from /Developer-3.2.6, but that's the only thing that comes to mind that seems even tangentially related.
I'm running OSX Lion. Is Excuberant ctags part of the base install? I know I didn't install it intentionally, but if it's not native, then maybe it came along with something else? Any ideas about how to either get the plugin back or remove references to it so I don't get the warning message?
Thanks.
For Ubuntu and derivatives:
sudo apt-get install exuberant-ctags
With yum:
sudo yum install ctags-etags
FWIW I had the same error message on Ubuntu, I simply installed ctags and everything hunky dory. Thanks :)
That looks a lot like the message the taglist plugin emits when it can't find a ctags program. If you run :scriptnames, do you see plugin/taglist.vim in the list of sourced files? If you do, then you'll probably want to remove that and doc/taglist.txt under the same directory structure.
If you are using Gvim in a Windows system, you should download a ctag Windows program (that is ctag.exe) and put the ctag.exe in the vim74 file dir, then reboot Gvim, and it will find it and use it! I hope this is helpful.
Take a look at this: http://vim-taglist.sourceforge.net/installation.html
Thanks, guys. I ended up reinstalling XCode and it looks like the problem has gone away. I have no idea how I got it into whatever state it was in, but it's back now and everything looks to be back to normal.
I encountered the same issue after upgrading to Mountain Lion. I fixed it by reinstalling the CLI tools from XCode preferences > Downloads. I had the CLI tools installed before upgrading. Not sure what happened, but it works now.
I encountered this issue on a host, but I didn't have permission to install any packages.
But i did find out the gctags was present on that system.
I created a softlink for the gctags binary in a location that was included in my PATH environment variable.
$ln -s /usr/bin/gctags ~/bin/ctags**
You can do the same if you find etags binary in your system, and have no way to install any packages.
All of the sudden svn stopped working in cygwin installation on windows xp. when I execute svn binary, nothing happens, svn process does not even show up in the Task Manager. I've reinstalled svn but it did not help (the last resort would be to uninstall cygwin itself). Everything else in cygwin works fine: awk,python,sed,more,less,tail and etc.
here is what is happening ...
mt#s022 ~
$ which svn
/usr/bin/svn
mt#s022 ~
$ svn --version
mt#s022 ~
$ svn status
mt#s022 ~
$ svn info
mt#s022 ~
$
Same problem as well.
No solution, but here's an interesting thing: For me, "curl" and "wget" are also broken in exactly the same way. This makes me wonder if it is one of the underlying networking libraries (libcurl, or similar) that is at the root of the problem (total guess).
EDIT: I have solved this problem. The problem turned out to be what seems to have been a "bad" version of openssl. I used the Cygwin setup program to "Reinstall" OpenSSL. The version number in setup is now "0.9.8n" which seems to have replaced "0.9.8", which I suspect was a bad version that was temporarily distributed, so if you were unlucky enough to update at the wrong time then this is what you got. The new version doesn't seem to be installed automatically just by updating normally. I'm guessing 0.9.8 is seen as the same version as 0.9.8n.
In case this doesn't solve it for others: the key insight was gained by launching svn.exe from Windows Explorer. While it exits silently when run from the bash command line, when run from Windows Explorer it pops up a window complaining: "the procedure entry point pqueue_size could not be located in the dynamic link library cygcrypto-0.9.8.dll". This allowed me to identify OpenSSL as the culprit. The same might be possible for other problems that manifest as commands silently exiting when run from the bash terminal.
This is what I did:
net stop sshd (this is optional)
remove /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll
remove /usr/bin/cygcrypto-0.9.8.dll
run cygwin-setup
reinstall cygwin-base
Hope this helps.
Ran into this problem. It seemed to have started when I added one small package and left everything else as keep. Solution that worked: remove cygwin1.dll, run cygwin's setup.exe, keep everything except base->cygwin. Updating that updated cygwin1.dll, and all was fine again.
I had same issue.
I followed the suggestion above and tried to launch svn from the windows explorer and it turned out that I had a problem with cygwin1.dll itself.
Doing a reinstall of the cygwin package solved my problem
I had the same problem and upgrading/reinstalling the cygwin base classes didn't help me neither...
Until I disabled the "CYGWIN sshd" service.
Therefore, if you run the Cygwin sshd process, stop it first, before upgrading Cygwin.
Good luck!
