Out of the box Snap support #618

Hebilicious · 2020-07-10T13:15:26Z

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
snap requires systemctl wich isn't working yet in wsl (wsl issue here).

Describe the solution you'd like
A more wsl-y solution will hopefully be provided my the wsl team soon. In the meantime it would be nice to have a workaround implemented in Pengwin.

Describe alternatives you've considered
There's some workarounds, check the WSL issues. An out of the box solution would be ideal.

Thank you for your suggestion we are working on something. But for Fedora Remix, so now we know that Pengwin users would like to have it also

Hebilicious · 2020-07-10T14:49:46Z

@crramirez Thanks for the quick reply, do you have a rough timeline ?

crramirez · 2020-07-10T14:51:09Z

No more than the end of the year, probably in two months

crramirez · 2020-08-23T22:40:28Z

Hello,

I recommend you to assist WSLConf. Will be a talk about snaps in WSL

Regards

Is it still in WIP?

crramirez · 2020-11-04T23:59:27Z

Hello @Peredery,

Yes, we are still working on that but it will take more time to release a beta.

Regards,
Carlos

Any update on this?

crramirez · 2021-06-26T18:05:07Z

Hello @kotx,

Sadly no. But the fact that you ask for it, raises its priority.

Regards,
Carlos

Hello @kotx @Hebilicious @Peredery

The lastest version of Pengwin 22.11.4 includes an implementation of SystemD regardless you are in Windows 10 or 11. It can enabled via pengwin-setup

flexchar · 2022-12-31T16:23:21Z

I've tried installing snap using sudo apt install snapd. It went through. Then I wanted to snap install hugo but I get:

error: cannot communicate with server: Post "http://localhost/v2/snaps/hugo": dial unix /run/snapd.socket: connect: no such file or directory

I'm on

> lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Pengwin
Release:        11
Codename:       bullseye

Could someone clarify how I could use this feature? :)

crramirez · 2022-12-31T18:14:38Z

Hello @flexchar

Did you enabled systemd via pengwin-setup?

Regards

flexchar · 2023-01-02T16:11:44Z

Yep, I've just done it. And tried reinstalling snap but I'm sitting on the same error.

I can see it tried to create service but then it's not found.

sudo systemctl enable --now snapd

flexchar · 2023-01-03T00:08:37Z

sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
Failed to connect to bus: Host is down

I realized during pengwin-setup I get this:

If you want to start services in WSL1 you can use the "service" or the "wslsystemctl" commands.

that may give any clue.

Okay, I also ran wsl version:

lukas in ~ λ wsl.exe -v
WSL version: 1.0.3.0
Kernel version: 5.15.79.1
WSLg version: 1.0.47
MSRDC version: 1.2.3575
Direct3D version: 1.606.4
DXCore version: 10.0.25131.1002-220531-1700.rs-onecore-base2-hyp
Windows version: 10.0.22621.963

I strongly believe I installed WSL 2 and I know for a fact that I'm running Win 11. I'm rather confused how these values exist since I've done a fresh WSL install after upgrading to Win 11... I guess I got some debug to do here

I'm confused. Any ideas? :)

crramirez · 2023-01-03T00:51:09Z

Somethung is completely wrong in your pengwin installation that the Interop is not running.

Anyway, to enable systemd add

[boot]
systemd=true

To your /etc/wsl.conf file then wsl --terminate WLinux

And try again to start snapd

flexchar · 2023-01-03T11:50:45Z

Damn, given your support, you should totally charge more for this distro. I appreciate it!!

That being said, still not going through. I've also shut off docker in case it was messing up and ran wsl --shutdown.

> sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
Failed to connect to bus: Host is down

Meanwhile, to be respectful of your time, perhaps I should just dedicate time to wipe it all and do a fresh install. ;)

crramirez · 2023-01-03T13:25:46Z

You are very welcome! :-D

Considering the WSL version you sent, the systemd should already be working.

I you haven't wiped it all, could you please send me the content of your /etc/wsl.conf ?

Also, the content of $HOME/winhome/.wslconfig

flexchar · 2023-01-03T13:39:43Z

Absolutely!

lukas in ~ λ cat $HOME/winhome/.wslconfig
[wsl2]
memory=25GB
swap=0
localhostForwarding=true

[boot]
systemd=true

lukas in ~ λ cat /etc/wsl.conf
[automount]
enabled = true
options = "metadata,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0022,fmask=11,case=off"
mountFsTab = true
crossDistro = true

[network]
generateHosts = true
generateResolvConf = true

[filesystem]
umask = 0022

[user]
default=lukas

crramirez · 2023-01-03T13:45:57Z

Ok remove

[boot]
systemd=true

from $HOME/winhome/.wslconfig and add it to /etc/wsl.conf. Then terminate the distro, you should have systemd now.

I still don't see signals why pengwin-setup thinks that you are in WSL1. Could you please echo $WSL_INTEROP?

flexchar · 2023-01-03T18:51:45Z

It was the same. But since my vs code began hanging I decided to restart PC. It happens couple times a month. And after a reboot it worked. So it may have had worked all along if I've tried restarting it haha.

Oh, and I'll share all env variables with you:

lukas in ~ λ env | grep WSL
WSL2_GUI_APPS_ENABLED=1
WSLENV=WT_SESSION::WT_PROFILE_ID
WSL_INTEROP=/run/WSL/269_interop
WSL_DISTRO_NAME=WLinux
WSL_HOST_IP=172.19.224.1
