Unable to set gcloud project in wsl2 ubuntu

Question

I am using Cisco anyconnect vpn, wsl2, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and I have a problem with setting up my gcloud project.

gcloud config set project my_project

There is no issue with my Windows CMD, so there is no issue with my account. I am able to curl google.com in my wsl2 as well so there is no DNS issue, I mean have the network in my wsl.

I am not sure what privilege I don't have in my wsl2 that caused the system stuck.

In addition, I tried to use an alternative way to set the project and run the

gcloud container clusters ....

but I am not able to run this command as well.

I don't have any issue with the below commands either, which I am running before the above first statement:

    gcloud auth activate-service-account --key-file $HOME/mydevdetails.json
    gcloud config set account [email protected]

Would you mind helping me to figure out what is missing?

Answer 1

I am living in Germany and I am using Vodafone CGA644VF modem which is providing a horrible service for me. It seems that there is some restriction in this type of modem and the problem is due to the size of the packet.

I solve my problem by decreasing the size of the packet sent from WSL by using the below command:

 sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 500 up

You can check your current setting by :

ifconfig | grep mtu
