(Tool) Running Cygwin under Wine under Ubuntu

 

Cygwin does not appear to run well under Wine under Ubuntu

 

To run Cygwin under Wine, follow [1]:

  • Navigate to ~/.wine/drive_c/cygwin
  • wineconsole cmd
  • Cygwin.bat

 

For me, this resulted in

 

Note the error (in the Cygwin shell):

 

CMD Version 1.2 C:\cygwin>Cygwin bash: /dev/null: No such file or directory bash: cannot create temp file for here document: Invalid request code Your group is currently "passwd/group_GID_clash(gid/pgsid)".  This indicates that your gid is not in /etc/group, but the pgsid (primary group associated with your SID) is in /etc/group. The /etc/passwd (and possibly /etc/group) files should be rebuilt. See the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup then, for example, run mkpasswd -l [-d] > /etc/passwd mkgroup  -l [-d] > /etc/group Note that the -d switch is necessary for domain users.

 

Creating a folder /home/richel/.wine/drive_c/cygwin/dev/null fails.

 

Also note the many errors (in the wineconsole shell):

 

[many more] fixme:ntdll:NtQueryVolumeInformationFile 0x1c: volume info not supported fixme:ntdll:NtQueryVolumeInformationFile 0x1c: attribute info not supported [many more]
