I just installed the 64-bit version of Cygwin on both a desktop PC and a laptop

On the desktop, everything worked as expected without problems. On the laptop, I
have the following problems:
When I launch a shell window, I get the following error:
Your group is currently "mkgroup". This indicates that neither your gid nor
your pgsid is in /etc/group.
(I don't know about this one)
Also, when I try to launch an XTerm, I get the following message in the XTerm
window for
just a few seconds and then the window goes away:
/cygdrive/c/Apps/cygwin/bin/xterm: Could not exec XTERM_SHELL=XTERM_SHELL=: No
such file or directory
yes, that's a bug which surfaced in #301, thought it was gone in #302, and
_should_ be gone in #303
(from yesterday)
I'm starting the XWin Server using a shortcut with the following:
C:\Apps\cygwin\bin\run.exe
/usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c
"/usr/bin/startxwin.exe -- -emulate3buttons -multiwindow -clipboard
-swcursor"
I'm starting the XTerm using a shortcut with the following:
C:\Apps\cygwin\bin\run.exe
-p /usr/X11R6/bin xterm +tb -sb -sl 5000 -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 -ls
/bin/zsh -l
I'd try putting "-e" before the "/bin/zsh", which moves it away from the bug
noted.
(actually, the trailing "-l" doesn't look right either)
Thanks. I think the -l was to cause a login shell, but I see now that is what
the -ls
argument does. Since I removed the shell argument ("/bin/zsh -l") it is now
working.
I'm getting the shell I want, I suspect, because that is the shell mentioned in
the
/etc/passwd file for my user.
As a result, it is working so I'll leave it alone.
fwiw, when I compile #301, #302 and #303 for Cygwin, I don't see the bug.
However, I was able to analyze it on Linux with valgrind...
Well, I downloaded the Cygwin installation for my desktop last week, and
downloaded
the Cygwin for my laptop yesterday. I guess the bug could have been introduced
between
those times?
Thanks for your help!
