kandi X-RAY | lxss Summary

lxss is a C++ library typically used in Video, Video Utils applications. lxss has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has medium support. You can download it from GitHub.

This repository is dedicated to research, code, and various studies of the Windows Subsystem for Linux, also known as Bash on Ubuntu on Windows, and LXSS. It contains a variety of Proof-of-Concept Win32 and Linux binaries, both in user-mode and kernel-mode, in order to interact with the various subsystem pieces. Namely, it demonstrates usage of the Win32 COM interface between Bash.exe and LxssManager, as well as of the ADSS Bus interface between init and LxssManager. For Redstone 2, it shows off some of the new interoperability features of the subsystem. The PDF titled "The Linux Kernel hidden inside Windows 10" represents the BlackHat 2016 slides from my presentation, and a video is now available on Youtube at: If you would like to know more about my research or work, I invite you check out my blog at as well as my training & consulting company (Winsider Seminars & Solutions Inc.,) at

Linking SDL2 statically without pulling in X11 dynamically

Asked 2020-Dec-14 at 22:56

I am using SDL2.0.12 on Ubuntu 20.04. I link statically to SDL2, adding the linker argument:

`sdl2-config --static-libs`

So far, so good.

However, the SDL static link flags pull in a slew of SDL2 dependencies, that are linked dynamically:

ANSWER

Answered 2020-Dec-14 at 22:56

The SDL development libraries provided in Ubuntu have many dynamic dependencies. Even for the static libSDL2.a library.

When building SDL2 from source, you can avoid these.

For instance, to avoid a dependency on X11, you would feed it these autoconf flags:

What is the location of .bashrc on WSL?

Asked 2019-Apr-16 at 23:28

I am using Windows Subsystem for Linux and am trying to find my terminal's .bashrc file.

Other threads generally indicate one of two locations:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc\LocalState\rootfs\home\{LINUXUSER}\

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Lxss\home\USERNAME

On my machine, the Local folder does not contain an Lxss subdirectory, so that eliminates the second option, and the home folder does not contain anything so that eliminates the first option. Where can I find .bashrc?

Where has C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\lxss gone under Windows Fall Creators Update

Asked 2018-Jun-25 at 21:26

A popular development pipeline, and one of the benefits of the Windows Subsystem for linux is to use a Linux based developer toolchain, i.e. gcc etc within WSS and then to access those build artifacts from Windows. In earlier versions of Windows 10 (1703 and earlier), you could access the Windows Subsystem for Linux file system via:

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\lxss

This allowed you to access 'Linux' files from Windows.

Strictly speaking you were not supposed to modify any files there - but it was useful for read access.

Reference: https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/402#issuecomment-220585695

Under the Fall Creators Update of Windows 10 (1709), this seems to have disappeared.

Where has it gone? Clearly a workaround is to, as the last stage of the built pipeline copy out of Linux into Windows using the /mnt mount, but not being access the files from windows seems like it must be a problem for many developers.

...

ANSWER

Answered 2017-Oct-18 at 22:45

It seems that in order to support the capability to install several different installations of the Windows Subsystem for Linux, storing the file system in fixed location no longer made sense.

I created a unique file name in the /home/username directory, and then searched for it from Windows.

In my particular case the file system is stored in:

C:\Users\donal\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc\LocalState\rootfs\home\username

It seems likely that the location varies on every installation.

Where to get linux-headers-4.4.0-17134-Microsoft for Intel ICC compiler?

Asked 2018-May-21 at 19:11

I'm installing Intel Parallel studio cluster on the LXSS on Windows 10 64 bits 17134. I'm asked to get kernel headers linux-headers-4.4.0-17134-Microsoft (in the debian/ubuntu case). Where can I get this ? (not mentioned by google) Is it fine to use linux-headers-4.4.0 instead ? My understanding is that there is a kernel interface translation linux kernel-windows kernel. Is it safe to use the standard header ?

...

ANSWER

Answered 2018-May-21 at 19:11

So, this is a bit of a funny situation. Those header files don't technically exist, because there is no "4.4.0-17134-Microsoft" Linux kernel. The system is running on an NT kernel.

A standard set of Linux 4.4.0 headers (like the linux-headers-4.4.0 package you mentioned) should be an appropriate substitute for most purposes. You won't be able to build kernel modules in this environment, though, as there is no Linux kernel to load them into.

how to change matplotlibrc default directory

Asked 2017-Aug-23 at 06:51

I'm currently using anaconda and python 3.6 on windows bash. Every time i want to use matplotlib I have to paste a copy of the matplotlibrc file into my working directory otherwise my code won't run or plot and I get the warning - /home/computer/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/matplotlib/init.py:1022: UserWarning: could not find rc file;returning defaults

my matplotlibrc file is located at C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\lxss\home\puter\anaconda3\lib\python3.6\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data

I thought to fix this I could edit my .condarc file and set it to look for matplotlibrc in the correct directory. Could anyone tell me how to do this?

...

ANSWER

Answered 2017-Aug-23 at 06:51

It looks like when anaconda or matplotlib was installed it's created the matplotlibrc file in C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\lxss\home\puter\anaconda3\lib\py‌thon3.6\site-package‌s\matplotlib\mpl-dat‌a using the windows environment. This has caused the file not to be recognised in WSL.

To fix this create another matplotlibrc file in bash or whatever shell you're using. In the directory listed above copy the contents of the previously created matplotlibrc file into your new matplotlibrc file. Make sure you don't create this file in the windows environment otherwise it won't be recognised.

ANSWER

Answered 2017-Jul-17 at 05:26

Unfortunately, you have to install the java JDK again on Windows in order to correctly link it to IntelliJ. Windows apps cannot reference/access/modify linux files or programs due the two kernels being incompatible, thus making it impossible for you to access your WSL installation of JDK 8 from Windows.
