Ubuntu WSL is listed in Clion toolchains but says "not found"
Answered
Hi,
I have an issue while trying to create a WSL toolchain.
CLion seems to detect the WSL correctly. Also, when I install another WSL (like Ubuntu 18.04), it is automatically added in the list.

You can see that Ubuntu-20.04 is listed but still not found :

Versions :
- Windows 10 : 1803
- WSL : 1 (since windows 1803 does not support WSL 2)
- WSL Distrib : Ubuntu 20.04 from Windows store
- CLion : 2021.2.3
Do you know if there is a fix for this ?
