I recently downloaded Processing 2.2.1 and when I tried to add a programming mode through the menu on the right side, I got a java.net.SocketException: Network is unreachable even though I can obviously connect to the internet, and an error message at the bottom of the "Add Modes" popup that said could not find listof available contributions instead of a list of the modes. I know that some modes can be manually downloaded and unzipped but I have yet to find a .zip file for the Python mode. Is it possible to fix this error so that I can download the modes through the GUI box and if so, how?
I had previously downloaded it for my Linux machine which runs Ubuntu and everything worked fine there but I was trying to migrate everything to my Windows 32 bit so I just re-downloaded it today for windows and got this error.

Trying to update my 32-bit Cygwin install on a Windows 10 64-bit fresh install and every setup-x86 I have tried fails with errors.
I had it all working on my old system, which was a Windows 7 upgrade to Windows 10. My 3rd party SDK with Cygwin plus an upgrade was installed a good few years ago while on Windows 7 then did the Windows 10 upgrade thing. I could still compile my code for an embedded processor device with no errors after that.
But Microsoft corrupted my system with the last update (December 2022) so my system was unbootable and irreparable by any of their troubleshooting Advanced methods.
So I put a new hard drive in and installed windows 10 from scratch.
Two weeks later I have reinstalled much software but now I am at my SDK re-install and cannot get any Cygwin version to download.
I have a 3rd party SDK which instructs me to install their Cygwin first (version 1.5.18) then remove some environment variables, then go to http://www.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/Cygwin/timemachine.html and Follow the “Dead Simple Instructions" and go for "any version 2017 +".
After downloading the files I must copy the directory to my original install directory, thus upgrading the install.
I just cannot download anything though.
I went to that time machine page and was totally confused. I noticed they said "this is the last 32 bit install" on several places, so I tried clicking on all those setup-x86 links.
I tried running the downloaded setup-x86 files from the download directory but each one failed.
On most of the more recent setup-x86 files,(like 2.924) it shows a small blue square telling me Windows protected me etc. I click Run anyway and then it says "Cygwin is not supported on 32-bit windows".
So I tried earlier versions like 2.909 and they show the interface; I choose download, then choose the download directory ( a folder on my desktop) then I have tried both direct connection and use system proxy; then I select a mirror (tried all of them, I think) and it begins some action then stops with errors like:
"https:\cygwin.mirror.constant.com\x86\setup.ini line 12: The current ini file requires at least version 2.924 of setup. Please download a newer version from https://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe"
But I have already tried 2.924 and it gives the "Cygwin is not supported on 32-bit windows" error!
With setup-x86-2.874.exe, it shows the interface etc. but in the mirror list all I see is http://update.setup.invalid.
With 2.774 it does the interface then "Unable to get setup.ini from 'my selected mirror url'.
Then I tried that page https://cygwin.com/install.html#unsupported, where I tried the circa urls and did these from an Administrator command line, as they say. No good- errors.
Under "Dead Simple Instructions"(no they are not) I followed the link to the machine top level snapshot index, but each link their only gives a plain text list of files- nothing downloadable!
Anyway, copied a url link and then at step 4 it says click for setup-x86. So I did but that blue windows protection square appears. I say run anyway but then it says "Cygwin is not supported on 32-bit windows"!
I am at my wits end! It all worked fine on my old system until Microsoft ruined it with their updates.
How can I get a newer cygwin update for my v1.5, s the 3rd party instructions say???
Aha! I believe I have finally got this to work.
I just found a new release of the instructions for the 3rd party software SDK. They mention version 2.9.0 as the new version they are moving to.
I cannot access their download but I went back and read the Cygwin Time Machine page carefully again (http://www.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/Cygwin/timemachine.html).
Under "Dead Simple Instructions", I looked through the list of dates and versions (http://ctm.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/index.html) and found 2.9.0-1; surely close enough, eh?
So I copied the URL shown there.
Step 4 Run setup-x86.exe downloaded the setup file and Itried it from an Admin CMD prompt, adding the -X and -D switches. It failed with the 32 bit error, as before.
OK so I read again and near the bottom of the page I spotted "Cygwin Setup Archive".
Ah... I went to the link provided there (http://ctm.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/setup/setup.html) and found setup-x86-2.901.exe.
After it downloaded, I again used the command prompt to run this and an interface appeared.
I was able to choose the existing install directory, the temporary download directory and add the URL I had copied earlier.
It proceeded to get the list of packages correctly.
I then selected to view files that were installed but may need updating and clicked Next.
It all went correctly. Thanks to Doug who offered help already.
So there is a way to do this.
If anyone was looking for the solution, I found the answer in the Cygwin mailing list. You must launch the setup-x86.exe (setup-x86-2.924.exe) with the --allow-unsupported-windows option --site circa_URL arguments, much like the -X switch was used on prior legacy installers to disable signature checking. circa_URL here is a mirror of legacy repos for Cygwin, where http://ctm.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/2022/11/23/063457 is the suggested url in the mailing listing post.
Apparently, if you are on a true x86, non-64-bit, Windows OS, this flag is not necessary, though I think the repo mirror may be required.
I have a relatively new PC on Windows 11, 22 h2, the latest. I have been down multiple paths trying to get localhost to open on this PC. I searched to see if my edition blocks it, but have found no such problem documented.
Following this frustration, and as a throwing up my hands experience, I said fine, I will install Xampp if it's going to act like that.
Immediate upon clicking the exe file (xampp-windows-x64-8.1.10-0-VS16-installer.exe), windows throws a warning, and gives two choice, Run anyway or Don't run. The blue background screen has these words:
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.
I never saw this in Windows 10 with my old PC. Why now?
App:
xampp-windows-x64-8.1.10-0-VS16-installer.exe

I've been a happy user of MobaXterm for years, this is a great terminal and X-window manager on Windows to access Linux machine and others. Recently, possibly since I upgraded to Windows 11 or changed laptop, I sometimes get the following error window:
An error occurred while starting the following MobaXterm subprocess:
"%APPDATA%\MobaXterm\slash\bin\MobaSCPRinew.exe"
Access is denied
I could not figure out which action is triggering this error but it is pretty rare and seems to happen either when I switch from one tab to another or when I unlock my computer after a while but I can't reproduce it systematically. I'm using MobaXterm Personal Edition v22.0 Build 4858.
This executable exists on my system and the file properties mention that this is a "Command-line SCP/SFTP client". However, even after the error, the SSH Browser available in the side bar (provided you only show one tab) is still visible and working.
Does anybody know what could be causing this?
Thanks
[EDIT]
I contacted the support of MobaXterm:
they told me it is a known bug related to the "Remote Monitoring" feature, which can display stats about memory, disk usage, connected users,...
advised me to test the preview version 22.2 since the bug seems fixed in that release
I used it for a few days and the issue never happened. I will download the latest official release 22.1 and, if it happens also in that one, will wait for the official 22.2. I will close this issue once the bug is fixed in an official release.
Same issue here, with some slight differences:
Location seems to be the "Documents" folder of my "Onedrive":
E:\OneDrive - xyz\Documents\MobaXterm\slash\bin\MobaSCPRinew.exe"
I use the "professional edition" with the same license ID, so I suppose technically it is the same software.
Issue only popped up till now after a reboot of my system, launching the MobaXterm and subsequently starting an ssh session.
Restarting MobaXterm only (once) didn't produce the issue.
I now upgraded to 22.1. Since the release notes do not mention anything concerning this issue, I can't know for sure the problem will be solved. I'll report back when it reoccurs.

I want to install Cygwin on Windows 8.1 64bit but got no success using any variant.
I tried:
1) I downloaded fresh setup-x86_x64 from cygwin site and then tried to install from Internet but got empty mirror list.
2) The I tried manually add mirror from https://cygwin.com/mirrors.lst (this file accessible from my computer) but got "unable to get setup.ini" error.
3) then I tried to download WHOLE package manually from one of the mirrors (all mirrors normally accessible from my computer via FTP or HTTP) to setup from local package. When I downloaded all packages (about 30 Gigs) I ran setup with local package option. Package folder was scanned and I got list of categories. But there was no package in any category.
4) also I tried to run setup on my Windows 7 notebook. It got mirror list normally. Also I downloaded packages by setup program using my notebook, then transfered them to my Win 8.1 desktop, but the story was the same: I saw list of categories without packages. But on Win7 notebook I saw packages in categoies when I tried to install from the same directory.
5) Also I tried to turn off or even uninstall my firewall and antivirus software, but all results was the same.
6) I tried to run setup with administrator rights, tried to use different folders and HDD paths, tried to use x86 setup instead of x64 setup.
But nothing helped me.
Any ideas?
Define "didn't work". Post whatever error message the installer presents to you. Every little bit of information helps.
A common issue people experience while installing cygwin are outdated mirrors, i.e., websites who'd usually mirror the cygwin stack, but failed to keep it updated, which explains your issue regarding a missing/bad setup.ini file.
In any case, you most definitely would never want to actually download the entire cygwin stack, as it also includes past-, current-, and beta-versions.
As far as I know, "local installation" is a remnant of the days where one could acquire CDs containing the cygwin stack, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm trying to run blocs editor for app inventor. It's starting slowly and then returns message:
We could not download the starter application from the server in order to install it on the device. This may prevent the "Connect to Device" button from working.
This error can occur if you have tried to start the blocks editor with a previously downloaded ".jnlp" file.
I have installed last version of java, other java applications are working fine. How does make the block editor work?
There could be lots of reasons. Which browser are you using? Did you already try another?
Probably there is some kind blocking software running on your machine, perhaps a firewall. There have also been reports of this from misconfigured virus scanners.
You also might want to take a look at the troubleshooting page. If this does not help, post a question in the Getting Set Up and Connecting Your Phone to App Inventor forum.
