Support Warp for Linux on WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)

[dannyneira]

The issue for users to track and show support for running Warp for Linux on WSL.

To be clear, we are still working on making a native Warp for Windows (exe), which we will post about on #204 later this year so stay tuned!

We have a list of workarounds to issues running Linux here. If any of the workarounds help, please comment on https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/4513 with your Linux distro, installation (WSL, Baremetal or VM, x86 or ARM), the issue you had, the workaround that fixed it, and any other workarounds are not on the list.

How important is this feature to you?

Please add a 👍 to the original post at the top to signal that you want this feature, and subscribe if you'd like to be notified. We'll be posting updates on this thread (if/when this is being worked on).

Please avoid comments with spam-like "+1" or 👍 .

@dannyneira I think you meant to link to this issue from your comment on #204, but made a typo (and accidentally linked to #424).

Just to share, I've actually had success this morning just installing the linux .deb in an ubuntu WSL2 on windows 11 that allows GUI apps. Install the .deb and then just launch warp from the windows start menu!

Pretty much everything seems to be working really well, you just need to make sure you have Firefox installed to allow you to log in etc and I had to use the copy auth code method rather then being automatically logged in as the referral back to warp didn't function with wsl2 in the way.

It's not a perfect experience as things like maximising the window don't really work and the start menu icon is just linux instead of indicating it is warp, but its already soooo much better then any other terminal experience so far 🙌 Kudos 🤜

p.s. I had happened to be trying Git Butler too and hence knowing to install Firefox etc. Some useful git-butler install instructions that ended up being helpful for warp!

[S1monlol]

Works decently on wsl2, but I can't resize or move the window at all besides clicking the fullscreen button, and once I fullscreen the window, I can't change it back to windowed again.

[WilsonCazarre]

Hi @JonParton. I tried earlier to run on wsl2, but I keep running into this error when trying to launch Warp. Any insight on how to work around it?

[Anidion]

Same issue as @WilsonCazarre, this time on an NVIDIA GPU. Firefox works fine in GUI.

Update: running it with the environment variable WARP_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 opened the GUI, but now I'm having issues pasting the auth code in to activate, but that's a separate issue.

[WilsonCazarre]

@Anidion I forgot to mention that I'm also using an NVIDIA GPU (GTX 1050) but I think WSL is not detecting that, I'm not sure why.

[iambj]

I ended up with this command: WARP_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 MESA_D3D12_DEFAULT_ADAPTER_NAME=NVIDIA warp-terminal, and I get to the login screen but can't paste my token. However, it now detects my RTX 2070 Super. (source for the MESA variable: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg/wiki/GPU-selection-in-WSLg)

On a side note, I know this isn't the same issue, but I've been trying all day to get it to launch in my Ubuntu 20.04 VM (VMWare Player), and it launched with that command. I had tried with X11 and Wayland, and after both didn't work, I switched back to Wayland. On a whim, I tried the environment variable, and Warp launched.

[bedesv]

I've also got it running using WARP_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 warp-terminal and am having trouble pasting my auth token. The Warp client says "An invalid auth token was entered into the modal. Not the first time? See our troubleshooting docs." I can paste the auth token into other WSL gui apps such as Firefox.

In the WSL terminal I can see that these events occur when I attempt to paste my auth token.

17:09:32 [INFO] dispatching typed action: PasteAuthUrl
17:09:32 [ERROR] Failed to parse AuthRedirectPayload from redirect URL: relative URL without a base

Any ideas on how to successfully login?

same for me... in the console is throwing this message: Failed to parse AuthRedirectPayload from redirect URL: relative URL without a base

Looks like there are a few of us with this issue now. I'm in the same boat. I tried copying and pasting only specific sections of the full token length, but nothing has worked so far. Seems the parsing instructions aren't aligning with what the auth link actually spits out. I'll see if I can find where the faulty instructions are, unless one of the devs beats me to it (or identifies another issue I'm not considering).

[bedesv]

I’m away from my computer atm but I saw a few threads in the Warp Discord channel about both people successfully running Warp in WSL and other ways to pass the auth token into Warp. Haven’t got anything working yet

[eglove]

It's been awhile since I used warp because I don't use Linux. It is my favorite terminal though.

WSL support isn't terribly important. WSL virtual memory is too slow for things like simple web servers. So there's not much I'd ever use it for.

Definitely looking forward to the native windows support though. I'd love to get back to warp.

[bedesv]

@eglove I think the interest in Warp on WSL now is mostly Windows users wanting to use Warp now - at least that’s why I’m interested. I doubt that it’ll be a long term thing.

What?! Did you already used WSL2?! I'm just using everything within wsl without any memory issues. Docker (20 containers up and running), phpstorm, vscode + running bun dev server. Never had any issues with "slow memory"

[TechNerd8]

I was able to find a workaround for the login issue! The "mimeapps.list" file was not getting updated with the custom x-scheme-handler entry for "warp://" files/URLs, so I added "x-scheme-handler/warp=dev.warp.Warp.desktop" to the end of that file (for me, located at ~/.config/mimeapps.list). Then, I updated the WSL's .desktop file database with the command "update-desktop-database", and finally I had to open a second WSL command line tab to use this command: "xdg-open [PASTE AUTH URL HERE]" on the command line once I got the auth url after logging in. Make sure you surround your URL with double quotes, and then go check your Warp terminal-- you should be successfully logged in!

(Not sure if it matters, but I just realized one of the first things I tried was to replace the "%U" with "%u" in the dev.warp.Warp.desktop file, and I forgot to change it back, so that may or may not have contributed to my success.)

[hra42]

I got it working now!

This way i also got it working. Thats pretty Easy.

• Install .deb package in wsl
• Open up windows host start menu
• type in "warp"
• start 😆

But as some other already mentioned, there are issues with window resizing and login-auth-token pasting stuff... I worked around it and now i can play around 😍 Thanks!

[bedesv]

I couldn't get the login working using @TechNerd8 method. Running the xdg-open command in a new terminal just opened a new Warp instance rather than logging in my open one.

I did find another workaround by using an AutoHotkey script to type in my auth token. Create a .ahk file with the script below, then open it in AutoHotkey. Then click in the auth token field and press Ctrl + 5, the token will be typed in. Finally, press enter and you will be logged in. You can then delete the .ahk file if desired.

^5::
    Send,warp://auth/<rest of token...>
return

I also just tried this, but whenever I launch the app, it just crashes immediately...

[nemolivier]

Just adding the fact that it run on WSL2 arch on framework laptop 13. Running it with WARP_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 warp-terminal worked here. Same issue as the others with resizing. Also, font of the interface are really small, can't find a way to change them.

[ljtruong]

I got warp terminal working on windows 11 using the suggested install. This uses window 11's GUI apps. reading

1. Download warp .deb install from warp website https://app.warp.dev/download?package=deb
2. Install within WSL

   sudo -i dpkg warp-terminal_<latest_version>_amd64.deb

3. Then in windows start menu search for warp terminal

Notes: don't maximise window otherwise you might face resizing issues Other issues:

• unable to copy and paste

update: I can copy and paste using ctrl + shift + v

[hra42]

funny enought: WARP_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 warp-terminal works too :D

Hmm... my wsl is probably differently configured. Do you have installed all x11 dependencies? In addition to that, on my host i have a running vcxserver. To get vcxserver working you need to set an env var "DISPLAY" in your terminal-config (eg. ~/.zshrc) # set DISPLAY variable to the IP automatically assigned to WSL2 export DISPLAY=$(awk '/^nameserver/ {print $2; exit;}' </etc/resolv.conf):0.0

[Welding-Torch]

It works! And that too with no setup 🎉 All I ran was sudo dpkg -i warp-terminal_<latest_version>_amd64.deb and boom! It's installed.

[Welding-Torch]

unable to copy and paste

@ljtruong Uh, copy and paste works. I didn't change any settings, it just works out of the box. Maybe try again?

[khushnoodasif]

1. Still having issues with copy and paste.
2. I am not able to open Warp via the shortcut in Windows start menu.

@echo off
wsl -d Ubuntu WARP_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 MESA_D3D12_DEFAULT_ADAPTER_NAME=NVIDIA warp-terminal

Create a .bat file and edit via notepad and add the above code snippet and should be able to open warp with one click.

[bedesv]

@khushnoodas you can make the start menu shortcut work with these steps:

1. Search for “warp” in the Windows start menu
2. Click “open file location” (might have to right click on the Warp search result if using Windows 10)
3. Right click and open “Properties” on the “Warp (Ubuntu)” shortcut in the File Explorer window that opens
4. Edit the shortcut target to be <start of command…> WARP_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 warp-terminal
   • You can also add the MESA_D3D12_DEFAULT_ADAPTER_NAME=NVIDIA variable if needed too
5. Click Apply
6. Check it works by opening warp from the start menu

[vorporeal]

Hey all, sorry that there are issues with WSL but so happy to see y'all working together to try to fix things!

WARP_ENABLE_WAYLAND is known to be unstable and buggy.

One major one, as most of you have run into: copy-paste is not working under native Wayland at the monment.

We're hoping to at least fix the copy-paste issue in the next couple days, and we're also hard at work on fixing all other issues with running Warp natively under Wayland so that it works for y'all out-of-the-box.

[ljtruong]

@Welding-Torch thank you. I didn't realise the copy and paste was ctrl+shift+V. I went into settings to change the default back to ctrl+C and ctrl + V for copy and paste.

[grimwarden]

I'm not having success so far with a fresh Ubuntu install. Launching warp from the start menu doesn't work. I have an i5 HP laptop with integrated graphics.

This got me up and running. After I installed Warp it would try and open and I would see winit apps on my task bar (Windows 11 Surface Book 3). I added the WARP_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 and that fixed that so Warp would actually come up. But there were two of them and closing one would close both of them. Adding the MESA_D3D12_DEFAULT_ADAPTER_NAME=NVIDIA fixed the second window opening and Warp seems to be working normally.

[jeffrey-arndt]

Yeah been trying this for a few hours

Always opens a momentary transparent window then crashes

[Stelminator]

In case anyone has run into something similar. I'm having some trouble getting libxcb-xkb1 libxkbcommon-x11-0 via sudo apt --fix-broken install. It seems to be in my resolver somewhere (i.e. unrelated). I was wondering if this dependency is expected.

Ubuntu 23.10 cat /etc/os-release

[Stelminator]

I have a rather customized WSL Ubuntu install on Windows 11. By default, that means I may be missing things. Here's what I've had to run to get things to work.

sudo apt-get install firefox

This seemed necessary, from previous comments, for opening links inside the VM.

---

sudo apt-get install libxcb-xkb1 libxkbcommon-x11-0

Some dependency. That's probably enough if your resolver is working (mine wasn't), so I also ran these multiple times:

sudo apt --fix-missing install
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo apt-get clean

And a deb re-install somewhere in there:

sudo dpkg -i warp-terminal_0.2024.02.20.08.01.stable.02_amd64.deb

---

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xdg-utils

This gave me access to xdg-open and friends, which seemed to make Firefox happier to try to open warp:// links with the system, but that didn't seem to get to Warp correctly.

---

Finally, I used the "copy auth token" link from the login page, then ran:

xdg-open 'warp://auth/desktop_redirect?refresh_token=[...snip...]'

Single quotes are recommended.

The Warp window I had opened finally did something other than show a login screen.

Dropping this here for reference and searchability. Hope it helps someone, even if that's just me from the future. I popped into Discord, but it seems focused on native Linux and isn't search-engine-friendly to the outside world.

Edited to add: Is the "copy auth token" link supposed to be a warp://... link? Pasting that into the box in the app gave me an error message. I couldn't tell if it was pasted correctly, but paste seemed to work in Firefox, so 🤷 .

[jayrcodes]

I tried it using WSL2 and its working. But the icons and cursor looks small and I can't find way to adjust it. Thoughts?

[mbonaci]

In my experience, making the Warp-for-Linux work smoothly on WSL is what the vast majority of your Windows users will actually need (not the Warp for Windows, i.e. making Warp run well on cmd or PowerShell).

I installed it using sudo dpkg -i downloaded-warp-linux-install-package.deb and the only thing I noticed doesn't work so far are "open commands" (e.g. middle-click a path to open a file or folder).

[sharunkumar]

Is there a way to set WARP_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 when launching from the start menu? If I edit the shortcut, it seems like the changes are reverted.

Seems like updating the desktop entry at /usr/share/applications/dev.warp.Warp.desktop with Exec=env WARP_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 warp-terminal %U seems to do the trick, but it feels like a hack, plus the changes could be lost when upgrading warp

[Welding-Torch]

I think @mbonaci makes a good point. There is a large population of developers who use Windows as their OS and WSL for anything development related. It gives them the best of both worlds. I think the Warp WSL implementation should get more attention from the warp devs.

Close out all sessions and start Warp again from the shortcut for it to take effect.

For a bunch of reasons, a native Windows GUI would be preferred. Along with Powershell support. I agree, for now, full support for Warp on Wayland on WSL2 would be pretty fantastic.

[Lschulzes]

@eglove I think the interest in Warp on WSL now is mostly Windows users wanting to use Warp now - at least that’s why I’m interested. I doubt that it’ll be a long term thing.

I develop on WSL, using the terminal a lot, so having it working for my sessions in WSL would be optimal

[doxxx]

Another not-working experience, which doesn't seem to match anybody else's experience here:

1. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 5560 which has both Intel integrated graphics as well as nVidia discrete graphics.
2. I can run X11 apps successfully.
3. Installed Warp using apt install, which automatically installed libxcb-xkb1 and libxkbcommon-x11-0
4. Executing warp-terminal with/without WARP_ENABLED_WAYLAND=1 doesn't make a difference

After launching warp-terminal from the shell command-line, I see a drop-shadow outline of the window appear but the inside is 100% transparent and I cannot interact with the window at all.

if that works for you, then you can set it up in you ~/.profile - refer https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/4240#issuecomment-1963333613
