The problem does not appear to occur on Ubuntu 20.04, even when fully updated, as the latest release there is 2.55.5.Īccording to the Launchpad bug, this surfaced when a separate bug was recently fixed. The version that comes with Ubuntu 22.04 on first install in WSL is currently 2.55, so snap works at first, out-of-the-box, then fails after the first sudo apt update & sudo apt upgrade. For me, this only appears to be an issue on Ubuntu 22.04 with Snap/Snapd version 2.57. A wsl -shutdown is also need to return your binfmt_misc to normal.Īs answer mentions, this does seem to be due to an intentional Snap change that was designed to "fail gracefully" on WSL. After updating, Snap/Snapd should work properly under the latest WSL/Systemd releases. (or target Snapd specifically as Edu mentions). Beat me to it, but also updating this answer to note that this is fixed in the latest Snapd: sudo apt update & sudo apt upgrade -y
