Systemctl not active

[h00jraq]

Hi,

I've did everything from the instructions but I still get the below error.
As You can see, I sing as root but it does not change anything.

root@9BG9HG3:/home/fdrzewiecki# uname -a

root@9BG9HG3:/home/fdrzewiecki# systemctl is-active dbus

Not sure What I'm doing wrong here...

Same issue here

[psych0nokoi]

any glory?

VIPW:

root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
rootwsl:x:0:0:root:/root:/usr/local/bin/wsl2hack

@h00jraq @leepc12 , the line of rootwsl must be the first line.

Had the same issue @g2proko correction worked. The author should update the guide to reflect this as I could see others having these issues especially if new to wsl/linux.
