wslg stopped working after recent changes.

Hi @Locietta

Recent updates to the kernel have broken wslg support. Opening gedit on my instance leads to the terminal hanging. I've collated journalctl logs for the same which points to xWayland crashing.

Issue does not persist in the microsoft-standard kernel.

gedit works for me though, what distro are you currently on?

Ubuntu 24.10

This issues occurs when systemd is enabled in /etc/wsl.conf. Disabling systemd fixes the issue. This isn't the case however in the stock kernel.

A systemd related change was here:

• Commit 9bcd70d

Do you use custom Kernel CMD line kernelCommandLine ?

I'm building the kernel with the change reverted. Will post an update if it fixes the issue

Reverting 9bcd70d8f20bd20d30102825749e62d7d67e6c8b seems to have resolved the issue.

I can't reproduce the problem unless I use wslg from a headless environment like ssh, but it happens with the official kernel too.
