Hi to everyone! I am new to this forum and I want to ask a question. I am using w10 and wsl 2 and there is a strange problem. I installed fedora33 as fedoramagazine said but I cant use man pages at all. I installed Ubunty from w store and man pages worked. Why is that? Probably because w strore doesnt have fedora or something I can fix?
Thanks for your answers! and have a nice year!

Hi Tom, thanks but is already installed. Do you have wsl and fedora in your system? There is a diff I cant get. I have pc with fedora installed and man pages are ok. But something goes wrong with wsl.
Thank you again!
Hi,
Not running WSL. I have got a windows laptop. I’ll take WSL for spin later and see if I can get man pages working. I don’t think there is an official WSL install, so I don’t know what my mileage will be.
Thanks Tom.

good luck !
Hi,
Installed and reproduced, stumbled across the fix here:
comment our or remove tsflags=nodocs from:
/etc/dnf/dnf.conf
Remove and reinstall man & man-db and $ man man now works as expected.
Because the rootfs system is being borrowed from a container project, docs are turned off by default to save space. If you have any packages already install and you require the man pages, it will need to be reinstalled; so the man pages can be grabbed at install time.
Thanks Tom.
