After upgrading to v1.13.2, podman extension remains in Activating state and dashboard does not display podman status

[kenbarnettpt]

Bug description

After upgrading from Podman Desktop v1.12.x x64 on Windows 10 to Podman Desktop v.1.13.2 x64 and creating a podman machine, Podman Desktop's podman extension does not leave the Activating status.

Operating system

Windows 10

Installation Method

Installer from website/GitHub releases

Version

1.13.0

Steps to reproduce

(from working v1.12.x version)

From PowerShell

podman machine stop
podman machine rm
wsl --shutdown
wsl --unregister podman-machine-default

Uninstall Podman Desktop via control panel
Uninstall podman v4.x
Install podman v5.2.4 using https://github.com/containers/podman/releases/download/v5.2.4/podman-5.2.4-setup.exe installer
Install Podman Desktop v1.13.2 x64

From Powershell

podman machine init
podman machine set --rootful     ## For Kind (bug occurs with rootful=false as well)
podman machine start

Verify podman running state via podman info
Reboot

Launch Podman Desktop

• Note that dashboard does not show podman status
• In the Extensions menu, note that the podman extension is in the Activating state (and does not leave this state during a 60 minute period)
