Description
Please use the following bug reporting template to help produce issues which are actionable and reproducible, including all command-line steps necessary to induce the failure condition. Please fill out all the fields! Issues with missing or incomplete issue templates will be closed.
If this is a console issue (a problem with layout, rendering, colors, etc.), please post to the console issue tracker.
Important: Do not open GitHub issues for Windows crashes (BSODs) or security issues. Please direct all Windows crashes and security issues to secure@microsoft.com. Ideally, please configure your machine to capture minidumps, repro the issue, and send the minidump from "C:\Windows\minidump".\
See our contributing instructions for assistance.
Please fill out the below information:
-
Your Windows build number: (Type
verat a Windows Command Prompt)
10.0.19013.1
wsl2 with ubuntu 18.04 -
What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy&paste the full set of specific command-line steps necessary to reproduce the behavior, and their output. Include screen shots if that helps demonstrate the problem.)
- in explorer, mapping a network driver with path \wsl$\Ubuntu-18.04 succeeded,
- in console, "dir \wsl$\Ubuntu-18.04\home" can display directory correctly.
- in explorer mapping a network driver with path \wsl$\Ubuntu-18.04\home failed, with error windows can not access \wsl$\Ubuntu-18.04\home
-
What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
mapping \wsl$\Ubuntu-18.04\home a network driver should succeed -
Strace of the failing command, if applicable: (If
some_commandis failing, then runstrace -o some_command.strace -f some_command some_args, and link the contents ofsome_command.stracein a gist here). -
For WSL launch issues, please collect detailed logs.
