System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1)


I have Ubuntu 20.4 in Windows ( WSL2 ), when in reloading any service I'm getting below error

Error: 

failed to connect to bus: host is down

failed to connect to bus: host is down wsl2

System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate. Failed to connect to bus: Host is down

Solution :

1 – Update the system

sudo apt-get update

2 – Install below package

sudo apt-get install -yqq daemonize dbus-user-session fontconfig

3 – execute below command to fix the issue

sudo daemonize /usr/bin/unshare --fork --pid --mount-proc /lib/systemd/systemd --system-unit=basic.target

exec sudo nsenter -t $(pidof systemd) -a su - $LOGNAME

4 – check the version

snap version

Enjoy!

Now we can restarted the system service without error,

  1. I ran all the commands as suggested. But it did not fix the problem. For me snap version returns the following:
    snap 2.44.3+20.04
    snapd unavailable
    series 16
    Windows Subsystem for Linux -
    kernel 4.4.0-19041-Microsoft (amd64)

    Any help to resolve the issue will be greatly appreciated.

  2. I have followed and executed every single command above, but system still can't reboot.
    mmm@DESKTOP-8BG3OFE:~$ sudo reboot
    [sudo] password for mmm:
    System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
    Failed to connect to bus: Host is down
    Failed to talk to init daemon.
    mmm@DESKTOP-8BG3OFE:~$

    any other missing commands?
    Thx
