wslg: X11 GUI does not open anymore

Windows build number:

10.0.22000.0

Your Distribution version:

22.04

Your WSL versions:

WSL version: 0.66.2.0 Kernel version: 5.15.57.1 WSLg version: 1.0.42 MSRDC version: 1.2.3401 Direct3D version: 1.606.4 DXCore version: 10.0.25131.1002-220531-1700.rs-onecore-base2-hyp Windows version: 10.0.22000.978

Steps to reproduce:

Not sure this is reproducible since WSL worked fine just a few days ago. I don’t remember changing anything significant. When launching any X app, the stdout looks like it works fine, but no actual window opens anymore.

Launch xeyes.

Nothing happens: image

WSL dumps:

Dir /mnt/wslg/dumps is empty

Expected behavior:

An x11 window opens

Actual behavior:

No x11 window opens but the application works fine according to the stdout.

❯ echo $DISPLAY
172.17.128.1:0.0

Setting $DISPLAY :0 does not work: image

No x11 server seems to be running though:

❯ ls /tmp/.X11-unix

Recreating the link also does not change the behaviour:

❯ ln -s /mnt/wslg/.X11-unix /tmp/.X11-unix
ln: replace '/tmp/.X11-unix/.X11-unix'? y
'/tmp/.X11-unix/.X11-unix' -> '/mnt/wslg/.X11-unix'

@gmsh, the socket is no longer symlink between /tmp and /mnt/wslg, so manually restore them won’t work. Can you do below to write something on /mnt/wslg/.X11-unix, and see if file “foo” is visible from /tmp/.X11-unix as well? this ensure they are mounted at same point, thanks!

 echo foo > /mnt/wslg/.X11-unix/foo
 cat /tmp/.X11-unix/foo
 foo

Also from Windows’s command prompt

 C:\Windows\System32>wsl --system -d [your distro name if not default] -u root cat /mnt/wslg/.X11-unix/foo
 foo
 C:\Windows\System32>wsl --system -d [your distro name if not default] -u root cat /tmp/.X11-unix/foo
 foo

This is quite interesting. Since mine is set to the host IP (left over config of WSL on Win10). But it seems to respond to the app, since it does not throw any connection error, but actually connects to something and runs (but without opening any window).

Your connection is being trapped by the firewall, this is why it stays like this.

So it seems to have fixed itself somehow. I tried it nearly everyday the last week and it didn’t work, so that is very weird.

It works at first but eventually, the X0 socket disappears and you need to do a wsl --shutdown to get it working again.

@gmsh, going forward the issue with those Pentium Silver N6000 series issue will be tracked by https://github.com/microsoft/wslg/issues/877.

And base on above https://github.com/microsoft/wslg/issues/853#issuecomment-1282198923, I believe the original issue is now solved, so I will close this issue.

@crramirez, would you please share core.Xwayland from /mnt/wslg/dump? thanks!

you should try this. my X-11 apps don’t work too but I found this one. or may be just uninstall Xming and install VcXsrv Windows X Server instead. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43397162/show-matplotlib-plots-and-other-gui-in-ubuntu-wsl1-wsl2

Hello @Koonarm,

These instructions are related to using GUI without WSLg, which is different from using WSLg.

For WSLg and Windows 11, the DISPLAY variable should be DISPLAY=:0 For external X11 and Windows 10 variable should be DISPLAY=#.#.#.#:0 where #.#.#.# is the IP in /etc/resolv.conf to your host IP. For this, you’ll also need an X server like VcXSrv or Xming, X410, etc.

The issue as described is related to WSLg

Regards, Carlos

@lohrm-stabl, @virtuluv, thanks for checking with the latest WSL, I reopened the issue, thanks!

Please update to WSL 0.70.0 by wsl --update, and check if this is still issue, we have addressed several X connection issues in this release, thanks!
