[Bug] Unable to set FISH Shell as default shell [Fedora Remix for WSL (SystemD)]

[Soromeister]

Note

These WSL error messages occur from time to time and can tricky to troubleshoot short of reinstalling WSL.

They are usually not an issue with WLinux itself but a glitch with the underlying Windows Subsystem for Linux in Windows 10.

You can help us help you and Microsoft improve WSL and address these if you can provide us some debugging information.

[ ] I have read the above statement.

Basic Troubleshooting

Please check:

[x] I have confirmed WSL is enabled: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/troubleshooting#confirm-wsl-is-enabled. [x] I have searched Google for the error message. [x] I have searched the official Microsoft WSL issues page: https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues. [x] I have searched the WLinux issues page: https://github.com/WhitewaterFoundry/WLinux/issues. [ ] I have reset WLinux: Settings->Apps->Apps & features->WLinux->Advanced Options->Reset. [ ] I have disabled and re-enabled WSL in Windows Features. [x] I have run Windows 10 updates and restarted.

What other troubleshooting have you attempted to date?

Step 1: Install fish shell and util-linux-user Step 2: Set fish as default shell with chsh -s $(which fish) Step 3: Open a new tab with the profile Fedora Remix for WSL (SystemD) Step 4: Stare at the error message
