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.

Windows 10 SWAP partition

Hi everyone,

I just noticed that Windows 10 has a swap partition of 450MB. I just wanna know that is it similar to Linux or Ubuntu SWAP space or different. I appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks,

Syed.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
