Salad keeps needing to restart

[near stirrup]

So i just got on Salad and enabled WSL and Salad keeps asking me to reboot my PC which I've done already like 5-6 times. I click "Reboot Now" and Salad can't reboot my PC apparently and I thus manually reboot it, only to come back to the same message

[loud rock]

Just reinstall salad and restart your pc

[near stirrup]

okay

i tried and its the same thing again

@loud rock 🥲

[loud rock]

Mine was fixed by that 💀

[loud rock]

Open file explorer and see if you have salad Linux in it.

[near stirrup]

[loud rock]

[loud rock]

[loud rock]

Check the BIOS guide

[near stirrup]

[loud rock]

Try searching for windows features in search bar and enable hyper V 5 and reboot

[near stirrup]

[loud rock]

Ya

There should be hyper v 5 and windows visualisation or sandbox

[near stirrup]

[loud rock]

Windows hypervisor and virtual mechine

[near stirrup]

[loud rock]

Yea just save it first

[loud rock]

Check on Microsoft store and search for Microsoft subsystem Linux

[near stirrup]

okay wait

yep installing

[loud rock]

And try asking for help in #community-support

That might fix it

[near stirrup]

okayy ty

okay its installed

[loud rock]

Click on that reboot pc button

[near stirrup]

yeahh it says salad failed to reboot and that i need to do it manually from my taskbar, and when i do that im back here.

[loud rock]

Did you tried reinstalling salad?

[near stirrup]

yeahh i did

[weary gorge]

When you turned on windows hypervisor and hyper-v did you turn on virtual machine platform as well?

On my computers when I install salad with all those features off it automatically just turns on windows subsystem for Linux and virtual machine platform.

You “shouldn’t” have to turn on hyper-v or windows hypervisor features but they shouldn’t cause any issues either.

Also might have a corrupt Windows file

[weary gorge]

I think we got it figured out… needed to update WSL for salad to work.

[soft merlin]

I had this issue

Make sure you don’t have Hyper V installed

[obtuse hill]

if I uninstall Hyper V and reinstall it will it worK?

[void arrow]

I have hyper V installed and works .

[soft merlin]

For me I had to keep Hyper V uninstalled

[soft merlin]

[soft merlin]

Oh wait disregard everything I said lmao

Run this in an admin command prompt

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype Auto

Then reboot

Make sure you have WSL installed from the MS store before doing this

[near stirrup]

@void arrow @loud rock @obtuse hill @weary gorge @soft merlin , i got it resolved tysmmm. I uninstalled wsl, re-installed it and then unregistered and installed Ubuntu in cmd, and when i rebooted my pc, the "salad-enterprise-linux" folder appeared under linux

and it now says that the container env thing is working
