nerdctl /mnt/c/windows/system32/wsl.exe: Invalid argument

[tanyeun]

Actual Behavior

I have Rancher Desktop exposed to WSL

I ran into this issue sometimes:

Steps to Reproduce

1. Boot in to Windows
2. Open WSL terminal
3. Open Rancher Desktop

When I run into this issue.
I need to manually shutdown wsl and rancher desktop.
Usually restart once and it will work.

Result

nerdctl command does not work in WSL environment (sometimes)

Expected Behavior

nerdctl command should be able to work in WSL environment

Additional Information

OS Version: Windows 10 Enterprise
Version 21H2

Not sure if this "rancher-desktop-data" stopped has anything to do with this issue:

I tried to manually start via this command:

wsl -d rancher-desktop-data
but it was running forever

@tanyeun , I couldn't reproduce the issue with below steps. Do you do something different from below steps?

• Launch Rancher Desktop using the Desktop shortcut
• Open a WSL terminal
• Run nerdctl commands

it's a stability issue. It doesn't happen everytime.

This is probably an issue with WSL 2
