Fix DNS resolution in WSL2
More recent resolution:
1. cd ~/../../etc (go to etc folder in WSL).
2. echo "[network]" | sudo tee wsl.conf (Create wsl.conf file and add the first line).
3. echo "generateResolvConf = false" | sudo tee -a wsl.conf (Append wsl.conf the next line).
4. wsl --terminate Debian (Terminate WSL in Windows cmd, in case is Ubuntu not Debian).
5. cd ~/../../etc (go to etc folder in WSL).
6. sudo rm -Rf resolv.conf (Delete the resolv.conf file).
7. In windows cmd, ps or terminal with the vpn connected do: Get-NetIPInterface or ipconfig /all for get the dns primary and

Install pdflatex ubuntu

PdfLatex is a tool that converts Latex sources into PDF. This is specifically very important for researchers, as they use it to publish their findings. It could be installed very easily using Linux terminal, though this seems an annoying task on Windows. Installation commands are given below.

  • Install the TexLive base
sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-base
  • Also install the recommended and extra fonts to avoid running into the error [1], when trying to use pdflatex on latex files with more fonts.

WSL 2 - Enabling systemd

Enable systemd in WSL 2

NOTE: If you have Windows 11 there is now an official way to do this in WSL 2, use it if possible - see MS post here (WINDOWS 11 ONLY)

This guide will enable systemd to run as normal under WSL 2. This will enable services like microk8s, docker and many more to just work during a WSL session. Note: this was tested on Windows 10 Build 2004, running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS in WSL 2.

  • To enable systemd under WSL we require a tool called systemd-genie

  • Copy the contents of install-sg.sh to a new file /tmp/install-sg.sh:

Docker installation guide for WSL2 with Debian

Installation

Prerequisites

  • Windows 11, or Windows 10 version 1903 or higher, with Build 18362 or higher, for x64 systems, and Version 2004 or higher, with Build 19041 or higher, for ARM64 systems
  • Basic linux command line understanding
  • Optional: Windows terminal application

On host machine

Guix on WSL2

(updated versions of this document, plus more, live here)

This will show you how to get Guix running on WSL2.
We're going to go as "minimal" as possible, without starting off one of the readily available WSL2 distros.
Parts of this guide should help with understanding how to set up any custom distro on WSL, not just Guix.

Disclaimer: I'm a Guix nOOb! (hence going through the trouble of installing it on WSL2)

guix notes

overview

  • guix is pronounced geeks
  • guix wants linux-libre kernel for containerization
  • changing any input to a guix package definition results in a different hash on disk (different directory)
