Hi, can you try running:

...then launch the script and let me know how things go.

Thanks for getting back so quickly. #sadtrombone Same result.

That's a WSL2-type of error so I'm genuinely confused.
Hate to ask, have you rebooted your PC?
Also, create a user on your PC, login as that user, and try installing. Maybe profile related?

from kwsl.

:) yeah, clean boot. and recreated on a clean install (for kicks) with a fresh profile.
I rebuild this machine (way too often) as it's a test bed so I follow the same build notes.
But your note about that being a v2 error is a clue. I do have a v2 Ubuntu instance that I always install first. I'll convert to v1 and/or uninstall it. Then I'll reboot cleanly.
Standby for results. Thanks.

Still fails. Current state (before cleaning up after the failed script)

Do you have a %USERPROFILE%/.wslconfig file? If so try without it.

from kwsl.

One more question -- Are you able to install Ubuntu 20.04 from the store? Can you confirm it is WSL1 with a uname -a

from kwsl.

Okay. Installed Ubuntu from Store.
No .wslconfig

Hi what version of Windows 11 are you on?
There is a (known, fixed in insiders build) separate issue with Win11 causing a BSOD in WSL1. So unless you're running an insider build, you will have a bad time :/
In any case let me know what your build number is and I'll try to recreate the issue.

Do you have the WSL2 update package from the Microsoft Store? Can you try uninstalling it and any kernel updates to see how that goes?

from kwsl.

Thanks for the bug report.
I have re-created the issue:

Well that sucks! I am going to try and revert KB5008353...

Hi please give the latest update for kWSL a try when you get a chance.
Thanks,

I just updated xWSL a few moments ago as well.
Looks like we also needed to change the download source from the MS-provided APPX package (which has changed and is now a bloated 800MB download) to the Ubuntu-sourced WSL .tar.gz image.
The WIndows 11 BSOD Fix is available to insiders and I think will be generally available next month (I hope!)

BTW found some good reading on your blog, keep 'em coming. And try not to freeze, I got fed up with east coast weather and moved to a little island in the middle of the ocean.
