Description

Evan Benn (EvanTheB)
opened on May 24, 2024

Windows Version

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22631.3593]

WSL Version

WSL version: 2.1.5.0

Are you using WSL 1 or WSL 2?

  • WSL 2
  • WSL 1

Kernel Version

Kernel version: 5.15.146.1-2

Distro Version

Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS

Other Software

Docker desktop (but issue was occuring before this was installed).
VS code with wsl connection.

Repro Steps

Use WSL for a few hours / days, then try to open a new terminal.

Expected Behavior

A new terminal opens.

Actual Behavior

The terminal hangs for a while, then prints:

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
Error code: Wsl/Service/0x8007274c
Press any key to continue...

Other already open terminals continue to work fine. If you check the journalctl you see the error:

    Found this issue while having the same problem with no opening of WSL terminal impossible. Reason: Cause of Error code: Wsl/Service/0x8007274c

    Ein Verbindungsversuch ist fehlgeschlagen, da die Gegenstelle nach einer bestimmten Zeitspanne nicht richtig reagiert hat, oder die hergestellte Verbindung war fehlerhaft, da der verbundene Host nicht reagiert hat.
Fehlercode: Wsl/Service/0x8007274c

[Verarbeitung des Prozesses mit Code 4294967295 (0xffffffff) beendet]
Sie können dieses Terminal jetzt mit STRG+D schließen oder zum Neustart die EINGABETASTE drücken.
