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?

  • I don't see the connection with Ubuntu in your issue... neither with Bash... it's seems to only be a gui issue on Windows (with console2). – Idriss Neumann Dec 28 '18 at 09:27

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.

  • Works, thanks! It looks like the combination of 64-bit and `C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe` as a command for a new tab was what I needed. The Startup Dir and Shell changes didn't seem to have any effect. – Joe Wilson Dec 30 '18 at 22:24
