Cypress won't open

See original GitHub issue

Current behavior

I’ve installed Cypress on Ubuntu 18.04 according to the instructions and the command “npx cypress open” fails with only the following information which doesn’t instruct me what the problem is or what to do about it:

[8931:0705/070931.992860:ERROR:bus.cc(397)] Failed to connect to the bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory

[8931:0705/071011.886724:ERROR:network_service_instance_impl.cc(978)] Network service crashed, restarting service.

Desired behavior

It should start I assume. Never used it before.

I think this ticket was meant to be closed. I abandoned WSL as unsupportable and switched to a VM which worked. My only further suggestion was to consider advising users that WSL is not currently supported so we don’t get lost in that hole.

Cheers Erik

If not, I would suggest opening a new issue to track the current problem rather than append to an unrelated issue.
