GWSL escaping underscore in DistributionName

Open felipe257 opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

I have installed Rocky 8 RC Unofficial through Microsoft Store and it names the distro in wsl as "Rocky_8_RC_Unofficial".

I then installed GWSL and it would consider "Rock8RCUnofficial" as the DistributionName instead, which results in GWSL not working at all. A workaround I've found is to change the DistributionName manually in the Registry Editor from "Rocky_8_RC_Unofficial" to "Rock8RCUnofficial".

I understand GWSL should not be escaping "_" for DistributionName, thus I'm reporting it as an issue.
