Without the -nowgl option, I saw this error: Qt.qpa.screen: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display :0 Without launching from DOS command prompt with -listen tcp, I saw this same error, as if the server was not running at all: Qt.qpa.screen: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-gojimmypi' Alternatively for nextpnr, we'd see this error: This is of course the same error when the X-Server is not running. Without setting export DISPLAY=:0 in WSL, this error appears when trying to run xclock in WSL: Hopefully this document will help others avoid this frustration. I've included some of the errors and solutions. Prior to this exercise, I had never used cygwin, so this did take a bit of time to figure out. The last two options are rather important. To properly launch a Cygwin X-Server for WSL, from a DOS command prompt, launch cygwin with two extra parameters: -listen tcp and -nowgl like this:Ĭ:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe -quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "cd exec /usr/bin/startxwin -listen tcp -nowgl" (mine was in the same pop-up menu on the taskbar where USB devices can be disconnected) Note: every time you attempt to launch the Cygwin X-Windows Server from a DOS prompt, you should close all running instances in the task bar before opening another. The default XWin Server launch as installed does not work for our WSL exercise:Ĭ:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe -quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "cd exec /usr/bin/startxwin" Xclock can be a simple and useful X-Windows app to test if the XServer is working, and can be found in x11-apps: When running a GUI app in WSL, remember that security is handled by the app started from the DOS prompt. Note that the username / security context in the DOS Windows may be different depending on the username selected when installing the Ubuntu WSL. # copy the Cygwin/X user file to the WSL current user home directoryĬp /mnt/c/cygwin64/home/gojimmypi/.Xauthority ~/.Xauthority "Įxport DISPLAY=:0 # you may wish you put in this your ~/.bashrc # DOS (default C:\cygwin64\bin\) run.exe call to startxwin calls cygwin bash: "/usr/bin/XWin :0.

I ended up with nearly 4GB in my local C:\cygwin64 - install takes a very long time.
