Run Ubuntu Unity through Windows 10

Όπως γνωρίζετε, το Windows 10 Anniversary Update έρχεται με τη λειτουργία Bash του Ubuntu. Πρόκειται για μια εφαρμογή που παρέχει πρόσβαση σε όλα τα χαρακτηριστικά του τερματικού του Linux, περιέχει ένα βασικό σύνολο εργαλείων, η οποία μπορεί να επεκταθεί χρησιμοποιώντας τον προεπιλεγμένο διαχειριστή πακέτων του Ubuntu. Μοιάζει σαν μια εικονική μηχανή Ubuntu εγκατεστημένη στο Windows, σαν υποσύστημα Linux. Φανταστείτε τώρα να μπορούσατε να τρέξετε το Unity, το προεπιλεγμένο περιβάλλον of Ubuntu on Windows 10! windows 10 ubuntu

Yes it is possible. Let's see how it can be done.

Before proceeding, you should turn on the Bash for Ubuntu from the Windows settings.1

Then you need to have a third server s for GUI applications to run on Ubuntu on Windows 10. Ubuntu's built-in X Server will not start if you don't install it. A good X Server application for Windows is the app Xming. To install it, follow the steps listed in official webpage.

After installing Xming on Windows 10, follow these steps:.

Open Bash in Ubuntu from the Start menu of Windows 10 and run it in the bash:

echo "export DISPLAY =: 0.0" >> ~ / .bashrc

Edit the file

 /etc/dbus-1/session.conf

This can be done by using the nano editor from the console. Type this:

 nano /etc/dbus-1/session.conf

Find Point:

unix: tmpdir = / tmp

And change it to it:

tcp: host = localhost, port = 0

Press Ctrl + O to save the file and then Ctrl + X to exit nano.

Let's install the Unity and a few utilities:

 install ubuntu-desktop unity compizconfig-settings-manager

Now, type in bash and it will launch Unity after a few seconds!2

If you can not see your mouse pointer, you will need to open the compizconfig-settings-manager and enable the plugins:5
