I have enabled WSL on my Windows Version 10.0.19043.1889, installed Ubuntu Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. After installation, WSL was set on version 1:
wls -l -v NAME STATE VERSION* Ubuntu-22.04 Running 1Then, I converted the Ubuntu to WSL version 2:
wsl --set-default-version 2wsl --shutdownwsl --set-version Ubuntu-22.04 2After conversion to version 2, the Ubuntu 22.04 App does not render the character properly:
gstef@AHERDSKGSTEF01:~$ ls''$'\001\020''3@pu'$'\001''@8'$'\r''@'$'\036\035\006\004''@@@�'$'\002''�'$'\002\b\003\004\030\003\030\003\030\003\034\034\001\001\004''�'$'\037''�'$'\037\020\001\005'Ubuntu 22.04 App terminal output for ls command at home directory
Not the ls command is executed at home directory ~. If execute ls on a Windows drive /mnt/c/ then character rendering is correct:
gstef@AHERDSKGSTEF01:/mnt/c$ lsls: cannot access 'DumpStack.log.tmp': Permission deniedls: cannot access 'hiberfil.sys': Permission deniedls: cannot access 'pagefile.sys': Permission deniedls: cannot access 'swapfile.sys': Permission denied'$GetCurrent' DumpStack.log.tmp 'Program Files' SWSetup WINDOWS'$RECYCLE.BIN' Intel 'Program Files (x86)' SYSTAG.BIN bootTel.datUbuntu 22.04 App terminal output for ls command at windows C: drive
I am somewhat sure that with Ubuntu 22.04 and WSL version 1, then rendering of the characters was correct.
Note that my Windows language is set to Japanese, but locale is default English, if I understand it correctly
gstef@AHERDSKGSTEF01:~$ localeLANG=C.UTF-8LANGUAGE=LC_CTYPE="C.UTF-8"LC_NUMERIC="C.UTF-8"LC_TIME="C.UTF-8"LC_COLLATE="C.UTF-8"LC_MONETARY="C.UTF-8"LC_MESSAGES="C.UTF-8"LC_PAPER="C.UTF-8"LC_NAME="C.UTF-8"LC_ADDRESS="C.UTF-8"LC_TELEPHONE="C.UTF-8"LC_MEASUREMENT="C.UTF-8"LC_IDENTIFICATION="C.UTF-8"LC_ALL=Anybody an idea, if the wrong character rendering is related to conversion to WSL 2 or if is a matter of locale settings?
Thanks in advance for any help.
