I have installed Ubuntu 20.04 LTS at Windows 10 Professional build 19041.329 and would like to run graphical apps at X server. Did a install of Docker Desktop and did a test and it's working fine.

But with focus on the graphical apps I installed: VcXsrv

VT-x is enabled at BIOS, WSL 2 is active under Windows 10 Pro.

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> wsl -l -v
  NAME                   STATE           VERSION
* Ubuntu-20.04           Running         2
  docker-desktop-data    Stopped         2
  docker-desktop         Stopped         2

I disabled at Windows 10 the domain, public and private Firewall zones and at Ubuntu 20.04 LTS I did:

$ sudo ufw disable

I followed this tutorial to install Docker: Docker Install at WSL2

I have used the same IP address from WSL interface (Windows 10):

$sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
$sudo apt-get install xfce4

Did the steps:

$nano .bashrc

export DISPLAY=SAMEIP_of_WSL_IFACE:0 -> put at the EOF.

source ~/.bashrc

When I did run one time and launched Xserver for Windows with success (show the black screen).

But now I facing this message at VcxSvr when I click Xlaunch not open and show this: enter image description here

Tried with regular user and root like image bellow: enter image description here

Have no clue about...Tried to put in the WSL a static IP, used Privazer (cleanup windows) and nothing...

  • I have not had luck with the desktop environment. Remoting your DISPLAY variable isn't for remoting the window manager anyways. VcXSrv IS your window manager. Start simple, uninstall xfce4, apt-get install xterm. Change all of the IPs to loopback. Fix your DISPLAY export to 127.0.0.1:0.0 <- note the second ".0". Make THAT work. You should be able to launch xterm & and get an xterm in windows. Expand from there (a working checkpoint).

I did the following command:

cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep nameserver | awk '{print $2}'

And I have edited .bashrc and give a source .bashrc.

So worked fine!
