Description
I think I have 2 problems getting the virtualisation to work on WSL 2.
-
When I run
$gnome-boxesit outputs the following as though my main user account doesn't have the correct write permissions or something? -
When I do open GnomeBoxes it says it can't access virtualization for some reason. Do I need to run some sort of command inside WSL in order to enable virtualisation?
Thank you very much
