+# Analyzing WSLg logs
+
+WSLg is the component that runs graphical (GUI) and audio Linux applications on WSL. Its
+source lives in a separate repository: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg. The canonical list
+of diagnostics to request for a WSLg bug is the WSLg repo bug report template
+(`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml` in microsoft/wslg).
+
+`diagnostics/collect-wsl-logs.ps1` collects the logs into a `wslg/` subfolder of the log archive
+(via `wsl.exe --system --user root`, with a timeout so a wedged service can't hang collection), so a
+standard WSL log collection already contains the log files below. Crash dumps (`dumps/`,
+`wsl-crashes/`) are only collected when the script is run with `-Dump`.
+
+## Architecture (just enough to read the logs)
+
+WSLg runs a **system distro** (a small Azure Linux VM, separate from the user distro) that hosts:
+- **weston** (Wayland compositor) with the `rdp-backend.so` / `rdprail-shell.so` modules
+- **Xwayland** for X11 apps
+- **pulseaudio** with an RDP sink/source for audio
+- **FreeRDP** to stream the surfaces over an hvsocket to the Windows RDP client (`msrdc.exe`)
+
+`weston.log` and `wlog.log` are written by weston/FreeRDP, `pulseaudio.log` by pulseaudio, and
+`stderr.log` is the combined stderr of `WSLGd` and the processes it launches.
+
+## Files (in the `wslg/` folder, sourced from `/mnt/wslg`)
+
+| File | Contents |
+|---|---|
+| `versions.txt` | WSLg version, architecture, build date, component git hashes (weston, FreeRDP, mesa, pulseaudio) |
+| `weston.log` | Weston compositor + RDP backend log |
+| `wlog.log` | FreeRDP (WLog) log |
+| `pulseaudio.log` | PulseAudio log |
+| `stderr.log` | `WSLGd` and child-process stderr |
+| `dumps/` | Legacy WSLg crash dumps (older builds only; collected with `-Dump`) |
+| `wsl-crashes/` | Host-side WSLg crash dumps copied from `%TEMP%\wsl-crashes` (newer builds, e.g. `core.weston`; collected with `-Dump`) |
+
+## Reading tips and common signatures
+
+- **`weston.log` is truncated on every boot.** Weston is started with `--log=/mnt/wslg/weston.log`
+  and opens it truncating, so the file only ever contains the **latest** system-distro boot. To
+  tell whether weston restarted, compare the boot timestamp on the first line (`weston 9.0.0 ...`)
+  across snapshots, or correlate with `dmesg`.
+
+- **System distro cycling / teardown.** In `dmesg` (collected via the ETL `GuestLog` events or
+  the debug console), this pair means the WSLg system distro's `init` exited and the distro was
+  torn down (idle timeout or shutdown), which also restarts weston:
+  ```
+  Exception: Operation canceled @p9io.cpp:258 (AcceptAsync)
+  WSL (1 - init()) ERROR: InitEntryUtilityVm:2551: Init has exited. Terminating distribution
+  ```
+  Repeating every ~25-60s with no GUI client attached is usually normal idle teardown, not a crash.
+  A genuine weston crash instead leaves a core dump in `wsl-crashes/` (or `dumps/`).
+
+- **No GPU acceleration (software rendering).** This means the virtual GPU (`/dev/dxg`, d3d12 mesa)
+  is not usable, so rendering falls back to CPU:
+  ```
+  Xwayland glamor: GBM Wayland interfaces not available
+  Failed to initialize glamor, falling back to sw
+  ```
+  Investigate GPU driver presence, `/dev/dxg`, and the `mesa`/`d3d12` stack if the user reports
+  black windows, slow rendering, or missing 3D.
+
+- **Audio sink not connected (usually benign at boot).** Expected until an RDP/audio client attaches:
+  ```
+  [rdp-sink] RDP Sink - Trying to connect to /mnt/wslg/PulseAudioRDPSink
+  [rdp-sink] Connected failed
+  ```
+  If it persists while audio is actively broken, look at the RDP client (`msrdc`) audio channel.
+
+- **Mostly-benign startup noise** (not a root cause on its own):
+  - `WSLGd: Exception: No such file or directory @FontMonitor.cpp:280` - font share not mounted.
+  - `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR "/mnt/wslg/runtime-dir" ... mode 040777` (should be 0700) - common warning.
+  - `dbus: Unknown username "pulse"` / `Option "-listen" is deprecated` - harmless.
+
+## When to escalate to the WSLg repo
+
+WSLg code is not in this repository. Fixes to weston, FreeRDP, pulseaudio, or the RDP backend
+belong in https://github.com/microsoft/wslg. Use a commit-pinned permalink when referencing files
+there so the link does not drift, e.g.
+`https://github.com/microsoft/wslg/blob/<commit-sha>/<path>`.

 The script will output the path of the log file once done.

+## WSLg (graphical and audio applications) logs
+
+[WSLg](https://github.com/microsoft/wslg) runs graphical and audio Linux applications. It runs a
+system distro that hosts the `weston` Wayland compositor (with an RDP backend), `Xwayland`,
+`pulseaudio`, and `FreeRDP`. WSLg's source lives in a separate repository:
+[microsoft/wslg](https://github.com/microsoft/wslg).
+
+WSLg writes its logs to `/mnt/wslg` (accessible from Windows via `\\wsl$\<Distro>\mnt\wslg`):
+
+- `weston.log` - Weston compositor and RDP backend log
+- `wlog.log` - FreeRDP log
+- `pulseaudio.log` - PulseAudio log
+- `stderr.log` - `WSLGd` and child-process stderr
+- `versions.txt` - WSLg version and component git hashes
+
+Crash dumps (e.g. `core.weston`) are written to `%TEMP%\wsl-crashes` on newer builds, or
+`/mnt/wslg/dumps` on older ones.
+
+The [collect-wsl-logs.ps1](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/blob/master/diagnostics/collect-wsl-logs.ps1)
+script gathers the logs above automatically into a `wslg/` folder (crash dumps are included when run
+with `-Dump`). Note that `weston.log` is truncated on every system-distro boot, so it only contains
+the most recent boot.
+
+
 ## Attaching debuggers
 
 Usermode can be attached to WSL Windows processes (wsl.exe, wslservice.exe, wslrelay.exe, ...). The symbols are available under the `bin/<platform>/<target>` folder.
