Request to share your successful setup/configuration #14

Open claudiusraphael opened 3 years ago

claudiusraphael commented 3 years ago

I would like to ask all of you to share your successful setup/configuration for Distrod.

Please include:

Why i am asking for it?

Because it helps everyone interested to use Distrod and might show up issues with the README, the general process, issues yet not identified although vaguely discovered with the core-routines, and so on.

Thank you.

.\distrod_wsl_launcher.exe -d Ubuntu

Choose Ubuntu -> Focal to install. After installation, update the system, then run wsl.exe --shutdown to terminate all WSL instances.

The reason I use fail2ban as the proof is that if fail2ban is installed on Ubuntu Focal without systemd, it will prevent the WSL instance from successfully executing sudo do-release-upgrade, for during the upgrade process, it is trying to use systemctl to stop its daemon which is never actually running after the installation. Since systemctl cannot be found, forcing do-release-upgrade to roll back. Please note that if by editing /etc/apt/sources.list to change the codename then run sudo apt full-upgrade to upgrade Ubuntu, fail2ban would not cause any problem

sudo apt install fail2ban

Run Restart-Computer in PowerShell. After Windows reboot, launch the WSL instance

sudo systemctl status fail2ban

Change Prompt=lts to Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to see if fail2ban prevents the system from upgrade

sudo do-release-upgrade

After it prompt for restart, run wsl.exe --shutdown

then sudo systemctl status fail2ban
