    wsl 2 password


    I have apparently successfully installed WSL 2. However in the initial stage of creating the server I forgot the Linux convention of not echoing the password entry and ended up with an unknown entry. I am set up to use xrdp. When I try to use Windows Remote Desktop I cannot log into WSL. I used passwd to reset the password both with and without root privilage without solving the WRD login problem. Is the initial root password special and cannot be changed ?. WRD says it connects successfully. Thanks for any help.

    :)

    Cannot upgrade installed distros in WSL to version 2

    After installing the Win10 2004 build 19041 update (running winver shows "version 2004 (OS build 19041.388)", I've tried to upgrade a couple of installed distros I had in WSL version 1 to WSL version 2 following the instructions at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win.../install-win10. All the steps in the instructions compete successfully, up to the point where I try to change the WSL version of one of the installed distros to 2 at which point I see the messages below:

    Code:
    I have enabled the Virtual Machine Platform feature (it shows as on with a tick against it in Control Panel Windows features), Intel-vt virtualization is enabled in the BIOS, and running msinfo32 shows, at the bottom of the system summary listing:

    Code:
    I also tried installing another distro with the WSL default version set to 2, but attempting to launch it shows the error:

    Code:
    Any suggestions on how to get around this problem? From what I've read, WSL2 gives worthwhile speed increases over WSL1, and so is worth using if I can get it to work.
