You may be pleasantly surprised. I don't get it, that's kind of a puzzle i think; bowmanjd. I think You mean I can start sshd by itself, that's kind of interesting but what about rest of the services? I may need an init system for that?
Ain't I? Till now only sshd, and will be seeing your docker tutorial to start docker, and rest the future will tell! Btw isn't there any way to install systemd on wsl by using original linux kernel instead of wsl2's custom kernel?
And isn't there any SysVinit package in Fedora's repository of packages or I have to add a ppa just as in Ubuntu?? I would recommend using Hyper-V or Virtualbox to run your own Linux VM, which will then have systemd or other init system. Yes, Fedora already has systemd, and you could find other distros if you prefer openrc or other init system.
The issue isn't the installation of systemd, then and, no, you wouldn't want to try to replace systemd with sysvinit on a systemd-based distro; instead, find a non-systemd distro. By the way, systemd has little to do with the kernel version installed. The typical WSL hack I see is running genie. You may try that. But it adds another layer of complexity that is generally unneeded, if all you want is a way to launch long-running processes.
Simply launch them. If you need other systemd features, other than services, then maybe you want to look into genie or a separate VM. I think the problem may be he did not install windows virtual machine feature or install WSL 2.
As you really have made such a detailed easy to follow how to article it might be best to update it. Update if not. Include installing the VM function feature which is easy as you just add it where you turn on "Windows sub system for Linux". Add the download link for "WSL2 Linux kernel update package for x64 machines" link straight from microsoft website wslstorestorage.
Have them run the update package downloaded in the previous step. You can also reference this Microsoft Sites Documentation on how to upgrade docs. You could just reference it and not list the steps or just list it for those that have issues from legacy systems updates. Installed wsl 2 thru the linx update package I linked to. Downloaded and renamed the fedorarootfs.
I chose Fedora 32 Imported it. Ran it with "wsl -d fedora" But as Miguel Quintero posted it did not open a bash promote.
Thus that confirms wsl fedora was running. When I checked for running instances the output was " no running linux distro" or something to that effect. But it did install etc. So there is still something hinky going on as with everything done on a fresh install fully updated and all installs and upgrades down while WSL 2 claims its running there is no bash prompt to run inside fedora linux.
I wonder if with the last win update MS made it so you can only install distro roots thru the Store. Nice they are monetizing for open source freeware. You had to know that was the entire reason they got into the Linux game in the first place. Pulling a google on opensource projects.
I tried installing Ubuntu So something is is different doing it thru this manual way. I believe you, though. Indeed something strange must be going on. Could you verify what rootfs version you downloaded, and what tool you used to unpack?
Not sure that will be fruitful, but thought I would check. I suspect you are right that this has something to do with WSL configuration. I don't think this resolves the issue you are identifying, unless perhaps a newer rootfs fixes it? I used the fedora 32 x64 you linked to here this is the file name it downloaded Fedora-Container-Base Something weird though.
The first time I downloaded it the file ended with the. But now since I originally decompressed it everytime I download it comes as just. I assume its because of 7zip already decompressing it to just a. I hate programs deciding for me how to help grrr I renamed the decompressed. Next imported the. Next ran "wsl -d fedora" and after a pause it just returns me to the next line standard prompt in PS. I tried running both as user and admin. Now I went thru the Win Store and downloaded Ubuntu Windows installs the ubuntu Then a check to confirm no running distributions followed by the "wsl -d fedora" cmd and as you can see it just returns a standard PS Windows prompt.
The Ubuntu thru the store works fine. I just do not get why Fedora installed manually does not work?? It even shows it as a virtually mounted drive. I took your recommendation about it maybe an issue with the roofs downloaded. I downloaded the one form the docker link you provided. I terminated and then unregistered the current not working fedora 32 from December 5,your link in here:.
Such as this one for the December 5, build of Fedora Or, if you were still wanting Fedora 32, this Fedora 32 build from December 5 should work.
Not sure if you updated that when you edited the article. The one from that link prior to it may be bad as its what did not work.
I followed the docker github link to github. Thank you very much Jonathan for a well written set of instructions and improving it. Maybe check that current linked fedora 32 download I mentioned and see if it creates a working rootfs. If it works maybe something got corrupted during my download is all I can think of. I did download it twice though and tried both copies but anything is possible I guess. But no matter I have positive results now thanks to your suggestions.
Want to see if it works here as its a rather complex tool and script system for the build environment. Do you happen to know how can I upgrade the distro to a newer image without losing all info such as installed packages? Are you saying you have Fedora 32 and want to upgrade to Fedora 33? If so, this works for me:. Fedora Workstation is a polished, easy to use operating system for laptop and desktop computers, with a complete set of tools for developers and makers of all kinds.

However this requires you must be logged in as 'root' first. An alternative to using sudo is to use su to login as root, before executing a command. Fedora uses yum to install and update its software.
When connected to the internet it will automatically determine application dependencies. Fedora typically has 2 repositories enabled by default: fedora the same packages that come on any combination of the CD's or DVD's and updates updated packages, newer than fedora repository.
While yum has many plugins available. Many users find the fastestmirror plugin useful. This typically speeds up downloads by attempting to find faster sources. To install:. For the purpose of this guide, most all needs are met by the RPMFusion repository, other requirements are stated.
This guide installs using the default Gnome 3. If this is difficult it is recommended to try an alternative desktop environment. The following are supported by Fedora. Note these are all optional. Use yum to install them if you so wish:. Gnome Classic is a simplified reconfigured setup of Gnome 3. KDE is a full featured desktop like Gnome. However it does things in a different style. This is the most comprehensive desktop next to Gnome more info.
LXDE is a lightweight desktop environment. It is very useful for older computers. It takes up much less space than Gnome or KDE. It maybe similar to older version of Windows more info. Xfce is lightweight desktop environment similar to LXDE. It also consumes less resources than Gnome and many users will find it similar to much older versions of Gnome more info.
MATE is a desktop environment which is an updated version of Gnome 2, which preceded the current Gnome in Fedora more info. Cinnamon is desktop environment based off of Gnome 3 but uses a more traditional layout similar to Gnome 2 more info. For more information on using yum groups. Fedora ships without any form of MP3 playback. In order to add MP3 playback you must install from a 3rd party. The following requires the use of the RPMFusion repositories.
Fedora 18 had a Musician Guide which will probably still be useful in Fedora Fedora ships with a limited set of media player for both audio and video. For audio please read the MP3 player notes. For video and other multimedia DVD, etc. Make sure to have the RPMFusion repositories configured before executing the following. Note that many "dependancies" in libraries, plugins and codecs are shared between these applications and also the MP3 player applications.

Can you point to an instruction for the missing steps? How can I update bios after following the above procedures. Also, I tried fwudp command in Fedora. It shows — no updates available…. The only solution is to reformat your entire hard disk using an EFI partition scheme, not the MSDOS disklabel scheme which permits only four primary partitions.
Then you can preserve the partition scheme but the EFI boot process will recognize partitions beyond number 4. I recommend using the Windows recovery option which moves the Recovery partition to a USB stick, then deleting the Recovery and Diagnostic partitions before or during the Fedora install process.
These installation instructions are incomplete. Maybe you should update them or take them offline, please. What makes you feel that these instructions are incomplete? Success rates for repairs from there are slim. No, none of the repair tools of microsoft nor fedora will work from there. Also why do you not have any dedicated swap space? Do you have applications that should not be using the hard disk in case the memory is full?
