The login page you display is not accessible to the public. We have information about how to get started with WSL on the public wiki pages, e.g., https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FS7_wsl We talk about installing WSL version 1 and WSL version 2, though it reads like you already have a version of WSL up and running and a version of Linux installed.

With WSL running Linux, you should download the appropriate freesurfer binary linux .rpm or .deb installer and use that to install freesurfer. Those are available per OS (CentOS 7, 8 and Ubuntu 18, 20, 22) via a link on the WSL pages above to here, https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/rel7downloads.

For Freeview to display graphics, you need to install a 3rd party X windows server on your windows host. We demonstrate using Xming but some users have not been able to get Xming to work but have had success with MobaXterm.

WSL is a work in progress and can change without notice when Microsoft automatically updates your Windows machine. We cannot guarantee the current version of WSL, the 3rd party X-servers, and the specifics graphics card/hardware in your computer are all going to cooperate to allow X-windows graphics to work.

If WSL does not work for you, an alternative its to use a different virtualization technology like VirtualBox instead of WSL. We have a pre-installed version of Freesurfer 7.2.0 inside an Ubuntu 18 VM that runs under Virtualbox. That eliminates having to use/install an X-server on your Windows machine. Information about installing VierualBox and running the Freesurfer Ubuntu 18 VM can be found under, https://freesurfer.net/fswiki/VM_67

External Email - Use Caution

Dear Freesurfer developers,

I am writing to you with regard to two issue I would like to address:

1. I subscribe to the email list but when I am trying to access the page MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "secure-web.cisco.com" claiming to be https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/NMRAuth/GLOBAL/LOGIN I got the following error

<pastedImage.png>

2. I installed Freesurfer on a WSL2 environment on my computer Windows 10. Neverthless, I am unable to run the freeview command. I looked into web for solutions related to the error I got which is the following

freeview.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libvtkverdict.so.5.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Following what I found on the web, I run the following commands
$sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/ppasudo 
apt-get install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqtcore4 libqtgui4
and I get the following errors

base) root@GBW-L-W3359:/usr/local/KUL_apps/freesurfer# cd bin/

(base) root@GBW-L-W3359:/usr/local/KUL_apps/freesurfer/bin# ldd 'freeview.bin' | grep not

I was wondering if you could help me in solving this issue.

Thank you in advance,
