  1. After fixing BSOD on Windows 10 does WSL automatically delete all my personal project folders?


    Hi,


    I'm a recent Blue Screen of Death survivor. Did a tour in Win, Dec 14, 2020.

    BSOD, corsairVBusdriver.sys


    As you can see I managed to fix the BSOD and write this letter on my Windows 10. I'm currently at the stage of evaluating if the fix is permanent, and how stable my system can remain before the nextWindows updates.


    My questions is this. Where can I find all my previous personal project folders which I created under WSL - Ubuntu?


    Pretty much 97% of all my other personal files are intact after my BSOD recovery. But it looks like all my project folders underWSL - Ubuntu are completely gone. Is this the default behavior after a BSOD recovery?

    :)

  2. Permission error on WSL 2 when trying to setup a nodejs project

    TLAfter fixing BSOD on Windows 10 does WSL automatically delete all my personal project folders? :DR;

    Code:
    Can't use npm global package in /mnt/c/Users.username. It works in WSL home (~) though.
    ---

    Code:
    Currently, I have all my web projects in /mnt/c/Users/[username]/dev.
    Steps I took:

    1. I open the terminal and access the above folder via a symlink.
    2. Installed p5js-cli package globally but when I get to use it I get the below output:
    Code:
    ☁ dev p5 new test+
    Creating new p5.js project in test...[Error: failed to mmap. Could not write data: Permission denied] {errno: -1,errorFunction: 'Clone.clone'}
    I'm struggling to get my head around file permissions in this case.

    Code:
    If I run ls -lah in the windows folder I get the below output which I understand it means I should have the correct access to those folders and the output is consistent
     with the files on the WSL side.drwxrwxrwx 1 username username 4.0K Aug 25 23:31...I have installed vue-cli and was able to successfully use it to create a project in /mnt/c/Users/username/dev , could this be an issue with p5js-cli and not the wsl setup?

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink After fixing BSOD on Windows 10 does WSL automatically delete all my personal project folders? ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.
