WSL2: After do-release-upgrade of Ubuntu-CommPrev 21.04 -> 21.10, launching shows: No schemas installed and exits. Related to gsettings I think

[GavinRay97]

EDIT: This was fixed by running sudo apt install gsettings-desktop-schemas

I have no idea why.

Googling leads to a single result, a comment in an issue here:

• Regressions with de/wm and theme wick3dr0se/sysfetch#18 (comment)

Poking around, this error line seems to be coming from something called gsettings.
As you can see below, running wsl doesn't work/initialize a new session, but directly invoking wsl bash does?

Very odd:

A comment here suggests setting GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas:

But, this directory is empty for me:

Thanks for posting the solution. Closing this.

It may be a "solution", but it's a pretty serious issue since it seems like the instance is bricked, and even a wsl -u root doesn't resolve (it requires circumventing the login/profile script at startup). However, I do agree that this should be closed since it is really a Canonical issue with the Community Preview (a problem in /etc/profile.d/wsl-integration.sh). It's been reported to Canonical here.
