wsl installation nightmare

Hello. wsl is commandline perfered. I do not think it has a GUI. The issue maybe that windows terminal is crashing or powershell. For wsl use the command line Win+R C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe

cmd.exe wsl

wsl --list --online

wsl --install -d Ubuntu --web-download

wsl --stats

bash

sudo apt install blahblah

exit

exit

Usally you can just go in the MSstore and click install on Ubuntu ect.

no dns required.

Other options: Viurtal box Or use a live USB Ubunti.iso but dont install.

 

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 ?
