Sessions opening in Windows home, not Linux home #314

Closed bobf32 closed 2 years ago

Hi,

I notice that my WSL sessions are suddenly opening with the current directory set to /mnt/c/Users/<Windows username>. I'm pretty sure they used to open at /home/<WSL username>, which is the behaviour I want.

My shortcut to starting a WSL session is:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty\bin\mintty.exe --WSL="Ubuntu" --configdir="%APPDATA%\wsltty" -~  -

Has something changed? Just upgraded from 3.5.something to 3.6 and same behaviour in both versions.

I can not reproduce the issue in my system. Things are working as intended. See the following screenshot.

Wsltty installation creates shortcuts for both start directory. The ones that start in the Windows %USERPROFILE% are placed in folder WSLtty of the Start menu. Maybe you accidently used one of those?

Closing for missing indication of an issue.

Think I solved this. I had installed https://github.com/DamionGans/ubuntu-wsl2-systemd-script which I think changed my startup dir. Running https://github.com/FiestaLake/ubuntu-wsl2-systemd-script/blob/master/uninstall.sh fixed the issue.

... which I think changed my startup dir.

... which it should not do. If that's the case, please report an issue to that project.
