systemd stopped working suddenly

[GordonSmith]

Was up and running with a microk8s environment a couple of weeks ago, tried to start it today and am now getting:

Interacting with snapd is not yet supported on Windows Subsystem for Linux.
This command has been left available for documentation purposes only.

The following resolved the issue for me:

echo":windowsexe:M::\x4d\x5a::/init:PF"| sudo tee -a /etc/binfmt.d/windowsexe.conf

Hello Mr. GordonSmith

Is your environment windoww11+ Ubuntu installed in WSL2 (with the addition to wsl.conf ref: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/systemd-support-is-now-available-in-wsl/ ) ?

I did what is advised in the ref but I get "internal error, please report: running "microk8s" failed: cannot find installed snap "microk8s" at revision 4094: missing file /snap/microk8s/4094/meta/snap.yaml " . I tried both 20.4 and 22.4 versions.

Many thanks in advance.

Yes (Windows 11 insiders beta) + WSL2 (Ubuntu 22.04). Is this your command line:

sudo snap install microk8s --classic --channel=1.25

?

Good morning and thank you very much. Command line is just like below (actually same as yours) : sudo snap install microk8s --classic --channel=1.25/stable And I have /etc/wsl.conf with [boot] systemd=true as written in https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/systemd-support-is-now-available-in-wsl/ And Windows 11 version: ***@***.*** By the way, with https://youtu.be/cWlYe0CE2iU and https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/running-snaps-on-wsl2-insiders-only-for-now/13033 I managed to install microk8s in to my “old” windows 10 laptop last night. I am still keen to use windows 11 though for my lab env in my desktop PC with 32 gbyte ram. Thanks a lot again.

same problem as OP, but the answer did not resolve it for me.

[kampnerj]

ok, fixed with the update.

@GordonSmith The original problem with Snap should now be fixed, assuming you are running Ubuntu 22.04? If so, you should be able to:

• sudo rm /etc/binfmt.d/windowsexe.conf to remove the temporary workaround
• sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y to get Snapd to the latest version with the fix
• Exit Ubuntu and wsl --shutdown (required to reset the binfmt_misc change)

After this, snap commands should be working again.

[GordonSmith]

Tested and working!

Great.

Is your microk8s cluster single node or multi node?

[GordonSmith]

Single node (inside single WSL instance)
