MBedit and MBvelocitytool GUI can't open in WSL 2 using Ubuntu 22.04

[teguhsulistian]

Hallo David It's pleasure to know you well, this is Teguh Sulistian as Hydographer in Geospatial Information Agency of Republic Indonesia. I have installed MB-System on Ubuntu 22.04 using windows subsystem. But i found some error when i try to open MBedit and MBvelocity tool. The GUI of this function can't open so the error is " failure to load font using XLoadQueryFont: --fixed-bold-r-normal-13*-75-c-70-iso8859-1 "

I have attached some screenshot of this error. Thank you for your help

Teguh,

You likely are missing some fonts from your X11 installation.

Try sudo apt install xlsfonts

If that does not work then try to update or reinstall X11: sudo apt install org sudo apt install openbox

Discussion of issues with MB-System generally happens on a discussion list at: https://listserver.mbari.org/sympa/arc/mbsystem

The following Discussion list thread from October involves a similar problem: https://listserver.mbari.org/sympa/arc/mbsystem/2023-10/msg00017.html

I hope this helps.

Cheers, Dave

David,

Great the function (mbedit, mbvelocitytool) seems running well, thank you for your helps. For addition i just install some packages such as xfonts-base, xfonts-100dpi, xfonts-75dpi, xfonts-cyrillic

Kind Regards Teguh
