As I currently do not have any access to university servers, I am trying to install Freesurfer on my own personal Windows laptop, mostly just to experiment in between doing actual studies.

I followed the FS7_wsl_ubuntu guide, running it on WSL2/Ubuntu 20 and as I am not really that good with computers at all, I was already impressed with myself I got this far... until I hit the error predicted in the guide. I followed the guide's steps to edit $DISPLAY and I have also edited the Xming X0.hosts file to represent my own localhost

Yet I am still getting the same error as before (although I feel the 'No protocol specified' is new...)

maaikeo@LAPTOP-EA4GL46K:~$ freeview
No protocol specified

QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display 172.27.128.1:0
Could not connect to any X display.

I've looked all over and have found numerous threads that slightly relate to this issue, but none of the fixes listed there. I have double checked my Xming install and it is definitely running in the background.. Is there anything I might have missed? Or is this an indicator that my laptop is just not up for the task?
