Description

I tried to register an Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and I get errors when I try to start it.

Steps:

  • Add new distribution
  • Select distro source: Docker Hub
  • Docker image: ubuntu:24.04
  • Register distro
  • wsl -d Ubuntu-2404docker

And I get this:

Tried to register Ubuntu 21.10 both via "Supported distro list" and via ubuntu:21.10 - works fine.

P.S. Also tried to register ubuntu:20.04, ubuntu:22.04, ubuntu:23.10 - same error. So, I guess it's not specific to a version but easyWSL has to support a particular distro in some way?
