Do these updates solve the problem with the start menu?


I usually download updates from; ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/

Today it says;

"One or more mirrors you have selected is/are not on the list of official Cygwin mirrors any more. They may be out of date or missing some packages.

if you experience installation problems consider trying official mirrors only"

when I click Yes, it goes to a download screen for setup.bz2.sig

and it stalls

which server should I be using? surely mirrors.kernel.org should be trustworthy?

 The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution: 

 *** xorg-server-*1.16.1-1 

 These packages contain XWin and the other X.Org X11 servers. 

 In addition to upstream fixes [1][2], this contains the following cygwin-specific changes since 1.16.0-2: 

 * Also automatically activate the -nolock option if /tmp is on an exFAT filesystem (Reported by 't s') 
 * Log owning HWND when OpenClipboard fails 
 * Log name of format atom when conversion of X clipboard to a format is refused 
 * Also use _NET_WM_NAME for window titles in multiwindow mode 
 * Downgrade some uninformative, always-emitted log output to debug 
 * Check TEMP and TMP directories for accessibility before using for xkbcomp temporary file 
 * Log filename when xkbcomp temporary file cannot be opened 
 * Don't add an extra null character at the end of the text on the Windows clipboard (Thanks to Colin Harrison for patch)
