How to Dual Boot Windows 10 and Fedora. Accept Read More. Servers Linux. By Shais Last updated Nov 4, 6. How to Install Linux Mint on Hyper-v? Using this article to create a virtual machine. Install Linux Fedora on Hyper-V 3. You might also like More from author. Prev Next. CiscoLc says 5 years ago. John Austin says 4 years ago. Paul says 3 years ago. And here ends the importance of keeping a backup! God says 1 year ago. I also added a tip at the end to install findutils and ncurses.
Let me know if you think other basic packages should be included. That could be the issue. Then restart your machine? I am very curious if that works for you or not. After many attempts a lot of re-installations and reboots of the computer I finally installed fedora in wsl and set it up. Everything seems to be working.
I was able to install everything I needed my goal was to configure the right working environment for web development. I don't know what the problem was — why I had to start over many times, but wsl fedora worked in a strange way: the standard commands didn't work "cat", "clear", "nano", etc.
Eventually, I set up fedora according to your tutorial, except that I didn't execute the commands:. I don't know if this will be a problem in the future what I didn't specify in the resolv. Or if everything works as expected I don't have to add or change anything in my resolv. Thank you for your feedback! I have updated the DNS section to include more specific instructions for removal of the offending link in Fedora 33, and also prefaced that with acknowledgement of the default automatically-configured resolv.
I hope this helps! Can you give me some insight? Thanks in advance. I found this article very helpful! Sorry if I am bothering you. I have no idea why. But after running wsl -t ubuntu then wsl -d ubuntu , now it works. The only thing is it's so slow. Should I move my project folder into WSL ext4 hard disk image file? What is your advice? So, especially in WSL 2, Windows disk performance is very, very poor. Try doing your work in the Linux filesystem in your home directory, for instance instead.
Is that faster? My apologies; I wasn't thinking and gave you wrong advice about the [interop] section. That doesn't have anything to do with mounting Windows drives from WSL.
I guess you could use Ansible to continue with the install. Had to deactivate the local McAfee firewall in Windows for the network to work. Can you say more about the "rollback" part? And what sort of problems you are encountering around package updates?
Which packages, specifically? I think I like the idea. But let's say, for instance, that I want to use systemd-analyze on occasion. I know, not useful for a non-systemd WSL, but I do maintain other systems as well. It would seem that I shouldn't exclude systemd updates, then.
In other words, if it is not breaking anything, I could still see some advantages to keeping systemd packages up to date. The update included dependencies and weak-dependencies and systemd got installed as well as systemd-networkd I guess which deleted resolv. Maybe it is possible to exclude just systemd-networkd I did not try. Just curious Hey, bowmanjd Thanks for your instructions, but as you know that wsl2 doesn't support systemd, how do I install SysVinit in Fedora, I found no docs on Google about this, Can you please help me!
Good question. Are you sure you need systemd or sysvinit? What happens if you run sshd by itself? 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. 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? Have a question or suggestion? Please leave a comment to start the discussion.
