Console2 Tab for Bash on Ubuntu on Windows 10

I can't get Console2 to give me a new tab with the Bash on Ubuntu on Windows shell. So far, I've tried:

C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c "C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe"
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe /c "C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe"

The first two commands work from Start > Run. None of them work as a new tab command in Console2.

How do I do this?

Solution

  • Check your Console2 version.

    You need to install 64bits version of Console2. You can find it here. You will see Console-2.00b148-Beta_64bit.zip. Install as usual.

    In Console2 (64 bits) you must go to menu Edit ->Settings... and then in "Startup dir" you can choose "C:\Users\your_user_name". Finally in "Shell" write "C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe". And pick OK.
