    @U01BH6ZNS8H /etc/wsl.conf can be created if it is not already in the WSL linux

    ok. can you please download Ubuntu 20.04 LTS using the Windows Store?

  • U01BH6ZNS8H
    U01BH6ZNS8H Posts: 80 🧑🏻‍🚀 - Cadet

    Yes I can but do I need to uninstall 18.04 version first?

    After that is done, you enter wsl --list again to see the images you have. you should then see the ubuntu 20.04 version. This version, we will try to upgrade to wsl 2 by entering wsl --set-version <name of the image> 2

    Thomas Lehner Support Engineer @ Spryker Posts: 289 🏛 - Council (mod)

    uninstalling is not necessary, but you will not need that image anymore

  • Thomas Lehner
    Thomas Lehner Support Engineer @ Spryker Posts: 289 🏛 - Council (mod)

  • U01BH6ZNS8H
    U01BH6ZNS8H Posts: 80 🧑🏻‍🚀 - Cadet

    should it be "wsl --set-version Ubuntu-20.04 2"?

  • Thomas Lehner
    Thomas Lehner Support Engineer @ Spryker Posts: 289 🏛 - Council (mod)

    if that is what wsl --list says that the image is called, yes

    once done, make sure your docker for windows is on the very latest version and activate the WSL integration via Resourecs>WSL Integration for your Ubuntu
