Thank you very much, Berton, for your help. I agree with you fully. Your suggestion for changing window size works as you described for a Firefox window, Also, it works for a window containing a document being edited with LibreOffice. Where it does not work under LibreOffice is in the "save...

Thank you very much, Berton. Your suggestion does not work on my pc (hp laptop 17-3005dx) running Ubuntu 25.04 through WSL. Have I missed something? John

Ubuntu 25.04 working under wsl2. Save As dialog box always too wide and too high to enter file name and file type. For example, if I open a LibreOffice document running under WSL/Ubuntu 25.04, the dialog box is too tall to see the spot to enter the file name. This also occurs with other...

I am basically a Linux (Ubuntu) user, and have PC s set as dual boot with Win for clients who want my reports in pure Adobe PDF and pure PowerPoint, as well as scientific instrument signals that get processed by a Win-based program. Everything else runs Linux, and I use various versions of PDF...

I apologize for delay in completing my message. The two penguin icons in the Windows Taskbar are a text window entitled, "WSL Debug Console: and a GUI window entitled, "Windows Subsystem for Linux Settings" In the lower left-hand corner is a click-on text entitled, "Launch wsl.exe". Clicking...

Something happened in the middle of the night and this morning there was WSL terminal window showing with Linux prompt along with several debug terminal windows without prompts. I entered "nemo" and a nemo (like file explorer) GUI came up. I entered "evolution" and my email returned and so on...

Hello Berton. Thank you very much for your reply. The problem was neither the Epson drivers nor the USB cable and connection. The problem was the "print spooler". Once that was cleared, everything worked.' John

WSL2 will not load after windows update C:\Windows.old\Users\cigto.LAPTOP-TCRMNQRV\AppData\Local\Temp\ tries to start WSL2? pc WANTS TO INSTALL wsl.2.5.7.0.x64.msi IN ANY CASE WSL2 Ubuntu 25,04 is dead! C:\Windows.old\Users\cigto.LAPTOP-TCRMNQRV\AppData\Local\Temp\ CANNOT RU WSL2 and WIN...

All my WSL2 windows have "WARN:COPY MODE" on them. What does that mean? Is there an error on WSL2 that I need to correct? Thank you, John

Thank you very much, x509. As I mentioned earlier, I'm on a shakedown mission with the hp laptop and have to have it fully functional for everything I do (except chromatography data acquisition) by 30 June. I am just making tweaks such as getting Nemo to take the place of Win File Explorer...

Thank you. Version is Insider Build. However, this has been a continuing problem with my two epson printers under Win 11. How do I get copies of the correct drivers from Epson? Win 11 does not see the scanner side of the ET-4850. John

This has been an increasing problem where Win 11 cannnot find USB printer. On hp laptop 17-cp;3005dx can print test page, but Epson Print and Scan cannot find it. I use USB. Wifi too complicated with this PC and cell phones etc. Epson used to have a connect utility that fixed such problems...

Thank you, jimbo, for your help. Right now, I am too far along the way to setting this laptop to be primary PC for a long trip beginning soon. Backujp laptop will be a small Lenovo one. One very important thing I found out this morning is that install software from the Linux prompt can put it...

Thank you very much for your help on getting 25.04. Unlike the first time I tried WSL, one had to do a sudo apt update before doing anything else. I have only focused on getting Synaptic, Evolution, Nemo, and Libreoffice running. I have not gotten any of the desktops to start. I generally...

Running WSL2 in production on hp Laptop 17-cp3005dx. I do not know if setting memory and swap file size to 2X default is actually doing anything real or not. Running Firefox on WSL works, but appears to create conflict. Use WSL for Gnome Evolution, LibreOffice, Nemo (like file explorer), and...
