Re: Issues with Copy Paste
How are you copying? Which application are you copying from? (Shell/vim etc...)

Re: How do I start WM?
KDE, since version 4, is being developed for windows independently of cygwin.

Thanks, Ken Wolcott i've not checked to see if KDE or any of it's components is/are available as part of the cygwin X stuff (when I use a heavyweight desktop environment i use gnome). a quick search on KDE at the package search page of cygwin lists nothing, while a search on gnome lists quite a few. someone with more knowledge will have to advise you -- 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/ -- Regards, -- 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/
Changing interactive shell from Bash to Zsh
Hi! I am having trouble changing my shell from Bash to Zsh. Since there is no chsh, I have tried adding exec zsh -l to .bashrc Unfortunately, since cygwin is started as interactive login shell, it doesn't read .bashrc and so it starts as bash If I source .bashrc from .bash_profile (which I don't like), then it works. But then I cannot start X server from the start menu shortcut because bash reads .bashrc, executes zsh and exits; even though startxwin.exe is called by bash -l. So, is there a way to change shell? -- Regards, -- 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/

Re: Keyboard map screwed up after launching xemacs

WTF? Even the important tilde character can't be typed anymore. Not only until I quit xemacs, my keymap in xterm works again as expected. Are you saying the the keymap for all X windows is changed while xemacs is running? Or does it only affect the Xemacs window? Forgive my ignorance about german keyboard usage, but is the tilde character used in some kind of composition sequence which isn't working anymore?

No Cygwin-X shortcut on fresh install
Hi! I have just installed Cygwin. I selected gvim, xorg-server and rxvt-unicode-X for packages. After finishing the installation, I could not start X server from starx etc. I could, though start X.exe. Documentation says I should have Cygwin-X shortcut on the desktop. I have reinstalled everything but I there is not shortcut. Am I missing something? Something that needs to be installed? -- Regards, -- 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/
Problem using German layout
Hi! I just installed cygwin on a laptop with german layout. I have two problems: 1) I have to press ~ two times to have it shown. This has been happening since several days. 2) I created a new account today (the older one had space in the login name, and every script using $HOME variable would die), and installed a couple of programs (including powertoys) and now once I press the AltGr key, the whole keyboard layout changes to something bizzare! Pressing a gives f, and most keys don't work. I am sure this is a known and solvable problem, but I couldn't find much on google. Any idea what to do? Any other information that I should give?
