When I started developing in WSL I don't know why, but I installed Ubuntu-20.04 app from Microsoft store instead of just Ubuntu. I know that only difference is that Ubuntu-20.04 will not get automatically updated when new Ubuntu version will be released. All I want to do is to make Ubuntu just like Ubuntu-20.04 without reconfiguring it. I thought of moving all files from Ubuntu-20.04 to Ubuntu, b ...

I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 in WSL, which I use to compile my c++ programs.

I need to write a program that gets the name of all the files in a certain directory and adds them into a vector of strings. Browsing the internet I found that I can use the "filesystem" library to do this in a simple and easy way.

The problem is that whenever I try using this answer I get the error 'filesystem' has not been declar ...

When I look into what my admin password is on Windows 10, everything seems to point to it being linked to the Microsoft account I have connected.

I validated this, it seems to be the case that I am not currently using a local account:

But the same password I'm able to use to log into this Microsoft account with does not work when I attempt to run sudo in WSL. There is only one account on my PC.

I am trying to understand the File System for Windows with WSL 2 and Ubuntu distro. When looking at the root '/" of the file system, Ubuntu operating system is installed in the /mnt directory. However, the my user for Ubuntu is in the "/home" directory. Why is this and how does this work? Also where is WSL2 located? Is WSL2 its' own directory?

Sorry, I am new to the software engineering world and ...

I'm currently using an Insider build of Windows 11. (22458)

However, I had this problem a few times on other builds. (and wsl worked before)

When I start wsl, I'm not able to do a DNS request. (Pinging an IP address directly works.)

I tracked this problem down to the file: /etc/resolv.conf

It includes the DNS server address.

The default is: 172.22.192.1

However, this one doesn't work.

I am using Ubuntu on Windows with WSL. After updating Ubuntu to the latest version (20.04.3 LTS I believe) I am not able to run the gnome-session command anymore, which would usually allow me to access a GUI on VcXsrv. When I run the command it simply returns without starting up the GUI. This has happened before, however restarting Windows once usually resolved the issue. Running gnome-session --d ...

I have installed zsh, git, and oh-my-zsh, but i got an error like this: enter image description here

I have .zshrc and ./oh-my-zsh located in $HOME

I've googled around for this but nothing worked for me:

• i've tried to reinstall oh-my-zsh but same problem

I am using ubuntu 20.04 VM for a course. For an assignment, I need to run a command that creates some thread and two processes happen simultaneously. However as soon I run the command ubuntu slows down and the CPU utilization goes to 200% for that process. I allotted 8GB/16GB RAM to oracle VM and 6/12 CPUs (Oracle forbids to allocate beyond 6 CPUs).

Complete novice here, so please tell me if this should be posted in a different forum. If the answer is already available online, I haven't been able to find it in my searches.

I set up Ubuntu 20.04 using WSL2 per the official Windows instructions. I did this because I needed to build and run a Docker container, and the instructions recommended following the WSL2 link.

After doing this, I see in the Ubun ...

I haven't used my Ubuntu WSL in about 4 months, today I opened it up to use ssh to connect to a server for one of my classes and I get the following error. I've tried the other solutions that I've found here on stack exchange etc with no success. As well I need a permanent solution as this is going to be used on a daily basis.

Swapping standard Ubuntu for win-10 w/ "WSL Ubuntu"

For 5 years I booted to Ubuntu Distros with a GUI desktop, however; this year, my professor has forced me to add Windows to my machine. In the past I would dual boot the two, however, as I am sure most of you are likely to already know, several Linux distros have been made available for use by developers working in "Windows 10" environments", therefore, ...

I have seen that openssl < 1.1.1l has a vulnerability so I wanted to upgrade it by running

sudo apt-get install openssl # upgrade didn't worked

And I get the following

openssl is already the newest version (1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.8).  

1.1.1f is the openssl library version. What does the 2.8 stand for?

It doesn't match my ubuntu version (20.04LTS) nor my kernel version (checked with uname -a)

A while back I installed WSL by following the instructions here. I was under the impression that I was running WSL 2. However, when I launched code-insiders from the terminal (Ubuntu 20.04) today, I got a message saying that I'm running WSL 1 and strongly recommended that I upgrade. This was a surprise to me because I didn't think I was running WSL 1. Anyway, I opened a power shell (without admin) and ran ...

It is obvious that when installing wsl, along with the Ubuntu distribution, it comes with pre-installed packages, such as git, curl, wget, etc., however I would like to have it like the classic ubuntu just installed, without these specific packages and ready to start installing the ones you need, I know that Ubuntu is not like other distributions that can arrive without any package completely at zero, bu ...
