Did you use the same user on first and second attempt?

 I get these two errors from the log:
 
 could not init font path element usr/x11r6/lib/x11/fonts/100dpi
 and
 could not init font path element usr/x11r6/lib/x11/fonts/CID

These are not really errors, just messages about not existing fonts. I
assume almost everyone has these.

Send the output of cygcheck -s and the complete Xwin.log please.

You have to reinstall libncurses7 to get emacs back.  See

Actually, I did that 2 days ago to fix another problem with fork, and
this issue seems to have disappeared again. Was just going to post that
when I saw this message :)

So, thanks! That seems to have been the answer.

Just curious, do you get the X icon in the task bar?

I've been having this problem lately since I re-installed a couple of
weeks ago. I thought I had a fix, but it turned out to be a red herring
as my problem came back today...

can't startup startx in cygwin

2007-03-22 Thread Katherine J Merrill
Installed cygwin, etc a couple of years ago with using windows xp.  It  
worked fine.  Over Christmas break, made a clean sweep of the  
harddrive and reinstalled cygwin-x.  Ran it once, worked fine.  Closed  
it and could not get it to open.  Cygwin was fine.  startx just got  
hung.  Started poking around.  Decided to delete and reinstall  
everything.  Worked once, then would just get hung again when I  
startx.  Went to the FAQs and found 8.4/8.5.


I get these two errors from the log:

could not init font path element usr/x11r6/lib/x11/fonts/100dpi
and
could not init font path element usr/x11r6/lib/x11/fonts/CID

It processes a couple more lines after this and just sits there.

On trying to follow the 8.4 instructions when I run  
umount/usr/x11r6/lib/x11/fonts, it comes back and says that the file  
is not found.


Also, there are no instructions for the other  /CID problem.

How do I fix this?

Thanks, Katherine Merrill
