3 | Statement of Purpose
4 |
5 | The laws of most jurisdictions throughout the world automatically confer
6 | exclusive Copyright and Related Rights (defined below) upon the creator and
7 | subsequent owner(s) (each and all, an "owner") of an original work of
8 | authorship and/or a database (each, a "Work").
9 |
10 | Certain owners wish to permanently relinquish those rights to a Work for the
11 | purpose of contributing to a commons of creative, cultural and scientific
12 | works ("Commons") that the public can reliably and without fear of later
13 | claims of infringement build upon, modify, incorporate in other works, reuse
14 | and redistribute as freely as possible in any form whatsoever and for any
15 | purposes, including without limitation commercial purposes. These owners may
16 | contribute to the Commons to promote the ideal of a free culture and the
17 | further production of creative, cultural and scientific works, or to gain
18 | reputation or greater distribution for their Work in part through the use and
19 | efforts of others.
20 |
21 | For these and/or other purposes and motivations, and without any expectation
22 | of additional consideration or compensation, the person associating CC0 with a
23 | Work (the "Affirmer"), to the extent that he or she is an owner of Copyright
24 | and Related Rights in the Work, voluntarily elects to apply CC0 to the Work
25 | and publicly distribute the Work under its terms, with knowledge of his or her
26 | Copyright and Related Rights in the Work and the meaning and intended legal
27 | effect of CC0 on those rights.
28 |
29 | 1. Copyright and Related Rights. A Work made available under CC0 may be
30 | protected by copyright and related or neighboring rights ("Copyright and
31 | Related Rights"). Copyright and Related Rights include, but are not limited
32 | to, the following:
33 |
34 | i. the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform, display, communicate,
35 | and translate a Work;
36 |
37 | ii. moral rights retained by the original author(s) and/or performer(s);
38 |
39 | iii. publicity and privacy rights pertaining to a person's image or likeness
40 | depicted in a Work;
41 |
42 | iv. rights protecting against unfair competition in regards to a Work,
43 | subject to the limitations in paragraph 4(a), below;
44 |
45 | v. rights protecting the extraction, dissemination, use and reuse of data in
46 | a Work;
47 |
48 | vi. database rights (such as those arising under Directive 96/9/EC of the
49 | European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal
50 | protection of databases, and under any national implementation thereof,
51 | including any amended or successor version of such directive); and
52 |
53 | vii. other similar, equivalent or corresponding rights throughout the world
54 | based on applicable law or treaty, and any national implementations thereof.
55 |
56 | 2. Waiver. To the greatest extent permitted by, but not in contravention of,
57 | applicable law, Affirmer hereby overtly, fully, permanently, irrevocably and
58 | unconditionally waives, abandons, and surrenders all of Affirmer's Copyright
59 | and Related Rights and associated claims and causes of action, whether now
60 | known or unknown (including existing as well as future claims and causes of
61 | action), in the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum
62 | duration provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time
63 | extensions), (iii) in any current or future medium and for any number of
64 | copies, and (iv) for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation
65 | commercial, advertising or promotional purposes (the "Waiver"). Affirmer makes
66 | the Waiver for the benefit of each member of the public at large and to the
67 | detriment of Affirmer's heirs and successors, fully intending that such Waiver
68 | shall not be subject to revocation, rescission, cancellation, termination, or
69 | any other legal or equitable action to disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the Work
70 | by the public as contemplated by Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
71 |
72 | 3. Public License Fallback. Should any part of the Waiver for any reason be
73 | judged legally invalid or ineffective under applicable law, then the Waiver
74 | shall be preserved to the maximum extent permitted taking into account
75 | Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose. In addition, to the extent the Waiver
76 | is so judged Affirmer hereby grants to each affected person a royalty-free,
77 | non transferable, non sublicensable, non exclusive, irrevocable and
78 | unconditional license to exercise Affirmer's Copyright and Related Rights in
79 | the Work (i) in all territories worldwide, (ii) for the maximum duration
80 | provided by applicable law or treaty (including future time extensions), (iii)
81 | in any current or future medium and for any number of copies, and (iv) for any
82 | purpose whatsoever, including without limitation commercial, advertising or
83 | promotional purposes (the "License"). The License shall be deemed effective as
84 | of the date CC0 was applied by Affirmer to the Work. Should any part of the
85 | License for any reason be judged legally invalid or ineffective under
86 | applicable law, such partial invalidity or ineffectiveness shall not
87 | invalidate the remainder of the License, and in such case Affirmer hereby
88 | affirms that he or she will not (i) exercise any of his or her remaining
89 | Copyright and Related Rights in the Work or (ii) assert any associated claims
90 | and causes of action with respect to the Work, in either case contrary to
91 | Affirmer's express Statement of Purpose.
92 |
93 | 4. Limitations and Disclaimers.
94 |
95 | a. No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned,
96 | surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.
97 |
98 | b. Affirmer offers the Work as-is and makes no representations or warranties
99 | of any kind concerning the Work, express, implied, statutory or otherwise,
100 | including without limitation warranties of title, merchantability, fitness
101 | for a particular purpose, non infringement, or the absence of latent or
102 | other defects, accuracy, or the present or absence of errors, whether or not
103 | discoverable, all to the greatest extent permissible under applicable law.
104 |
105 | c. Affirmer disclaims responsibility for clearing rights of other persons
106 | that may apply to the Work or any use thereof, including without limitation
107 | any person's Copyright and Related Rights in the Work. Further, Affirmer
108 | disclaims responsibility for obtaining any necessary consents, permissions
109 | or other rights required for any use of the Work.
110 |
111 | d. Affirmer understands and acknowledges that Creative Commons is not a
112 | party to this document and has no duty or obligation with respect to this
113 | CC0 or use of the Work.

1 | # List of interesting things found while testing.
2 | ---------------------------------------------------
3 | Please sort issues into the three categories. Major issues are ones that break the system. Moderate are issues that
4 | are a problem and more than an inconvenience. Minor issues are more quirks that dont appear to have serious
5 | repercussions.
6 |
7 | ## Major Issues
8 | ---------------
9 |
10 | ## Moderate Issues
11 | ------------------
12 | - Window resizing: (changing the side of the window that contains bash)
13 | - Moves focus far from cursor line
14 | - Text scrolling breaks if done
15 |
16 | ## Minor Issues
17 | ---------------
18 | - Common keyboard shortcuts like `Ctrl+C` and `Ctrl+V` do not work
19 | directly on bash window. You can access command like copy & paste by
20 | right-clicking on the title bar > edit > choose command. It is also
21 | possible to use `Enter` for copy and right mouse button for paste.
22 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/Program_Details.md:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 | # Program Details
2 | ------------------
3 | This file is to document behaviour of programs. The main README will serve as a quick note and give key points
4 | whereas this file will contain more in-depth details.
5 | Please place a `+` in the program name if there are more details than the notes
6 |
7 | Program | What works | What doesnt
8 | --------|------------|------------
9 | bash | Normal shell works fine | Scripting has problems. When hitting backspace during a `read` command the key comes up as a ^(box with questionmark inside). This seems to be the response for any unknown unicode character. Scripting gives unusual in that running `sh script` treats echo differently than `chmod +x script; ./script`. Escape characters and variables do not properly work in the latter.
10 | emacs | Emacs 24 as distributed with Ubuntu will hang when connecting to an X11 server, as previously noted. However, Emacs can be built from the FSF Git repo under WSL, and will work with X11. Tested was the "emacs-25" branch, built with the following configure arguments: "./configure --prefix=/usr/local --program-suffix=-25 --enable-locallisppath=/usr/share/emacs:/usr/share/emacs24 --with-sound=yes --with-gnutls --with-x -with-cairo=no --with-x-toolkit=gtk2 --with-wide-int --with-m17n-flt --with-file-notification=yes". Note that many development libraries need to be installed. Try "apt-get build-dep emacs24" to get most of them. | A build with the Gtk3 toolkit built and connected to X11, however the window failed to resize properly. With Gtk2, everything seems to work so far with the exception of clipboard sharing with Windows 10. This may be an issue with the X server.
11 | nginx | everything but IPv6 binding | IPv6: you need to remove it from your config. Default configuration: you need to add `master_process off;` to `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf`
12 | pip | nothing | Does not fully install **DO NOT** install with `--fix-missing`. This will create errors when upgrading through apt. The apt error reports back problems with `udev`, `systemd-services`, `libpam-systemd:amd64`, and `initramfs-tools`
13 | +sshuttle | normal ssh works fine | It won't pass traffic properly and [there is a problem](https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/767) with accessing `iptables`. This is tested on Windows 10 Home, ver 1607, Build 14393
14 | vim | Most functionality exists. Registers, panes, and buffers work as expected under current testing. Can create new linux files. Plugins are working | Problems with colorshemes and fonts

8 |
9 | A community powered list of programs that work (and those that don't) on the Windows subsystem for Linux. The official Microsoft repository for filing bugs, etc., is located at [Microsoft's BashOnWindows repo](https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows). This repo complements the offical one by providing a quick reference for how well programs run.
10 |
11 | Please feel free to contribute programs you have tested to the table below. If you need help with the markdown, please review [this markdown primer from gamejolt](https://help.gamejolt.com/markdown).
12 |
13 | To contribute, please make a Pull Request; I will merge if it looks good! If you have never made a pull request, it is fast and easy. Please check out the [Github documentation](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/).
