wslg stopped working after recent changes.

Hi @Locietta

Recent updates to the kernel have broken wslg support. Opening gedit on my instance leads to the terminal hanging. I've collated journalctl logs for the same which points to xWayland crashing.

Issue does not persist in the microsoft-standard kernel.

gedit works for me though, what distro are you currently on?

Ubuntu 24.10

This issues occurs when systemd is enabled in /etc/wsl.conf. Disabling systemd fixes the issue. This isn't the case however in the stock kernel.

A systemd related change was here:

• Commit 9bcd70d

Do you use custom Kernel CMD line kernelCommandLine ?

.

debugConsole=true boolean false Boolean to turn on an output console Window that shows the contents of dmesg upon start of a WSL 2 distro instance

I'm building the kernel with the change reverted. Will post an update if it fixes the issue

Reverting 9bcd70d seems to have resolved the issue.

I can't reproduce the problem unless I use wslg from a headless environment like ssh, but it happens with the official kernel too.

Not reproducible in 6.11.9-locietta-WSL2-xanmod1 neither 6.6.62-locietta-WSL2-xanmod1.1

[taalojarvi]

Strange. Issue is still reproducible on my side. Please check if systemd is enabled is wsl.conf. Issue is not reproducible if systemd is disabled.

I checked again on build - 6.11.10-locietta-WSL2-xanmod with systemd enabled. Still doesn't work on my side.

I reverted 9bcd70d and built this image - systemd is still enabled, GUI apps work perfectly fine.

I'm testing this on Ubuntu oracular 24.10 x86_64 by launching the 'gedit' and 'meld' app.
