I have win 10 pro. I went to windows features and turned on linux subsystem and rebooted. Went to win store-----downloaded Ubuntu.
And of course my problems began. It's my UN-ending curse with linux. Where do I begin. With the installation.....of course.
After the install.....it asked for a user name. I gave it one. And for some completely un-understandable explanation, it said name was bad. So I spent about 30 min on google trying to define a proper Ubuntu username.........with no perceivable results.
SO......I highlighted the error in the CLI and tried to copy.....but no copy function.
SO.......I highlighted again and did a ctrl C and the whole CLI disappeared.
When I restarted Ubuntu(under windows).........the CLI came up with a root@mymachinename prompt.
I understand this prompt to be very dangerous. I was going to do some bash tutorials, but do not want to proceed with this prompt.
I have not learned anything yet, but believe I need to create regular user name account and make sure this root does not come up by itself.
Any help would be appreciated.
