wsl-gui-desktop's Introduction

wsl-gui-desktop

Simple script I wrote to make a command that launches GUI desktop in wsl


How to setup:

  • Download the script file to any Ubuntu directory (you can access your Ubuntu directories by typing \\wsl$ in Windows File Explorer Address Bar)
  • Source the script file in your default terminal (normally bash). For example if you have the script in your home folder, add source ~/desktop.h at end of .bashrc (this file is a bash config file in your Ubuntu home folder)
  • Download the remaining config files in any Windows folder. (They need to be in a Windows directory and not a Ubuntu directory because they are launched using Window's cmd)
  • Edit the paths in the script file to point to your downloaded Xlaunch files.

How to use:

  • usual command: launch-desktop
  • parameters: large window, no titlebar, full screen (you can type with or without hyphen
  • default parameter (if you only type launch-desktop without anything else): large window (can be changed)
  • requires sudo access Eg: type launch-desktop full-screen and enter password to launch a full screen GUI.

Note: this script assumes you have the provided config files in your personal folder(in Windows) with username "Dell" Edit: I have added a comment to help you change this default path if needed
