[WSL2] experimental/wsl2 template has systemd misconfigured and integration test is fainling

[arixmkii]

Description

For out of the box configured machine systemd has startup issues. This results in failing integration test.

With WSL2 with NAT networking mode list of failed units:

[systemd]
Failed Units: 2
  audit-rules.service
  auditd.service

With WSL2 with mirrored networking mode list of failed units:

[systemd]
Failed Units: 3
  audit-rules.service
  auditd.service
  NetworkManager-wait-online.service

Example output from shell:

limactl shell wsl2 systemctl is-system-running --wait
time="2025-02-22T16:35:59+02:00" level=warning msg="treating lima version \"4e0539cb.m\" from \"C:\\\\Users\\\\Arthu\\\\.lima\\\\wsl2\\\\lima-version\" as very latest release"
degraded

echo %ERRORLEVEL%
-1

Potentially this is an issue for the upstream provider of the base system, but it is unclear if there is a more suitable place to report this. Failing integration test still has place.

There sources stating that WSL2 kernel doesn't include auditing support in their default build https://randombytes.substack.com/p/problematic-systemd-units-under-wsl

So, auditd services have to be either disabled or uninstalled in the upstream root fs.

There is also occasional failure of getty-console, but this is attributed to some bug in systemd util-linux/util-linux#2896 (comment) Current WSL2 template is Fedora 40 image, Fedora 41 or soon to be released Fedora 42 might resolve this entirely.
