Ubuntu on Windows 10 - The Ubuntu Userspace for Windows Developers



Here's let's break it down slowly:
  • Windows 10 users
  • Can open the Windows Start menu
  • And type "bash" [enter]
  • Which opens a  cmd.exe console
  • Running  Ubuntu's /bin/bash
  • With full access to all of Ubuntu user space
    Yes, that means apt, ssh, rsync, find, grep, awk, sed, sort, xargs, md5sum, gpg, curl, wget, apache, mysql, python, perl, ruby, php, gcc, tar, vim, emacs, diff, patch.


And most of the tens of thousands binary packages available in the Ubuntu archives!


"Right, so just Ubuntu running in a virtual machine?" 
Nope!  This isn't a virtual machine at all.  There's no Linux kernel booting in a VM under a hypervisor.  It's just the Ubuntu user space.

"Ah, okay, so this is Ubuntu in a container then?" 
Nope!  This isn't a container either.  It's native Ubuntu binaries running directly in Windows.

"Hum, well it's like cygwin perhaps?" 
Nope!  Cygwin includes open source utilities are recompiled from source to run natively in Windows.  Here, we're talking about bit-for-bit, checksum-for-checksum Ubuntu ELF binaries running directly in Windows.

Inside your Windows installation drive, you can see all of your Ubuntu files in
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Lxss\rootfs\

Fix No wireless (WiFi) networks are available after you upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10


            


After you upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, no wireless networks are listed as available. This is true even though the wireless network adapter seems to function correctly. If you restart the computer or you try to reinstall the wireless network adapter driver, this does not fix the problem.

This problem may also prevent wired Ethernet connections from functioning correctly. This affects connections that are made through either a built-in Ethernet adapter or a USB Ethernet adapter.

“This issue may occur if older VPN software is installed on Windows 8.1 and is present during the upgrade to Windows 10. Older software versions contain a Filter Driver (the Deterministic Network Enhancer) which is not properly upgraded, leading to the issue.”  -Microsoft

  • Open an administrative Command Prompt window.
  • Run the following commands:

    reg delete HKCR\CLSID\{988248f3-a1ad-49bf-9170-676cbbc36ba3} /va /f
     
  • Now enter this command, and press Enter once more:

    netcfg -v -u dni_dne

Windows 10 Update KB3081424 Causing Endless Reboot Loop

Microsoft has rolled out a cumulative update for Windows 10 KB3081424 that contains security fixes. The Update was actually meant to fix several issues related to VPN, Cortana, AMD Drivers, Explorer stability and other fixes so as to enhance the stability of the operating system. But, the users are reporting issues while installing this update for the new Operating system who tried to install that update on their devices caused endless reboot issue.
You can now Download KB3081424 Windows 10 Update.
It downloads and starts reboot to install. The updates gets installed to some percent and again reboots. The same thing repeats and lastly it shows “Something went wrong so uninstalling the update.” The issue is mainly caused by invalid user SID entries in the Windows Registry. This way the updates are not installed properly and here is the solution to fix this issue.


How to Fix this Issue?

  


Method 1:

Follow the below steps to fix the issue using Windows Registry.

Note:
It is recommended that you create a System Rrestore Point or backup before making changes to your Windows registry.

  • Initially, Press Windows + R key that opens RUN window.
  • Type regedit in the box and click OK.
  • It then redirects to a new window Registry Editor in which you need to navigate through the following Registry KEY.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
  • Navigate using the above key wherein you find list of all user profiles that exist on the machine.
  • The entries S-1-5-18, S-1-5-19 and S-1-5-20 are used by the system and they must be left alone.
  • If you have more than one i.e., S-1-5-21* entry, this must be removed by right clicking on that and click on Delete so that you may be able to fix the issue.
  • Click on each profile starting with S-1-5-21 to link it to a user account on the system.
  • You can do so by looking at the Profileimagepath value after selecting the account.
  • Make sure you do not delete the admin profile.
  • Delete the keys of all selected accounts and then Restart the computer.

In this way you can fix the Windows 10 KB3081424 update issue. Try the above process and fix the issue. If it works then it would be fine, or else, if you wish, you can restore your computer back to the created System Restore Point.


Method 2: (Hide KB3081424 Update)
