When you used it on the Intel PC, was it also through remote desktop? I did some quick research and I think it is probably related to remote desktop. Is there a way you can test from the machine itself? If not that's fine.
from gwsl-source.
I made tests with different configurations.
a) The newer/Intel based host made no trouble, no matter if GWSL was started locally or through remote desktop. All fine.
b) The older/AMD based host shows a different behavior:
- Starting GWSL locally (I connected a screen after all...) was fine, the programs inside WSL2 (dolphin/konsole etc.) worked fine.
- Starting GWSL through remote desktop fails. Only once (out of many many tries) starting GWSL worked. Then again never. Always showing the same error.
BUT:
I started GWSL locally on the AMD host, then switched to a remote desktop session. It continued working.
So, only "starting" the service seems to fail. If it runs, then it continues working also in remote desktop.
Would be great, if this helps so finding a reason.
Regards.

Hmm. I did some looking around and I have one potential solution. Are you running the store or github version?
from gwsl-source.
At the moment it's the store version.
Should I change to the Github version?
from gwsl-source.
I am uploading a new release now. I don't think it will fix the issue out of the box but I added more configuration options which may help. I can give steps after it is uploaded.
from gwsl-source.
Great, thanks!
from gwsl-source.
I uploaded it. Note that you must uninstall the store version just so they don't conflict. Also, if you have pre-existing shortcuts, they may not work. I am also releasing the changes on the store. They have to be certified by Microsoft though so that would be sometime soon after Monday. If you can wait, that would save needing to uninstall the other but it can be however you want
from gwsl-source.
I moved from store version to the traditional version. I checked that it is now the version 1.3.7.
The behavior is - as you expected - still the same, i.e. starts on local monitor but not on remote desktop.
What could I try to change?
from gwsl-source.
Right click the GWSL icon in the system tray, click Xserver profiles >> Add a profile. Give the new profile any name and in the flags entry box paste "-nowgl -multiwindow" without quotes. Then click add. Right click the menu again, hover xserver profiles and click the name of your new profile. Close gwsl and try the testing again. Sorry. I wrote this in a hurry
from gwsl-source.
Success!
Since using the new profile, GWSL starts from within the remote desktop session and dolphin/konsole etc. work correctly.
Thanks a lot for your turbo-fast help!
from gwsl-source.
Great and no problem! I am glad it works!
from gwsl-source.
Seems solved, hence should issue be closed to avoid confusions?
from gwsl-source.
This one I want to keep open so people know how to fix the issue on their end
from gwsl-source.
Maybe adding a github label would make this visible for others and allow later "house keeping"?
from gwsl-source.
Done :)
from gwsl-source.
As I'm pretty new to this project hence I don't how many such issues have been identified yet.
In case there a several, would it make sense to create a Wiki entry under a section like "Troubleshooting common issues" and move the (condensed) content there?
from gwsl-source.
and link from the manual to this Wiki were it currently says:
"Troubleshooting
Not here yet. But there is alot of material in the GWSL Source Github issues list."
from gwsl-source.
Most of the issues are solved but open for reference so yep. That will be a good idea. The key is when I have time. I am pretty busy
from gwsl-source.
I'd be happy to help, see for a quickly created "prototype" page on https://github.com/mi-hol/GWSL-Source/wiki/Troubleshooting
Any comments or suggestions?
from gwsl-source.
It looks good. Maybe I would add more details like "a) The newer/Intel based host made no trouble, no matter if GWSL was started locally or through remote desktop. All fine.
b) The older/AMD based host shows a different behavior:
Starting GWSL locally (I connected a screen after all...) was fine, the programs inside WSL2 (dolphin/konsole etc.) worked fine.
Starting GWSL through remote desktop fails. Only once (out of many many tries) starting GWSL worked. Then again never. Always showing the same error.
BUT:
I started GWSL locally on the AMD host, then switched to a remote desktop session. It continued working.
So, only "starting" the service seems to fail. If it runs, then it continues working also in remote desktop."
Btw thanks. help is always appreciated
from gwsl-source.
lets continue the conceptual work in new issue 'summarize solved issues as "Troubleshooting Guide" in wiki' #75
