systemctl reboot gives error Failed to spawn the command status.code() is None unexpectedly #15

I installed ArchLinux using Distrod. I have enabled it upon being given a prompt. I install xorg-server and xorg-xinit. I installed lightdm and lightdm-gtk-greeter and enabled it using systemctl enable lightdm. I also installed qtile using pacman -S qtile. After that, to start lightdm at startup, I did systemctl reboot. I got the following error:

Hangup [Distrod][ERROR] Failed to spawn the command. Caused by: status.code() is None unexpectedly.

I then tried to start x server manually by doing startx which gave the following error: Xorg.1.log

I had also install alacritty terminal emulator and when I ran alacritty, it worked fine and a terminal instance spawned.

I also tried starting qtile directly by running qtile start but got the error

meaning that Weston WM (which I guess wsl is built on) was already running

I am on windows build 22504.1010

I did systemctl reboot. I got the following error:

Hangup

That's because you rebooted the WSL instance. WSL2 is a VM, so rebooting it reboots the VM, and you lose the connection with the session you were in. However, the error message has room for improvement, which seemed to have confused you.

BTW, rebooting a VM indeed works, but I guess that's not how WSL expects users to do.

Other parts related to running a full desktop environment in WSL2 are not related to Distrod. So, I may close this issue in a while.

Running lightdm on WSL2, whether systemd is running or not, is not the kind of thing that can be done by following the Arch wiki's instructions for desktop PCs, you know. It's technically possible, but you'll need to find existing documentation first or need to be familiar with wayland and other login mechanisms.

Closing this.
