Unsupported console error with Ubuntu 18.04 in WSL
I enter my username in Ubuntu, but it doesn't take it. Instead I see the following error:
What does it mean?
Solution 1:
This is a common item for people using WSL. Fortunately, it's not too difficult to fix:
- Open the Run dialog (Win+R) and type
cmd.exe - When Command Prompt appears, click the upper-left icon and choose "Properties":
- On the "Options" tab (the first one) look at the bottom where it says "Use Legacy Console" and ensure it's unchecked
- Press [OK] to save the changes
You will need to restart your Command Prompt (and probably WSL) for this to take effect.
