[Bug 2036190] [NEW] fwupd running in WSL 2 in Ubuntu-22.04 fails to start

[Aki Ketolainen]

Public bug reported:

The fwupd systemd service file contains
"ConditionVirtualization=!container". This blocks fwupd from starting in
WSL 2 Ubuntu-22.04 instance. Modifying the fwupd systemd service file to
contain:

# /etc/systemd/system/fwupd.service.d/override.conf
[Unit]
ConditionVirtualization=

fixes this issue.

WSL 2 is a light-weight utility VM, not a container.

I noticed this issue when starting gnome-software. gnome-software output
this error to the terminal:
