this program only runs compressed tarball archive 16.04 - 14.04 series other versions not working (16.10 and newer version )
I've updated the README, and added some instructions for installing Ubuntu 16.10 and newer. If you think the way provided in the project's wiki too complex, you can also install Ubuntu 16.04 and upgrade to a newer version using Code: do-release-upgrade It is readlly difficult to support other formats of disk images. This program just calls lxrun.exe, which only supports compressed tarballs.
Running that command outputs 'no new release found'. It is clear one needs to manually install any upgrade above the default Xenial.
First test: On my mounted virtual NTFS VHD disk with source files => F: Code: me@max:~$ cd /mnt/f/dev me@max:/mnt/f/dev$ echo ÅÄÖ > ÅÄÖ.TXT me@max:/mnt/f/dev$ echo åäö > åäö.txt me@max:/mnt/f/dev$ cat åäö.txt åäö me@max:/mnt/f/dev$ cat ÅÄÖ.TXT ÅÄÖ Compare with Powershell Code: PS F:\dev> Get-Content ÅÄÖ.TXT ÅÄÖ PS F:\dev> Get-Content åäö.txt ÅÄÖ Compare with Cygwin Code: $ _cd "F:\dev" /cygdrive/f/dev me@max /cygdrive/f/dev $ cat ÅÄÖ.TXT ÅÄÖ $ cat åäö.txt åäö
It seems launching Windows apps from the terminal is not working. It would request to install any of them when already installed. For example, launching a particular text file with notepad.
Sorry, I didn't explain clearly enough on this. Just follow these instructions: Open /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and change "Prompt=lts" to "Prompt=normal". Run "do-release-upgrade", or "do-release-upgrade -d" if you need development releases.
There is one thing I notice in yakkety that it slows the system performance. Xenial is way better when it comes to that in Build 16176 or 16179.
