I have tried completely uninstalling Docker Desktop, removing all traces of files left behind, and reinstalling.

my win10 updates are up-to-date.

same error.

this all worked fine yesterday.

[Spongman]

ok, i found the 'cause'. i had the following in my %USERPROFILE%\.wslconfig :

[wsl2]
gpuSupport = false

which causes the /usr/lib/wsl directory to not exist in the docker-desktop wsl instance.

I have had this setting in my .wslconfig file for years now, and it has never been an issue before.

this is a REGRESSION in Docker Desktop: it has never required gpuSupport to be enabled until whatever recent upgrade broke this.

please fix this, and add this setting to your test matrix.

Quick fix.

wsl -d docker-desktop mkdir /usr/lib/wsl

[niemyjski]

This didn't solve the issue for me.

[danilomo]

"wsl -d docker-desktop mkdir /usr/lib/wsl"

Worked for me too!

I also have this entry in my config file:

"gpuSupport = false"

which I had to put there because WSL was making my computer very slow and this config was fix at that time.

4.34.0 has been released with a fix for this issue, more information o the release notes.

I'll be closing this issue, but if the problem persists please open a fresh issue!
