Just re-upping this message in case anyone has any ideas. :)

Hi all,

I've successfully downloaded Freesurfer version 7.4 and can run its commands, with the exception of Freeview. I downloaded and installed Xming, like the FreeSurfer instructions tell you (https://freesurfer.net/fswiki/FS7_wsl_ubuntu), but this does not seem to work, either. I am using Ubuntu on a Windows computer. I get the following error when I run the freeview command :

This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, webgl, xcb.

Aborted

Best,

John
