Pengwin Enterprise WSL - Microsoft Store - broken, need refund or upgrade

[devlocalca]

I purchased Penwin Enterprise Linux (WSL) on the Microsoft store.

It worked well for a while, but not it does not.

I need to get this fixed or get a refund, and need someone from Whitewater Foundry to contact me.

I cannot get package updates with yum

---

At the root prompt: #

when I now try to do: yum -y update

I get:

[root@host ~]# yum -y update

Also if this is a derivative of RHEL or CentOS, I would like to upgrade to version 8.x

This is ver 7.6

Hello @devlocalca,

Looks like there is an internet problem at your side. I checked the repositories and I can reach them. You can also try to uninstall it and reinstall. The current version is 7.7 and it will stay like this for a while until we find a good replacement for scientific Linux.

If you want to be contacted by othe way write us to enterprise@whitewaterfoundry.com
