Hi,
I have been trying to install Qiime 2 studio on my Windows 10 computer using Ubuntu. On the final step trying to launch the Interface using nmp start this Message was recieved.

I have tried reinstalling, do you have any other suggestions?
Hey there @charlotte.nilsen! Are you using Ubuntu 18.04 on the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)? I just recently upgrading our Virtualbox images from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 and learned that there were a few dependencies that Ubuntu used to ship with, but doesn’t as of 18.04:

Sorry I didn't pick up on this in the initial post.
q2studio will not be able to start because there is not a corresponding X server for it to communicate with (this is how graphics show up on Linux typically). WSL is essentially a "headless" environment, which will work fine for almost anything as long as you don't attempt to draw a graphical UI.
This guide suggests it may be possible to run GUIs on WSL after some tinkering:
But I don't know how well that will work as I haven't tried it myself.
Are you familiar with X-forwarding or is this all new? It would be a good learning oppurtunity, however don't get discouraged if it doesn't seem to be working as X servers and forwarding X sessions is a really complicated thing that even a lot of programmers are unfamiliar with.
Another option would include using VirtualBox (which conflicts with the Hyper V system that WSL uses, so you could only use one or the other between system restarts).
