This is the gtk initialization failed error, I'm gonna work on the windows instructions, have you jumped in the discord? Link on http://sick.chat and we're working on making Windows instructions better

I run on wsl2g Everytime. I launch the docker command from Ubuntu.

I agree. Had issues running it within Windows, but from Ubuntu WSL2, no issues

Hey,

if you used WSL2 under Windows 10 previously and upgraded to Windows 11 via windows update (no clean w11 installation): you need to update your WSL2 VM first.

# Update WSL2 (run powershell with administrator privileges)
wsl --update

# Shut any down all VMs
wsl --shutdown

# Wait at least 8 seconds. See for more info: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl-config#the-8-second-rule

# Start wsl again
wsl

# Test if display output works now
xeyes

# Run your docker container
docker run -it \
--device /dev/kvm \
-p 50922:10022 \
-e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0}" \
-v /mnt/wslg/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \

Hope this helps :)

Worked for me. But before that, I manually switched to WSL 1 and didn’t update from 10 to 11. Thanks!
