Fluentterminal: WSL 2 support

Did anyone figure out how to get the Fluent Terminal working with WSL2 since ti changed from win folder structure to .vhdx ?

This solved my issue, thanks! Just to add more info, you have to write the exact distro name, in my case: \\wsl$\\Ubuntu-18.04\\home\\username

Looks like this issue should be reopened as this will work only for default distribution.

My case: I have set up two custom distributions using Ubuntu 20.04 standart distribution, export it and import with custom name. Currently I can't do something like:

wsl -d mydistro

Fluent terminal just gives no output at all.

It works with WSL2 for me....

@skipmeister123 then what I'm doing wrong?

I'm fairly certain your working directory should just be ~ (or maybe ~pztrn).

This is true for classy Linux, but if I specify ~ - WSL using /mnt/c/Users/pztrn which isn't what I want. Hint from @soniquete0 works, actually, but only for default distribution (when I'm launching WSL with just wsl.exe, without additional parameters).

My case is that Fluent Terminal is unable to launch WSL2 with custom-named distributions. I definitely have them:

PS C:\Users\pztrn> wsl --list --all -q
personal
work

Then I'm specifying command line like on my screenshot - as you can see, Fluent Terminal produces no output. This command works in PS/cmd, BTW.

Oh, duh... I see your problem. 馃槄
move "-d personal" to the arguments section.

馃槄oops, I'm so blind... Thanks :)

You're good!聽 Glad we could sort it out.
