Request to be able to install wslu v4.1.1-1 about wslu

[patrick330602]

Sorry for the late reply, I am out of town for holidays. Could you provide which WSL distribution are you using? In this way I can compile one for you.

Also can you provide the result for wslview --debug <url>? Thanks!

C:\Users\Justin>wsl -l -v
  NAME               STATE           VERSION
* OracleLinux_8_5    Running         1

NB. The whole team is on Version 1

re wslview --debug , it works just fine for me as I am on wslu v4.1.1-1....

[jmonk@JMONK-D3ZG2T3 ~]$ wslview --version
wslu v4.1.1-1

However, it doesn't work for those on wslu v4.1.2, hence the request. I will need to wait until tomorrow to get the output of one of the team where this is not working.

@jmonk73 Hi, did you obtain the output?

[jmonk73]

@patrick330602 Apologies, yes I did.

They all get the following output & error....

[jignacio@JIGNACIO-US ~]$ wslview --version
[error] You should use Bash 5 and higher; exiting.
[jignacio@JIGNACIO-US ~]$ wslview --debug https://www.google.com/
[debug:/usr/bin/wslview] Showing debug output.
[error] You should use Bash 5 and higher; exiting.

We even tried updating this team member to Bash 5 and he still gets the exact same output as above.

[jignacio@JIGNACIO-US ~]$ bash --version

FYI , my bash version is...

[jmonk@JMONK-D3ZG2T3 ~]$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.4.20(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)

... and works without issue with wslu v4.1.1-1

[patrick330602]

I believe I know the issue. I will try to release an emergency release tonight.

[jmonk73]

Ok thanks!
