Installing WSL Ubuntu 22.04 on Windows 11

1. Enable Windows Subsystem for Linux and Virtual Machine platform

Go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off

2. Switch to WSL 2

Open Powershell and type in the below command.

wsl --set-default-version 2

If you don't have WSL 2, download the latest WSL 2 package and install it.

3. Install Ubuntu

Open Microsoft Store and search for Ubuntu. Select the version you intend to install. I'd use the latest LTS version Ubuntu 22.04. Click on the Get button.

It will take a couple of minutes to download and install.

4. Open up the installed Ubuntu version that was installed.

If you get an error like the below image, make sure to install the WSL2 Kernel update.

If it's an older Ubuntu version the error message would be something like the image below.

Error: WSL 2 requires an update to its kernel component.

Installing the WSL2 kernel update should fix this issue. Then close the Ubuntu window and open it up again.

It will ask for the Language, username, and password like below.

In the mount settings, you can leave the defaults.

It will take a minute or two to apply the changes.

Hit enter to reboot Ubuntu WSL.

Now, we have installed the WSL 2.

Java, how to create a list with a single element

I wanted to create a Java List with a single element. Yet, I wanted to add more elements later. So, I was looking for a couple of ways to do this. So far there are multiple elegant ways to create a list with a single element with a one-liner. Not so much for a modifiable list though. Here's what I gathered so far. Followings are a few ways of creating a list with strictly a single entry. Can't add more elements. 1. Collections.singletonList() This returns an immutable list that cannot be modified or add more elements. // An immutable list containing only the specified object. List<String> oneEntryList = Collections. singletonList ( "one" ) ; oneEntryList.add( "two" ) ; // throws UnsupportedOperationException 2. Arrays.asList() This returns a fixed-size list consisting of the number of elements provided as arguments. The number of elements provided would be an array hence the size is fixed to the length of the array. // Returns a fixed-size list List...

Ubuntu DNS issue fix DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG

Issue I've been playing with a VPN and somehow it messed up my DNS resolution configurations. Chrome gives DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG error and can't ping google. So it seemed to be an issue with the DNS. Of course, restarting didn't fix it. I tried DNS lookup which gave me below. To make sure this is somehting to do with my DNS confgis, I ran the same by providing the google DNS servers. It works, which means my default DNS is not working for some reason. To make sure this, ran the below command. systemd-resolve --status Output has an entry for DNS Servers, which was ::1 Fix 1. Edit the file /etc/systemd/resolved.conf. sudo vi /etc/systemd/resolved.conf 2. Add new DNS entries. I added 2 google DNS and the cloudflare DNS sever. [Resolve] DNS=8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 1.1.1.1 3. Restart the systemd-resolved and check the configuration is persisted in /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf file. sudo service systemd-resolved restart cat /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.co...
