Hi, I've tested the version from PPA:
$ wslusc --version wslu v3.2.1-1; wslusc v40 $ wslusc --gui terminator [warn] wsl-term.ico not found in Windows directory. Copying right now... [info] wsl-term.ico copied. Located at "/mnt/c/Users/username/wslu". [warn] wsl-gui.ico not found in Windows directory. Copying right now... [info] wsl-gui.ico copied. Located at "/mnt/c/Users/username/wslu". [info] Create shortcut terminator.lnk successful And the shortcut doesn't work and I think I know why. DISPLAY option is not set properly by the script: $ echo $DISPLAY 172.18.96.1:0 # this should be the correct one $ unset DISPLAY $ . wslusc-helper.sh $ echo $DISPLAY 192.168.0.16:0.0 # this is what is set by the script The correct way would be setting DISPLAY from /etc/reslv.conf: $ cat /etc/resolv.conf # This file was automatically generated by WSL. To stop automatic generation of this file, add the following entry to /etc/wsl.conf: # [network] # generateResolvConf = false nameserver 172.18.96.1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to wslu in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1914601 Title: GUI apps do not start from the link created Status in wslu package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Description: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS Release: 20.04 wslu: Installed: 2.3.6-0ubuntu2~20.04.0 Candidate: 2.3.6-0ubuntu2~20.04.0 Version table: *** 2.3.6-0ubuntu2~20.04.0 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.3.6-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages C:\Users\username\Desktop>wsl -l -v NAME STATE VERSION * Ubuntu-20.04 Running 2 $ wslusc --version wslu v2.3.6; wslusc v37 $ wslusc terminator [info] Create shortcut terminator.lnk successful C:\Users\username\Desktop>terminator.lnk Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused You need to run terminator in an X environment.
