Cygwin Bash window disappear?!

by Daniel mark :: Rate this Message:

| View Threaded | Show Only this Message

Hello all:

I met a very strange problem as follows:

After I finish installing the latest version of cygwin on my computer, I try to
run C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat. The only thing I got is a black window splash for a
second and then immediately disappear.

I have fully installed all cygwin package and test all package without problem
by using the package test tool provided by cygwin.

I have tried to install it for 3 times!! still the same problem

My machine is using AMD chip with XP professional


Thank you
-Daniel

Try opening a regular Windows console (cmd.com), and starting bash there.
 Perhaps that will give you a clue of what is failing.  Also, consider
following the directions here, of attaching, as a text file, the output of
cygcheck -svr:

There are no error at all.

Now I can see the bash window(I don't know why), but all applications except

'ls' don't work.

It even cannot find my root directory.
but it always tells me that "Install complete"

so strange!

My user account name is "XXX YYY". Does it prevent cygwin from installing
correctly?

thank you
-Daniel

Until you do this, I have no idea how to help you further.

No, although spaces in user names tend to cause other problems, so
it is worth editing /etc/passwd to come up with an alternate username
without spaces for use by cygwin.

Please read and follow these instructions.

Try running the script from a DOS command prompt so you can see what is
happening.  You can start a command prompt using start -> run, enter
cmd and enter.  Then type c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat and see what errors you
are getting.

What part of "attaching" did you not understand?  Including it inline just

Not good - none of the utilities are found, so your installation is
broken.  Have you tried putting c:\cygwin\bin in your PATH?

I too have this problem, using win XP patch level 2. Try invoking sh, see
if you can get a stable shell then. ls wont work (if your in the same boad
i am) but `echo *` will have about the same effect....

"sh" in Cygwin is the same as "bash", so that will have (almost) exactly
the same behavior.  You have a problem with your installation, whether you
think setup completed successfully or not.  Please read and follow the
directions at

> Problem reports:       http://cygwin.com/problems.html

Please pay particular attention to the part that asks you to attach (as an
uncompressed text *attachment*) the output of "cygcheck -svr" on your
machine.

Also, as others have said, open a CMD shell, run C:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat from
there, and post any error messages you receive.
HTH,

  First thing to try is to get rid of all those clashing win32-versions of *nix apps from your %PATH% and re-run setup.

Huh?  Since when does MikTeX conflict with Cygwin?

I wonder if cygcheck should add c:\cygwin\bin to the PATH if it isn't
there (e.g., when run from CMD and /bin isn't in the system PATH), just so
we know if the "Not Found: sh" message means that the bash postinstall
didn't complete, or simply that /bin isn't in the PATH.

We still haven't gotten the exact error message that the OP gets when
running c:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat from a CMD window.

  I could see the included makeinfo interfering with /etc/postinstall/update-info-dir.sh.  And people are always complaining about
seeming-hangs in setup at the post-texmf.sh script.

  Yep, we don't have enough information to diagnose the problem yet, that suggestion above was only a suggestion for something to
try.

update-info-dir.sh doesn't use makeinfo.  Besides, postinstall scripts
should not rely on the path containing /bin -- they should use explicit
paths (or else set the PATH themselves).  Plus, I believe setup prepends
/bin to the PATH before running the scripts.

post-texmf.sh regenerates all of the binary LaTeX format files -- it's
*supposed* to take a long time, especially with slower disks.  Perhaps it
should be renamed to "post-texmf-THIS-MAY-TAKE-A-WHILE.sh" (so people at
least get a visual clue in setup)? :-)

Well, let's hope this doesn't take the OP off on a tangent and make him
forget to actually post some useful output. :-)
