Public bug reported: [Impact]
* Ubuntu in WSL2 does not detect the PulseAudio or X11 server running on Windows. Detecting them is easy and doing so improves the setup experience. [Test Case] (Run once in WSL1 and once in WSL2) * Install and start PulseAudio for Windows ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WSL#Enabling_Sound ) * Install and start an X11 server for Windows ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WSL#Running_Graphical_Applications ) * Start the Ubuntu WSL terminal * Make sure pulseaudio is not installed: $ pulseaudio Command 'pulseaudio' not found, but can be installed with: apt install pulseaudio * Install mpg321 and x11-utils inside Ubuntu and run xeyes and play an MP3 file $ sudo apt install x11-utils mpg321 $ xeyes $ mpg321 foo.mp3 * Install pulseaudio $ sudo apt install pulseaudio * Close all Ubuntu WSL sessions * Start the Ubuntu WSL terminal again * Play an MP3 again, it should still work [Regression Potential] * Since the detection takes place in setting the profile mistakes in the implementation may trigger errors show to the users on login. Detecting X and PulseAudio may also break in WSL1 with the changed detection logic, but tests include verifying that this still works. ** Affects: wslu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853343 Title: Please detect sound and X server in WSL2, too To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wslu/+bug/1853343/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
