================================================= Windows 10/11 WSL2 - Windows Linux Subsystem 2 | Linux | Ubuntu * Download the .DEB file (movianM7-7.0.251-wsl2-amd64.deb) and install it on your Windows 10/11 platform. * Supports Ubuntu under WSL2 * Works on Windows 10 or newer (Version 10.0.19045 or newer) * Works with software OpenGL (llvmpipe) and with hardware (D3D12) * For hardware rendering your video drivers must support WDDM 2.9 or later version (check with dxdiag) * Installs on the default/latest WSL2 Ubuntu image - Ubuntu 24.04 How to use (first time): * Install WSL2 with Ubuntu (from Windows): - Open [Command prompt] as Administrator - type wsl --install, wait for WSL2 to install, REBOOT your Windows to finish installation - Start WSL from the Start menu (or type wsl from command prompt) and setup your user/password * Download and install M7 (inside WSL): - wget https://movian.eu/Linux/movianM7-7.0.251-wsl2-amd64.deb - sudo apt-get install -f ./movianM7-7.0.251-wsl2-amd64.deb - You now have [Showtime (Ubuntu)] icon in your Windows Start menu - Disable time-sync service (fixes audio issues): sudo systemctl disable systemd-timesyncd * Start M7: - From Windows: click on [Start] and find [Showtime (Ubuntu)] (usually under [U]/Ubuntu) - From WSL2/Ubuntu: type showtime or /usr/bin/showtime * Full-screen: - Press [F11] to toggle full-screen mode * Plugins: - WSL2 mounts your Windows drives in /mnt - e.g. C:\ is /mnt/c/ - For example you have a folder with your plugins on your Windows host in D:\my_plugins --- Type in M7 search bar: /mnt/d/my_plugins to open the folder and install any plugin *** IMPORTANT: Disable time-sync service in WSL2 (fixes audio issues): sudo systemctl disable systemd-timesyncd *** As of April 2026 - WSL2 (WSLg) has a bug and causes Xorg and systemd to fill /var/log at each WSL startup It uses 80-100% CPU for 1-2 minutes, because of a bug with /tmp/.X11-unix - Microsoft will probably fix it Solution: 1) wait for Xorg to complete (or just kill the process) 2) sudo rm /var/log/*log* ====================================
