System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate. Failed to connect to bus: Host is down

==============================================

Edit*

1. Open /etc/wsl.conf with any editor:

sudo nano /etc/wsl.conf

2. Add the following contents and save them

[boot] systemd=true

3. Close the Linux window
4. Execute the following command in PowerShell

wsl --shutdown

wsl

5. Problem Solving

==============================================

just try:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -yqq daemonize dbus-user-session fontconfig

sudo daemonize /usr/bin/unshare --fork --pid --mount-proc /lib/systemd/systemd --system-unit=basic.target

exec sudo nsenter -t $(pidof systemd) -a su - $LOGNAME

snap version

it didn't work even with wsl 2

Works like a charm. I appreciate you! DJ Khaled's voice Now back to trying to figure out how to enable bridge mode between Host + WSL2 + QEMU macOS VM. 🤓
