Solved: the new i xfig version uses urw fonts that the server cannot find. A soft link in /etc/X11/fontpath.d/ is missing: xorg-x11-fonts-urw -> /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/ I think that this link should be included in the next version of the xorg server RM -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
Windows 10/Cygwin setup.exe error - IO Error Opening File:
I am a new Windows 10 user and am trying to install Cygwin for the first time (no prior Cygwin installation experience). I didn't find similar questions asked either on Cygwin or on StackOverflow. Here is the problem: 1. Running Windows 10 Version 1607 (OS Build 14393.51) on a new laptop with lots of disk space. My account has administrator privileges. 2. Downloaded setup-x86_64.exe (version 2.874) from https://cygwin.com/install.html. 3. Turned off firewall (McAfee LiveSafe) before running setup.exe. (Just in case it helps; I am still running ByteFence) 4. Using http://cygwin.mirror.constant.com (I have tried others and tried using multiple mirrors at once) 4. I am accepting all the default packages plus some basic developer stuff (gdb, make) and check "Select required packages (RECOMMENDED)". 5. Cygwin setup works for maybe a minute and then gives the first of many, many pop-up messages "IO Error Opening file._autorebase/binutils/cygwin/grep/mintty etc. Do you want to skip this package?" When I browse to indicated directory I find a *.tmp file in that location (e.g. base-files-4.2-4.tar.xz.tmp 44KB) and that the full file was never fully downloaded. I can abort setup.exe with the TaskManager and then re-run it again and sometimes get a little bit further before getting the "IO Error Opening file" message but, so far, I am unable to install an operable Cygwin. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Jenny PS: I have recently installed several unrelated programs from the Internet without incident (e.g. git bash, notepad++). -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Re: Cygwin Xwin Windows 10 Trend Micro
Thanks, Paul. I have been dealing with something somewhat similar, in which one of Trend Micro's enterprise products is preventing Emacs from linking to its DLLs. Still working with the IT group to see exactly what we need to open up to get past that. Fingers crossed that updates will address it.

Cygwin Xwin Windows 10 Trend Micro
Trend Micro support called me back about this issue. I spent some time with them on the phone, with the support engineer trying a few things. We ended up with a reinstall of the https://esupport.trendmicro.com/en-us/home/pages/technical-support/maximum-s ecurity/1112161.aspx hotfix, after which Cygwin-X runs fine, WITHOUT having the pause user mode checking turned on. The support engineer mentioned something about an update coming out *after* my previous post. Apparently I needed both the update and the hotfix to make things work. Hope this helps someone...

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: znc-1.6.3-2
Version 1.6.3-2 of "znc" has been uploaded. ZNC is an IRC network bouncer (BNC). It can detach the client from the actual IRC server, and also from selected channels. Multiple clients from different locations can connect to a single ZNC account simultaneously and therefore appear under the same nickname on IRC. It supports SSL secured connections and IPv6. This is rebuild of the package for libicu57. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Andrey Repin wrote: The problem is not the lists or subscription. The problem is that you are using gmail web interface. It's hopelessly broken and is unlikely to be fixed any time soon. --- While it's possible the gmail web interface can be misconfigured, I find that it usually redirects replies consistently with what I'm wanting. Though, of note -- I'd have to test as I don't usually use the gmail interface, it's _probable_ that if you hit 'reply' to a user in the gmail-lists interface, that it will reply to the group instead of to the user. There have been different interfaces on google for reading 'email' and those interfaces have changed over time. But at some point, for example, simply hitting reply might go to the group in the google-lists interface, but would go to a single user in the mail (not list) interface. Lists are built on top of the email interface, and different email readers don't always use the same conventions for these things -- often because people want different behaviors in different situations. How a list is displayed, or if it is displayed as a list at all, is determined by your email reader. References are used by email-processing software to allow the display of 'threaded conversations'. Reference headers headers in email are usually hidden because they intended to be read and added by the software -- not by users. Since I don't use gmail as my primary email client, I'm not familiar with all of its configuration options -- but the best thing to do is to look at the help for the software you are using to read & write emails to users and to groups. I find that thunderbird's interface works best for me so I have my gmail address(es) set to forward email to my ISP user address. Then I have thunderbird set to use send emails out to specific addresses and/or use different from-addresses based on where the responded-to email came from. In all of these cases, though they take a while to get used to -- and you have to keep up with changes in your software. I don't know, but I don't think cygwin is hosted as a google group, in which case, at the bottom of each email are directions for help and questions specific to cygwin: Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Good luck! -Linda -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
