I have WSL with a directory ~/library created within WSL. Then I ran VSCode and opened this folder directly from Windows Explorer, causing to open it as a "local Windows" folder instead of WSL. Adding to the offense, I created 2 folders from VSCode (let's say foo and bar) inside library.
The cost of doing this is that now I can't delete these folders, either from Windows Explorer or WSL (sudo rmdir foo or sudo rm -rf foo). In Windows and Ubuntu I'm getting access denied errors. I am both Windows admin and root user.
Would be any workaround for removing them?
Maybe a little too late but to remove folder in your wsl just open your wsl/ubuntu terminal. cd /to get to your root. ls to find where you created the folder, in my case it was in: home/user/projects folder, cd home/user/projects. Type this command: rm -r folder-name, then ls to verify that the folder has been remove.

I followed the steps below, but I couldn't find the right key.
1. open command prompt (CMD)
2. enter SSH-keygen and press enter
3. press enter to all settings. now your key is saved in c:\\Users.ssh\\id_rsa.pub
Please tell me how to solve it.
Before executing CMD command, do the following.
WIN key → Apps & features → optional features → Install open SSH client
enter image description here
I found a notable exception that in Windows 10, using the described route only wrote the files to the folder if the file names where not specified in the ssh-keygen generator.
giving a custom key name caused the files containing the RSA public and private keys not to be written to the folder.
Open the windows command line
Type ssh-keygen
Leave file name blank, just press return,
Set your passphrase
Generate your key files. They will now exist. and be stored in c:/Users/YourUserName/.ssh/

I am using the Fish shell (version 3.3.1) on MacOS. Every time I run a command it shows this error multiple times:
error: Unable to open universal variable file '/': Permission denied
The commands still run perfectly, but it's very annoying to see these errors. They are still on the screen even after a clear command.
Fish has a feature where it'll store so called "universal" variables to a file on disk, so they can easily be persisted and shared among open fishes.
This error:
error: Unable to open universal variable file '/': Permission denied
Shows that fish is trying to open the file at "/", the root of the filesystem. This points to a misconfiguration, because "/" isn't a file, by definition. It's a directory.
The file is supposed to be in the config directory, which is at:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fish, if that variable is set
$HOME/.config/fish, if it isn't
I can't find the specific sequence to reproduce this, but it appears that $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or $HOME are set when fish is started (by its parent process, probably the terminal), and to non-functional values.
Was having this same issue after installing using brew install fish.
What finally worked was uninstalling fish.
brew uninstall fish
Then removing fish from my .config folder.
cd ~
rm -rf .config/fish
Then I just installed fish using the fish GUI installer.

I am using XMing to run Emacs from WSL, which is working quite well. My issue is when trying to share folders between Windows and WSL. I have tried the following:
Project located in the Windows file system, accessed via /mnt/ in WSL
Symlink (created in WSL bash) of project located in the Windows file system
Copy the project to the WSL file system
Out of the 3 listed options, only the last works with projectile (and likely other Emacs packages). But I need to be able to access/modify the files from Windows as well, so that is not a viable option.
Has anyone found a good solution for this?
I do it so (also to sync between Windows_laptop & Ubuntu_pc):
I have folder "workspace"
and symlinks to it: windows symlink under win and linux symlink under linux.
%USERPROFILE%\Cloud\workspace
for Win usage:
made windows symlink: %USERPROFILE%\workspace -> %USERPROFILE%\Cloud\workspace
for Ubuntu usage (WSL):
made linux symlink: ~/workspace -> /mnt/C/Users/USER/Cloud/workspace
May this help?
One of the advantages of WSL (windows subsystem for Linux) is that you can share files easily with your windows.
I have used the below codes with WSL Ubuntu (but this should work with other versions of Linux as well). Using /mnt will do all the magic.
Syntax:- cd /mnt/drive/Folder/Subfolder
Sample code:- cd /mnt/c/Users/Saswat

First time working in GitHub, and I am not sure how to access to the "terminal". Any idea? Do I need to install it?
It depends on your platform.
Windows:
Right click the start menu and select command prompt. Or search for command prompt in the start menu.
Mac:
Search for 'terminal' using spotlight.
Linux:
Search for 'terminal' in the menu, or use the shortcut ctrl + alt + t
Many people use the commandline, in a terminal to interact with github remote repositories. Depending on the OS you're using, the terminal works in different ways.
In any case, git is the application/commandline software your looking for. With git you can create, commit, etc:
> git init
> git add -A
> git commit -m 'first commit!'
> git push origin master
If you're not terminal-ly inclined, you could try the desktop client: https://desktop.github.com/

Goal: Under OSX, From the command line, open a file in eclipse.
Environment:
OSX 10.7
Eclipse Indigo Java EE bundle (3.7.1)
Expectation:
cd to directory eclipse is installed from.
run:
./eclipse --launcher.openFile notice.html
Eclipse opens with the file 'notice.html' open/editable
What happens:
Eclipse opens but the file isn't loaded. :(
I explicitly want to do this from the command line, I'm NOT interested in opening the file via Finder->Open With->Choose Eclipse.app
Here is an article that seems to indicate that I should be able to do this:
http://aniefer.blogspot.com/2010/05/opening-files-in-eclipse-from-command.html
If there is another way to communicate with an already open eclipse to open a file that would be acceptable as well.
Eventually I'd like to use:
open //path-to-Eclipse.app --args --launcher.openFile //path-to-file
...to communicate my desire for the file to open in the current instance of the running eclipse.
But for now I'm just trying to see if there is ANY way to open a file
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help/pointers :)
I agree with Bavarious. I always use open -a to open a specific file in a GUI app from the command line.
