WSL2 Ubuntu anaconda image failed to run "conda activate"

[leizhou88]

Hi, Trying out the "anaconda" image on WSL2/Ubuntu, the image initialized to python 3.9 and all seems work well.

When I created a new anaconda environment with python=3.6 and tried to activate it, the following error was returned:

$ conda activate openai_spinup

CommandNotFoundError: Your shell has not been properly configured to use 'conda activate'.
To initialize your shell, run
    $ conda init <SHELL_NAME>
Currently supported shells are:
  - bash
  - fish
  - tcsh
  - xonsh
  - zsh
  - powershell

See 'conda init --help' for more information and options.

However running conda init shows that nothing was changed.

Any advice? Thanks.

Hi 👋

@alexander-smolyakov can you help take a look at this? thanks!

I'm running into the same issue with the miniconda3 container too. For clarity, I'm running on GitHub Codespaces. I can fix it by adding "postCreateCommand": "conda init" to my devcontainer.json.

Hey @leizhou88 and @RobertGallen, it seems the issue was fixed with the Conda update. I checked the latest tag for miniconda and anaconda devcontainers, and everything works fine.

Could you check if the issue is still relevant to you?

Yes it seems to be fine after updates
