To whom this may concern and can help, 

I am currently trying to run Freeview under the Windows Subsystem Linux System. I can successfully download and open images, but nothing seems to be showing on my end (see image attached at the end). 

In order to find out what is preventing the X-server from correctly displaying graphics, I have tried to run the $ xeyes command and the eyes pop up, meaning that the X-windows server is working fine.

Upon checking the WSL Version, I am currently using the WSL version 2.

I have entered the two commands as follows:

$ echo "export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=$HOME/.xdg" >> $HOME/.bashrc

$ echo "export DISPLAY=:0" >> $HOME/.bashrc

Then I exited Ubuntu, and tried to run freeview again (attempting to open a data file T1.mgz.) This still did not produce any image in freeview, although it opened it up. I tried changing the window, contrast, and brightness but to no avail. 

Is there another solution?

Terribly sorry and thank you so much for your time.

Sincerely,

Justina
