Instead of using sudo systemctl start docker use: sudo /etc/init.d/docker start , as of right now we do not have systemd in WSL 2.

The same is not working when trying to start mongodb service.

@imdpkmr are you trying to use systemctl? Please try using the mongo equivalent of the command I put above, or sudo service mongod start , does that fix your issue?

I have also faced the same issue when I'm using the systemctl command for starting the puppet service.

Instead of that, I had used the service puppet start command on ubuntu and it just worked fine for me. I hope someone gets help from this.

@ZhengxunWu Try the command sudo service postgresql start for starting the postgresql service instead of sudo systemctl start postgresql

Some services like docker (standalone, ubuntu version, installed using bash) still might not run even if you use sudo /etc/init.d/docker start or sudo service docker start or /etc/init.d/docker start.

What you have to do is, run the linux subsystem as administrator by right clicking from start menu.
This will solve the issue and sudo service command will execute as it should, as a sudo user.

May I ask is there suggested command for systemctl enable equivalent?

[ragvri]

Also one for sudo systemctl daemon-reload?

Can not start service of firewalld (WSL Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS)

$ sudo service firewalld start
 * Starting dynamic firewall daemon firewalld                       [ OK ]

$ sudo service firewalld status
 * firewalld is not running

there's no error, but it seems there should be...

---

$ sudo firewall-cmd --list-ports
FirewallD is not running

$ sudo irewall-cmd --list-services
FirewallD is not running

it works for me, run subsystem as administrator, and use 'sudo /etc/init.d/docker start'.

I can't upgrade InfluxDB because part of the script in apt-get install influxdb results in an error determining the current runlevel. There are also a lot of other packages that just wont run.

I'm going back to Hyper-V for the time being until you all get it worked out, ok?
