Now that it's practically time to go home, I have: a) Finally been able to successfully install Ubuntu under Windows wsl. (That has been a back burner problem for a while now, Some Windows update in the distant past had essentially disabled installing distros under wsl on my work computer, so some later update fixed that.) b) Mounted the ext4 partition with wsl c) chmod the directories to have o+x perms. d) I verified there are chmod statements in the script for the directories in question. It is unknown why they weren't set as directed. I'll have to try to figure that out when I get home to a real Linux install. e) Still unknown why Windows won't let me use the keyboard or mouse on the Surface to select options on the Bitlocker screens (to be able to boot from the USB drive), but I have seen a recent update caused issues with some people having to enter their Bitlocker key after rebooting. >< Ouch! So possibly related.
