WSL problem -- all wsl commands don't work

Hello everyone,

I got an issue with the windows subsystem for Linux (WSL).

Context :

I'm using a Windows 10 lap-top shared by my company

How I got to the problem :

- I first reinstall windows 10

- I installed WSL through this link .

- Everything was working though with the Ubuntu 20.04 installed though I wanted Ubuntu 22.04

- When I was looking at wich distro I could install by using the command :

wsl --list --online

- So I was like, hey maybe, I could use the command wsl --update to update my wsl, maybe it was not fully updated. I was wrong, it was my Windows not updated.

But anyway, I tried the command, it hungs, nothing was happening...
- I Ctrl+C to stop the execution of the cmd ; from here I could not do any command in admin power-shell, it would just hung forever.

- But I've seen that I could still use the command in User mode not admin, though I needed to launch the distro in admin mode otherwise I had a credential issue.

- The thing is the WSL used in non-root mode was not updated

I didn't have the new feature with the GUI which I need for my project.

- So in non-root powershell, I did the update command:

wsl --update

- And now, I can have the GUI but at that point, in my distro. Every apt update, apt install commands don't work anymore.

- So I have to uninstall wsl in user mode to use the apt install, and reinstall it everytime to have the GUI

That's not really what I want. I obviously already tried to uninstall everything distro and WSL. By not forgetting to remove every windows features about virtual machine, wsl and the hypervisor.

I used this method to uninstall WSL : here is the link

And now after reinstalling wsl in root mode. Even after uninstalling it hung forever...

Do you have any idea to have a WSL working without reinstalling again windows ?

 

WSL 2 apt says network is unreachable

I just set up a fresh install of Windows 10 on a brand new disk. I then followed

this official guide for setting up WSL 2, and installed the latest Ubuntu (20.04) from the Microsoft Store. With this launching correctly, the first thing I tried was a `sudo apt update` so that I could start installing software, but this failed saying
"Network is unreachable":





I browsed the web for a solution and saw work that IPv6 could be the culprit, but even after disabling IPv6 on the WSL adapter and my ethernet adapter, the problem persists.

I don't understand why installing WSL with the official instructions on a brand new install of Windows 10 would have any issues. I am unable to install any software in WSL due to this issue.

 

How can I get DNS resolution working again under WSL?

I installed WSL a couple days ago and was able to install several applications using apt. However, today when I attempted to install another one I got the message “Temporary failure accessing archive.ubuntu.com.” Experimentation shows that I can't ping any
hostname under WSL, only IP addresses. So, .I can't successfully ping google.com but can ping its IP, 172.217.11.38. Hostname pings still work fine in regular PowerShell, just not under bash. I suspect this was caused by the installation of Windows 10 Home
Edition Version 1803 yesterday. Any suggestions?
