Hi,
I am currently automating the installation of OpenSuse Leap 15.5 application on Windows 10.
I have a few questions:
-
With a user account, I am trying to launch the first time app launch with the following commandline:
“C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\46932SUSE.openSUSELeap15.5_155.2.494.0_x64__022rs5jcyhyac\openSUSE-Leap-15.5.exe”
But I am getting access denied. But with the open suse shortcut it is working. So how launching this app manually?
-
At the first time launch, I need creating and account. Is it possible doing it from a Windows commandline?
Hi, I don’t have answers to your questions but I am curious.
Just tried to search for this app in the MS store. On the pictures it looks a bit like openSUSE with a windows like desktop environment!?
Is that some sort of development environment for openSUSE that runs on Windows?
The questions you are raising are questions related to MS Windows or this specific app, so most certainly this is not the most efficient place to ask your questions.
Do you want to run it as a desktop or just to run it inside windows? Keep in mind that you won’t get a gui. To actually use opensuse as a desktop, go here: openSUSE Leap - Get openSUSE and download it.
After some more research I think that @Siocnarf is writing about that:
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:WSL
@Siocnarf Did you read that wiki page already?
Most likely it is WSL VM:
PS C:\Users\Administrator> wsl -l -o
The following is a list of valid distributions that can be installed.
Install using 'wsl.exe --install <Distro>'.

It depends on the definition of GUI. You most certainly can run graphical applications (including browsers). You probably cannot start full Desktop Environment using standard Display Manager or startx without some tweaks.

It is unclear if its MS or SUSE. I believe SUSE as this app is not a MS Product. But it is available on MS Store.
On Windows 10, it is possible activating a Linux Core then installing OpenSuse Leaf app and you will have an Open Suse Leaf environment.
From Windows creating the accounts.
Yes but it does not explain how creating accounts,
Yep, I think you are right.
Did you read and follow this instructions? openSUSE:WSL - openSUSE Wiki
According to that it’s more like a container solution to run openSUSE applications. To me it sounds a bit like a reverse-wine. So, I don’t think you will get a full GUI environment that looks like openSUSE. But you should be able to install and run native openSUSE packages/applications.
May I ask what your goal is with that?
This is what I am speaking. At first start, Open Suse is asking to create an account with a password then is it possible doing it from Windows commandline?
Yes on the second link there is a screenshot showing the account creation from SUSE.
For security purpose, we have to create an account and keep the password in security. After that we will be installing docker inside.
I can’t find any screenshot that would fit your description.
If that has the same meaning as for a regular OS install, it just wants you to create a user account and you just type in a user name you want to pick and a password that you pick yourself.
In most Linux installs I did I used the same password as root password (the user root equals about the administrator in Windows)
So, you basically want to auto-login to your user account when you start an openSUSE app from Windows through WSL?
I don’t think most users here have experience with that. You probably would have to ask that from a WSL forum.
To me it’s still unclear what you want to achieve. Is there a native openSUSE/Linux application that you need to run from Windows?
It is not openSUSE (and the distribution name is not Open Suse, the name is openSUSE), it is DistroLauncher. You can review it and see what it does and how.
Yes, of course. You can run arbitrary command(s) in distribution, including commands to create user. Or you can mount distribution image and create/modify any settings you need. But all this is not really openSUSE specific, you probably get more information on WSL support resources.
That is exactly how WSL works (at least, by default). When you launch distribution it opens shell for the default user account (not Windows account, Linux account inside distribution). It is not really login (WSL bypasses normal login sequence), but the end effect is similar.
From a Windows commandline how may I create the administrator account?
Hi,
Yes but on the first start, we are ask to create the administrator account.
