>only way to get the OpenSSH server beta on 1803 is through optional features >No features to install. >dism /online /get-capabilities ..or.. dism /online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:OpenSSH.Client~~~~0.0.1.0 >error 0x800f0950 Any MS shills here care to explain what this error code means? Google doesn't seem to know and all the logs say is failed to enumerate capabilities.
It succeeds with /LimitAccess which makes it skip capabilities on Windows Update, meaning that probably Something Happened to my Windows Update. But what?-- I've reset it every way I know how and it still happens.
Also is it really that difficult to assign names to error numbers, or at least publish a giant document listing every error code and a brief description of what it means?
I don't know if this will fix your problem at all, but have you tried actually launching control panel instead of using the shitty mobile settings app?
I ain't defending it, but that's your first problem.
Luis Young
Just use Teamviewer.
Adrian Garcia
do you get updates pushed from wsus
Luke Kelly
have you changed your screen resolution to 800x600 first?
Charles Ward
Unrelated, but I have a few Ubuntu serbs laying around that've been hosting websites and small APIs for... fuck a decade now. Upgraded from 10.04 -> 18.04 with absolutely no issue, still working fine. Never any troubles.
Just updated my WS2016 install (required to because I couldn't RDP into it anymore, some CVE bullshit) and it shat the bed mid-update and also decided to overwrite the partition table of a random disk. I genuinely fucking hate Microsoft.
Justin Wilson
How did you even get the other 'random disk' mounted to the system? Your hypervisor shouldn't have even attached another volume to the virtual machine.
This was my first thought, but OpenSSH Server is not listed there. Too bad. It can only be installed through the modern settings panel.
...this is a joke, right? With Windows I can barely tell sometimes, the damnedest things are valid workarounds.
Nope. No domain or anything. Normal Windows Update, though I have disabled driver updates with WinAero Tweaker because it kept pulling a version of the Intel graphics driver that doesn't allow changing screen orientation (wtf). It's a laptop/tablet convertible thing so I kinda need that feature.
Not really an option in my case. Teamviewer uses more bandwidth, and can't be connected to with a script.
Cameron Moore
Do you have the linux for windows feature added?
If not, add it and just install openssh-server via apt in bash.
Josiah White
The only other recommendation I've seen is to get the Media Creation Tool and use it to do an in-place "upgrade" install to fix it. But it does this.
...it's Windows 10 Pro x64...how is that not supported? Or can it not upgrade 1803 to 1803, and I just have to wait 6 more months until the next release and do it then?
I don't, and I was hoping not to go this route. I've done it this way before. The openssh-server from Ubuntu won't start on its own at boot. I'd have to open it and run sshd manually.
Connor Phillips
metered connection?
Luis James
you can invoke bash from cmd, so it seems like this should be easy to sort.
Jack Mitchell
No, just a sometimes slow one. The main issue is that I can't script connections.
I might end up going this way, I was just really hoping for a native solution.
Jose Wilson
I just googled it (i've never done this before), and you can supposedly run bash scripts from batch files.
Wyatt Wilson
you try a clean boot yet (or safe mode w/networking I guess)?
Austin Williams
Yeah. No features to install.

Linux doesn't need to be used by anyone but IT people.
Noah Roberts
have you tried just typing
ssh user@server
in cmd? It works for me after the update, no need to install anything.
Hunter Barnes
Linux: You can figure it out eventually, and after doing it umpteen times you start to git gud and have these problems less often.
Windows: You WILL reinstall your operating system. There is no other way to fix even fairly minor issues.
Isaiah Adams
Yeah. I have the ssh client, but what I want is the ssh server.
I don't care so much about the client. It's good to have there, but it still isn't as smooth to use as putty, mostly because the Windows console window is still clunky.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

I'm terribly sorry for interjecting another moment, but what I just told you is GNU/Linux is, in fact, just Linux, or as I've just now taken to calling it, Just Linux. Linux apparently does happen to be a whole operating system unto itself and comprises a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Most computer users who run the entire Linux operating system every day already realize it. Through a peculiar turn of events, I was misled into calling the system "GNU/Linux", and until now, I was unaware that it is basically the Linux system, developed by the Linux project.
There really isn't a GNU/Linux, and I really wasn't using it; it is an extraneous misrepresentation of the system that's being used. Linux is the operating system: the entire system made useful by its included corelibs, shell utilities, and other vital system components. The kernel is already an integral part of the Linux operating system, never confined useless by itself; it functions coherently within the context of the complete Linux operating system. Linux is never used in combination with GNU accessories: the whole system is basically Linux without any GNU added, or Just Linux. All the so-called "GNU/Linux" distributions are really distributions of Linux.
