I’m a software engineer at Advanced Instruments trying to install Torizon in a container hosted on Windows 10. After installing the Torizon extension and during the configuration steps I get a blank Torizon window labelled “Torizon on WSL 2” (see screen shot).
I can’t find a way around this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! Thank you for reaching out regarding the blank “Torizon on WSL 2” window issue during your configuration process.
This is a known issue that can occur if your WSL installation or environment is not set up correctly. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the problem:
Open PowerShell and run:
wsl --install
Make sure WSL 2 is installed and your Linux distribution is set up.
In your WSL terminal, execute:
export DISPLAY=$(cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep nameserver | awk '{print $2}'):0
This ensures graphical applications within WSL can connect to your Windows host display.
Open a Windows terminal and execute:
wsl sudo -E /opt/updater/updater.ps1 -User <distro_user>
Replace <distro_user> with your WSL distribution’s username.
These steps often resolve the blank window issue during Torizon configuration. If you continue to have trouble, please let me know so I can share additional troubleshooting tips.

Greetings @ramaral1090,
Could you clarify what you mean by “install Torizon in a container hosted on Windows 10”?
VSCode should be installed in Windows 10. Then, the Torizon extension should be installed after connecting to WSL as instructed here: Set up the Torizon IDE Extension Environment | Toradex Developer Center
Did you install the extension manually or by using the installation wizard?
Best Regards,
Jeremias
