Should have added: the file /var/log/setup.log shows no detail beyond 2023/10/21 09:29:46 running: G:\console64\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile "/etc/postinstall/xinit.sh" 2023/10/21 09:29:49 abnormal exit: exit code=3
-----Original Message----- I made a new installation of Cygwin 64 on a new USB stick, including the package xinit. (I use setup -P followed by a longish but far from complete list of required packages ..,..,xinit,..,..) At this first use of setup I got a single error message: Package: _/xinit xinit.sh exit code 3 At 2nd and all subsequent uses of setup (i.e. as update) I get the slightly altered error message: Package: _/Unknown package xinit.sh exit code 3 In practice, any usage of xinit (e.g. to launch xterm) seems to work perfectly well, but the repeated error message at any update transaction (including when empty) is disconcerting. I have not tried an explicit command "bash (or dash) /etc/postinstall/xinit.sh" as - even if this worked - I would prefer to canvass opinion on this minor glitch. All the same - the glitch is recent, despite being minor .. .. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
