Disabled my anti virus. Installed WSL from MS Store. Installed WSL from https://aka.ms/wsl2kernel. Checked for windows updates. Enabled "Receive up

    WSL2 for windows

    I have failed into installing WSL for Windows. I have read here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win.../install-win10 how to do it, and at step 4:


    1. Download the latest package:
      [COLOR=var(--text)][COLOR=var(--info-dark)] Note[/COLOR]
      If you're using an ARM64 machine, please download the ARM64 package instead. If you're not sure what kind of machine you have, open Command Prompt or PowerShell and enter: systeminfo | find "System Type".
      [/COLOR]
    2. Run the update package downloaded in the previous step. (Double-click to run - you will be prompted for elevated permissions, select ‘yes’ to approve this installation.)

    I encountered:

    and


    Can't change WSL1 to WSL2 298439d1600682036t-wsl2-windows-image.png


    What I did wrong ? I have the following W10 version:

    Can't change WSL1 to WSL2 298440d1600682100t-wsl2-windows-image.png


    Another question: am I in the the right forum ?

    Can't change WSL1 to WSL2

    Weird SSH issue with WSL2 (and WSL1)

    Hello all,

    So this is something that has been bugging me for a while now.

    I have this situation where I connect using SSH: My_Computer --SSH-> ServerA --SSH-> ServerB

    The connection to ServerA is done with public key auth, and the connection from ServerA to ServerB is regular username/password.

    For some strange reason, whenever I use WSL2 with an Ubuntu image (the default over the Windows Store), I never get to connect to ServerB. I successfully connect from my computer to ServerA with my key and from there the moment I input "ssh username@serverB"
    I immediately get the error "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host", like instantly, which is very weird, as I assume the segment ServerA -> ServerB doesn't have much to do with WSL2, especially since the first connection from my computer
    (running WSL2) to ServerA works perfectly fine.

    I can replicate this issue on several computers and always with WSL (1 and 2).

    Using any other solution, like Putty, SolarPutty, SnowflakeSSH, actual Ubuntu VM using Hyper-V/Virtualbox/VMWare works perfectly fine all the way up to ServerB.

    Can anyone shed any light into this?

    Thanks.
