When using window 10 system.
I have assessed the home directory of the WSL and manually move a python file into the following address
C:\Users\assa8\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc\LocalState\rootfs\home\lxr\demo
However, the python file did not show up when I use the 'ls' command in the Linux terminal and I also could not run it using command lines. It appears the file did not exist when I tried to access it through the terminal.
How can I fix it?
Thanks
If you are using WSL1 then the recommendations are to not under any situations edit or modify any Linux files inside of your %LOCALAPPDATA% folder using Windows apps or tools which includes moving files using file explorer. See this blog post from Microsoft https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/do-not-change-linux-files-using-windows-apps-and-tools/
If you are Using WSL2 that is a slightly different issue of which i cant help you right now as i am still using WSL1
You should do your dev work in the /mnt/c/ sub folders in WSL which will allow you to easily edit those same files on windows. Personally I work in a folder c:\projects\ which is mapped to /mnt/c/projects/ in WSL.

is it possible to get the directory path from Windows where for example "debian" was executed?
For example I open my projects with Visual Code and execute the NodsJs/npm projects from Windows WSL Debian. So it would be nice if "debian" is called from inside the Visual Code console that my linux subsystem auomatically joins the Windows directory from where I am coming.
Yes I am already using symlinks but then I have to create a symlink for each project. An automatically solution would be much more comfortable.
I googled and haven't found something regarding this. Would be great if someone can tell me if this is possible or not.
I was not sure what you meant but apparently there's a debian.exe that lands in the users home dir.
You can just use the wsl.exe to get the behavior that you described.
i.e. wsl.exe -d "Debian"
Which looks like this on the shell
PS C:\Users\PeterT> cd C:\DEV
PS C:\DEV> wsl.exe -d "Debian"
petert#debian:/mnt/c/DEV$
Im trying to run a .bat file on my server through php popen command, ive struggled and finally got to the point where all the permissions are set correctly and now i can actually execute the file but i have a problem. In my server logs it displays
foo.bat: line 1: mstsc: command not found, referer: http://dev.example.com
The full code in the file is mstsc /v:192.168.1.1 I know this means that it doesn't recognise the command on centos but im not sure what to do to fix the problem.
The aim of this code is to open RDP for the user who requested it. Bear in mind that this code works perfectly locally on my windows OS using xampp but when i upload it to the server running CENTOS it doesnt work.
My question is
How do i fix this error and allow CENTOS to execute a command that opens an RDP window for the user
MSTSC is a Windows RDP client which is why it works on Windows.
It's not available to run on CentOS, let alone call by executing a Windows batch file! You'll need to use an alternative solution like FreeRDP and use a script like this one if you want to do this from CentOS: https://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=CentOS_7&p=x&f=5
I feel like this is exactly what you're after
http://www.jjclements.co.uk/2010/02/21/rdp-hyperlink/
It allows you run a bat file that opens windows RDP without needing to write a single line of server code. Take a look its pretty good!
I was watching a speedy workflow tutorial about Atom text editor, and saw how the guy uses Linu commands like ls (to check the files in the directory), touch (to create files eg. style.css) and mkdir (to create folders). Now in my Atom editor I am able to open the command line using the following command.
CTRL + SHIFT + T
Now in my command line the default windows command line opens up, I am able to create folder using mkdir, but the commands touch and ls don't work, which makes me wonder weather Atom has its own command line?
See the SCREENSHOT to see how this guy is creating folders, files and using the ls command.
So my question is, how do I create files in Atom? How do I get the touch command to work?
It looks like the tutorial is using the Term2 package for opening a shell within the editor (http://code.tutsplus.com/courses/speedy-workflows-with-atom/lessons/term2). Since you seem to be able to open a terminal using the described screenshot, you seem to have the Term2 package installed - so far so good.
This package opens a standard command window within the editor. The tutorial seems to be using Linux or Mac OS X as the operating system. If you're running Windows, you will only have the Windows CMD interpreter available.
Windows does not natively support the touch command (but it has a mkdir command). There is a unxtools project that provides some of the common Gnu tools. If you install that, you should be able to run touch from the Windows command shell as well. More details can be found here.
I am trying to run a .run file in cygwin, but I always seem to get this error:
Unable to start '~.run': There is no application associated with the given file name extension.
I needed to be a superuser, so I tried using the command: cygstart --action=runas "$#"
I read somewhere that cygstart is for invoking registered Windows handler, so this may be the problem, but I am unsure. Is there any way that I can run my .run file as a superuser using cygwin?
Well, as has been said, no application is associated with .run files on your
system. So you can do that one of two ways
Call the file with the program, example
cygstart notepad.exe ~.run
Tell the registry what to do with unknown extensions
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown]
#=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell\Open\command]
#="notepad.exe \"%1\""
This question is not related to Cygwin but rather to Windows. cygstart works the same as Windows' start. That means, if you use [cyg]start file.extension it works very similarly as if you double-click on that file in Windows Explorer.
Therefore if you configure Windows to do what you need when you double-click on your *.run file, cygstart will work fine too.
I think that easier is to use appropriate extension which Windows already knows. It depends on what you have inside your *.run file. If it's executable, use exe extension, if it's batch script, use cmd or bat, if it's JavaScript, use js etc.
If you use Linux or some derivation, you need to execute the .run file with an absolute path, even if you have already navigated to the appropriate directory containing the file. See here:

im trying to install xampp on "new" linux mint machine.
However im quite a noob to linux since i havnt used it for that long.
When i try to run the file that ive download from the following page:
Xampp download
i get the following error two errors:
Could not display "/home/marc/Downloads/xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-0-installer.run".
and if i click yes
Installing mime type handlers isn't supported
To search and install software which can open certain file types you have to install app-install-data.
can anyone tell me what the problem is and how i might fix it?
you need to execute the file (e.g. open a terminal, navigate to your Downloads folder and run bash xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-0-installer.run (possibly it might need to be run otherwise, but thats my best guess)).
alternatively you might be presented to run/execute the file (instead of displaying it). if so, choose this option.
on the other hand, you might consider installing apache/php/mysql via your package manager.
what you can do is that you can use the chmod +x /your folder location/.run file that you want to install
after that you can run following command
./and your .run file name
example:-
in my case :- User#user~$su root
it will ask for password so give it
User#user~chmod +x /Downloads/xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-0-installer.run
User#user~./xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-0-installer.run
