Failed to connect to bus: Host is down - WSL 2

wsl.md

» sudo systemctl daemon-reload

System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate. Failed to connect to bus: Host is down

==============================================

Edit*

1. Open /etc/wsl.conf with any editor:

sudo nano /etc/wsl.conf

2. Add the following contents and save them

[boot] systemd=true

3. Close the Linux window
4. Execute the following command in PowerShell

wsl --shutdown

wsl

5. Problem Solving

==============================================

just try:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -yqq daemonize dbus-user-session fontconfig

sudo daemonize /usr/bin/unshare --fork --pid --mount-proc /lib/systemd/systemd --system-unit=basic.target

exec sudo nsenter -t $(pidof systemd) -a su - $LOGNAME

snap version

The $LOGNAME meaning is the same as whoami command, assigning a value to $LOGNAME if its not existing

it didn't work even with wsl 2

It worked, thanks!

please note that on step 2, you need to write on a DIFFERENT line the systemd=true (and not on the same line than the [boot] part)

Thanks!
