This situation affected me too (Ubuntu 22.04). I couldn't open any files from the GNOME Activities overview, and trying to open file paths from the Audacious playlist wouldn't work either. With wslu installed, the terminal output from Audacious read:
~$ audacious Gtk-Message: 10:40:48.739: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" grep: /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/WSLInterop: No such file or directory WSL Interopability is disabled. Please enable it before using WSL. grep: /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/WSLInterop: No such file or directory [error] WSL Interoperability is disabled.

And, files open from the Activities overview just fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to wslu in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1981349 Title: wslu prevents from opening files and folders on some situations Status in wslu package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: With wslu installed, files and locations can't be opened from Gnome Activities View neither on Wayland session nor on Xorg one. The same happens when I try to go to a location from Places Status Indicator extension.In fact, I filed a bug some time ago against this extension, but that bug was expired. Now I found the reason for that bug so I create a bug report against the proper package. The bug report against Places Status Indicator is this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extensions/+bug/1970181 I realized the cause of the bug in Places Status Indicator when I saw this thread: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/701579 Once I removed wslu from my system (on two different pc's) the problem with the extension has gone and I can open files and folders from Activities view.
