Hi, when I try to use freeview on ubuntu under WSL, I’m getting a brief show of a X window and then an ABORT.

 

I’m running in ubunto 22.04 (jammy)  under WSL on windows using an Xming 6.9.0.31

xMing is configured with a X11 server on localhost:0.0

 

I did a clean install of ubunto using:

Cmd> wsl –install ubuntu

 

Then in ubunto:

$ sudo apt update -y

$sudo apt-get upgrade -y

$sudo apt install x11-apps

$sudo apt install xterm

 

I installed freesurfer using:

$sudo apt install ./freesurfer_ununtu22-7.3.2_amd64.deb

 

Then added:

$export DISPLAY=”:0.0”

$export FS_LICENSE=<location of my license file>

$export FREESURFER_HOME=/usr/local/freesurfer/7.3.2

$export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/home/<myaccount>/.xdg

$export SUBJECTS_DIR=<location of subjects>

$source $FREESURFER_HOM/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh

 

$ freeview
Aborted

 

$sudo apt install gdb

$gdb freeview

(gdb) run

 

An Xwindow pops up which is blank/black that has the title “FreeView”.

 

And gdb reports:

 

 

 

I’m sort of stuck… any idea what to try next?
