RE: inkscape installed but does nothing.
(I tried to reply to this message twice and got mailer-daemon failure notices both times. My apologies if this is a duplicate message.) Yes, they are installed. which xwin xinit/usr/bin/xwin/usr/bin/xinit When I try to run inkscape, I don't get any errors and there were no messages about missing programs or dependencies when I ran the installer. I'm not trying to start a GUI. I have a script that I used to batch convert svg images in a folder to png. When that script wouldn't work (I've used it on other machines, including this one years ago using 32-bit cygwin instead of 64-bit that I'm using now) I started trying to invoke it from the command line, and that's when I discovered it's not doing anything. If I start Cygwin64 WindowMaker and type "inkscape" into the right-click run dialogue, I get a popup window, ErrorCould not execute command: inkscape Thanks!

Hi Corinna, Corinna Vinschen wrote: Hi Christian, On second thought... I had a bad night tonight and was thinking a long time about this and that.

This is intentional. If the first duplicate appears, it is IMO better to also replace the original name to show that a duplicate exists. Not saying I have a good solution myself, so I wonder if we should just let it slip, but I thought we should at least talk about it... Users should be aware that unspecific label names like VOLUME could not be used as a persistent link if drives are changed. Same may apply to by-partuuid names as preformatted SD-cards and USB flash drives may have a null MBR serial number. Regards, Christian

Cygwin fails to create sockets correctly
Cygwin fails to create sockets correctly on some computers. Specifically, this
fails on my machines with Windows 10 Enterprise, but works fine on a system
with Windows 10 Pro. This was first observed on or about Nov 19, 2023. On one
of the Windows 10 Enterprise machines X has been running for several days and
has a functioning socket created on Nov 15, but new sockets cannot be
successfully created.
Steps to reproduce:1) Run any program that will produce a named socket.2) Do an
ls -l on the socket, it will come up as an ordinary file with permissions
-rw-rw-rw- instead of srw-rw-rw- (note the missing "s").
All my Windows 10 Enterprise machines are centrally managed by my employer.

Too much work. ;-) Interestingly enough, after running setup pointing locally, and then running setup pointing to "Install from Internet", it found some updates. But, still no X icons. I know what I need to do, but I just thought it would be as easy as what I thought would be logically thinking. :-) Perhaps, this is a feature that should be added to setup.
