[Users] Error on Ubuntu subsystem

[Roland Haas]

Hello Zekun Xu,

One issue that I did not quit think about.

To find out where the files are located (eg to attach them using your
regular Windows email client), please have a look at:

https://www.howtogeek.com/261383/how-to-access-your-ubuntu-bash-files-in-windows-and-your-windows-system-drive-in-bash/

Alternatively you can copy files to a location more easily found by
copying them to a place in /mnt/c/Users/<YourWindowsUserName>/Desktop
which is the Windows 10 Desktop directory.

As a side note: you seem to be running as the "root" user in the Ubuntu
bash subsystem. This is unusual as (at least for me) I am dropped into
a Linux account that has the same name as my Windows account (ie rhaas
in my case). Usually it is best not to run as the "root" user unless
you need to install software.

Yours,
Roland
