Creating a desktop shortcut to Cygwin emacs

Every three years or so I have to set up a new laptop, and several things that I only do in that period I either lose the notes on it, or something has changed that I'm not aware of. I'm installing Cygwin on a new laptop, version 3.5.0-1.x86_64. I had 3.4.6 on the old laptop. My desktop shortcut

Another confusing error from someone else's Cygwin setup

I'm seeing a problem with someone else's Cygwin setup, sort of similar to a problem I asked about a couple of weeks ago, in that it's a problem with the same user, but seemingly a completely different problem. He is using a Bash script that I wrote, and he gets a seemingly nonsensical error that

Trying to figure out what is wrong in a colleague's Cygwin setup

I have been using Cygwin for many years, although I wouldn't call myself an advanced user. I'm working with some much newer users. They set up Cygwin, but I didn't see them do it. I ran "uname -a" and it was about the same as mine. I compared the output of "env|sort" and I saw some differences,

I've been using kubectl in Cygwin on Windows 10 for quite a while, to communicate to our in-house k8s clusters. I often use "kubectl exec" to open a shell in a container or directly execute a shell command. This has worked perfectly fine for a long time. A couple of days ago, I discovered that

Are you running it from the desktop from run? I discovered the same thing. One workaround that worked for me was to open a rxvt window and then run emacs from that. However, an even better workaround was simply using the w32 version and bypassing X entirely. When I changed my run shortcut to run

Re: Were the Perl multithreading problems ever fixed?

(Resending because it complained about my inadvertently using html.) My Cygwin Perl is 5.14.2. I don't have a link to a report. I never filed a bug report, but we had an email exchange about this starting on 1/13/12. My script is still having occasional problems, but it's not dumping core.

Is Cygwin X server causing ubuntu eclipse to copy to the clipboard on selection?

I run Eclipse on win7, and also Eclipse on Ubuntu, displaying the window on my Win7 box, using Cygwin. One annoyance I have with the latter is that when I select a region of text, it appears to automatically copy that region to the clipboard, instead of waiting for me to press Ctrl-C. I asked

I have an ubuntu 12.0.4 desktop. I have a Win7 laptop running Cygwin. I can display windows from the Ubuntu box on the Win7 laptop using the Cygwin X server, but the window is somewhat degraded. Specifically, scrollbars are not rendering properly. I've used Ubuntu before, but this is the first

How to properly start xwin at windows seven startup?

I've had an old version of Cygwin running on a WinXP laptop for quite a while. I made it run startxwin.bat on startup. I'm now setting up the latest Cygwin on a Win7 laptop. The FAQ is saying to not use the startxwin.bat file (as it doesn't exist anymore), and use the exe file. However, it also

How to avoid having shell scripts which fail from killing Emacs shell?

I've often been annoyed by shell scripts which fail for particular reasons, at which point it causes my Emacs shell buffer to get killed, with Process shell2 finished. I think it's possible to code the scripts to use trap, which might avoid this problem, but sometimes (most times, really) I can't
