Just downloaded and installed the most recent version of Cygwin (1.3.6),
using Blackbox, and I'm having problems with rxvt. Whenever I start it
up, this is the prompt I get:
"
\[\033]0;\w\007
\033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]
$
"
On previous installations of cygwin, it would normally be
"
<user name>@<HOSTNAME>
$
"
On top of that, I can't backspace, or do tab completion. I've tried
changing my TERM system variable from xterm, to rxvt, to
rxvt-cygwin-native. None of that fixed my problem. Anybody know what's
going on?
I would use xterm, but for some reason, I can't get it to run from
blackbox's menu. If I try running it from the menu, I get (in the
console):
"xterm: Error 14, errno 2: No such file or directory"
I know xterm is in my path, because if I type 'xterm' in rxvt within
blackbox, it'll startup with no problems.
Thanks,
Socheat
