Enable the wsl function and configure the default wsl to wsl2.
wsl --install
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart
wsl --set-default-version 2
Then reboot the computer.
Note: This operation only needs to be done once.
In fact, it doesn’t have to be so troublesome. There is a standard method for installing wsl on Microsoft’s official website. I am demonstrating here just to avoid installing to the C drive.
Download the ubuntu image file through your download tool
And rename the package you just downloaded to Ubuntu.zip
E:\wsl
└──Ubuntu.zipPS E:\wsl\ubuntu> .\ubuntu2004.exeThis step takes a little longer. You will then be asked to set a new username and password. Note: The root username cannot be used.Please remember the username and password you set.
# Update the list of all packages
sudo apt update
# Update all packages
sudo apt upgradeIf you are asked to enter a password during execution, just enter the password we set earlier.
When you first enter the OS, you may be missing many essential tools. Compilation and build tools need to be installed.
sudo apt install build-essentialThis command will install a series of software packages, including: gcc, g++, make, etc., as well as the dependencies they depend on.
sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev
sudo apt install libgtk3-perlHere is an example of asciio
sudo apt install unzip
sudo apt install libeval-context-perl
sudo apt install libdirectory-scratch-structured-perl
sudo apt install libfile-homedir-perl
sudo apt install libterm-size-any-perl
sudo apt install libio-prompter-perl
sudo apt install libterm-termkey-perl
sudo apt-get install libmodule-build-perl
sudo apt install perl cpanminus
sudo cpanm Pango
sudo cpanm Hash::Slice
git clone https://github.com/nkh/P5-Data-TreeDumper-Renderer-GTK
cd P5-Data-TreeDumper-Renderer-GTK
sudo perl Makefile.pl
sudo make
sudo make install
git clone https://github.com/nkh/P5-App-Asciio
cd P5-App-Asciio
sudo perl Build.PL
sudo ./Build installdeps
sudo ./Build installNote: This is just an example. For the latest installation method of the software, please refer to the official documentation. Note: If there is no git in your wsl, you can also copy the files to be installed through windows.
sudo apt install ubuntu-desktopThis will install the GNOME desktop environment. This installation package is very large, about 2G. So your waiting time may be longer.
I use Chinese as an example here
sudo apt-get install language-pack-zh-hanssudo apt update
sudo apt install -y xfce4 xrdpSince the default configuration of xrdp after installation is the same port 3389 as the Windows Remote Desktop, in order to prevent conflicts with the Windows Remote Desktop, it is recommended to change it to another port.
sudo sed -i 's/3389/3390/g' /etc/xrdp/xrdp.iniIt is important to note this step. If not set, it will cause the remote desktop connection to crash later.
echo xfce4-session > ~/.xsessionsudo /etc/init.d/xrdp startIt is recommended to add this sentence to our .bashrc so that the remote desktop function is only turned on every time the system starts.
(1). Run the mstsc command to open a remote desktop connection in Windows systems
(2). Enter localhost:3390 for the address (note that the port number here should be consistent with the modified configuration above)
(3). Configure the resolution you want to enter, it is recommended to set it to full screen
Click here first
Then set the resolution
Drag the horizontal scroll bar to the far right to make it full screen
(4). Enter the account password used in WSL.
Take installing the Chinese input method as an example
First, you need to install the fcitx input method and related Chinese input method packages in Ubuntu
sudo apt install dbus-x11 im-config fonts-noto fcitx fcitx-pinyin fcitx-sunpinyin fcitx-googlepinyinfcitx-autostartNext, you need to add some environment variables in the ~/.profile file
echo 'export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8' >> ~/.profile
echo 'export INPUT_METHOD=fcitx' >> ~/.profile
echo 'export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx' >> ~/.profile
echo 'export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx' >> ~/.profileFinally, you need to restart WSL for these changes to take effect
wsl --shutdown
7.1 After a period of inactivity during remote connection, the screen goes black and cannot be entered.
presistent bitmap cache this option cannot be selected
(1). Open WSL and enter the following command to mount the Windows font directory to the WSL font directory
sudo mkdir /usr/share/fonts/winFonts
sudo mount --bind /mnt/c/Windows/Fonts /usr/share/fonts/winFonts(2). Update font cache
sudo fc-cache -fvnote: Please note that this method only works within the current session. If you want the font directory to be automatically mounted every time you start WSL, you can add the mount command to ~/.bashrc.
sudo mount --bind /mnt/c/Windows/Fonts /usr/share/fonts/winFonts
# As long as the mounting path has not changed, or you have not installed new fonts, the following command does not need to be executed every time.
# sudo fc-cache -fvnote：If your windows fonts are in your user's dedicated directory, then you may need to mount them like this
sudo mount --bind /mnt/c/Users/pc/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Fonts /usr/share/fonts/winFonts
sudo fc-cache -fvIn the above example, my user name is pc.
(3). Check whether a font has been installed in the current system
qinqing@DESKTOP-0MVRMOU:~/Desktop$ fc-list | grep -i sarasa
/usr/share/fonts/winFonts/sarasa-mono-sc-regular.ttf: Sarasa Mono SC,等距更纱黑体 SC:style=Regular
qinqing@DESKTOP-0MVRMOU:~/Desktop$ It may be because ALT is bound to other functions by the remote environment.Can be bound to other keys in the application.
If you use it yourself, having a password will cause trouble every time you log in.The following method can delete the user's password.
# in power shell
wsl --user root
# input root password if needed
passwd -d usernameIf it cannot be awakened normally after locking the screen, it will become impossible to enter again. Since we are using it remotely, we can completely disable this function.
