[WIP] Skyplane problems in WSL2 For Windows Users

Open HaileyJang opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

This is an ongoing and work in progress list of potential problems of WSL2 that I faced when using Skyplane or Skyplane-related problems.

  • Problem with some scripts. I wasn't able to run some scripts due to Unix formatting reasons. The solution is in the following link: https://askubuntu.com/questions/966488/how-do-i-fix-r-command-not-found-errors-running-bash-scripts-in-wsl
  • Problem with AzCopy authentication. This is an ongoing problem with WSL and AzCopy. The workaround is in the following link: https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-azcopy/issues/1734. Similar to the previous one, another WSL problem happens when trying to log into AzCopy. It seems to be happening with dependencies. The problem and solution is listed here: https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-azcopy/issues/172
  • Error when attempting to download GLPK. Downloading GLPK for windows is more involved. The fix to potential errors are in the following link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63978651/install-glpk-error-while-building-a-wheel-for-glpk-pep-517-none-of-ways-wo

Thanks for starting this thread @HaileyJang!

  1. Can you list/link the skyplane scripts that failed? That way we can ensure we have coverage of all issues, and avoid duplicates if any.
  2. Good to document if this is WSL2 or WSL1.

@HaileyJang It would be good to add a WSL2 section to the FAQ and paste this content in. Can you send a PR to do that and close this issue?
