If it is safe to do that, how do i change the default umask?
If its not recommended, is there any way I can change the dir listings to not be all solid colors?
It is not totally safe, as some applications might assume umask
to be 0000
.
For example, when installing extensions to vscode-server
running in wsl (from standard vscode in win), it fails on file permissions when trying to move files from temporary location.
But if you keep that in mind, you can safely set umask to whatever you want, and if you encounter any program failing because of that, you just switch back to 0000
(thats how I do it, dont kill me lol).
~/.bashrc
. That said I ran into problems converting Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 in Windows 10 so I'm just using Ubuntu 16.04 there.
