are you using dockerd or containerd as your container engine? is nerdctl working when docker cli doesn’t?

Copy code

Last command run:

looks like WSL is having some issues. I have seen problems where RD is responsible for installing Hyper-V and WSL. Do you have any other WSL2 distros running on your machine?

also are you really on RD 1.3? or 1.6? error message lists 1.3 which is quite old

wsl -l -v NAME STATE VERSION * Ubuntu Running 1

Version: 1.3.0

Let me try again with the latest version

wide-mechanic-33041

10/24/2022, 12:16 PM

so if you upgrade that v1 to v2 does it still work

Now I installed the latest version of RD but still getting this error

Copy code

docker pull hello-world
Using default tag: latest
error during connect: This error may indicate that the docker daemon is not running.: Post "<http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.24/images/create?fromImage=hello-world&tag=latest>": open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system cannot find the file specified.

are you configured to use dockerd or containerd in Rancher’s dialog?

and if dockerd did you do the docker content use rancher-desktop if you are not running admin

nutritious-librarian-97701

10/24/2022, 8:48 PM

containerd

wide-mechanic-33041

10/24/2022, 8:48 PM

well than you need to use nerdctl pull hello-world 😉

10/24/2022, 8:55 PM

ok but I think my installation still have some issues.

wide-mechanic-33041

10/24/2022, 8:56 PM

yeah definitely still has issues. My gut tells me that WSL2/Hyper-V is not working on your machine correctly

its either WSL2 is not installed correctly or it could be admin is needed to complete the import

i would try to convert your Ubnt20 to v2 to see if it starts and runs. if so than the alpine distro for RD shouldn’t have issues

nutritious-librarian-97701

I am working in WSL2 installation to get this going.... I will also try alpine if ubuntu didn't work

Thanks for your help!

wide-mechanic-33041

10/24/2022, 8:59 PM

well RD is an alpine distro. if you cant do a set-version 2 for your existing ubuntu and it works than RD will have issues

nutritious-librarian-97701

10/24/2022, 11:22 PM

Finally !!

I have installed the new wsl2 ubuntu version but I have to first uninstall the RD.

Then I install the RD and it works as expected

I didn't want to disturb my current wsl1 Ubuntu setup due to networking
