Fish prompt broken after converting WSL1 instance to WSL2. (link to video included) #4125

So I had an Ubuntu instance that was already in WSL 2 and was able to install and use the fish prompt as you set it up in your steps in the video. I'll take a look at your logs and see what the error is, some PATH issue seems like the most likely culprit. :) |

@mscraigloewen I just tried it again with an Ubuntu instance already spun up. I set the default to v2, and spun it up. Did the package updates up front. Then I started the fish install. That's where the most recent video starts. |

Looks like #4104 |

@akulbe if you run this command: |

It might be #4104, or I think it could also a slightly different issue: It seems that the fish shell is trying to access files that are on your PATH that are stored in your 'Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Oracle/Java/javapath' and you don't have access to them. This could be due to them being links, or due to them being non-accessible due to admin rights. I'll install Java and try to repro! |

Yup this is a duplicate of #4104 , it's due to the link in the Java folder. Here's a temporary workaround (though I don't know how stable it will be since I'm sure that java_target folder will often change)
We'll track your issue on #4104! Thanks for filing it, I'll close this one out as a duplicate. |
|
You mentioned the workaround isn't working, please make sure to run the window with administrator privileges and the |

I missed the Thank you, sir! That did the trick. Do you think that "target" directory changes dynamically, or just with each Java revision? |
|
Couldn't tell you, I'm not sure how Java organizes that folder. So fingers crossed it won't break too often until we get a fix out! |
I had the same problem, but when I try to execute that command I get |

Okay, so I have the same setup. fish on WSL 2 with Ubuntu and omf → bobthefish, it was all working fine until today when I restarted my computer. I have the same problem when opening terminal but with a lot more entries, even uninstalling Java to remove it from the path leaves me with all the other ones. I realize this is being tracked in #4104 but since the fix was here I was wondering if there's a temporary fix for this too, hopefully 😶 |

Okay this is weirder than I thought, I opened another tab with Ubuntu and got that same output except at the end there was Then when I opened another tab, now fish is working without an issue and how it normally works. The only thing I did was open bash in cmd and take a look around if it was reading and following symlinks and stuff which was alluded to (it did, and so does fish). I have no clue what changed but at least it's working fine now. |

Hello, I've the same issue with WSL2 since today: One lead can be related to the fact that I installed a Python and Ruby environment yesterday For Ruby with Maybe it's the culprits.. |

Ok, I found the problem, after having reinstalled my Ubuntu 20.04 session several times with this problem each time when starting a Fish shell session. Everything is in order if I disable the Fast start-up mode of Win10 ... Hoping to help. |

i use wsl2 and fish-shell too, ever it worked well, studently someday the same issue occurred, after i reboot my pc, it works fine now. That's strange. |

When I install WSL, I set up Fish as my default shell, and then install a couple of plugins.
Once I converted an existing WSL instance to WSL2, that became unusable.
