WSL2: WSL_INTEROP within Gentoo - ERROR: UtilConnectToInteropServer:300: connect failed 2

[JvD007]

After running startprefix the following env information is gone and the interoperability with Windows 10 is lost.

You can't run Windows applications anymore from the Linux env

• Default PATH is not longer available
• WSL_INTEROP is not available

Is it possible to add this env settings in the gentoo environment

Workaround:

export PATH="old-path:${PATH}"
export WSL_INTEROP=/run/WSL/XXXX_interop (Check with pstree -p the console port XXXX)

Windows 10 commands / applications are working again.

Can we fix this within the startprefix?

Workaround for this problem:

Update your .profile, not the best solution...it works for now.

.profile

if [[ ${SHELL#/cvmfs/pilot.eessi-hpc.org/test/gentoo/2020} != ${SHELL} ]]
then
echo "=============================================================================="
echo " lmod, modules, WSL Interop "
echo "=============================================================================="
source $HOME/.wsl_interop
source $HOME/.win_path
source /cvmfs/pilot.eessi-hpc.org/test/gentoo/2020/usr/lmod/lmod/init/profile
module use /cvmfs/pilot.eessi-hpc.org/test/easybuild/modules/all
module avail
export PATH=$WIN_PATH:$PATH
else
echo "=============================================================================="
echo " EESSI Client mounts Repository "
echo "=============================================================================="
echo WSL_INTEROP=$WSL_INTEROP >$HOME/.wsl_interop
echo WIN_PATH="'$PATH'" >$HOME/.win_path
