Hi, this is my issue:
I start up cygwin and do pwd, and this is my home directory. $ pwd /cygdrive/h
But, I don't want it to be in /cygdrive/h. So, what gives? I've run the mkpasswd command like so (while in my /home/<my name> directory): mkpasswd -l -p "$(cygpath -H)" > /etc/passwd
At that point, I close my cygwin window and open it again... and same thing when I run pwd. How do I make cygwin think and start in /home/<my name>? I've even mucked with the /etc/passwd for my user account and STILL no result. Very confused...
Dear Yves what is the output of $ grep <your name> /etc/passwd
$ grep marco /etc/passwd marco:unused:1008:544:Marco Atzeri, [cut] :/home/marco:/bin/bash
please note that cygpath -H is not the same $ cygpath -H /cygdrive/c/Users
Regards Marco
Regards Marco
