wireshark on wsl ubuntu - plugins not working

I am trying to install the mavlink disector on my wel ubuntu machine

I added it to the

xxxxx@MAXWELL:~/dev/udp_test$ ls -alrt ~/.local/lib/wireshark/plugins total 2980 drwxr-xr-x 3 xxx xxx 4096 Jul 7 23:20 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 xxx xxx 3036602 Jul 7 23:21 wireshark.lua drwxr-xr-x 2 xxx xxx 4096 Jul 7 23:21 .

but it is not working. I checked the folder section of help

it indicates that the folder is /root/.local/lib/wireshark/plugins

xxx@MAXWELL:~/dev/udp_test$ sudo ls -alrt /root/.local/lib/wireshark/plugins [sudo] password for xxx: total 2976 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 7 23:51 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3036602 Jul 7 23:53 wireshark.lua drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 7 23:53 . xxx@MAXWELL:~/dev/udp_test$

I defined XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/xxx/.local/bin and re-installed wireshark - still no luck.
