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.

 

Networking issue - Windows and Ubuntu

Went on a short trip, took my Windows 10 laptop, turned off the Ubuntu computer and my wife's Windows 10 computer. When I returned, I turned everything back on and nether Windows computer could see the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS computer. On the Ubuntu computer, Files/Network clicking on Windows Network received "Unable to access location - Failed to retrieve share list from server: No such file or directory" error. Both Windows computers were able to use the Ubuntu before the trip.

Any suggestions?
