Windows 10: Use of Remote Desktop causes WSL using ubuntu to close and all processes background and...

HiI have a computer with a decent processor and I am using WSL2 with Ubuntu to run the WRF model which works well. I want to be able to log into this computer using remote desktop from my laptop, so that I can log in and check model runs wherever I am. What I have found is that if I set the WRF model running with background and foreground processes and then close the remote desktop window the process and the WSL2 keeps running. If I open the remote desktop connection again immediately everything is there. If I wait a period of time before connecting using remote desktop again say half hou

Is Service on wsl running on background ?

Hello I am new on wsl / wsl2 here, currently I am using win 11, if I'm using wsl2 on my windows, let say using ubuntu distro, and I'm running service on my wsl ubuntu like postgre, mongo, mysql, docker, rabbit-mq, will these services run in the background? even if I don't open wsl ubuntu ? I'm just worried that services running are eating up my resources, but I'd be happy if they weren't running in the background.

 

wsl installation nightmare

Hey guys,

Haven't been able to install wsl on windows. Here's a summary of my pain:

PS C:\Users\[me]> wsl -d Ubuntu-22.04

There is no distribution with the supplied name. Error code: Wsl/Service/WSL_E_DISTRO_NOT_FOUND

PS C:\Users\[me]> wsl --install -d Ubuntu-22.04

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is already installed.

Launching Ubuntu 22.04 LTS...

The operation completed successfully.

PS C:\Users\[me]> wsl -l -v

Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions.

Use 'wsl.exe --list --online' to list available distributions and 'wsl.exe --install ' to install.

Distributions can also be installed by visiting the Microsoft Store: https://aka.ms/wslstore

Error code: Wsl/WSL_E_DEFAULT_DISTRO_NOT_FOUND

Whenever it does "successfully" launch, it just flashes a terminal on the screen for half a second and immediately closes. Then some background process called WSL lives on in the task manager, though it uses no resources.

The only way I could download it originally was through the command

wsl --install -d Ubuntu-22.04 --web-download

Trying to install through windows store or the above command without web-download just timed out.

This is a new Win11 pc, fully updated. I have restarted it multiple times and re-enabled the optional features for vm / wsl / hypervisor.

I also can't seem to download anything from the windows store. I thought this may be a firewall issue, but it has permissions in the firewall settings and disabling the firewall seems to have no impact.

If I remove both installations (WSL & Ubuntu 22.04), I can try this:

PS C:\Users\tyler> wsl --install -d Ubuntu-22.04

Installing: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
An error occurred during installation. Distribution Name: 'Ubuntu 22.04 LTS' Error Code: 0x80072ee2

Happens regardless of DNS status to 8.8.8.8 (google) or firewall enabled/disabled (fixes recommended elsewhere).

 

Cannot connect to XRDP running in WSL via Remote Desktop

Hi there!

I have WSL 2 with Ubuntu running with an XRDP server, and Remote Desktop Connection allows me to connect just fine. Unfortunately Remote Desktop Connection has a known bug where it does not relay Ctrl+Alt+Arrow which is a key combination I would like to
use, so I installed Remote Desktop from the Windows Store. But when connecting to localhost:3390, I get the following error after a couple seconds:

Disconnect code: ReplacedByOtherConnection, legacy code: 0x204, legacy extended code: 0x0, activityId: {8ffb7434-9c76-4c1c-a8cc-d23dc8920000}

As mentioned, connecting to the same address via Remote Desktop Connection works just fine.

First I thought maybe this has to do with trying both at the same time, but even after closing Remote Desktop Connection and restarting the PC, I get the same problem.

What can I do?

Best,

Daniel
