Event Details
| Product: | Windows Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications |
| ID: | 2016 |
| Source: | Microsoft-Windows-SUA-Psxrun |
| Version: | 6.0 |
| Symbolic Name: | GETUID_FAILED |
| Message: | GetUid failed: error %1 |
Resolve
Restart the application or computer
Psxrun attempted to call GetUid or GetPwUid functions of Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications, but one or more of these functions returned an error. Try restarting the POSIX application that failed. If that does not solve the problem, try restarting the computer to clear the error condition.
To restart the computer:
- Click Start, click the arrow next to the Lock button, and then click Restart.
Verify
Because multiple instances of Psxrun can be running at once, it is best to verify Psxrun in Windows Task Manager not by checking on a particular instance of Psxrun, but by verifying that the specific POSIX process or application launched by using Psxrun is running.
To verify that Psxrun is running:
- Open Windows Task Manager by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL, and then clicking Start Task Manager.
- On the Processes tab, select the Show processes from all users check box.
- Verify that a specific POSIX process you have started by using Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications is running.
If the POSIX application or process that has been launched by using Psxrun is indicated as running in Task Manager, then Psxrun is fully available. If the process is not running, critical errors are preventing Psxrun from being available.
