  1. Open up powershell and write wsl -d DISTRONAME -u root
  2. Delete /usr/sbin/start-systemd-namespace and /usr/sbin/enter-systemd-namespace (rm -rf XXX)
  3. Edit the file /etc/bash.bashrc using your favorite text editor and comment out source /usr/sbin/start-systemd-namespace It should look something like: 
    # Start or enter a PID namespace in WSL2
# source /usr/sbin/start-systemd-namespace

Tada you should now be able to start the WSL again! You can remove those two lines as well if you want.

Not strictly running the script, but after following the guide previous to this script; I get the following error trying to start wsl as you discribed.

>wsl -d DISTRONAME -u root /usr/sbin/enter-systemd-namespace: line 10: /usr/sbin/daemonize: No such file or directory

@OskyEdz you can open the windows file explorer and go into the WSL disk and do the above instead of using the WSL cli. image

@codekuu I'm not sure how you think removing this setup is fixing it? There's a real fix in comment https://github.com/DamionGans/ubuntu-wsl2-systemd-script/issues/36#issuecomment-732090101 for Ubuntu-22.04. For Ubuntu-20.04 this script "just works".
