GitExercises WriteUp

This is a write-up of the GitExercises upto level "fixed-old-typo".

Problem Statement

The first exercise is to push a commit that is created when you run the git start command.

Just try git verify after you have initialized the exercises and be proud of passing the first one :-)

Overview

Internet connection and DNS routing are broken from WSL2 instances, when some VPNs are active.

The root cause seems to be that WSL2 and the VPN use the same IP address block, and the VPN routing clobbers WSL2's network routing.

This problem is tracked in multiple microsoft/WSL issues including, but not limited to:

Notes on configuring ArchWSL on WSL2.

Basic setup

Edit %UserProfile%\.wslconfig:

[wsl2]
swap=0
localhostForwarding=true

My local Ubuntu 20.04 WSL2 setup.

Enable and Install WSL2

From Windows, as admin:

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart

Enable `systemd` in WSL 2

**NOTE: If you have Windows 11 there is now an official way to do this in WSL 2, use it if possible - see MS post here (WINDOWS 11 ONLY)**

This guide will enable systemd to run as normal under WSL 2. This will enable services like microk8s, docker and many more to just work during a WSL session. Note: this was tested on Windows 10 Build 2004, running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS in WSL 2.

To enable systemd under WSL we require a tool called systemd-genie
Copy the contents of install-sg.sh to a new file /tmp/install-sg.sh:

	#Requires -RunAsAdministrator
	# Unlock-PowerCfg - v22.05.11

	# Disable "Connected Standby"
	Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power' -Name 'CSEnabled' -Value 0 -Force

	# Get Power Settings entries and add/set 'Attributes' to 2 to unhide
	$PowerCfg = (Get-ChildItem 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings' -Recurse).Name -notmatch '\bDefaultPowerSchemeValues\|(\\[0-9]\|\b255)$'
	foreach ($item in $PowerCfg) { Set-ItemProperty -Path $item.Replace('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE','HKLM:') -Name 'Attributes' -Value 2 -Force }

	#!/usr/bin/env bash
	set -e
