This isnt necessarily very useful, as there isnt really a lack of native applications on Windows, but it is still interesting from a technical viewpoint.

For example, WSL doesnt support seccomp or network namespaces which removes some of the utility of the sandbox.

There is also a bad bug that makes read-only bind-mounts not work for flatpak, which is really unsafe as apps can modify themselves (or the runtime).

Additionally, some apps rely on things on the linux host that dont exist in the WSL environment (such as pulseaudio, or various dbus services).

I was able to run various games, gnome and kde apps, and even the linux versions of telegram.

Massive kudos to the Microsoft developers who worked on this.

I wonder if Snappy and AppImage approaches can do the same thing like this (honestly I like AppImage), I think your approach is cool.

Pulseaudio For Windows Install An X

You need to install an X server, and need to run.Your.AppImage appimage-extract, then.squashfs-rootAppRun.

This is because Windows does not support FUSE (yet).

Im playing a game (like Tremulous), and the sound will start echoing then finally cut out.

The resulting sound setup will be similar to Ubuntu 7.10 and previous versions.

Any issues unrelated to PulseAudio will not be affected in any way.

Im sorry, but idont write english very well becouse my first languaje is Spanish.

The following packages have unmet dependencies: ubuntu-desktop: Depends: pulseaudio but it is not installable Resolving dependencies The following actions will resolve these dependencies.

I just did a bit of hacking here and there and everything just works.

Ive even got Mythbuntu with mplayer running all my TV and movies perfectly with pulse and even use pulse to send the audio from my laptop to the myth box so that all audio played on the laptop can be sent via wifi to be played on the house central stereo.

I could hunt around for a fix or just install Intrepid again.

People dont use this fix in Intrepid I would suggest taking this post down or leave it up with a fix for your fix.

Now everything I play music with works with ALSA and I havent had any other sound problems.

Thanks for this tip.

Theres been a lot of sound problems for me since Hardy in fact, I went from Gutsy to Intrepid because Hardy sucked so bad in the sound department.

Either pulseaudio has not been implemented correctly in Ubuntu or its still at an early stage of development and so it shouldnt have been included, I dont know which.

After weeks of hell with Second Life crashes this fix finally stopped all crashes and freeze ups.

Pulseaudio For Windows How To Setup Pulseaudio

Search how to setup Pulseaudio better, thats the right solution.

PulseAudio does not work properly with many popular audio chipsets even though there is more than one layer of abstraction.

Some of these bugs may be due to ALSA but considering that using ALSA directly still works and PulseAudio randomly crashes(without any error message, even with debugging at full verbosity) thus freezing any applications uses it and occasionally even the underlying system, I think the problem(and solution) is obvious.

Left with the inability to fix PulseAudios problems, the only solution left is to remove it completely.

PulseAudio has failed me on multiple machines with entirely different sound chipsets(including one system that had a CreativeLabs SoundBlaster 16.arguably the PERFECT soundcard) and in multiple distributions(ArchLinux, Gentoo, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, even Slackware).

With all the major differences between these distributions and the systems upon which they ran it is clearly an issue that requires immediate solution and at current, since problems have been reported for months and it appears as though no one has put forth effort on actually fixing it, removal of PulseAudio is the only viable course of action.

Besides, who among you would not consider it solving all Windows-related problems if you were to replace it with Linux.

It is unexplainable to me now, but in general, the usefulness and significance is overwhelming.

Theres another tut floating around on the Ubuntu Wiki site that talks about doing some stuff to remove pulseaudio, but really its just having you tweak some crap and replace a couple of libs; it doesnt have you remove it.

PulseAudio currently works in my Karmic install (fresh install).

But, when Im doing things that use sound for any extended period of time, it borks up eventually.
