Windows 10: How to install terminal icons in wsl2 ubuntu

I want to see the files and folder icons when I use the ls command. Is there any way to achieve this?

WSL2 and new Windows Terminal not working with VPN

For most of my apps I don't want to use a VPN. So I have a VPN client that supports split tunneling so I can choose whether I want it to use VPN or not on app by app basis.

The VPN client works fine with different apps but when I try to set it up with Ubuntu WSL/2 and new Window Terminal app (by selecting both Ubuntu 20.04 LTS WSL2 app and the Windows Terminal App)... it doesn't work. When I check IP from Ubuntu WSL2 bash
terminal (using "curl ifconfig.me") it shows my real IP rather than the VPN ip (the VPN split tunnel works fine when I try to use it with Powershell via Windows Terminal).

What exact apps do I need to chose for the WSL2 Ubuntu terminal to work with the split tunnel VPN?

WSL2 & Ubuntu

Hi Jennifer,

WSL is just a barebones Linux installation. There are two options - download Hyper-V and set an Ubuntu installation(if you have Pro edition) automatically, or use WSL2.

UEFI mode is a required for Windows 11 so you likely have it enabled.

In the Windows search,



type cmd, right-click it, and choose run as administrator.

Execute

wsl --install

This command would install WSL+Install Ubuntu.

Keep us posted how that goes.
