Re: [Unicon-group] Bash on Ubuntu on Windows

Dick,

I used sudo actually. I have following output:

 

slog@G780:~$ sudo apt-get install x11-common

[sudo] password for slog:

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

x11-common is already the newest version.

x11-common set to manually installed.

The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:

  os-prober

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it.

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 53 not upgraded.

 

It seems as I have X11 installed already.

Please, try to build Unicon with graphics. What result you will get?

I used "make X-Configure name=x86_64_linux" to configure.

Sergy,

You must use sudo for apt-get.

This completed with no errors for me:

     sudo apt-get install x11-common

Dick,

Thank you for such useful comments.

Do you know how to install X11 binaries on Win10? I discovered that to run X11 application from bash you need to instal Xming server from sourceforge. That's working, really. But when I try to build Unicon with graphics "make X-Configure" says that X11 libraries and headers are missed. "apt-get install x11-common" doesn't install anything due to some access error. So, now I can use bash only for pre-builded graphical Ubuntu applications.

A few comments which you may find useful.

 

1. Windows Subsystem for Linux is a beta version, only available in Windows 10 version 1607 and later.

2. The current version does not allow you to execute Windows .exe files.

     You can access any Windows files via /mnt/c/, limited by Windows permissions.

3. The Windows Bash command (C:/Windows/System32/bash.exe) is a little different from

     the Ubuntu bash command (/bin/bash).

     "bash.exe ~" opens the Bash window in your Ubuntu home directory (e.g. /home/rhm)

     "bash.exe ~ --login" also executes your .profile or .bash_profile

4. ssh from a remote machine will put you in your Windows home directory (e.g. C:/Users/rhm)

    running the Windows shell (cmd.exe).

    Executing "/windows/system32/bash.exe ~ --login" then works as described above.

    If your SSH Server services disappear, you need to rerun the enable WSL command in PowerShell.
