    Screen resolution with WSL2 & XFCE


    Thanks again, Kari. That would work, but given the rather sluggish performance of this configuration, I shall skip it for now.
    What I REALLY wanted was a good dual boot Windows/Linux system. I usually do that by splitting the disk, and installing Linux on one of the partitions, but my wife's new Dell XPS 13 won't let me do it (it doesn't see the USB I am trying to install Linux from), so I thought I'll try this solution. For now, I think she'll have to stick to Windows 10 ;-(

    Can't Execute Step 5.2 Connect to Ubuntu XFCE desktop with Windows...


    Hi Kari -

    Thanks for your excellent tutorial so well written! I am able to execute all of the steps successfully up to and including 5.1:

    Windows Subsystem for Linux - Add desktop experience to Ubuntu-capture1.png

    Then I try to execute step 5.2 Connect to Ubuntu XFCE desktop with Windows Remote Connection using the windows Remote Desktop Connection:

    Windows Subsystem for Linux - Add desktop experience to Ubuntu-capture2.png

    I get the following:

    Windows Subsystem for Linux - Add desktop experience to Ubuntu-capture3.png

    I click yes and it connects as follows:

    Windows Subsystem for Linux - Add desktop experience to Ubuntu-capture4.png

    When I hit OK, the localhost window goes away and I am back at the Remote Desktop Connection dialog shown above. What could be wrong? Is it because I did not set up Remote Desktop Connection settings correctly or because I am on Windows 10 Home? Can you help?

    Thanks,
    Eddie

    Another failed RDP connection


    I have almost the same problem as EddieH, except the Remote Desktop dialog asks for a user name. If I enter the Ubuntu user name, the process fails there. But if I use my Windows login, I get to the Ubuntu CLI login. After that, dumped back to Windows with no explanation of the problem.

    I found the xrdp log. Thought someone might find it useful.

    Code:
    $ more .xorgxrdp.10.log

    Seems that I am hitting the same wall. After entering the pw, crashes back to remote desktop. Anyone find a solution?

    Found alternate solution


    It works with a different viewer:
    Xfce4 Desktop Environment and X Server for Ubuntu on WSL 2 | Autoize

    A little too well, actually. Every app inside linux shows up as a tab on the Windows taskbar.

    BTW I then try to use Remote Connection to connect and saw this error in the ubuntu CLI. I tried different IPs, ports etc but it won't connect.

    xrdb: Connection timed out
    xrdb: Can't open display '172.29.208.1:0.0'

    If your having the issue with xrdp Login failed for display 0. This worked for me. Would suggest using it after step 4.4.

    Code:
    echo xfce4-session >~/.xsession

    When I hit OK, the localhost window goes away and I am back at the Remote Desktop Connection dialog shown above. What could be wrong? Is it because I did not set up Remote Desktop Connection settings correctly or because I am on Windows 10 Home? Can you help?

    Thanks,
    Eddie
    I was having the same issue, and after banging my own head for a while, I discovered that being in both the "adm" and "sudo" groups causes the issue. I have not yet determined why.

       New #58

    I am experiencing problems at step 4.4. I am on the third attempt:
    1. first -- windows 10 pro x64 2004 version 10.0.19041 build 19041
    2. second -- Instructions said to use latest Windows version; so, against my better judgement, I now have 20H2.Windows Subsystem for Linux - Add desktop experience to Ubuntu-4.png
    3. third -- same version

    After each attempt, I have started over using the instructions given in an earlier post in this thread.


    The screenshot shows the following result for the command:
    Windows Subsystem for Linux - Add desktop experience to Ubuntu-2.png

    However, this is the result that greets me:
    Windows Subsystem for Linux - Add desktop experience to Ubuntu-1.png
    Notice I just start the remote connection with no indication of going through debug.

    I never get to the login:
    Windows Subsystem for Linux - Add desktop experience to Ubuntu-3.png

    On the second attempt I tried pushing through the remainder of the instructions to no avail. Is there any assumed prior knowledge of remote connections which is not addressed, and which may be the cause of my failed attempts? What are my troubleshooting steps to resolve the problem?

    Thanks in advance for helpful advice.

    regards,
    caffeine

    Sorry to hear about your problems.

    To test everything, I removed WSL and Ubuntu from my computer, restarted, and reinstalled WSL and Ubuntu. I then followed the instructions in this tutorial to the letter, as if it was new to me, if I didn't know anything about how it works.

    I had no issues. Desktop experience, everything works like a charm:
    Windows Subsystem for Linux - Add desktop experience to Ubuntu-image.png
    (Click to enlarge.)

    I am very sorry but I cannot explain why it does not work for you.
