RDP connection : Not able to connect to rdp when converted to wsl2 about kwsl HOT 9 CLOSED

*EDIT: Before doing any of this first make sure the Init task is running after the conversion to WSL2. In your case that would be:
schtasks /run /tn Kushal_KDE

Hi there,

Perhaps you have an issue with multicast DNS.

Try this -- Open a console to your Linux instance and run:

hostname -I

It will return the IP address of your WSL instance - Use that instead of the hostname for your RDP connection.
Let me know how things go for you.

By init do you mean the the init task you must run before rdping int the wsl gui desktop?

Edit:-
Cheers!!!
It works, the solution you have me was very helpful and I am able to Firefox and chrome and even the audio is working even though there is a issue of the video and audio not syncing..

The main point is that wsl 2 support works and with audio included..

Hats off to you..

Cheers again :D

Hello thank you for the kind words. Glad to hear things are working as expected. If you go to youtube and play a video with the bundled version of Mozilla browser, do you still lose audio sync? I have not seen that issue unless you are connecting to the WSL instance from another machine on your internal network.

Cheers,

what do you mean by "bundled version of mozilla browser", Iam kind of a newbie linux user but love it so can you pleases tell in detail...

And also could you help to create a script that laucnches the rdp connection with the changed ip address. If not, its fine and I will try to create one and share it with you.

By the way to help you, I have told people in youtube in comments section to go to you repo and try both xWSL and kWSL. Is it fine??

Try using Mozilla Seamonkey as your browser:

Please do!

I have no problem with seamonkey.
I was talking about firefox latest version in wsl 2. At the first there was no audio and video sync at first but now it is ok. Must have been a first time issue..

@DesktopECHO
Also how did you get the kwsl.local to work?
Because it is better to do that instead of everytime checking the ip addr and the connecting to it??

Edit:-
I actually got the kwsl.local working
I had put by distro name as KDE-Plasma, so instead of kwsl.local I had to change it to KDE-Plasma.local. So you can edit the README.md file and tell that they have to put the distro name they chose when running the batch file..

Thx for updating the README.md

Cheers 👍
