thanks for the feedback and actually I do it a bit differently (do not pass by tar.xz to tar.gz at all): docker run -it --name wslclear clearlinux
swupd update # and I normally add some other basic bundles from docker image
exit
docker export -o wslclear.tar wslclear
wsl.exe --import wslclear ./wslclear ./wslclear.tarSomething like that is my default distro creation :) Finally, by tar.exe (and you're totally right it doesn't exist), I meant the bsdtar used during --import. I'll make more tests in the meantime, and hopefully a solution is near :) |

Is there any update to this? I have the same problem. |
|
Make sure you open terminal as administer, otherwise you will not able to import properly. :) |
|
Neither this issue nor #4909 have CLI repro steps to exhibit 'Hard-link target does not exist', which would give this issue hope if not resolution. |
|
I'm getting this same error now, after "GA". Any ideas, or should I just delete it and start over fresh? Any steps I can do to get better debug data? |

@haakoo : I got very similar errors also all in Logging into WSL to remove ruby manually and trying again... WORKED FOR ME |
This is the error I got when I tried to run wsl --set-version Ubuntu 2 (update) that did not work either. |
|
@ckhordiasma , I did it and it worked: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5902488/uninstall-old-versions-of-ruby-gems |
|
ok, if I'm understanding this correctly, I need to clean up/uninstall old versions of rdoc, power_assert, net-telnet, minitest, and fileutils? |
|
ok so I had to reinstall ruby, and then tried cleaning up rdoc, power_assert, net-telnet, minitest, and fileutils. That didn't work, so then I uninstalled them with That didn't work either, then I noticed that the error message actually changed a bit: So now I'm trying to the uninstall etc, did_you_mean, csv, bigdecimal gems and see how that works. edit - that worked! so basically I checked the error message for ruby gems causing the problem, and iteratively removed gems until I was able to fix it. |
|
That did it for me: |
|
Even after uninstalling as many of the gems as I could (some were default; using |
I experienced the same. I did:

Importing the distribution failed. I got this error. any idea to solve it?.. I see some post mentioning storage issue and now I have 14G left in my disk. Not sure if this relate. |

I get a similar issue during the conversion from WSL 1 to WSL 2 with an Arch Linux-based WSL image: I don't understand why the conversion to WSL 2 should care about these files above... |

What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
When loading Clearlinux rootfs.tar on WSL 1 and 2, it ends abruptly with
unexpected errorinstead of loading the distro.For WSL launch issues, please collect detailed logs.

Attached are the 3 log files, and here is a sample of the error:
sbin: Hard-link target 'bin' does not exist.
usr/bin/b2sum: Hard-link target 'usr/bin/[' does not exist.
usr/bin/base32: Hard-link target 'usr/bin/[' does not exist.
usr/bin/base64: Hard-link target 'usr/bin/[' does not exist.
usr/bin/basename: Hard-link target 'usr/bin/[' does not exist.
usr/bin/basenc: Hard-link target 'usr/bin/[' does not exist.
usr/bin/bzcat: Hard-link target 'usr/bin/bunzip2' does not exist.
usr/bin/bzfgrep: Hard-link target 'usr/bin/bzegrep' does not exist.
the hard links come from the fact that Clearlinux uses
coreutilsin the default bundleos-coreWhile the executables can be copied instead of the hard links, the libraries have the same setup (
/libpoints to/usr/lib).I do have Clearlinux in WSL1 since the build 18305, but even if I export and import it again, it will also fail.
Thanks in advance for your help :)
