No GUI in WSL2 Windows 10

Post by JimmyGos »

Hello, I've fresh installed windows, WSL2, Xlaunch, Ubuntu and Python 3.12.3. I know Xlaunch is set up and working because I can open gedit, but when I run neurodemo I get the command line feedback I should but no windows appear:

NEURON -- VERSION 8.2.7+ HEAD (34cf696c4+) 2025-05-21
Duke, Yale, and the BlueBrain Project -- Copyright 1984-2022
See http://neuron.yale.edu/neuron/credits

loading membrane mechanisms from /home/james/python-code/neuron-code/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/neuron/.data/share/nrn/demo/release/x86_64/.libs/libnrnmech.so
Additional mechanisms from files
"cabpump.mod" "cachan1.mod" "camchan.mod" "capump.mod" "invlfire.mod" "khhchan.mod" "mcna.mod" "nacaex.mod" "nachan.mod" "release.mod"

entering python and typing "from neuron import h, gui" also gives no errors but opens no windows.
