WSL Version

• WSL 2

Kernel Version

4.4.0-19041-Microsoft

Repro Steps

Install nodejs from Archlinux repo with pacman -S nodejs, and run node

Expected Behavior

nodejs starts

Actual Behavior

nodejs does not start. exec format error.

wangqr@ocalhost:~$ node
zsh: exec format error: node

Diagnostic Logs

nodejs can start if we manually invoke ld-linux, although it is already the interpreter in the ELF.

@wangqr what is the output of zsh --version?

This is a screenshot of Arch running node in a zsh session:

[wangqr]

It's zsh 5.8.1. Running under bash or strace gives save result though.

wangqr@ocalhost:~$ zsh --version
zsh 5.8.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
wangqr@ocalhost:~$ bash -c /usr/bin/node
bash: line 1: /usr/bin/node: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Some more information:

1. I do find a way to solve the issue:

   • In a docker, downgrade glibc from 2.35 to 2.33 using Archlinux Archive on 2022-02-14
   • Compile nodejs (asp checkout nodejs; cd nodejs/trunk; makepkg)
   • The resulting pkg.tar.zst will work fine on WSL1
   • Note: I built the package in a docker container running on a real archlinux machine. I haven't tried if downgrading glibc on WSL1 works. Because downgrading glibc is likely to break other packages, and fixing glibc issue in WSL1 is difficult.

2. Compiling from source on WSL1 with the current glibc 2.35-2 will fail halfway with "Exec format error":

The same problem on Debian:

As in #5875 following succeeds:

/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /usr/bin/node --version

[gavenkoa]

Similar symptoms in #5154

[qyb]

the same error: #8219

[srogerf]

Had the same issues and upgrading to WSL 2 worked for me
wsl --set-version <name> 2

Use from
wsl -l -v

I did follow https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual#step-3---enable-virtual-machine-feature (and step 4) but node is working for me now. This is with Ubuntu 22.04

[gavenkoa]

Any progress? I upgraded to 21H2:

cmd /c ver
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19044.1826]

but still happens:

# strace -f node --help
execve("/usr/bin/node", ["node", "--help"], 0x7ffff7a99db0 /* 31 vars */) = -1 ENOEXEC (Exec format error)
strace: exec: Exec format error

[gavenkoa]

As a workaround I updated npm tool (actual file is /usr/share/nodejs/npm/bin/npm-cli.js):

#!/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /usr/bin/node
//#!/usr/bin/env node
require('../lib/cli.js')(process)

[gavenkoa]

It is possible to make a workaround for node itself:

sudo mv /usr/bin/node /usr/bin/node-orig
printf '#!/bin/sh\nexec /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /usr/bin/node-orig "$@"' | sudo tee /usr/bin/node
sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/node

My previous fix for npm won't work with the updated node executable, needs to be reverted.

[andreineculau]

@gavenkoa my general fix is to run

wsl-fix-exec-format-error $(realpath $(command -v node))

The script is here: https://github.com/ysoftwareab/yplatform/blob/master/bin/wsl-fix-exec-format-error

Based on https://gist.github.com/the-moog/179753aacc52b262d1068878d520e9c9 by @the-moog @wangqr 🙌

Running realpath is needed because sometimes (eg homebrew) node in your $PATH is a symlink

PS: I have found that I need to patch gzip as well, not just node, so a generic patch script is really good to have

[gavenkoa]

@andreineculau I understand the solution, the initial analysis was done by #8219 (comment) stating that it is a bug in lxcore.sys.

ls.so loads image like the exec call but avoids problems in Microsoft's lxcore.sys. It is better for sysadmins who are afraid binary patching with elftools.elf.elffile import ELFFile ))

[wangqr]

sudo mv /usr/bin/node /usr/bin/node-orig
printf '#!/bin/sh\nexec /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /usr/bin/node-orig "$@"' | sudo tee /usr/bin/node
sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/node

@gavenkoa This method can be problematic for modules that assume argv[0] be node itself when running node. For example, npm i node-sass will fail:

wangqr@ocalhost:~$ npm i node-sass

I had the same issue. I think you altered npm script, I warned about this above;

If node executable is operable every tool is Nodejs toolchain will wok.

[qchencc]

I got the same problem.
Win10 21H2 and Ubuntu 22.04 WSL1

after sudo apt install nodejs
only get /usr/bin/node: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

I fixed this problem by using nodejs package
https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/README.md#debinstall

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

[lexavey]

i got same problem.

i fix this problem using this command, hope help other

sudo python3 ./fixexec.py $(realpath $(command -v node))
node -v

[PovelikinRostislav]

Update to WSL v2 as @srogerf suggested - worked for me.
Ubuntu 22.04.1
Node v12.22.9

[justonia]

@qchencc 's solution worked for me on WSL1 + Ubuntu 18.04 + Windows 11 22H2, but required switching to Node v16:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

[ytrezq]

There were a similar issue with Qt. It was fixable using a strip command for removing .note section from the binary. But which one it would be in that case?

I also encountered the same problem and solved it by:

2. Establish a soft connection for node/npm/npx;
