Hi, thank you for providing the prebuild kernels. I was able to correctly install the Kernel and load all the modules that are stated in the readme of this repo. However i cannot use the usbip command. It tells me WARNING: usbip not found for kernel 5.10.16.3-microsoft
Let me know if you have a solution to my problem.
@mx0c to be honest I've been using the kernel vhci support for virtualhere rather than usbip so hadn't run into this.
I've enabled a couple more usbip config settings in the kernel, could you try this new build? https://gitlab.com/alelec/wsl2-usb-kernel/-/releases/linux-msft-wsl-5.10.16.3.2
sadly it didn't work. I also tried to compile and install the USBIP module according to this: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheProgramableTurtle/Files/master/build_usbip.sh now im getting a different error: usbip: error while loading shared libraries: libusbip.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Thanks for your effort.
I've just tried myself, is this the full message you saw initially?
WARNING: usbip not found for kernel 5.10.16.3-microsoft
You may need to install the following packages for this specific kernel:
linux-tools-5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2+
linux-cloud-tools-5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2+
You may also want to install one of the following packages to keep up to date:
linux-tools-standard-WSL2+
linux-cloud-tools-standard-WSL2+
It looks like there's an extra package that needs to be compiled, not just different kernel config settings.
Yes, that is the error message i also got. I thought so too but couldn't find any information about theses packages and how to install them.
Copying the built libs to /lib: cd tools/usb/usbip && cp libsrc/.libs/libusbip.so.0 /lib/libusbip.so.0
solved my problem. Thank you for your help. :)
Hi just wanted to say thanks for your instructions, they were a huge help.
I've set up a gitlab ci auto-building project which should now automatically build any new tagged kernel releases from the WSL official repo with all the USB drivers compiled in. I ended up compiling them directly in rather than as modules because I couldn't find a simple way to get the modules to auto-load at wsl startup (without needing a full systemd install which is a bit of a pain).
For anyone who wants USB kernels on their WSL ubuntu, you can download pre-compiled copies here: https://gitlab.com/alelec/wsl2-usb-kernel/-/releases
The zip package attached to each release contains three deb files and an install script, which will handle installing the deb packages as well as configuring the .wslconfig file automatically to use it. Just cd into the extracted zip folder and run
bash ./install.sh
If you find it interesting / useful I'd be more than happy for you to include in your readme but no pressure, really just wanted to share my thanks.
Cheers, Andrew
