Description
Hello
I have installed WSL (hopefully version 2) and ubuntu 20.04.
I am trying to install a GUI following many procedures found in the web (SDDM lightDM etc).
all of them fail with an error "could not start display server on vt 1"
running lightdm I get the error "failed to get system bus could not connect : no such file or directory failed to get D-Bus connection
Is there a systematic guide for the installation of a GUI ?
thanks
jac
