How to fix 0x8027025a error when installing Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on WSL?

rated 0 times [ 6] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 13898 / 1 Year ago, thu, march 16, 2023, 1:55:45

The following fail message appeared when I tried installing Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on WSL. I'm not able to type anything, therefore, I'm not able to finish the set up.

Those are the outputs I'm getting from "wsl -l -o" and "wsl -l -v" commands.

This is the Ubuntu-22.04 running after the failed installation.

How can I fix it?

My answer is the same as Option 2 from @NotTheDr01ds, but eliminates the need to uninstall and reinstall the failed Ubuntu. Much thanks to him, as I wouldn't have come up with this answer without insight gleaned from his answer.

Instead of uninstalling and re-installing, go to Settings > Apps > Ubuntu 22.04 LTS > Advanced Options > Reset. This seems to take you to the same state as the Ubuntu download being installed from the Microsoft Store but before it is unpacked.

wsl --set-default-version 1

The operation completed successfully.

Now start Ubuntu by clicking on the desktop or start menu icon to successfully start Ubuntu with WSL 1.

Exit the Ubuntu shell, then wsl --shutdown

wsl -l -v

  NAME            STATE           VERSION

* Ubuntu-22.04    Stopped         1

wsl --set-version Ubuntu-22.04 2

Conversion in progress, this may take a few minutes...

Conversion complete.

wsl --set-default-version 2

For information on key differences with WSL 2 please visit https://aka.ms/wsl2

The operation completed successfully.

wsl -l -v

  NAME            STATE           VERSION

* Ubuntu-22.04    Stopped         2

Start Ubuntu again and verify that it still works, now under WSL 2.
