WSL 2 Tech Preview Not Working with 2.1.3.0 (38275)#4734
Comments
Workaround: downgrade from 2.1.3.0 to 2.1.2.0. Installers are available here. Verified that the WSL 2 Tech Preview works when I uninstall 2.1.3.0 and installed 2.1.2.0 instead. |
Also experienced the same issue. Nothing to add that wasn't already stated before. Downgrading also allowed me to use WSL2 once again with Docker. Windows Version: Build 18980.vb_release.190907-1301 |
Hi, I also experienced the same issue as described by sc0ttwad3 and his screenshots . I do have the same configuration as stated by JohnCrist1988 and AdamVig however my Windows OS Version is slightly different = 18980.1 |
Sorry for a question that I should know... but doesn't uninstalling destroy everything already in docker's world, all images, volumes, etc? I note that I can't downgrade easily... installing 2.1.2.0 after just exiting 2.1.3.0 results in the installer saying "Existing installation is up to date". |

Same issue here. |
I'm also experiencing this issue. |
I bit the bullet and
Interestingly enough, I lost all the volumes and images on the windows side, but retained all the volumes and images on the WSL2 side. Not what I expected. |
How do you install the older specific version? (2.1.2.0) The installer gives me 2.1.0.0, and offers me an update to 2.1.3.0 (which I verified doesn't work on my WSL 2 / build 18985 setup) but no option for 2.1.2.0 ... |
Have you tried this one? https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/edge-release-notes/#docker-desktop-community-2120 |
Hi, @wayne-optin Here is the 2.1.2.0 download link: https://download.docker.com/win/edge/38030/Docker%20Desktop%20Installer.exe |
I confirm that Docker Desktop 2.1.3.0 breaks WSL 2 Tech Preview, and Docker no longer works in WSL. |
Confirmed that moving back to version 2.1.2.0 fixed the problem for me with windows version 18990, do we know what broke on 2.1.3.0 and when we might get a fix. |
Ongoing confirmation that Windows 10 Build 18990.vb_release.190921-1704 works well with 2.1.2.0 but does not work with 2.1.3.0 regarding the use of the WSL2 technical preview. |
Also experiencing this, installed the latest version of Windows, and then WSL would not launch. Also I cannot launch Visual Studio from WSL. |
Disapointed in how many devs feel the need to post "me too" comments |
We are planning a new Edge release this week, which (we believe!) will fix this issue. |
I'm disappointed how someone thinks everyone posting on a bug report thread is a Docker dev. But that's none of my business. |
Thanks for your work on this @stephen-turner . I just installed 2.1.4 and it didn't seem to show me the WSL2 Tech Preview option, unless I am looking in the wrong place. Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Seems like people are also talking about this issue over here (at least I parsed them as the same issue): #4361 |
What link did you use to download it? the one on the edge release pages just returns 404 for me? maybe a CDN propagation issue. |
I didn't use a link. I had an earlier version installed and when docker started, it prompted me to update. |
For me WSL2 works well in version 2.1.4.0 (39357): https://i.imgur.com/Eyz3jL4.png |
@daegalus - since build number of 2.1.4.0 is 39357, the correct download link should probably be https://download.docker.com/win/edge/39357/Docker%20Desktop%20Installer.exe |
That is so odd. I am also running Ubuntu-18.04 LTS from the windows store. I don't see the WSL 2 Tech Preview (as shown in my above screenshot) I upgraded docker and then rebooted with no luck. Did you guys do anything else? I'll start by uninstalling docker altogether and installing the latest version of edge. |
Things are still not working for me.
Still, no sign of WSL 2 Tech Preview Anybody have any other ideas? I've rebooted |
Just throwing some things at the wall:
|
@coltenkrauter If you go to Settings and click Docker Engine, does it look like this? The upgrade works for me and I wonder it your settings has |
@coltenkrauter Maybe a silly question, but which build of Windows do you have? |
Encountering the same issue. WSL2 is not showing up on 2.1.4.0 (39357) |
Windows Version 10.0.18362 Build 18362 I appreciate your time! |
Apparently you are not in the fast ring. Your windows build is old, you need at least 18917 to have WSL 2: |
Oh my word... #SlapsOwnFace Thanks for recognizing that. Can't believe that skated past me. Time to update Windows. |
I would like to know if this is supposed to be shown with Archlinux WSL 2 (https://github.com/yuk7/ArchWSL)? I am in Windows Build 18970 and with Docker Desktop 2.1.4.0 installed but cannot see the menu entry also. |
Still having challenges with Docker Desktop 2.1.4.0 and WSL2 in that the window arrives but remains blank, failing to load. The docker deamon doesn't report as started. Have reverted back to build 2.1.2.0 in the meantime. Running Windows Fast Ring build 18999-1 and have WSL defaulted to run WSL2 with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS as per the documented recommendations. Maybe, if this is going to be in play for the next 6 months before going GA with H120 someone can point me (users?) to a post about where to get better debug logs to pass on with issues rather than just version numbers of random things? Thanks |
remove old docker, and install new docker desktop (solved) |
I have run into similar issues to robertiansweetman. I have the latest Insider Preview on the Fast ring and WSL2 enabled for the Ubuntu (Default) which is 18.04 under the hood. I started with 2.1.4.0 (Edge) from one of the direct links above and I could at least see the WSL2 Tech Preview option in the menu and get to the "secret" config page that utilizes WSL2. After installing it has suggested upgrading from 2.1.4.0 to 2.1.6.0, but I waited until I had at least tried starting once from the menu, which did work. After upgrading the menu item disappeared though I did find under the General settings there was a toggle for the WSL2 based engine, but it failed to detect my WSL2 enabled Ubuntu VM (Default, but basically 18.04 under the hood), so I went through and created the specific Ubuntu-18.04 version from the Store and converted it to WSL2 (probably should have enabled WSL2 as the default earlier but hadn't thought I'd be making this many VMs to test it out). Even with the Ubuntu-18.04 WSL2 enabled system present, the new 2.1.6.0 build is unable to detect it, and oddly it prompts me to enable WSL via the Windows Features, and when I follow those directions (copy and pasting the command it gives), the returned message is "Feature already enabled, no reboot required". |
OK, after uninstalling and going back to 2.1.4.0 and setting my default WSL back to Ubuntu I was able to get it working again, and it even continued working after upgrading to 2.1.6.0 again. I found the "secret" to getting it working in my WSL2 containers was to grant them access under "Resources > WSL Integration", though initially after doing this it showed I had two Docker engines running according to the status bar at the lower left. After a system reboot and another upgrade it only shows 1 Docker engine status again. I figured out I can switch between the contexts of |

@dragon788 - finally got to the bottom of my own particular issue here: Obviously it's a challenge to not conflate things so YMMV |

Expected behavior
WSL 2 Tech Preview starts.
Actual behavior
WSL 2 Tech Preview does not start. Instead, the window says "Loading..." on the Status tab and none of the sections under the "Logs" tab display anything. The problem persists after a Docker restart, a system restart, and a Docker reinstall.
The WSL 2 Tech Preview was working before. I updated to the latest Docker Edge version today then encountered this problem.
For what it's worth, I found that I am no longer able to close Docker windows with the "x" button in the top right. Instead, I have to right click the title bar and select "Close" from the context menu.
