Unable to open applications from toolbar

Hi,

I recently installed the toolbar successfully, and am running Xming with the default setup on Windows 10 19.09. I’m running Ubuntu 18.04 on WSL1 as well, and I’ve installed Gnome via sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop.

When I first installed the toolbar I was able to open the Files application (Nautilus) without any trouble, but then found that nothing happened trying to open some others such as Firefox, Transmission etc. After some clicking around I think LibreOffice Draw opened for me as well but now today nothing is opening.

I went through the steps that you’ve recommended. I’ve got DISPLAY set to localhost:0.0, have disabled the public blocks on XMing in the firewall and have added a rule for TCP port 6000 in from the WSL subnet.

When I run the following commands they successfully open each application every time, they just don’t open from the toolbar:

wsl.exe -d Ubuntu -u mattc -- source ~/.bashrc ; env; firefox
wsl.exe -d Ubuntu -u mattc -- source ~/.bashrc ; env; xterm
wsl.exe -d Ubuntu -u mattc -- source ~/.bashrc ; env; nautilus

Obviously happy to provide more information - just let me know which logs you want and where I can find them and I’ll happy provide them.

Works for me too!

It seems to somehow have changed the behavior of, say, /c/Users/<your-user>/.config/wsl-windows-toolbar-launcher/metadata/WSL/Accessories/files.sh & (used to work fine but doesn’t do anything now, the process is running but nothing shows), but it’s not really that important for this

Works for me! Thanks!
