Describe the bug

Hi,

wslu v4.1.1-1 works just fine with our setups and opens a web browser automatically without issues, but since the changes applied in v4.1.2 anyone in my team who installed wslu after 11th March (v4.1.2) is having issues and the browser wont open automatically etc.

Is it possible you could make wslu v4.1.1-1 available just for me to have my team members install it? This would be the easiest and quickest option for us.

Yours hopeful!
Justin.

Sorry for the late reply, I am out of town for holidays. Could you provide which WSL distribution are you using? In this way I can compile one for you.

Also can you provide the result for wslview --debug <url>? Thanks!

NB. The whole team is on Version 1

re wslview --debug , it works just fine for me as I am on wslu v4.1.1-1....

[jmonk@JMONK-D3ZG2T3 ~]$ wslview --version
wslu v4.1.1-1

However, it doesn't work for those on wslu v4.1.2, hence the request. I will need to wait until tomorrow to get the output of one of the team where this is not working.

@jmonk73 Hi, did you obtain the output?

[jmonk73]

@patrick330602 Apologies, yes I did.

They all get the following output & error....

[jignacio@JIGNACIO-US ~]$ wslview --version
[error] You should use Bash 5 and higher; exiting.
[jignacio@JIGNACIO-US ~]$ wslview --debug https://www.google.com/
[debug:/usr/bin/wslview] Showing debug output.
[error] You should use Bash 5 and higher; exiting.

We even tried updating this team member to Bash 5 and he still gets the exact same output as above.

[jignacio@JIGNACIO-US ~]$ bash --version

FYI , my bash version is...

[jmonk@JMONK-D3ZG2T3 ~]$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.4.20(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)

... and works without issue with wslu v4.1.1-1

[patrick330602]

I believe I know the issue. I will try to release an emergency release tonight.

[jmonk73]

Ok thanks!
