closing the window or closing the session does not stop the ubuntu instance. It should shutdown the vm after 1 min.

Hi @arctic slate. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Based on the knowledge sources provided, I don't have enough specific information to directly address the issue of WSL2 not shutting down properly when using Warp on Windows. However, I can provide some relevant context and suggestions:

  1. Warp is still in beta for Windows and WSL2 support is still being developed. There are known issues and limitations with Warp on WSL2, as tracked in this GitHub issue: Linux Support (WSL2).

  2. The behavior you're describing, where the Ubuntu instance doesn't shut down as expected, may be related to how Warp interacts with WSL2. Some users have reported issues with Warp leaving "zombied" windows open or processes running after sleep or attempted closure, as mentioned in this GitHub issue: Windows 11, WSL2, Warp Terminal leaves zombied windows open when laptop sleeps.

  3. To potentially resolve the issue, you could try the following:

    • Ensure you have the latest version of Warp installed, as fixes are released regularly. You can check for updates at Warp's download page.
    • Review the Linux workarounds in Warp's documentation for potential solutions.
    • If the issue persists, you may need to manually terminate Warp processes using Windows PowerShell or Task Manager.
  4. It's recommended to report this specific issue on the GitHub issue tracker for Warp, preferably by commenting on or reacting to the existing WSL2 support issue mentioned earlier. This will help the developers gauge the impact and prioritize fixes.

Remember that Warp's support for WSL2 is still in development, and such issues are not uncommon in beta software. The Warp team is actively working on improving WSL2 compatibility.
