Can't open GUI app from terminal #63

NoozAbooz · 2021-05-20T20:22:32Z

I'm using wsl2. I'm running a docker app. I got this while running it in terminal directly without using any of the shortcut stuff or the linux apps menu:

[ERR]: GLFW Error: X11: Failed to open display unix172.17.16.1:0.0

(I've tested other apps like zenity which display perfectly.)

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Andrew-J-Larson · 2021-05-20T21:30:44Z

Seems likely that the export might be screwed up for the direct terminal.

When that error shows up, in the same terminal, have you tried to execute export DISPLAY=172.17.16.1:0.0 (or whatever IP it shows after the unix part), and then tried to run the application again?

You could also try DISPLAY=172.17.16.1:0.0 [app/command you are trying to run here] in case export is not working.

Andrew-J-Larson · 2021-05-20T21:32:29Z

Also, maybe check the application itself for any switches that change the display

The display stuff didn't seem to work. The app doesn't seem to change the display stuff but here's it's code just in case

Minecraft PI edition? Why are you trying to run that in WSL? Doing some coding projects with it?

In any case, assuming you are virtualizing an ARM system within WSL, you're likely missing openGL drivers for the virtualization, that or something else is going wrong.

Andrew-J-Larson · 2021-05-20T21:49:24Z

@mobilegmyt

Maybe line 3 (set -e) is causing display to screw up.

Here's what I suggest, try replacing:

set -e

with

display=$DISPLAY
set -e
export DISPLAY=$display

in your script.

I'm trying to run mcpi-reborn: https://gitea.thebrokenrail.com/TheBrokenRail/minecraft-pi-reborn. It's a mcpi mod that I want to get running on my win10 machine. I'm running a x86 virgl edition of it which quote, "Uses VirGL For Hardware Acceleration" so it probably doesn't use gl.

Still the same issue sadly :/

Andrew-J-Larson · 2021-05-20T21:54:43Z

how about maybe including this somwhere near the top? export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=0

Andrew-J-Larson · 2021-05-20T22:00:10Z

Only other thing I can think of, if that doesn't work, is maybe try changing the display mode in GWSL (to single window mode or full screen mode) and then see if your script works then.

Is it normal for windowed mode to be showing this black screen? I do have a de installed.

Pololot64 · 2021-05-20T23:39:12Z

That is normal when no clients are connected. So did you update your .profile yet? Sorry. I missed what has been going on. (note I have never tested GWSL with docker)

.profile? Whut?

Pololot64 · 2021-05-20T23:41:16Z

I am not sure how wsl works with docker but if you get in the docker's home directory if there is one what happens if you run cat .profile

try replacing $(cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep nameserver | awk '{print $2; exit;}') with the ip that th error message shows. Leave the :0.0 though

Did you allow GWSL through the windows firewall? Since you are running the beta you can fix it in the dashboard in the about screen

NoozAbooz · 2021-05-21T15:09:50Z

It was allowed when I opened it.

Pololot64 · 2021-05-21T15:22:11Z

Well now the ip has probably changed... What happens if you run echo $(cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep nameserver | awk '{print $2; exit;}'):0.0

NoozAbooz · 2021-05-21T15:23:18Z

It's still 172.17.16.1

Does GWSL's test xclock work? Dashboard --> About --> XClock?

I found this. microsoft/WSL#2855 (comment)

Create an xserver profile with the flags -nowgl -compositewm -multiwindow

(Name it Minecraft or something)

I found this. microsoft/WSL#2855 (comment)

So I click this and enter the args and stuff right?

Pololot64 · 2021-05-21T15:55:20Z

Yes

NoozAbooz · 2021-05-21T16:00:40Z

Yes

Okay, I'm switched to the profile, I remove all my previous changes to .profile and /usr/bin/minecraft-pi so it would launch properly. Still the same error though.

Pololot64 · 2021-05-21T16:07:16Z

And if you keep that profile and put this in .profile export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=0 does it work?

Pololot64 · 2021-05-21T16:07:48Z

And maybe restart wsl with wsl --shutdown

NoozAbooz · 2021-05-21T16:14:37Z

Nope stll the same.

Pololot64 · 2021-05-21T16:15:36Z

I have no idea then :( sorry. I can't do anything to fix it in the backend either

NoozAbooz · 2021-05-21T17:01:53Z

And maybe restart wsl with wsl --shutdown

And also apprantly --shutdown wasn't a proper argument so I used the restart function in gwsl

Pololot64 · 2021-05-21T17:06:52Z

Thats ok. Some apps just don't work in WSL. I hope soon compatability will be better but for now its up to Microsoft.

Pololot64 · 2021-05-21T17:17:46Z

Wait wsl --shutdown didn't work? That is how GWSL restarts... Do you have the new wsl? If you get the builtin wsl help what are the available commands... Maybe it did not restart after all O_o

NoozAbooz · 2021-05-21T17:18:32Z

I'm using wsl2

Pololot64 · 2021-05-21T17:21:45Z

I mean in cmd not bash :D

NoozAbooz · 2021-05-21T17:23:03Z

I mean in cmd not bash :D

Ohhh lol... well appratly wsl.exe --shutdown works if you type it in bash though. I'll try a non-beta version of gwsl.

NoozAbooz · 2021-05-21T17:29:20Z

It might of actually worked? I got standard_init_linux.go:219: exec user process caused: exec format error intead of the x11 error

Non beta and beta GWSL have no difference for the error btw. GWSL 1.3.8 is just better in other ways

It might of actually worked? I got standard_init_linux.go:219: exec user process caused: exec format error intead of the x11 error

hmmm

Seems to be docker related

NoozAbooz · 2021-05-21T17:34:04Z

Oh... ripp

NoozAbooz · 2021-06-12T19:21:07Z

Just a quick question, gwsl does support openGL apps right? I've recently gotten a dockerless build of the game using qemu which I think might work better.

Pololot64 · 2021-06-14T02:56:01Z

It should. It works very well for me

NoozAbooz · 2021-06-16T04:04:29Z

Also sorta unrelated but is GWSL compatible with Wsl 1? Something broke hyper v on my PC which means I can only run WSL 1.

Pololot64 · 2021-06-16T11:45:47Z

Yes, as long as you have the latest wsl updates for windows 1903 and up, you can use wsl 1. So if you had 2 and just made a new machine with one it will work.

NoozAbooz · 2021-06-21T02:15:50Z

Yes, as long as you have the latest wsl updates for windows 1903 and up, you can use wsl 1. So if you had 2 and just made a new machine with one it will work.

Alright, so I tested the game on WSL 1 and it crashed with [ERR]: (Media Layer Proxy Server) Unable To Open Maximum Pipe Size File, I believe it's a issue with WSL 1's inaccessible GPU which the game needs to run.

Instead, I tested it on a different device that could run WSL 2, and lo and behold the game runs! One issue is that sometimes, the game window will randomly close, but the game itself is still running in terminal and doesn't crash,

Pololot64 · 2021-06-21T03:43:33Z

Much better still though lol
