linux - sed: can't read /etc/dbus-1/session.conf: Input/output error

Sunday, February 5, 2017

Following a guide on ZDNet here, I have been trying to get ubuntu desktop working on Windows 10. though one line of code has been giving me trouble.

    sudo sed -i 's/.*<\/listen>/tcp:host=localhost,port=0<\/listen>/' /etc/dbus-1/session.conf

was returning "can't read /etc/dbus-1/session.conf file or directory not found.

So I found a "/etc/dbus-1/session.conf" file online and added it. Restarted the bash and it found it, but this time:

sed: can't read /etc/dbus-1/session.conf: Input/output error

is what i get.

how do i fix this?
