  1. Change Default From Powershell to Ubuntu in Windows Terminal


    Instead of Powershell, I would like Windows Terminal to open a WSL tab by default.

    If this is possible, than I could right-click to open a new terminal from File Explorer, and not have to change directory all the way to where I want to go.

  2. Terminal: Powershell vs Ubuntu: git status difference for PHP project

    I've just updated my installation of Windows terminal to 1.0. To test consistency I opened Terminal in my project directory and got these results:

    Powershell:


    Change Default From Powershell to Ubuntu in Windows Terminal a8baaf7d-d71a-484c-8376-76ec7321cddc?upload=true.jpg


    WSL/Ubuntu:


    Change Default From Powershell to Ubuntu in Windows Terminal 4e01eb0f-a4fc-4837-9b41-4ccd1a32f1e6?upload=true.jpg


    Powershell shows git --version = 2.26.2.windows.1

    WSL shows git --version = 2.17.1

    I also have a Hyper-V VM of Ubuntu 18 with a clone of the project. It's git is also 2.17.1 but it shows:

    Code:
    On branch master
    
    Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
    
    nothing to commit, working tree clean
    So the difference in git status is not due to the version of git. Also, WSL & the VM report identical versions of Ubuntu (18.04.4) and both have just been updated & upgraded.

    The PHP project was developed in Netbeans. Netbeans version 11.x shows the project has nothing to commit. Netbeans 12.0-beta4 shows there are files are different from HEAD. The reason there is that the java git module has changed. Is that somehow a factor
    here in Windows Terminal?

    If not, why the difference in Terminal?

  3. Ubuntu terminal not displaying git messages correctly

    Hi Patrick,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that the output for Ubuntu terminal is not showing properly for GIT commands.



    I suggest you to try re-enabling Windows Subsystem for Linux and then uninstalling and re-installing Ubuntu from Microsoft Store. Follow the steps to disable Windows Subsystem for Linux and uninstall Ubuntu.



    Disable Windows Subsystem for Linux:



    1. Press Windows key + R. This will open
      Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for Run.
    2. In Run dialog box, type
      appwiz.cpl
      and hit enter.
    3. Now on the left hand pane click on
      Turn Windows features on or off.
    4. Now on the Windows feature window scroll down and uncheck the box next to
      Windows Subsystem for Linux.
    5. Click on OK and Restart the PC.


    Uninstall the Ubuntu app:



    1. Go to Settings >
      Apps > Apps & features.
    2. Now search for Ubuntu app.
    3. Click on the app and click on
      Uninstall
      .
    4. Follow the onscreen instructions.


    To enable the Windows Subsystem for Linux you can refer the article

    Windows Subsystem for Linux Installation Guide for Windows 10
    .



    If the issue persists, I suggest you to post your query on

    TechNet forums
    as they have dedicated support for issues related to Windows Subsystem for Linux.



    Hope it helps.

  4. Change Default From Powershell to Ubuntu in Windows Terminal

    Can I change Windows Settings, Default Programms in Powershell?

    Good Morning everyone
    I'm currently working on a WDS and I would like to automate as much as possible. I created a customize Userprofile (sysprep it and saved it on WDS-Server) thanks to a Tutorial on this Website and many of the changes I made were saved *Biggrin. I would like to realize a Powershell-Script that solves the settings that weren't kept by Windows during sysprep. Of course I can change this all by hand (that would be done in a few minutes *Wink, but a Script would be nice, if even possible.

    What I coun't solve so far are:
    • How to change Default Browser change to IE
    • How to change the Default Programm for PDF
    • Change Windows Setting (see picture of German Setting of Data Protection)
    • Change the Starting Page in Windows Edge
    So far I searched for several hours tried out many things, but *Sick *Rolleyes couldn't find a real solution.
    Can you help me?
    Thank you in advanced *Biggrin
