This seems related to #4047 |

@DHowett-MSFT oh god it works now, thanks for help |
Sure thing! This is definitely a windows console bug; we're tracking it over at microsoft/terminal#2319 |
Your Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.295]
What you're doing and what's happening: After installing Ubuntu subsystem for the first time, everything was going good, while trying to create a new default UNIX user i was prompted to disable Legacy Console, i did so and restarted the Ubuntu console. When I launched Ubuntu once more the console was blank like this:
Restarting, uninstalling the distro didnt help at all. Writing
bash
in cmd outputs this:it looks like WSL created a default user itself and i can't change that by reinstalling or resetting the distro.
the distro looks to be installed properly but the console doesnt work
What's wrong / what should be happening instead: I should be able to create a new default UNIX user, use Ubuntu console and reinstall the distro properly
