xinit requires util-linux which requires perl
...and I'm trying to compute in a perl-free environment. Yes, really. Is there some way the packages could be reworked so that an X-related install or update doesn't try to pull in perl? It gets tiresome having to uncheck util-linux and perl every time I update my set of machines with setup.exe.

Vista: no copy/paste X -> MS
Running Cygwin 1.5 on Vista I cannot copy from an X window (xterm) and paste into a Windows app (notepad). I use the left mouse button to select in the xterm and Edit->Paste in notepad. Copying from note pad and pasting into either an xterm or into nedit works just fine. (And, on Windows XP, I can copy and paste in both directions just fine.) Thought you might want to know. Cygcheck.out is attached.

Bug: xinit: XWin Server shortcut won't work if Cygwin not in C:
Bug description: X Win Server shortcut won't work if Cygwin not in C drive To reproduce: 1. Install Cygwin/X in a drive other than C: (say D:) 2. Try starting the x server using the Start Menu -> Cygwin-X Nothing will happen. Reason: The shortcut 'XWin Server' runs the command - \bin\run.exe /usr/bin/startxwin.bat However, it doesn't provide a "Start in" directory. The default "Start in" is in C:, and the above command for some reason needs to be executed in the same in a working directory on the same drive where Cygwin is installed. Solution/Workaround: Change/Set the "Start in" value in the 'XWin Server' shortcut, to the drive where you installed Cygwin (say "D:\"). Note: Both the machines I tested this in, already had Cygwin/X11R6 installed. I got this problem (and a couple of issues of missing Adobe and ISO8859 fonts - but that's a different problem) when I upgraded from X116 to X117. I haven't tried a fresh install, but I don't see a reason why that would behave differently. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
