Repro Steps

I am trying to install the Xilinix Vivado Linux web extracter on the WSL2 using the Ubuntu distro. I understand that I need to connect the container to the X server and to do this I need to install a package which makes use of xhost as stated in this link (https://github.com/rycus86/docker-intellij-idea/issues/11), I have installed

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install x11-xserver-utils

then using xhost +local: to allow for all local connections. But this does not return and therefore I can exit this function.

Then set the display: export DISPLAY=172.31.112.1:0 This uses the Windows PC IP address

and when executing the bin file, I get the following error:

ERROR: Installer could not be started. Could not initialize class java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment$LocalGE

Expected Behavior

To be able to uncompress the Xilinix installer properly

Actual Behavior

Results in the following error: ERROR: Installer could not be started. Could not initialize class java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment$LocalGE java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment$LocalGE at java.desktop/java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment(GraphicsEnvironment.java:129) at java.desktop/java.awt.Window.initGC(Window.java:487) at java.desktop/java.awt.Window.init(Window.java:507) at java.desktop/java.awt.Window.(Window.java:549) at java.desktop/java.awt.Frame.(Frame.java:423) at java.desktop/java.awt.Frame.(Frame.java:388) at java.desktop/javax.swing.JFrame.(JFrame.java:180) at h.b.(Unknown Source) at com.xilinx.installer.gui.F.(Unknown Source) at com.xilinx.installer.gui.InstallerGUI.(Unknown Source) at com.xilinx.installer.gui.InstallerGUI.(Unknown Source) at com.xilinx.installer.api.InstallerLauncher.main(Unknown Source)

Hello,

For X11 apps the recommendation is to use wslG since we don't support third party x server.
