Steps to reproduce

Through this this reddit thread DHowett urged me to open an issue.

I changed the default profile to my WSL distro and the colorscheme and fontsettings for this profile. I believe installing the latest windows updates broke my profile and reset my settings to default showing this error. My settings were changed back to default (Powershell as standard profile, WSL profile colorscheme and font settings back to defaults).

I had the same happen on my Windows 11 workstation.

Here is the settings.json from my Win10 desktop (I had already fixed my settings)

Expected Behavior

After an update I would like my settings to remain the way they were

Actual Behavior

My terminal settings got reset to defaults showing an error message about the default GUID not matching any of my profile GUIDs.

### Expected Behavior After an update I would like my settings to remain the way they were ### Actual Behavior My terminal settings got reset to defaults showing an error message about the default GUID not matching any of my profile GUIDs.

What's the output of

wsl --list --all -v

I wonder if the underlying source got lost, so the default profile, which should be Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS, got lost

(Thanks for filing this!)

This is the part that worries me. The Ubuntu application was shipping a fragment, and now they're possibly not!

                          ^^^^^

Would you mind running Get-AppxPackage CanonicalGroup* | fl * in PowerShell? I wonder if there was a package update recently that changed something about their profile setup.

Do you recall whether the profile at one point called itself "Ubuntu 20.04.4" or "20.04.3"? I cracked open their profile customization and noticed that they didn't specify a permanent unique identifier for it, so it'll get autogenerated based on the name. If they release a package that updates the name, it'll invalidate all other references to that profile...

Hmmmm. I don't love this state of affairs.

@DHowett's gonna take the action item here to follow up with Canonical.

tldr of a teams thread:

  • Their fragments define new profiles for their distro. They do this probably because the dynamic profile won't exist until ubuntu.exe has been run at least once.
  • Their fragment profiles don't define a GUID, but they do ship a name. Terminal generates a GUID for that profile on their behalf.
  • When you set that profile as the default, Terminal sets the guid of the profile as the defaultProfile.[1]
  • When the app gets updated, they change the name of the profile. This results in a new GUID being generated for the fragment.
  • Now when you launch the Terminal, the old GUID does not point at a valid profile. This throws the warning.

they should:
(1) freeze the guid for this package to the current autogenerated one,
(2) same for all EXISTING packages and
(3) for all new ones, just generate guids

[1]: this issue would ultimately still happen even if we used the name of the profile, because the profile would change names. But maybe we could surface the error better? We were expecting a profile with the name "foo".

collected issues with Canonical's distro profiles

  • #14003 (this thread)
    • because the guid changes, the defaultProfile is now invalid
  • #12961
    • Because they're using ubuntu.exe as the commandline, when we change the startingDirectory, that's ignored by ubuntu.exe
  • #14233
    • We don't know which WSL distro is associated with their profiles, so we don't know how to translate windows paths into WSL-relative ones for them.
  • #15347
    • People are pretty easily confused when they try to customize "Ubuntu" and end up customizing the wrong thing.
