Floppy disk issues with WSL2 #2
Comments
|
Turns out I had more than one WSL distribution installed as shown below and the fact that To fix script not detecting the correct WSL distroTo fix this I updated the script to first find the registry path for the current distro and then query the BasePath for the distro GUID using the newly found registry path 😄 Update line 1-5 as follows: #!/bin/bash
# Get the Windows registry path for the current WSL distro
wsl_distro_regpath=$(reg.exe query "HKCU\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Lxss" /s /f DistributionName 2>&1 | sed -e 's|\r||g' | grep -B1 -e "$WSL_DISTRO_NAME$" | head -n1)
# Get path for WSL storage
wslroot=$(wslpath $(reg.exe query $wsl_distro_regpath /s /v BasePath | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "[ \t]+" } ; /BasePath/{print $4}' | tr -d "[:cntrl:]"))To fix WSL2 issue where rootfs is not a vailid pathComment out the if-clause for the floopy-disk check so it becomes: # Packer tries to create floppy in the linux /tmp folder which is not representable in Windows. Replace it with direct storage path
#if [[ $argument == /tmp/* ]]; then
#argument="$wslroot/rootfs$argument"
#fiIssue showing multiple WSL distros: Full bash script after edits:#!/bin/bash
# Get the Windows registry path for the current WSL distro
wsl_distro_regpath=$(reg.exe query "HKCU\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Lxss" /s /f DistributionName 2>&1 | sed -e 's|\r||g' | grep -B1 -e "$WSL_DISTRO_NAME$" | head -n1)

wslroot=$(wslpath $(reg.exe query $wsl_distro_regpath /s /v BasePath | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "[ \t]+" } ; /BasePath/{print $4}' | tr -d "[:cntrl:]"))
# Initialize defaults
is_next_path=0
args=()
for argument; do
# If the current argument is --medium expect path of the medium in next argument
if [ "$argument" == 'none' ]; then

# /[A-Za-z]:\\.*$/ # Find lines that end with Windows paths
# { # For each line
# h; # Copy to hold storage
# s/(.*)([A-Za-z]:\\.*)$/\2/; #Remove everything except the path
# s/(.+)/wslpath "\1"/e; #Convert the path to WSL path
# H; # Append to the hold storage
# x; # Swap pattern storage with hold storage
# # Pattern storage have 2 lines now:
# # SAMPLE C:\Windows\Temp
# /mnt/c/Windows/Temp
# s/(([A-Za-z]:\\.*)\n(.+))/\3/ # Replace Windows path in the first line with the WSL path in the second line
# This is how the path for the floppy-disk looks like to VirtualBox:

Hello, I'm using this and seeing floppy disk is failing to attach with WSL2.
