clip.exe hangs when redirecting output into it. #5648

EricWardner · 2020-07-24T15:29:17Z

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.20175.1000
Your Distribution version: Ubuntu 18.04
WSL 2: Linux version 4.19.104-microsoft-standard (oe-user@oe-host) (gcc version 8.2.0 (GCC)) #1 SMP Wed Feb 19 06:37:35 UTC 2020

Steps to reproduce

echo "AAAA" | clip.exe

Expected behavior

AAAA get copied to my windows clipboard

Actual behavior

The command hangs and nothing is copied

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

therealkenc · 2020-07-24T16:04:24Z

Ref #4475 (with a side of #4852). Am able to reproduce here. Consensus work-around is use a better clip application.

[ed] Wild speculation maybe an IPC thing unique to 20175. Do you use clip.exe a lot (I do not), and if so was it working before you recently got the Windows Update?

EricWardner · 2020-07-24T16:37:46Z

I also do not use it often. Can't remember if it was working before the most recent update.

Biswa96 · 2020-07-24T16:48:13Z

dmesg? ETW? Any logs.

therealkenc · 2020-07-24T16:58:33Z

dmesg? ETW? Any logs.

Nah. Turns out it isn't limited to clip.exe. Also hangs on:

$ ls | findstr.exe foo

Which used to work (at least to the extent the scenario didn't hang).

EricWardner · 2020-07-24T17:33:49Z

Work-around I'm using is just to output to a file first and then read it in to clip.exe

echo "AAAA" > file.tmp
clip.exe < file.tmp

raisin-loaf · 2020-07-24T21:29:42Z

This is also the case with win32yank which is automatically detected by Neovim meaning it's not currently possible to yank to the system clipboard from Neovim in WSL 2.

echo 'please please me?' | win32yank.exe -i hangs as per previous comments. It's not a problem on another computer that's still on build 20170.

Happy to gather additional info if someone can point me in the right direction. 🙂

therealkenc · 2020-07-24T22:46:10Z

It's not a problem on another computer that's still on build 20170.

Those are the words I was looking for. Thanks.

This bug also breaks the git credentials manager trick to authenticate in git under WSL via the Windows credential manager (git config --global credential.helper "/mnt/c/Program\ Files/Git/mingw64/libexec/git-core/git-credential-manager.exe")

SR-Lut3t1um · 2020-07-28T14:46:32Z

This Bug also breaks Docker :/

Is this still not fix in build 2018?

I apologize everyone for my english!

After 10 unsuccessful attempts, I thought to do reinstall windows.
But at the very last moment I changed my mind ...

We completely remove the Docker use script via PoweShell
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42161471/how-to-uninstall-docker-machine-under-windows-10/51167323#51167323
Run the latest Docker installation, I took 2.3.4.0
When installing, DO NOT select support for WSL2
Docker is installed ... and a notification appears at startup, about the start of the WSL2 subsystem, I don't understand how, but the launch still occurs
Docker itself did not completely start for me
You need to get to the settings and run hard reset
He is started, but unfortunately past manipulations cleared it :/ Nevertheless, I have already launched my working project
P/s Because of something, I had to execute "docker-compose up" under sudo
Also check that the marks about integration with wsl 2 distributions have not gone off (Resources / Wsl integration)

maybe he's pretending ... that he works through wsl2 :)

metcalfc · 2020-07-30T21:26:15Z

Folks here for Docker issues. This WSL2 bug does effect Docker, it is not an issue with Docker. We are hopeful for a fix soon. Right now Windows 20175 and 20180 have this issue. You can disable the WSL2 backend in your Docker settings for now. You won't find docker in your WSL2 path anymore but you can work around this temporarily with:

alias docker=docker.exe

Docker on the Windows side (powershell, cmd, etc) will behave normally.

bsosnowski · 2020-08-05T21:53:21Z

Windows 20175 and 20180 have this issue

I have the same issue with 19041.423. I think it started with one of the updates.

therealkenc · 2020-08-05T22:24:34Z

I have the same issue with 19041.423.

The cause of this issue is known and applies only to Insider builds. If you are experiencing a problem on 19041.* that appears to have similar symptoms, please open a new tracker. Be sure to follow the template and be excruciatingly specific about the reproduction steps, in order to get a me2 from someone on 19041.

nlundquist · 2020-08-05T23:54:41Z

Still there in 20185 :(

nguyennb9 · 2020-08-06T08:10:17Z

win32yank.exe was working perfectly in Neovim before I join the insider program. So that this bug happens with the new build only. I guess I have to use vscode while waiting for this bug fixed :(

sajithneyo · 2020-08-14T13:31:53Z

I updated the windows yesterday. It's KB4566782 (OS Build 19041.450). Suddenly WSL 2 started crashing. Any fixes?

benhillis · 2020-08-14T14:31:10Z

@sajithneyo - define "crashing". This is an unrelated issue.

sajithneyo · 2020-08-14T14:56:10Z

@benhillis my bad. opened #5760

Since it has not been mentioned here yet:

This issue can also occur with <3>init: (2167) ERROR: UtilConnectUnix:467: connect failed 111 rather than just hanging the session.
In my case it was related to the $WSL_INTEROP pointing to the wrong parent.
This can be fixed by defining and executing the following function in your .bashrc, as explained by @lvlts here

fix_wsl2_interop() {
    for i in $(pstree -np -s $$ | grep -o -E '[0-9]+'); do
        if [[ -e "/run/WSL/${i}_interop" ]]; then
            export WSL_INTEROP=/run/WSL/${i}_interop
        fi
    done
}
fix_wsl2_interop

I hope this might help someone 🙏
