I'm having some issues setting the default shell for hyper to ubuntu.
My ubuntu shell is located at:
C:\Users\Niv\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\ubuntu2004.exe
I can verify this path is correct by running it.
I also tried setting the shell property to 'C:\Windows\System32\wsl.exe' as suggested in many other places.
However, setting it as the shell configuration in hyper does nothing. still opens with cmd. (i've made sure to keep shellArgs empty).
That's weird... What path appears if you run the script bellow?
where ubuntu2004.exe
If this returns a path different from the one you're using, try to use that path instead of the one you're trying to use and let me know if it's working.
Also, your shellArgs array on Hyper's settings must be empty. Have you checked that too?
I'm very busy these past months (couldn't even keep posting here). Sorry...
I hope you find a way to work around the issues you've found. And if you do, please comment the solution here... Maybe someone else will need that answer too.
In my case it was a missing comma after copy-pasting from the instructions that was causing hyper to not be able to process the config file. Everything worked on ubuntu2004.exe after spotting this for me.
Thanks for the great guide.

Do you have any idea how to fix this?

yes, shellArgs are empty.
are you able to set up this guide using this version of ubuntu?
