Windows' PATH is not appended

fauzie811 commented 5 years ago

Windows' PATH environment variable is not appended to the WSL. "append-path" is already set to "on".

It seems reset PATH in /etc/profile. Please delete

export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

line in /etc/profile.

This is marked as bug. I'll fix it. Thanks.

yuk7 commented 5 years ago

I released new release included fixes this.

dazoe commented 5 years ago

That new release is copying the profile from the host's /etc directory and so is getting a profile that does not work very well

Oops! Thank you.

The Windows PATH (with .exe-files) doesn't seem to be included for me when I first install Alpine in WSL2.

I ended up starting ubuntu2004 (which had the correct windows paths in the PATH variable, formatted correctly) and copy-pasting the windows related path-directories into ~/.profile in Alpine.
