Thanks, Mike ----- Weitergeleitete Nachricht von Anders.Hallstrom@delaval.com ----- Datum: Wed, 21 Nov 2012 14:54:31 +0100 Von: "Hallstrom, Anders" <Anders.Hallstrom@delaval.com> Betreff: Bug report, unknown package: X2Go corrupts CygWin An: "git-admin@x2go.org" <git-admin@x2go.org> Hello. I am following the following advice from “How to report a Bug in X2Go” (http://bugs.x2go.org/Reporting.html): "If you can't seem to determine which package contains the problem, please send e-mail to the git-admin@x2go.org asking for advice." Since I installed X2Go I have experienced that CygWin is rendered unusable. System: Windows XP Professional version 2002 SP 3 X2Go: X2Go-client V. 3.99.2.2 (Qt - 4.8.1) (I had to type that! Why can't I select&copy from the "about" window??) CygWin: CYGWIN_NT-5.1 (Yes, that's really old, but "so what"...) What happens is that directories from the X2Go installation are suddenly mounted as /etc and /bin in CygWin. Since fundamental commands such as "/bin/ls" are thereby missing, nothing works. To repair, I do the following: - Start a Windows command prompt (the cygwin path in Windows is still working). - umount /etc - umount /bin Now CygWin is working normally. After this fix, I can still use X2Go without problems and without the mounts coming back, so I just cannot see why the mounts were necessary in the first place. Sometimes, however, the harmful mounts do come back. I cannot pinpoint exactly when this happens, but at least it is not every time I restart the computer and not every time I run X2Go. Is this known? Could some developer explain what is happening? Best Regards Anders Hallström "This is an e-mail from a DeLaval company. This e-mail is confidential and may also be privileged.
