Thank you siliconbeaver. Do you have a reference that would lead me though adding NVMe Boot Support to an HP EliteDesk G1?

One of my backup PC's is an hp Elitedesk 705 G1 SFF. It is the backup PC for the data system for some of my test instrumentation. OS is Win 11 Pro 24H2 and OS Build is 26100 7309. Main use of this PC is a Firefox window on one of the cameras in the Virtual Railfan network. Even though PC has...

Thank you for asking the question. Here is why my update is important: 1. hp has put some sort of protection on this particular laptop that prevents the normal Ubuntu installation software from doing the installation. 2. WSL gets unstable when you open hyperlinks in Evolution email that cause...

Six weeks out-of-office with going back and forth to Europe on Queen Mary 2. Everything worked, no failures and no need to unpack backup laptop). Only operational problem was that I was using device so much that the lettering is coming off the keys. Main Linux program I use is Gnome Evolution...

Thank you very much for your reply. "WARN COPY" shows when more than several wsl windows are open. For example, evolution, nemo, libreoffice, and pdfstudiopro 2004. I use Win 11 for MS EDGE or firefox. I suspect I am pushing the limits of wsl. I am on extended business trip so now is not the...

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
