  • Your Windows build number: 10.0.17763.253

  • What you're doing and what's happening:

I'm trying to use "pipenv" in an Ubuntu WSL window, typically with a command like:

pipenv install

in a directory where there is a git repo and a Pipfile that states which packages need to be installed.

If I do this in a Windows command shell window, the progress bar displayed is acceptable (a bunch of equals signs).

cmd_srqvdhscs4

If I do this in a PuTTY window to an Ubuntu server, I get a rotating series of dots in a box and then a symbol with some boxes in the progress bar:

putty_acykmkcy6o

However, if I do this in an Ubuntu WSL window, I get lots of question marks:

ubuntu1804_i3ituvght2

I've set the local to en_US.UTF8 but that hasn't helped.

  • What's wrong / what should be happening instead:

My preference would be for the output from pipenv to match that displayed on an Ubuntu server. However, if that isn't possible, if the output could match that displayed in a Windows command shell window, it would be acceptable. Almost anything is better than the question marks :)
