After the "export-import" operation, my default login user for WSL changed to root.
Normally, as a virtual environment, it shouldn't bother me at all. However, my Python packages are installed under a normal user account, which was the default login user.
I tried to find the /etc/wsl.conf file but failed, so I decided to do a small trick to save time.
Append following code to /root/.bashrc.
PP_NAME=`ps -p $PPID -o comm=`
#echo "PP_NAME: $PP_NAME"
if [ "$PP_NAME" == "init" ]
then
su <YOUR_USERNAME>
exit
fi
But it only works when we start wsl from cmd. VSCode's wsl will still start with root user.
Thus, we still need to use the /etc/wsl.conf .
If there is no /etc/wsl.conf, then create it. And fill the file with:
[user]
default=username
If you are using WSL 1, just close all your WSL instances. And restart WSL.
If you are using WSL 2, you need to use 'wsl --shutdown' command to stop your WSL2 VM first, then restart your WSL.
