I don't know if it does any paticular harm, but there is no reason to have / mounted textmode. It seems as this is default from mount. man mount sais: By default, mounts are in text mode The mode of the mounts created by setup.exe depend on what you specify for the Default text file type during installation. Unix (i.e. binary) is the default. Like all defaults, your best bet is to stick with them unless you have a need for something else and understand the implications. If you'd prefer to change back to binary mounts now, you can either re-run setup.exe and respecify your mount points as Unix or you can force a remount of all mount points as binary with the following: mount -m /tmp/mounts edit '/tmp/mounts' and change all '-t's to '-b's save your edits chmod +x /tmp/mounts /tmp/mounts You will, of course, have to run through the file-system and change any scripts you have from text to binary (with 'd2u') for those to work for you again. If you're not too far into your installation configuration, you may find it easier to start to remove what you have and reinstall. I installed cygwin again using UNIX mounts. X works now :-) Thank you both for your help! -- Regards, Marco -- 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/
Cannot Start X
Hello I installed Cygwin on my new machine yesterday and now I cannot start x as I am used to. A fatal error occurs. I tried to start using startxserver.bat which uses: XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error Here is the content of the XWin.log: (WW) /tmp mounted int textmode _XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created. (II) XF86Config is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information winAdjustVideoModeShadowGDI - Using Windows display depth of 32 bits per pixel winAllocateFBShadowGDI - Creating DIB with width: 3000 height: 1200 depth: 32 winInitVisualsShadowGDI - Masks 00ff ff00 00ff BPRGB 8 d 24 bpp 32 null screen fn ReparentWindow null screen fn RestackWindow InitQueue - Calling pthread_mutex_init InitQueue - pthread_mutex_init returned InitQueue - Calling pthread_cond_init InitQueue - pthread_cond_init returned winInitMultiWindowWM - Hello winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Hello winInitMultiWindowWM - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: 0409 (0409) (--) Using preset keyboard for English (USA) (409), type 4 (--) 3 mouse buttons found Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list! Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' I tried to fix the problem according to http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof but this did not help. Also reinstalling all the fonts did not help. A mount shows the following: $ mount C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (textmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (textmode) C:\cygwin on / type user (textmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type user (textmode,noumount) d: on /cygdrive/d type user (textmode,noumount) h: on /cygdrive/h type user (textmode,noumount) k: on /cygdrive/k type user (textmode,noumount) o: on /cygdrive/o type user (textmode,noumount) s: on /cygdrive/s type user (textmode,noumount) t: on /cygdrive/t type user (textmode,noumount) u: on /cygdrive/u type user (textmode,noumount) x: on /cygdrive/x type user (textmode,noumount) There is no mount point for /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Check if you can write in the dir /tmp/.X11-unix and delete everything (use ls -la to check because the files start with a dot) I deleted all the files in the directory you mentioned, but it did not help. Still the same error and msg in the XWin.log. Any other ideas? Why is everything mounted in textmode? Hm, I don't know. That's just what cygwin did on installation.

From the cygwin mirror in Switzerland: ftp://mirror.switch.ch But I'd say the textmode is not the problem why I cannot start X? No, but it is a hint that there is something wrong with your cygwin installation.
