[Carlos Nihelton <mp+481032@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Carlos Nihelton has proposed merging ~cnihelton/ubuntu-manual-tests:wsl1-tc into ubuntu-manual-tests:main.

Commit message:
Adds a test case for the new format under WSL 1

WSL 1 is still popular for some niche cases.
With this test case we assert that the image and its provisioning
command behaves well under such platform.

Ofc not all features are supported there, we just aim to assert that we
don't block forever waiting on systemd services and other assumptions
that wouldn't hold true in WSL 1.


Requested reviews:
  Tim Andersson (andersson123)

+This case tests provisioning a tar-based WSL image as WSL 1.</p>
+
+It requires a working Microsoft Windows 11 or higher installation with WSL version 2.4.10 or later. Installing Windows and enabling WSL 2 is outside of the scope of this  test case.
+
+Since the release of Ubuntu LTS 24.04.2 Noble Numbat, tar-based images are found at <a href="https://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-wsl/";>https://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-wsl/</a>
+and their file extension is ".wsl" instead of ".tar.gz".
+
+For example for latest noble image:  <a href="https://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-wsl/noble/daily-live/pending/noble-wsl-amd64.wsl";>https://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-wsl/daily-live/noble/pending/noble-wsl-amd64.wsl</a>
+Make sure to download the image matching the correct release under test from the download link associated to this test case.
+
+WSL 1 doesn't support systemd, thus we skip checking if its running, if there are failed units. We also assume
+cloud-init cannot run under such environment.
+
+After downloading the image, open PowerShell and follow the steps below:
+
+<dl>
+	<dt>Install a new instance as WSL 1</dt>
+		<dd>Navigate to the folder where you downloaded the image into and enter the following
+				command, adjusting to the correct release name under test
+<pre>
+&gt; wsl --install --from-file .\noble-wsl-amd64.wsl --location .\Noble --name Noble --version 1
+</pre>
+		</dd>
+		<dd>Verify that the new instance has been registered as WSL 1 by running the following command:
+<pre>
+> wsl.exe --list --all --verbose

+</pre>
+		</dd>
+		<dd>Check the **name** used in previous command appears in the list.</dd>
+
+	<dt>Launch the new instance. The provisioning (OOBE) command will run and eventually will prompt for
+		the new user creation. The input line should be prefilled with a user name derived from the
+		current Windows user name.</dt>
+		<dd>In the example below the Windows user name is ubuntu
+<pre>
+> wsl -d Noble
+Provisioning the new WSL instance Ubuntu-24.04
+This might take a while...
+Create a default Unix user account: ubuntu
+</pre></dd>
+	<dd>Hit enter and proceed with the default user creation. Once done you should be running bash inside
+	the distro instance
