Tried both the Ubuntu server deb package, and also tried using alien to convert the rpm to deb package.

Error returned as follows:

Same issue here, it looks like preinst and some other files are missing shebang.

I got the same errors as you when installing the Ubuntu Server .deb package and assumed the install failed. But a couple of weeks later I discovered it still installed successfully. I am using WSL2 with Ubuntu 20.04 on Windows 11.

I recommend you check if it did actually install. Try running:

session-manager-plugin --version

If that worked, then you should also test it's working properly by starting a session to an SSM-enabled EC2 instance using the AWS CLI:

aws ssm start-session --target '<ec2-instance-id>'

Here's my full console log, for reference:

Anyone found a solution to this?

I've installed the session-manager-plugin today with no issues. Nor have I had any previously.

From the Ubuntu WSL command line...

curl "https://s3.amazonaws.com/session-manager-downloads/plugin/latest/ubuntu_64bit/session-manager-plugin.deb" -o "session-manager-plugin.deb"

and then

sudo dpkg -i session-manager-plugin.deb

Hope this fixes the issue for you!
