在 Windows 11 (Ubuntu WSL) 上安装 Anbox

Question

I successfully installed Ubuntu WSL on Windows 11 using this guide without any issues. However, when I try to install Anbox following the steps on the official website , I keep getting errors like these:

error: cannot communicate with server: Post http://localhost/v2/snaps/anbox: dial unix /run/snapd.socket: connect: no such file or directory

and

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

Is there a step I need to do before I attempt to install Anbox on Ubuntu WSL?

PS: Please keep in mind that my technical background is extremely limited. Thanks.

You can use systemd-genie to run apps that require systemd. Type:

# This part adds the Microsoft repository to install dotnet-runtime, which you need for `systemd-genie`
wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/20.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
rm packages-microsoft-prod.deb
# This part installs the .NET runtime
sudo apt-get update; \
  sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https && \
  sudo apt-get update && \
  sudo apt-get install -y aspnetcore-runtime-6.0
# This part adds the transdebian repository, which contains systemd-genie
wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/wsl-transdebian.gpg https://arkane-systems.github.io/wsl-transdebian/apt/wsl-transdebian.gpg

chmod a+r /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/wsl-transdebian.gpg

cat << EOF > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wsl-transdebian.list
deb https://arkane-systems.github.io/wsl-transdebian/apt/ $(lsb_release -cs) main
deb-src https://arkane-systems.github.io/wsl-transdebian/apt/ $(lsb_release -cs) main

#This part installs systemd-genie
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y systemd-genie
# This part adds a script to `~/.profile` to automatically start genie every time you start up bash.
echo "# Are we in the bottle?
if [[ ! -v INSIDE_GENIE ]]; then
  read -t 3 -p 'yn? * Preparing to enter genie bottle (in 3s); abort? ' yn
  echo

  if [[ $yn != y ]]; then
    echo 'Starting genie:'
    exec /usr/bin/genie -s
  fi
fi
" >> ~/.profile
# Restart bash
exec bash
