I am having issues displaying glxgears or any other GUI application, like Gazebo or rviz.

I have VcXsrv as my windows X server for WSL2 with Ubuntu 20.04. I followed this link for instructions: https://lifesaver.codes/answer/ros-gazebo-black-screen-3368, but this is the end result:

Error: couldn't open display

Any Ideas?

Does this answer your question? What's the easiest way to run GUI apps on Windows Subsystem for Linux? – karel Apr 19 '22 at 00:07
