Hi @Samke. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

It seems like you're having trouble locating your Ubuntu installation in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). This could be due to a variety of reasons, but let's try to troubleshoot it step by step.
Firstly, ensure that you have correctly installed Ubuntu on your WSL. You can verify this by opening a new command prompt and typing
wsl -l -v. This command will list all the installed Linux distributions along with their state and version. If Ubuntu is listed there, it means it's installed correctly.
If Ubuntu is not listed, you might need to install it again. You can do this by following the instructions in the Wasp guide for Windows development with WSL (https://wasp-lang.dev/blog/2023/11/21/guide-windows-development-wasp-wsl).
If Ubuntu is listed but you're unable to locate the files, it's important to note that the Linux files in WSL are not stored in the same way as regular Windows files. They are stored in a virtual hard disk (VHD) and are not directly accessible from Windows Explorer. However, you can access them from the WSL terminal by typing wsl in the command prompt, which will open a new WSL terminal. From there, you can navigate to your Ubuntu files using Linux commands like cd and ls.
If you're still having trouble, it might be helpful to reach out to the Wasp community on Discord (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1212373984453075004) for more specific assistance.

The error message you're seeing suggests that the Virtual Machine Platform Windows feature is not enabled, or virtualization is not enabled in your BIOS.
Here are the steps to resolve this:
1. Enable Virtual Machine Platform Windows feature: You can do this by running the following command in PowerShell as Administrator:
2. Enable virtualization in BIOS: This step is hardware-specific and depends on your computer's manufacturer. You'll need to restart your computer, enter the BIOS setup (usually by pressing a specific key like F2, F10, or Del during startup), and then enable the virtualization technology. You can refer to your computer's manual or the manufacturer's website for specific instructions.
3. Set WSL version to 2: After enabling the Virtual Machine Platform, you should also ensure that the WSL version is set to 2. You can do this by running the following command in PowerShell:
4. Reinstall Ubuntu: If the above steps are successful, try reinstalling Ubuntu in WSL by running
wsl --install -d Ubuntu in PowerShell.
If you're still encountering issues, you might find it helpful to refer to the official Microsoft documentation on WSL installation (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10) for more detailed instructions.

----------------------@Boris if you have some time to check this out, I'm not really expert on Wasp + Windows, but you might know what to do!
The Network location in Windows 10 might be different, so you might have to do the process in Powershell/Ubuntu WSL shell without using the Win Explorer.
With Windows 10, you might have some issues with WSL version and other VM features, meaning that our guide isn't the best fit for you on older Windows. I suggest following this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual#step-1---enable-the-windows-subsystem-for-linux until you boot your WSL 2 environment.
If you want a hassle-free WSL2 experience, you do need Windows 11.
Manual installation steps for older versions of WSL
Step by step instructions to manually install WSL on older versions of Windows, rather than using the wsl install command.
Thank you very much for your help, Ill try it out and report back if it worked or not
Hey @Samke, any luck with this?
Im haveing a few problems with following the support page
Wohooo @Samke, you just became a Waspeteer level 1!
I did enable virtual something in my BIOS and after that i think i tried to update my windows for something to work
But windows didnt want to update, the i tried fixing that and well idk
Haha, oh those windows updates
I don't know how to help you at that front unfortunately 😅
I´ll try again and give you a update
hmmm I am not sure how much I can help you either. Is there anything creating issue for you to go to Win 11? AFAIK all Win 10 supported devices run Win 11 now
