cygwin@cygwin.com: I have been using Cygwin on Win2k Pro SP3 for a while now, and really like it. Today, I downloaded and installed Dia Win32 Installer. The next time I started Bash, it was broken -- the prompt spans two (three?) lines, Bash starts in the wrong directory, and $HOME environment is wrong: dpchrist@w2k30g ~ $ pwd /usr/bin/%USERPROFILE% dpchrist@w2k30g ~ $ echo $HOME /usr/bin/%USERPROFILE% Initially, I thought this was a Dia problem. Uninstalling Dia did not fix it. I tried reinstalling Bash with no luck. I don't know how to get at the Cygwin DLL, so I couldn't try that. Moving aside the C:\cygwin directory and reinstalling Cygwin didn't fix it. Searching the archive for this mailing list, my query of "/usr/bin/%USERPROFILE%" was converted into "usr and (bin or bins) and userprofile and ", yielding 644 hits. I was unable to figure out how to search on an exact phrase. An advanced Google search was more productive: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-11/msg00764.html http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-11/msg00766.html Browsing the archives for this mailing list and searching back through the months for "/usr/bin/%USERPROFILE%" with my browser, I found the following in November of 2002: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-11/msg00809.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-11/msg00766.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-11/msg00764.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-11/msg00761.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-11/msg00759.html Per the posting by Michael Caplan of Thu, 14 Nov 2002 14:23:52 -0500, I am experiencing the same problem. His Cygnus DLL was 1.3.15, mine is 1.3.19. I haven't compared versions of the various packages. Per the posting by Harig, Mark A. of Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2002 15:17:21 -0500, I have attached the output of "cygcheck -s" as a file (cygcheck.txt) rather than including it here. Per the posting of Harig, Mark A. of Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2002 15:30:12 -0500: 1. Output of the "id" command is as follows: dpchrist@w2k30g ~ $ id uid=1000(dpchrist) gid=513(None) groups=513(None),544(Administrators),545(Users) Output of the "id -un" command is as follows: dpchrist@w2k30g ~ $ id -un dpchrist 2. I have made no changes whatsoever to the default Cygwin install of today, including /etc/passwd. Permissions and ownership of this file are as follows: dpchrist@w2k30g ~ $ ls -l /etc/passwd -rw-r--r-- 1 dpchrist None 749 Jan 25 18:57 /etc/passwd Permission and ownership of /etc is as follows: dpchrist@w2k30g ~ $ ls -ld /etc drwxr-xr-x 5 dpchrist None 0 Jan 25 18:53 /etc 3. I am launching Bash using the desktop shortcut created by Cygwin setup. This shortcut points to C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat. Permissions and ownership are as follows: dpchrist@w2k30g ~ $ ls -l /cygwin.bat -rwxr-xr-x 1 dpchrist None 57 Jan 25 18:57 /cygwin.bat I have made no changes whatsoever to this file, which contains: @echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin bash --login -i I have made no changes whatsoever to /etc/profile, also attached. Permissions and ownerships are as follows: dpchrist@w2k30g ~ $ ls -l /etc/profile -rw-r--r-- 1 dpchrist None 386 Jan 25 18:57 /etc/profile Bash is not finding my home directory (/home/dpchrist), so I am omitting ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, and ~/.profile. Per the posting by Michael Caplan of Thu, 14 Nov 2002 16:08:25 -0500, I am leery of hacking /etc/profile and have not done so. The default file installed by Cygwin setup is attached for those so inclined. Per the posting of Harig, Mark A. of Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2002 11:50:39 -0500: 1. Permissions and ownership of /etc/password are as follows: dpchrist@w2k30g ~ $ ls -l /etc/passwd -rw-r--r-- 1 dpchrist None 749 Jan 25 18:57 /etc/passwd The relevant line is as follows: dpchrist:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1000:513:David Christensen,U-W2K30G\dpchrist,S-1-5-21-1229272821-1202660629-1060284298- 1000:/home/dpchrist:/bin/bash The last two entries look correct. 2. Permissions and ownership of /etc are given above. Permissions are already 0755. Can someone please tell me how to fix the problem? TIA, David Christensen dpchrist@holgerdanske.com
