WSL Setup Instructions command does not work for everyone

Open idale0001 opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

The command

wsl --install --distribution Ubuntu-22.04

in the WSL setup instructions does not work for many people. It says something about distribution not found. Will try to update issue with exact error if I can replicate. Currently having people use this guide because that seems to work for people.

I think running with the update flag first might fix this.

wsl --update
wsl --install --distribution Ubuntu-22.04

The update command should grab the latest backend stuff from the MS store.

I just tried this with a roboracing new member and the update command did not seem to work

Looks like the issue is that people need to enable Virtual Machine Platform in Windows Features

Cool. If you've found a sequence that works, could you update the setup instructions for WSL?
