Thank you so much for making these videos on wsl2. They help me a great deal

So clearly explained David, thanks!

Great Video - Thanks for sharing. 😀😀😀
I'd like to run a Windows Command Line App on a Raspberry Pi.
I know about WINE, but I want to simply start the Windows Command Line App from a Linux Command line.
Do you have any advice - Thanks !!!!

Good content and very professional. lots of thanks

This video is quite an example of inception.

Good Job David. Is it possible to set up Windows network interfaces from the WSL ? If yes, we would like to have a video on it.

Is sudo permission required to have docker permission in order to launch image with wsl2

Thanks man

I keep getting this error

explorer.exe: command not found

Thanks David! Your videos are evry informative. Just a minor concern, could you change the intro to something less flashy?

Thank you for this tutorial. It was really helpful :)

Permission denied on everywhere that huge shitii

can I make a Linux version talk to another via IP ? verion 18 talk to 20 via network ? virtual IP ?

Thanks David. Windows Terminal is a beast for sure - so convenient.

I have issues in adding the path variable in wsl.

step done:

following line is added into .bashrc file
"export PATH=\\wsl$\Ubuntu\usr\local\mbdyn\bin:$PATH "

error: Command not found

Why does this happen?

well, idk if windows is actually pretty cool right now lol

Hi David, thanks for a great information. Could you pls help me with this error in WSL-2 shell "mtr-packet: Failure to open IPv4 sockets: Permission denied" ?
When i m trying to run MTR, its showing above error.

This was really useful for me thank you. I do have a question if anyone can answer.

I've just downloaded Docker for the first time. I'm new to Docker and to Linux. I'm running Windows 10 Pro with all latest updates. I configured WSL2 and got a MariaDB container running with a persistent volume, created tables etc and it all works great. It appears to be running MariaDB under Linux which is what I want but I've not downloaded any Linux distros. I've left Docker using Linux Containers in settings.

Using your wsl -l -v it only shows the two Docker entries no Linux.

As said everything works great, but all the examples I can find of installing Docker on Windows indicate you need to download a distro. The only thing I can assume is that because Windows 10 now includes Ubuntu bundled into the kernel that the Docker container is referencing that and I don't need to download Debian or CentOs etc. Does that make sense? Am I losing anything by not having a full distro downloaded? Thanks

thank you

How do you access database db3 files stored in Ubuntu WSL with SQL in windows?

Hi David, I am using wsl2 for web development, when I delete my files from the repo, I don't know where the files are? I thought they will be in trash bin windows. Any tips?

I have wsl2 setup with Ubuntu etc. What I have found is that with a wsl2 Ubuntu I can cannot ssh to another machine. However I can ssh to another machine with Ubuntu on wsl1

Thank You so Much @DavidBombal

Thank you, another very pedagogic video !

As a developer, all I can say is: was about time! O.O

Thx David! Great video, detailed and clearly exposed. Congrats. And also congrats to Windows... as linux users I could have never imaged one day this integration could have been never happened :-)

Thank you sir

Great tutorial, the ones about installing WSL 2 as well!

My problem is that the space on my C: drive is limited (as I have a dual-boot system and the Ubuntu root partition is located right after the C: partition and I cannot move/delete it yet), but I have a very large D: partition. How can I change the storage location of the WSL 2 images and move my existing WSL 2 Ubuntu to that location? I want to use it for development and have some quite large PHP projects. So the image can grew up to 50GB for me.

Thank you very much. started learning many things from you which I wanted to learn. Thank you again.

Very helpful! Thank you very much

you know how to configure the shell to autocomplete base on history, just like iTerm on Mac ?

These videos are very good and quite helpful but one thing I find myself having to say: The quote "The best way to predict the future is to create it" was never said by Abraham Lincoln. Most scholars will say something like that never appeared in his writings. The earliest example of it is attributed to engineer/physicist Dennis Gabor in his 1963 book Inventing the future.

Hi, David. Thanks for the video. I am a newbie in the world of technology, and I would really like to see a video about terminal settings. Thanks in advance.

please make a video on terminal settings, it will be really helpful and thanks for the great content.

Is there a way to access local host 3390 from another computer in the same network?

all the things in this video are things i know about but i kept watching the video since it was directly to point, but will all the details necessary... it felt like talking to a passionate developer rather than a content creator, no extras to make longer videos or any other nonsense, or clickbait titles... keep up the good work...

Please make a video on windows terminal setting customization as better possible

Thanks David another great video. love to see a video on Terminal settings tips.

how to get the desktop to work ????

Note if this isn't working for you make sure you have the lastest windows 10 update (may)

Thank you very much David.
But I have an issue. WSL 2 seems to NAT it's virtual network, instead of making it bridged to the host NIC. My host IP address is different with my WSL (Kali). So I can't access to Internet or join any device on my local network. Could you help me?

Can I access external drives through WSL2, like USB or D drive..... ?

sometimes I wanna do command prompt or powershell in "run as administrator" mode, but command prompt & powershell window within "Windows Terminal" cannot do that.

Its quite small, only 6 MB.
Laughs from my comfy, non my bloat linux setup :P
Still windows and ms seem to be improving and ill credit them for that.

Thanks a lot man, just what I was looking for
