I've used Xming and have had good luck with it in the past. Fortunately, there are many X servers that run on Windows some of the more popular free ones are Xming, Cygwin X, and vcXsrv.
To use WSL with graphical programs, an X server will need to be installed on the Windows 10 system and the DISPLAY variable will need to be set in Bash. To be more precise, you'll be able to display graphical programs running in WSL on a Windows 10 desktop by using an X server which runs on Windows 10. Bash on WSL is intended for running command-line programs that developers might need, but it's possible to run graphical Linux desktop programs on Windows using the Bash shell. Microsoft doesn't support graphical programs on WSL. To install and use dropbear do the following: #sudo apt-get install dropbear Note: If you're having difficulty getting OpenSSH Server running, you can always try another SSH server such as Dropbear. The file - /etc/ssh/sshd_config - will need to be edited to add/change the following:Īfter these changes have been made, the SSH service will need to be restarted: # sudo service ssh -full-restartĪny firewalls running on the Windows side will need to be disabled or have a port opened up.įigure 2 is a screenshot of connecting to the WSL SSH server directly from WSL from the Windows 10 desktop using PuTTY, and my desktop using PuTTY. I chose to do the latter and use port 2200 for WSL SSH.Ī few other parameters will also need to be changed in the OpenSSH configuration file.
Windows 10 comes with an SSH server, and it will either need to be disabled or the port that will be used for SSH on WSL will need to be changed. #sudo apt-get install openssh-server Figure 1. Fortunately, WSL comes with apt-get, making it a trivial process to install the full version:
