Hi,
How do you test?
- Which version of WSL you are using?
- What is the output of `echo $DISPLAY` if you open a terminal from the link
created by wslu?
- What is the content of `/etc/resolv.conf`?
I found where the issue is. On "wslu v3.2.1-1; wslusc v40", in
`/usr/share/wslu/wslusc-helper.sh` if I comment the following code, the
shortcuts start working:
# if ( eval "$ipconfig_exec" | grep -n -m 1 "Default Gateway.*: [0-9a-z]" |
cut -d : -f 1 ) >/dev/null; then
# set +H
# wsl2_d_tmp="$(eval "$ipconfig_exec" | grep -n -m 1 "Default Gateway.*:
[0-9a-z]" | cut -d : -f 1)"
# wsl2_d_tmp="$(eval "$ipconfig_exec" | sed $(( wsl2_d_tmp - 4 ))','$((
wsl2_d_tmp + 0 ))'!d' | grep IPv4 | cut -d : -f 2 | sed -e "s|\s||g" -e
"s|\r||g")"
# set -H
# export DISPLAY=${wsl2_d_tmp}:0.0
# else
wsl2_d_tmp="$(grep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf | awk '{print $2}')"
export DISPLAY=${wsl2_d_tmp}:0
# fi
This means the script is not setting DISPLAY variable properly and no
matter which X11 server you are using, it won't connect since on WSL2 it
is not in the local network. Here is what the script does without
commenting:
$ echo $DISPLAY
172.24.224.1:0 # this is what the IP should be
$ unset DISPLAY
/usr/share/wslu$ . ./wslusc-helper.sh
$ echo $DISPLAY
192.168.0.16:0.0 # this is what the scripts sets, this would work on WSL1
where host and WSL are on the same network, but on WSL2 it won't work

You need to run terminator in an X environment. Make sure $DISPLAY is
properly set
$ wslusc --gui terminator

<nothing happens>
Looks like DISPLAY propery is not set correctly by the underlying
script:
$ pwd
/usr/share/wslu
$ export DISPLAY=SHOULD_BE_SET
$ . wsl-integration.sh
$ echo $DISPLAY
SHOULD_BE_SET
