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:

  1. Verify WSL Installation

Open PowerShell and run:

wsl --install

Make sure WSL 2 is installed and your Linux distribution is set up.

  1. Set DISPLAY Environment Variable in WSL

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.

  1. Run the Updater Command from Windows

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.
