### Issue Description

After updating Cursor to version “0.34.5”,  
when trying to create a Docker container on WSL2 and connect from Cursor using Dev Container,  
It remains on “Starting Dev Container” and does not proceed further.  
We would appreciate your help in identifying this issue.

Sorry, I solved myself.  
I checked the version of wsl,  
There were two Linux distributions.

```auto
PS C:\Users\user_name> wsl --list --verbose
NAME STATE VERSION
Ubuntu Running 2
* Ubuntu-20.04 Running 2
docker-desktop Running 2
docker-desktop-data Running 2

```

”Ubuntu-20.04” was the default distribution.  
I had no reason to, but I changed it to “Ubuntu” to try it out.

```auto
wsl --set-default Ubuntu

```

Then the problem was solved and I could successfully access inside the container with Dev Containers.

```auto
PS C:\Users\user_name> wsl --list --verbose
NAME STATE VERSION
* Ubuntu Running 2
Ubuntu-20.04 Running 2
docker-desktop Running 2
docker-desktop-Data Running 2

```

I don’t know why I couldn’t access inside the container with “Ubuntu-20.04”,  
When I accessed the container with Dev Containers on “Ubuntu”,  
I saw the words “Install Server” for a moment.

With “Ubuntu-20.04”, it did not proceed to “Install Server”,  
So it seems that the process stopped at some point before it got to that point.  
If anyone else is having the same problem, please let me know,  
If you are experiencing the same symptoms, please try changing the Linux distribution of WSL.

Thank you for your patience. Thanks again.
