Just for the record, since that's the first google finds when searching for the issue: You don't need to fiddle with your clib or even downgrade to gpg1, the only thing needed to make it work is an environment-Variable, which is best to set by appending these Lines to your shell-Initialisation (~/.bashrc on a default-wsl-ubuntu install):
GPG_TTY=$(tty)
export GPG_TTY
See man gpg-agent
in your Linux for an explanation.
EDIT: forgot to say why I still write this, since wsl 2 also fixes the Issue: You can't use wsl 2 on arm64 devices at the moment, ther seems to be a showstopper for the new release for this architecture. __ s.
How to fix this issue until Microsoft releases the fix via Windows Update. Solution by @rafaeldtinoco:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rafaeldtinoco/lp1871129 sudo apt update sudo apt install libc6=2.31-0ubuntu8+lp1871129~1 -y sudo apt-mark hold libc6
Worked nice! Thinks.
Guys, so what do I do if I have 18363 (WSL 1)build only and I need to use gpg? If I use Ubuntu 18.04 instead of 20.04 will it help? Or the only thing is a hack that is described above (by @rafaeldtinoco)
Try installing gnupg1, it works for me :)
sudo apt-get remove gpg sudo apt-get install gnupg1

This works for me
@onomatopellan in case if build-essential is installed it should be:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rafaeldtinoco/lp1871129 sudo apt update sudo apt install libc6=2.31-0ubuntu8+lp1871129~1 libc6-dev=2.31-0ubuntu8+lp1871129~1 libc-dev-bin=2.31-0ubuntu8+lp1871129~1 -y --allow-downgrades sudo apt-mark hold libc6
to avoid g++ removal.
But otherwise it works fine, thanks to you and @rafaeldtinoco.

Best sollution. Simple. Works for me in Windows build 2004 WSL2 and Ubuntu 20.04
Still having the same issue after try every "solution here" any other suggest? WSL2 ubuntu v20.04
@janba12: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/5125#issuecomment-631804986 worked for me. You might try this:
sudo apt remove gpg
sudo apt autoremove --purge -y
sudo apt install gnupg1
@janba12 What's the output of wsl.exe -l -v
?
I run into the same issue in trying to install v14 of Nodejs following the steps outlined in this article. It seems that the nodesource_setup.sh script that is downoaded reverses the workaround steps
sudo apt-get remove gpg
sudo apt-get install gnupg1
and fails with the same error. Here is version info for me
PS C:\Users\RKevi> wsl -l -v
NAME STATE VERSION
* Ubuntu Stopped 1
docker-desktop-data Running 2
@KevinBurton Your Ubuntu distro is still WSL1. You need to convert it to WSL2 with
wsl.exe --set-version Ubuntu 2
After that issues like the one in this thread should not happen anymore.
Don't mess up your system by installing / disabling extra programs, just follow the inctructions carefully on micosoft's website. It takes only 5 minutes to apply.
The issue i had happened because i was instaling "ubuntu" from Microsoft Store. i just uninstall that one and get Ubuntu 20.04 LTS , that fixed all the issues. thanks for your answers
@janba12: #5125 (comment) worked for me. You might try this:
sudo apt remove gpg sudo apt autoremove --purge -y sudo apt install gnupg1
Thank you! That was much simpler than some of the solutions above, and it worked for me when installing Yarn

this is really good for me! ths!!!! windows 10 2004 , wsl1 Ubuntu 20.04
Ubuntu 20.04 sudo apt remove gpg sudo apt install gnupg1
Ubuntu 20.04 sudo apt remove gpg sudo apt install gnupg1
I was trying to run as follows: curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
And was getting error: gpg: can't connect to the agent: IPC connect call failed
Ran the commands provided > sudo apt remove gpg
sudo apt install gnupg1 .. and after that the command worked, Thank you

Works perfectly (and so true btw, just read the docs 😅) while neither other solution worked for me. Thank you so much! 🤘
So here are the commands that saved my day:
wsl --set-default-version 2
wsl --set-version Ubuntu 2
wsl --list --verbose
(last command is for checking that Ubuntu is using WSL2)
On Windows 10 before the Windows preview.
You are installed/enabled the WSL feature
Install your Linux distribution of choice (Ubuntu 20.04 on my system) from Microsoft Store
Register for Windows Insider program > https://insider.windows.com/en-us/ follow the getting-started document and do all things.
Choose Preview channel.
Update your system to the last Windows preview.
After that update your system to latest Windows 10 preview. My latest update is 19041.423
Download a msi installer from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-kernel and install this "Linux kernel update package".
Restart your Windows system.
Open your Powershell as Administrator.
Type wsl --set-version <Distro> 2
I have a fresh installation of Windows 10, and I am trying to get a development environment with WSL set up. I enabled WSL and installed Ubuntu from the Microsoft Store. Everything went smoothly in that process. Then, I tried to go through the steps to install Yarn here.
When I try to run the first line (
curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
), I get the error in the title:$ curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add - gpg: can't connect to the agent: IPC connect call failed
I have looked up this error, and there were a few suggestions related to
gpg-agent
that I tried, such as manually starting the agent and creating/deleting certain configuration files related togpg
. Everything I tried resulted in the same error above. I am at a loss for what to try next. Has anyone else seen and fixed this issue?
do sudo apt remove gpg then sudo apt install gnupg1 it worked.
@onomatopellan in case if build-essential is installed it should be:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rafaeldtinoco/lp1871129 sudo apt update sudo apt install libc6=2.31-0ubuntu8+lp1871129~1 libc6-dev=2.31-0ubuntu8+lp1871129~1 libc-dev-bin=2.31-0ubuntu8+lp1871129~1 -y --allow-downgrades sudo apt-mark hold libc6
to avoid g++ removal.
But otherwise it works fine, thanks to you and @rafaeldtinoco.
This helped me immensely. I hadn't struggled for long. Once I saw the issue, I googled and luckily found this. It worked for me as now I've been able to install rails.
Time to get rid of any workarounds. The fix for WSL1 in Windows 10 v2004 is finally here.
KB4571756 (OS Build 19041.508)
Now sleep in Ubuntu 20.04 WSL1 is working just fine.
Workaround discussions (to the extent anyone wants to continue them) can happen over in discussions.
