How to run the installed distribution?

[TomasHubelbauer]

Hello, sorry to be a dumbo, but how do I run the installed distribution? With the ones installed through wslconfig, they have names corresponding to the distros, so I can just type the name into the terminal:

• ubuntu
• opensuse-42

I installed another Ubuntu distro using

lxrunoffline install -n Ubuntu1 -f ./ubuntu-xenial-core-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.gz -d C:/Users/Tom/Desktop/wsl/demo

and I figured I could just do ubuntu1, but that doesn't seem to be the case?

I can use wslconfig /s Ubuntu1 to make it a default and run it using wsl or bash, but that doesn't seem ideal. I would ultimately like to have taskbar shortcuts. I read Getting Crazy with Windows Subsystem for Linux where I found this tool, but the author uses WSLtty, but I would like to use the default Windows terminal that regular WSL uses.

Use LxRunOffline run -n Ubuntu1, see output of LxRunOffline help run for details.

You can also lookup the corresponding GUID of a distro in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\lxssand use wsl {GUID}.
