#

The salad “storage” error and the distribution not installing are definitely a problem, are those issues new or has it always been that way with salad?

#

Also, I’m assuming you have virtual machine platform enabled in optional features?

Restarting Salad fixed it for me

#

same issue for me after installing the distro

#

no restart of salad nor pc helped

slim trout same issue for me after installing the distro

Did the distro install? Or did it give an error as well?

slim trout Jan 14, 2024, 1:31 PM

#

it is installed

#

#

checkmark on enviroment

#

Um… not necessarily… so far from what I’ve seen if it has the “calculating storage” error it didn’t actually get installed.

#

To check if it is installed you will need to go to cmd and type: WSL -l -v

#

.

Also make sure hypervisor launch type is set to auto in bcdedit…

To check type: bcdedit in command prompt (may need elevated), and it should be the last or close to the last entry.

is on auto

#

That’s good.
Does WSL -l -v in command prompt show any distributions installed?

#

The distribution I’m looking for should be along the lines of “salad-enterprise-linux”.

#

i am installing right now

#

used C:\WINDOWS\system32\wsl.exe --import salad-enterprise-linux "[INSERT FILEPATH]" "C:\Program Files\Salad\wsl\salad-enterprise-linux.tar.gz" --version 2

storm hound Jan 14, 2024, 3:51 PM

#

Ok, good that would have been the next thing I was going to have you try…

#

It should be this… just saw the “insert filepath” in the one you sent me.

C: \WINDOWS\system32\wsl.exe --import salad-enterprise-linux "C:\ProgramData\Salad\wsl"
"C:\Program Files\Salad\wsl\salad-enterprise-linux.tar.gz" --version 2

storm hound Jan 14, 2024, 3:58 PM

#

slim trout i am installing right now

Was it successful?

slim trout Jan 14, 2024, 3:58 PM

#

still in progress

#

oh whoops overread that part

storm hound Jan 14, 2024, 4:02 PM

#

slim trout used C:\WINDOWS\system32\wsl.exe --import salad-enterprise-linux "[INSERT FILEPA...

Yes, there likely will be an issue if you just ran this command as is… with the “insert filepath” line.

#

Hopefully, if you did, it doesn’t cause issues importing once corrected.

slim trout Jan 14, 2024, 7:15 PM

#

it takes me to this directory

#

#

i resarted but still

#

C:\WINDOWS\system32\wsl.exe --import salad-enterprise-linux "C:\ProgramData\Salad\wsl" "C:\Program Files\Salad\wsl\salad-enterprise-linux.tar.gz" --version 2 this one works

#

i deleted the ext4.vhdx file and run the command again and it's installing
C:\ProgramData\Salad\wsl

#

chop power 3/4 upvote

storm hound Jan 14, 2024, 8:15 PM

#

Sounds good!

#

@shy gale
The steps that @slim trout took deleting the ext4.vhdx file may work for you if you haven’t had success fixing yours as both showed the same error when importing the salad distribution.

shy gale Jan 14, 2024, 8:24 PM

#

ok let me try

#

no more error code !

#

LETS GO

slim trout Jan 14, 2024, 8:32 PM

#

hell yeah, can'T believe no one tried to delete it

#

put it in your books xD

storm hound Jan 14, 2024, 8:33 PM

#

Yes, thank you for that knowledge.

slim trout Jan 14, 2024, 8:33 PM

#

no problem if it helps, i love to contribute stuff

shy gale Jan 14, 2024, 8:33 PM

#

did not think it would make a diffrence after reinstalling windows but it did

#

weird

#

least its fixed

#

thank you

slim trout Jan 14, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

was pretty close to reinstall a fresh one

storm hound Jan 14, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

Awesome, glad that worked for both of you.

slim trout Jan 14, 2024, 8:35 PM

#

and i am pretty sure when i installed it the first time, i was not using --version 2

#

i came across v2 way later and never worked, now i know why

storm hound Jan 14, 2024, 8:39 PM

#

Salad is supposed to be able to update WSL and install(import) it’s distribution automatically itself… personally I haven’t had to install(import) it manually, though I usually have to update WSL manually then salad installs it’s distribution without any problems.

slim trout Jan 14, 2024, 10:25 PM

#

okay now it's getting ridicoulus, the c drive is in the clear but it wants me to set up the eviroment^^

slim trout Jan 14, 2024, 11:01 PM

#

oh okay i just left it be and it fixed itself

slim trout Jan 14, 2024, 11:39 PM

#

now i get this 2024-01-15 00:36:06.176 +01:00 [WRN] (C:\WINDOWS\system32\wsl.exe --terminate salad-enterprise-linux) exited unexpectedly "There is no distribution with the supplied name.

#

Is this just in the beginning of the salad log file?

slim trout Jan 14, 2024, 11:52 PM

#

it'S in ther not in the beginning it started t-rex miner for a while, then i assume i got a container and it could not process it, since then choping stopped entirely

#

funnny C:\ProgramData\Salad\wsl data i s gone

#

it's getting better and better

storm hound Jan 15, 2024, 12:00 AM

#

I’m aware of a few things that may be worth trying… though it seems you know a few things about WSL.

slim trout Jan 15, 2024, 12:00 AM

#

just tell me what u think

storm hound Jan 15, 2024, 12:03 AM

#

Well, I think to give it all the chances to work… I’m thinking basically uninstall everything WSL related (including salad)…

#

You will likely need to restart to turn off WSL…

slim trout Jan 15, 2024, 12:04 AM

#

i try one reinstall wsl one last time the i goo full clean

storm hound Jan 15, 2024, 12:04 AM

#

Then run the DISM restore health command…

#

Then the sfc scannow… and see if either or both find errors (and hopefully fix them).

#

When I say uninstall WSL it includes the WSL update and anything WSL related in programs and features (or settings - apps)

slim trout Jan 15, 2024, 12:08 AM

#

we will see, i mean i was using 7 upgraded then upgraded to 10 then swaped hardwar but kept win 10 then upgraded to win 11

storm hound Jan 15, 2024, 12:08 AM

#

Oh…

slim trout Jan 15, 2024, 12:08 AM

#

maybe it'S time for a clean install

storm hound Jan 15, 2024, 12:10 AM

#

That should for sure do it… assuming clean install (no programs or settings) brought from your current windows installation during setup.

slim trout Jan 15, 2024, 12:11 AM

#

yes all my programs i use regulary are not on c

#

so it'll be quick one

storm hound Jan 15, 2024, 12:11 AM

#

Yeah, that should do it.
