Issue Installing MariaDB on CentOS7 WSL: Failed to get D-Bus connection: Operation not permitted

[afpgit]

First of all, awesome work on creating this for WSL. Really really useful, thank you.

I am following instructions given in here to install MariaDB on CentOS7 for WSL in Windows 11.

PS C:\Users\joe> wsl -l -v
  NAME                   STATE           VERSION
* Ubuntu-22.04           Stopped         2
  docker-desktop         Running         2
  docker-desktop-data    Stopped         2
  CentOS7                Stopped         2

sudo yum install mariadb-server works with no problems as expected. However, sudo systemctl start mariadb will run into the following issue:

[root@mycomputer etc]# systemctl start mariadb
Failed to get D-Bus connection: Operation not permitted

So I enabled systemd by adding the following to /etc/wsl.conf

[boot]
systemd=true

I shutdown wsl and restarted it. systemctl list-units --type=service will produce the proper results indicating systemd is working. However, I am still getting Failed to get D-Bus connection.

Is there any way to get MariaDB server to work in CentOS 7 for WSL?

在wsl中执行systemctl相关命令报错 Failed to get D-Bus connection: Operation not permitted

备份systemctl

mv /usr/bin/systemctl /usr/bin/systemctl.bak

写入systemctl脚本

curl https://gitee.com/umico/docker-systemctl-replacement/raw/master/files/docker/systemctl.py > /usr/bin/systemctl

授予执行权限

chmod +x /usr/bin/systemctl

@fzxfzx12345 升级wsl软件本身即可支持识别/etc/wsl.conf文件
