Accessing graphics in Ubuntu which is installed as an app in Windows 10 HP

[mgabere]

I have a windows 10 HP tower workstation with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card, in which I installed UBUNTU 18.04 as an app (natively), by following the link:

https://www.howtogeek.com/fyi/windows-10-will-finally-offer-easy-access-to-linux-files/

I can access this graphic card in windows but I cannot access it in Ubuntu. I type the follwing command in the terminal

lspci -k

and I got the following messages:

pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci lspci: Cannot find any working access method.

I also typed: lshw -numeric -C display but it did not return any value.

Please assist me in this regard. Thank you.

As of right now you are not able to access your GPU inside of WSL. This is something that's very highly requested (it's our number 1 request on UserVoice!) and something we're already tracking here in this issue: #829. We're investigating how to make this possible, and will be sure to post any updates as soon as they are available.
