I wish to debug a Linux C++ console application from VS2017, as in these tutorials: Writing And Debugging Linux C Applications From Visual Studio Using The Windows Subsystem For Linux targeting windows subsystem for Linux from visual studio I have installed gdbserver and openssh-server in my WSL Ubuntu 16.04 installation, and sshd is running, but I cannot connect from VS2017. When I try, I get the error 'Connectivity Failure. Please make sure the host name and port number are correct' . Both the host name and port number are correct as far as I am concerned. I know that WSL is still Beta, so I

When I type python into my bash shell (Windows Subsystem for Linux) in Windows 10 Home, I get the following error message: The program 'python' can be found in the following packages: * python-minimal * python3 Try: sudo apt install <selected package> I've tried installing python3 but am told it's already installed and up to date.

If you

I'm using WSL with an ubuntu 18.04 distribution, in the bash I hit sudo -u postgres psql I get the following error: psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5433"? Then I tried other postgres operations like: sudo -u createdb mydb only to get the same error. Please advise. When running PostgreSQL on Ubuntu in Windows Subsystem for Linux, you may have to manually start the db server before you can connect. Use the command below to start your db server and then try
