Unable to launch Xschem #173

Hi,

I am in the last step but when I try to launch xschem, it does not launch the xschem window and shows this.

Can you please help me ? What do you think I should do next ?

StefanSchippers commented 5 months ago

Try to run any other linux graphical application, like xterm, xclock, xedit, (install x11-apps package: sudo apt install x11-apps) If xschem does not open a window this means no Xserver is running. Try to see if DISPLAY variable is defined: echo $DISPLAY If nothing is returned try to set it up: export DISPLAY=:0 but likely no Xserver is running.

Yess you are right no Xserver is running. How do it get Xserver running ?

I tried to install Xservers by :

sudo apt-get install xorg sudo apt-get install openbox

But that does not fix my problem.

If you are running a WSL linux under windows do some research. I think lot of people are using this setup, but I don't have a windows machine.
