When i run nano ~/.bashrc nano opens with [ Directory '/home/frolo' does not
exist ] error.
Do you run it from bash prompt or from CMD prompt?
The file opens with cat ~/.bashrc
Can you please show us the output of
getent passwd "$USER"; mount; cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
I run it with F:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -
Thanks. TBH, I'm baffled. Your setup looks like standard unaltered one.
Diagnostics seems clear, but the last bit remains.
What the `which nano` says?
$ getent passwd "$USER"; mount; cat /etc/nsswitch.conf

$ which nano

I'll jump in: That does not appear to be Cygwin nano, but some other,
Windows-based
nano, which would expect Windows type paths, not Cygwin type paths. You have
(at
least) two options:
- Drop that nano and install the Cygwin one;
- Invoke that nano with a Windows path, perhaps like this:
nano $(cygpath -wa ~/.bashrc)
Personally, I'd go with the first option, since CYgwin nano is more likely to
play nicely with Cygwin files ...
