GIMP not working with WSL2 via GWSL?
Using the Windows Store app located at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/gwsl/9nl6kd1h33v3?activetab=pivot:overviewtab
A few more details I forgot to mention. I had to setup an auto start for dbus manually, but I don't believe that is the problem.
What happens though is when I start GIMP, it'll load, but once it gets to the default GUI window, it's pretty empty and then seconds later crashes with (x-server is on multi-window mode, otherwise, GIMP will work when on single/fullscreen mode):
gimp: Fatal IO error 0 (Success) on X server [ip-address]:0.0.
(script-fu:10166): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: 15:13:20.998: script-fu: gimp_wire_read(): error
I have the same experience. I have two bits of information to add:
- The X Server crashes, which I expect is why Gimp has the read error and exits.
- Both GWSL and VcXsrv Windows X Server crash (in multi-window mode as TheAlienDrew mentioned).
Same problem pls fix. This is one of the apps i really want to use
Try using WSLg instead, now that Microsoft has its own graphical system implementation.

Good thinking. I installed "Windows Subsystem for Linux Preview" and was able to start Gimp from Ubuntu on Windows 11 v10.0.22000.
