You’ll find this post in your `_posts` directory. Go ahead and edit it and re-build the site to see your changes. You can rebuild the site in many different ways, but the most common way is to run `jekyll serve`, which launches a web server and auto-regenerates your site when a file is updated.
|
||||
|
||||
To add new posts, simply add a file in the `_posts` directory that follows the convention `YYYY-MM-DD-name-of-post.ext` and includes the necessary front matter. Take a look at the source for this post to get an idea about how it works.
|
||||
|
||||
Jekyll also offers powerful support for code snippets:
|
||||
|
||||
{% highlight ruby %}
|
||||
def print_hi(name)
|
||||
puts "Hi, #{name}"
|
||||
end
|
||||
print_hi('Tom')
|
||||
#=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.
|
||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
||||
|
||||

Think Xfce looks dated? Want a conventional Ubuntu experience? This tutorial will guide you through installing Ubuntu's default desktop environment, GNOME.
|
||||
|
||||
GNOME is one of the more complex — and that means more difficult to run — desktop environments, so [for](https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/8dnyig/using_a_gui_with_wsl_on_windows_10_ubuntu_wsl/) [years](https://www.reddit.com/r/bashonubuntuonwindows/comments/9amqjr/gnome_desktop_using_vcxsrv_cant_make_it_work/) [people](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1169695/gnome-under-ubuntu-18-04-for-windows-wont-run) [couldn't](https://superuser.com/questions/1559755/gnome-desktop-environment-on-ubuntu-wsl-starting-error) [figure](https://www.reddit.com/r/bashonubuntuonwindows/comments/haof3n/cant_run_gnome_in_ubuntu_2004_lts_wsl/) [out](https://www.reddit.com/r/bashonubuntuonwindows/comments/eqwoxy/gnome_and_kde_in_wsl/) [how](https://www.reddit.com/r/bashonubuntuonwindows/comments/8dp2yu/gnome_or_kde_on_wsl/) [to](https://www.reddit.com/r/bashonubuntuonwindows/comments/hh0q9s/gnomesession_wsl2/) [run](https://www.reddit.com/r/bashonubuntuonwindows/comments/b222hp/running_everything_on_gnome/) [it](https://www.reddit.com/r/bashonubuntuonwindows/comments/8yfw8z/gnome_on_windows/) on WSL 2. On [WSL 1](https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/637) it could only run using very complicated methods that didn't transfer to well WSL 2. Any forlorn attempts to run it on WSL 2 only resulted in a smoldering heap of error messages.
|
||||
|
||||
__But now you can!__
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements:
|
||||
- WSL 2
|
||||
- Ubuntu 20.04 (other distros not tested)
|
||||
- An X server for Windows, such as [VcXsrv](https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/)
|
||||
- Basic knowledege on how to run GUI apps with WSL 2 (not required but highly recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Getting ready
|
||||
|
||||
You've been regularly updating your distro, haven't you?
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo apt update
|
||||
sudo apt upgrade
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Install GNOME: (maybe go eat a snack while it's installing?)
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop gnome
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Open up your `~/.bashrc`:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
nano ~/.bashrc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And paste this in at the end and save:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
export DISPLAY=$(cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep nameserver | awk '{print $2}'):0
|
||||
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you try to start GNOME now, you'll get a lot of errors. Something along the lines of this, but a ton more errors:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
|
||||
|
||||
(gnome-session-check-accelerated:6054): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:04:51.973: cannot open display: :0
|
||||
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
|
||||
|
||||
(gnome-session-check-accelerated:6055): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:04:52.234: cannot open display: :0
|
||||
gnome-session-binary[6044]: WARNING: software acceleration check failed: Child process exited with code 1
|
||||
gnome-session-binary[6044]: CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry....
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The trick is to enable `systemd`: (note that this does break a lot of stuff such as Visual Studio Code Remote)
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/DamionGans/ubuntu-wsl2-systemd-script.git
|
||||
cd ubuntu-wsl2-systemd-script/
|
||||
bash ubuntu-wsl2-systemd-script.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now shut down WSL 2: (run this in Windows)
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
wsl --shutdown
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Starting GNOME
|
||||
|
||||
First, fire up your X server on Windows. Make sure you let it through your firewall and disable access control.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, start up Ubuntu again and start GNOME:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
gnome-session
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't get any error messages, you should be good. Wait a few seconds for GNOME to start up.

|
||||
|
||||
Now you have a great GUI desktop and you won't need any intensive virtual machines anymore!
|
||||
|
||||
Profit?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- The settings app and app store think you are not connected to the internet yet you can `ping google.com`?
|
||||
- You can disable the screensaver with `gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 0`.
|
||||
- You can also try KDE Plamsa using a similar method! Just `sudo apt install kde-plasma-desktop` instead and start it with `startplasma-x11`.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
If you can't get this to work, try [Xfce](https://github.com/QMonkey/wsl-tutorial/blob/master/README.wsl2.md).
|
||||
|
||||
If you still can't get it to work, you can ask for help on an online forum such as [r/bashonubuntuonwindows](https://www.reddit.com/r/bashonubuntuonwindows/).
