@NotTheDr01ds something for you? I think it's about Mongodb on WSL2.. askubuntu.com/questions/1450583/…

Which I think gives some problems because it lacks systemd..

Also see: stackoverflow.com/questions/62495999/installing-mongodb-in-wsl

And... learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/…

@karel it has your dupe vote and 3 unclear votes. Can't vote because it will be closed as unclear.

@ArturMeinild it's actually OT, as 18.04 is EoSS.

Artur Meinild

@BeastOfCaerbannog Really? I didn't think that was the case. I believe there was a meta post...

Which I can't find right now - but I seem to remember that the 3 year EoSS didn't count for us, but that we go with 5 years in all cases..

Also, per @guiverc 's comment

It's on-topic, but it's not Ubuntu with LXDE, and not the "Lubuntu" flavor

*It's Ubuntu with LXDE

Here it is: meta.askubuntu.com/questions/19616/…

What does this mean for Ask Ubuntu though?

(THIS part is with my mod hat on)

Simply put: We don't follow the flavor-specific 'support' period, we follow the overarching 5 year LTS support limit that the 'main' Ubuntu release follows, even for the flavors of Ubuntu like Lubuntu, Xubuntu, and Kubuntu. We also qualify as 'community support'.

So please retract your EOL close votes people for this question: askubuntu.com/questions/1450583/…

And let @NotTheDr01ds answer ! 😁

I fail to see how this relates to Ubuntu.. askubuntu.com/questions/1452082/…

Re: EOL and EoSS - I see the problem, since the close dialogue has this text:

This question is specific to a release of Ubuntu which has reached its end of standard support or end of life date, and is not related to asking for help to upgrade to a supported release. Such questions are considered unsupported and off-topic on Ask Ubuntu.

Maybe this contradicts what Thomas states in the meta post ??

@ArturMeinild I think I post a link to this answer every time I come across a guiverc comment about a flavour question being off-topic because it is over three years old. "Simply put: We don't follow the flavor-specific 'support' period, we follow the overarching 5 year LTS support limit that the 'main' Ubuntu release follows, even for the flavors of Ubuntu like Lubuntu, Xubuntu, and Kubuntu. We also qualify as 'community support'". - Thomas Ward

Oops, I see that Artur already posted TW's comment.

@ArturMeinild OMG! Stupid mistake. You're absolutely correct! It will be EoSS on April this year. I just did 18+5=23, not taking into account the month. For my defense, I was half asleep. :P

(The irony is that usually I'm the one to point out such things. Even the meta question you posted was asked by me. :P)

Artur Meinild

@BeastOfCaerbannog 👍😴😁

BeastOfCaerbannog

Close vote retracted BTW. Thanks for telling me. May the WSL god answer!

@C.S.Cameron The wording guiverc uses must be confusing for a new user. But he has changed it quite a bit over time, adjusting it tho the feedback.

Artur Meinild

@BeastOfCaerbannog At least I THINK it's WSL, because of the message: System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1).

BeastOfCaerbannog

10:18

I agree with your assesment.

@C.S.Cameron A totally unfortunate and unfair event if you ask me.

NotTheDr01ds

@ArturMeinild Probably, and probably. I'm also assuming WSL, but I'll wait for the OP to confirm. If you'd like to answer, I think you've pretty much nailed it -- The error message appears to be because they don't have Systemd enabled. They can likely either enable Systemd or use the fallback directions that you pointed to from Microsoft.

@NotTheDr01ds I think you're much better suited to answer, since I'm not that well-versed in the exact details..

NotTheDr01ds

@ArturMeinild I'm happy to, but having never done MongoDB, I'll be hand-waving a bit as well on this one ;-).

Although I may set up a test instance with Systemd and see if the "normal" package installs.

@NotTheDr01ds I wouldn't expect anything less than you're perfectly proficient in hand-waving, considering your handle and avatar.. 😁😎

Okay, I have officially killed unix for now here on AU.

There were only two questions, from 10 years ago, and I retagged both of them to the topic that was actually being discussed.

According to the burninate help, the tag should be auto-deleted in 24 hours.

However, I don't know if there are any deleted questions with that tag, or if it matters for burnation.
