How To Install Xfce On Cygwin
Our MySQL specialist Peter Laursen shares his hands-on experience with the new anniversary from and provides a step to step guide on how to add a GUI to the new bash console in Windows 10.(update: a new and related blog was published few days later than this one )In this update, released on August 2nd Windows supports the Unix/Linux “bash” shell natively. This is not virtualization and it does not require Cygwin or a similar layer “sitting between” the Unix program and the Windows kernel (or “NT kernel” if you like that term better). The Windows kernel has been modified to understand the “bash” command and quite of lot commands and utilities running in bash exactly like on Unix-type Operating systems.
Refer Microsoft’s. Also, the below video (among others) is worth watching.It is Canonical that provides the Unix/Linux binaries and the Unix/Linux dialect/flavor is Ubuntu. But still, this is not “Linux”.
It is also not “GNU/Linux”. For the simple reason that no Linux kernel is involved at all. It is rather “GNU/Windows” (though Microsoft avoids any reference to GNU). Historically the GNU Operating System was released with GNU’s own kernel.
However – when completed – Linus Torvalds’s “Linux” kernel proved superior and replaced the original GNU kernel in the GNU project. Also BSD etc. Kernels will support (most of) the GNU subsystem. And now the Windows kernel does too.But “to some extent” only. It is currently in beta and Microsoft will probably never support all Unix system calls in their kernel.
Microsoft’s scope and intention is primarily to “bring bash to Windows”. This may partly be because the Windows “Powershell” introduced with Windows 7 (or was it Vista?) never gained popularity and widespread use. Personally, I also think it is a little awkward to use. But for 10+ years there has been a need for a more powerful Windows console than the traditional “cmd.exe”, what is actually little more than a clone of the 30+ year old DOS command interpreter.
So now we have both “Powershell” and “bash” to play with in Windows.How to get started.To run bash in Windows 10 just ensure that you have the “anniversary update” installed. Further, you must navigate to Windows 10 settings. Updates and security. For developers. And here check the option to define the machine as a “machine for development”.
That’s almost all. Now you open a command window and type “bash”.
Bash will be downloaded and after a few and simple configuration steps you are ready. This elaborates on details(with screenshots).To see it in action just try to filter the content of your Windows home folder with a regular expression using a typical Unix command “ll grep Do”. The technical description you are providing is not very accurate. The “Windows Subsystem for Linux” that Microsoft is providing in this update, does not require Cygwin to run applications. The subsystem provides system calls that are compatible with the Linux kernel. This means that Linux binaries can run natively on the NT kernel, without requiring compilation or other special tricks. Canonical is providing the userspace side of this solution, but in theory you could run any flavour of Linux userspace.
One thing to note, is that what we recognize as Windows, is actually the Win32 subsystem running on the NT kernel.More information:. 3. Now, there are many ways to scroll – at least1) scrollbar2) arrow keys3) mouse scroll wheel4) touch screen5) two-finger gesture on touchpadFor no other reasons than historical ones, I myself mostly use the scrollbar. It has simply become a habit. Even the mouse scrollwheel was not invented when I started using a computer GUI interface (Windows 3.1 and OS2 v.2) back in the 1980’s.i have seen some other websites where the scrollbar looks the sames here.

The various toolkits for web development today mostly assume availablity of other and more convenient scroll options than the scrollbar (and focuses on providing a design fit for smartphones and tablets). However in particular users with a 3+ year laptop running Win7 (or older Windows) or Linux laptop users will not always have other options than scrollbar and arrow keys (no mouse, no touchscreen, no gesture support on touchpad).So, though I think that both you and I will have to accept that one (maybe not so far) day the scrollbar may cease to exist as a common control, I have asked for improvement for the users for whom using the scrollbar is the best option. 6. I have confused with your explanation above:1) Ensure that the Windows 10 “anniversary update” is installed and the machine is configured as a “machine for development”.2) Install an X-server on Windows and keep it running in the system tray.3) Install bash. Type “bash” in a command window, accept and go through the few configuration steps.4) Now you just need to execute the statements below in a command window (approve installation of dependencies listed):In Point number 2 that says “Install an X-server on Windows”, how do I install it? What command should I type?Please I’m waiting your reply. 10.
Even though you have installed MySQ (server) in ‘bash on Windows’ I think it is not running. ‘bash on Windows’ is not a (virtualized) Operating system. It is just a shell and services do not run here.If I am right, you may still be able to start MySQL (but not as a service) with a “mysqldsafe” command. Something like “mysqldsafe –datadir= –port=xxxx” or “mysqldsafe –datadir= defaults-file=”. In any case you should specify a port not conflicting with any MySQl server running in Windows (if you have).

‘bash on Windows’ does not create a private network interface for itself. Not sure either where apt/Ubutu puts the datadir, but it could be /var/lib/mysql.However i would not do it that way around. I would have the MySQL server running as a native Windows service and (sometimes) use clients running in bash. It is a funny and interesting execercise what you are doing here, but not much more IMO.
