Is printed above the shell prompt. Apologies if this isn't specifically a wsltty issue, I'm not sure where the message comes from or how to go about tracking it down.

Could you provide some information about the issue? Like Windows 10 version? WSL1 or WSL2? What are the network interfaces in WSL? Did you add any network settings in WSL?

Windows 10 build 19041.21

PS C:\Users\James> wsl -l -v
  NAME      STATE           VERSION
* Ubuntu    Running         1

(confusingly, I think this means i have wsl 2 - https://askubuntu.com/questions/1177729/wsl-am-i-running-version-1-or-version-2)

I haven't changed anything network related in WSL, as far as I can recall.

Ohh... It's my fault. wsltty uses wslbridge2. I added an environment variable WSL_GUEST_IP in wslbridge2 backend with which users can access eth0 IP address. But that virtual network interface is available for WSL2 only. I forgot to add the check.

Workaround: Open the wslbridge2 repository, open the Appveyor build badge, download the artifact in Ubuntu build, place it in C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\wsltty\bin path.

Cool, seems like it worked!

mintty commented 4 years ago

Is this still an issue or can we close it?

Biswa96 commented 4 years ago

Yes, this can be closed.
