iiab working on WSL 0.67.6 [works better on WSL 1.0.0] #3377

turingtrust · 2022-09-23T14:15:49Z

Microsoft recently added Systemd support to Windows Subsystem for Linux:
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/systemd-support-is-now-available-in-wsl/

I have successfully installed iiab in WSL with systemd enabled on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on a Windows 11 host.

The install failed when trying to get the plocate package, but I fixed it by editing /opt/iiab/iiab/roles/2-common/tasks/packages.yaml and renaming plocate to mlocate, the install then succeeded.

I can now access the iiab webpage from the host with the url: localhost/ or the ip of the wsl virtual ethernet adapter.

Could other people test this please? I have only tried this with the minimal install option.

This is my first time writing an issue on github so forgive me if the formatting is incorrect.

Hi @turingtrust, thanks for the report!

Can you run sudo iiab-diagnostics ?

After you've run that, it should generate a sprunge.us URL.

Please post that URL here if possible, Thank You.
Please very strongly consider Ubuntu 22.04 instead of 20.04 if at all possible?

So that you're on a path for much better IIAB support in coming years. In this example, Ubuntu 20.04 makes certain assumptions from the 2019 era. To keep focused, we do now need to start looking to the future e.g. OS's like Debian 11 Bullseye, Raspberry Pi OS "Bullseye", Mint 21, Ubuntu 22.04.1

I switched to 20.04 because apt upgrade was breaking when running the iiab setup. Upgrading fully before enabling systemd support might fix that though.

Share details or screenshots if at all possible? Many Thanks !

( Ubuntu 22.04 should be very solid now, more than 5 months after its release. With Moodle support coming in just over a month from now, should you later need that. Sugarizer requires a manual install of MongoDB for now, should you need that for younger children. We hope that is cleanly automated well before end of year.

It turns out I wasn't actually running 22.04 for the first attempt. the error I got during apt upgrade can be fixed by upgrading before enabling systemd support.

I've just tried with 22.04 now and get this error:

holta · 2022-09-23T15:31:15Z

Strange!

Thanks @turingtrust can you re-run sudo iiab (repeatedly if nec) to confirm the Unable to start service ssh error is repeatable?

If so, can you post the sprunge.us URL output from iiab-diagnostics and any other relevant diagnostics? Specifically, what is the output from...?

sudo systemctl status ssh

sudo systemctl status ssh

running iiab repeatedly doesn't change anything.

[edit] I think I fixed it by running ssh-keygen -A

turingtrust · 2022-09-23T17:46:57Z

The install worked after generating ssh keys.

Any idea why this was necessary?

Any chance Microsoft's WSL VM (0.67.6) is still teething/converging ?

I just tried the solution from here: https://www.garron.me/en/linux/sshd-no-hostkeys-available-exiting.html

The admin console is broken now:

It worked fine on 20.04

@turingtrust I assume that sudo systemctl status iiab-cmdsrv and sudo systemctl restart iiab-cmdsrv don't quite solve this?

@tim-moody are you perhaps able to reproduce this Admin Console problem on Windows 11 + very latest systemd-enabled WSL (i.e. Ubuntu 22.04) if you have time this weekend?

I do not have access to Windows 11 unfortunately. (Any chance it's a WSL teething issue with its brand new systemd release?)

Seems like WSL teething pain, along with the need to generating ssh keys, is this instance is a clone of another configured VM by any chance?

turingtrust · 2022-09-27T13:39:43Z

It might be best to leave this until microsoft moves systemd support out of beta.

I also tried debian which didn't work.

Note: if you want to test this, you should be able to install windows 11 on any machine that supports windows 10.

If you make a bootable usb with the windows 11 iso using Rufus it will give you the option to bypass the TPM requirement:

I suggest that 'network_enable: False' be added to local_vars.yml to avoid networking additions that wsl doesn't support.
