Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.22000.0
Your Distribution version: Ubuntu 21.04
Your WSLg version: Windows Subsystem for Linux WSLg Preview 1.0.26 (is this it?)

Steps to reproduce

Microsoft Edge:

It runs full screen, and everything works, the I try exiting full screen/resizing, and I can't input anything anymore. It just hangs and I need to close it.

Firefox:

  • sudo apt install firefox
  • firefox (or MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 firefox)

It usually works, but it always freezes before I finish my work, it just stops accepting input then the WSL GUI Window can't be moved or closed. The only way to fix it is wsl --shutdown

Firefox WSL logs:

weston.log
pulseaudio.log
versions.txt.txt

Others

I also tried to run other GUI apps, they all evetually freeze.

Expected behavior

Not freeze.

Actual behavior

Freezing.

@alansikora, thanks for reporting the issue. Regarding to the issue with Edge, it sounds close to #272, if you haven't tried, try disabling GPU or run in Wayland native mode. For firefox, I have not heard/experienced such issue. If it only freeze firefox, please take core dump of firefox, or if entire WSLg is freezing (including other Linux GUI app), please do below to take core dump of weston running system-distro.

1: From Windows's command prompt, run "wsl --system" (note it's double minus)
2: It launch bash in system-distro, type "tdnf install gdb"
3: then find pid of /usr/bin/weston from "ps -aux"
4: then "gcore [weston's pid]".

Thanks!

I also have the same problem with GitKraken. Every now and then it doesn't respond. I notice this because the context menus usually opened by right click no longer open. At that point the GUI stops responding and if I try to close the window it won't close. Only solution: wsl --shutdown.

I followed the steps described and this is the output shown by the console. Did I do this correctly?

@slagbat @f-liva, do you mean right click context menu is the one in below screen shot? I looked at core dump at #643 (comment), but unfortunately, I didn't find any clue.

@Poly-Pixel, @alansikora, I can't reproduce the issue with firefox or Edge either.

For me, I can use GitKraken for a short period of time and then it'll just stop working. I won't be able to move or resize the window or use any of its features. This also happens with Chrome too so I think it's just a general issue for me.

Update:

@hideyukn88 GitKraken just crashed on me so I tried to do a core dump but it's frozen doing that too! Sorry, I know that's probably no help at all!

To me this seems to be a random effect which only occur on mouse right-clicks. I use Firefox, Eclipse and Smartgit in WSL-ubuntu. When the problem occures, all currently open wsl windows freeze and cannot be closed. The only way to get rid of them is to restart wsl.
I use ubuntu 20 and windows 11.

On further investigation this does only seem to happen to me when I right click for the context menu in Gitkraken and then select an option on said menu with a left click. Then everything freezes on all WSL GUI apps!

I have the same problem. I tried to take a core dump, but it hangs... I tried to kill the core dump and restart it without any result.

In a first "wsl --system" session:

I closed the terminal and reopen a new "wsl --system" session:

This issue has become the biggest blocker for continuing using WSLG for me. How can I contribute to debugging the root cause of this? It happens to me every time I try to resize my windows that are running in almost 4k resolution. I feel like there must be some overflow, race condition or bandwidth issue.

ParhamG commented Jun 14, 2022

WSLG is also freezing for me from time to time, mostly using JetBrains's PhpStorm, but when it freezes, it is all WSLG apps and not only JetBrain (e.g. Files as well). Also gcore [weston pid] hangs with no output.

I've tried this again with the same result as before and that is getting the gcore output is frozen on the command line. Here's a screenshot for good measure:

Not sure whether it is the same issue. When I use PHPStorm or Goland in wslg, they often stuck on mouse event when I open a new IDE window, but I still can use keyboard to control them. Only fix is wsl --shutdown.

Same issue here, when I open PHPStorm/WebStorm it does not freeze but I can't do anything with my mouse, If I press "Tab" or run any keyboard shortcut the application will respond, but clicking on anything with my mouse will not work.
Tried on Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04 and 22.10.

@SFurnace, @lucasctd, @vermi0ffh, I have a few questions, when the mouse issue occurs, 1) does mouse still work with other Linux GUI applications? 2) Is the PHPStorm IDE window maximized? 3) Do you see any mouse activity with xev or xtrace? thanks!

For me personally, once the issue happens all Linux GUI apps stop responding. I normally only have Gitkraken and Chrome running as Linux apps but both become unresponsive and I'm unable to close either of them.

I'm not sure how to see the mouse activity with xev or xtrace as I'm a bit of a Linux novice!

It looks like I have a really more stable WSLg recently. Since the begining of the week, no freeze at all.
I have some problems of stuck keys (I clic on a window, and a key I pressed keep repeating spontaneously. I juste press it a few times, and it stopped).

For the interface freeze, I removed some strange wacom driver present on my computer. It was an old driver (2009). Since it's removed, no more freeze (yet). I'll comment if it happens again, but maybe de problem is driver-related !

@RiccardoManzan
Copy link

I observed that if you launch docker desktop and your containers before launching intellij (or phpstorm or whatever) the freeze it's less likely for everything to stop.
I am trying to keep a gedit window open while using intellij in order to check if all apps stop working or if just intellij does.

ParhamG commented Sep 8, 2022

For me, it was not only freezes with PHPStorm but also other issues like menus not staying open and having to keep the mouse pressed down and then move to a submenu item and release it, and some other random issues. I switched back to WSLD+VcXsrv and that has been working perfectly fine.

@vermi0ffh

I just had a freeze. Phpstorm was fullscreen, and I clicked the button to make it windowed. Just after that, it froze.
I tried to launch firefox from the prompt, it did not work.

Here is the dmesg of both the system vm and the ubuntu VM running PhpStorm :

🟢 I had the same problem and finally found a brilliant solution:

  • Follow this very easy tutorial to setup an X server on your machine: https://chuckdries.medium.com/installing-gitkraken-in-wsl-2-15bf6459f823 -> I personally skipped the firewall part, it took me 15 minutes max.

  • Open a cmd shell (Win+R), type shell:startup and put the config.xlaunch file that was created previously in the startup folder that opened. This will execute the file automatically on startup, starting your X server👏

  • that's it, no more pain.

So in the end, in the /home directory of my Ubuntu file system I added 3 lines in the .bashrc: file :

export DISPLAY=$(cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep nameserver | awk '{print $2; exit;}'):0.0
export GDK_SCALE=1
alias gk='gitkraken' # Cadeau 🎁

The result is actually better than the wslg proposed by Windows, now your Linux apps eg: Gitkraken will use your usual Windows UI and resize/snap perfectly 👌
I did the change one week ago and I had ZERO issues since then while working 9 hours a day.
Before that, my Gitkraken would freeze at least once a day and I had to shutdown my WSL. To then painfully restart all my npm commands again.

There's no reason this solution doesn't work for you, give it a try,
Commenting your results here would be nice 🎯

ℹ️
The X server is typically the provider of graphics resources and keyboard/mouse events to X clients, meaning that the X server is usually running on the computer in front of a human user, while the X client applications run anywhere on the network and communicate with the user's computer to request the rendering of ..

@JuradoBruno Thanks for this. I have a question. I have configured the xserver as mentioned but when i launch the Linux apps on WSL2 it seems it still wslg is being involved since it is still freezing. How did you force the apps to use xserver?

EDIT: I noticed if i launnch the app from start menu ( i tested qutebrowser) it used wslg but if I run it from terminal it uses this new xserver. But i prefer to run it from start menu because for some reason when i launch it from terminal then the terminal is busy and i have to create a tab and keep it open for each app i wanna use.

I think Microsoft doesn't want to fix this issue. The WSL2 is designed to work in terminal mode. Microsoft doesn't want to drive the applications development of linux destop. So if you want to use WSL2, but only use it in terminal.

Yeah I gave up as well. My use case was running a linux music app called sublime-music. Due to a very specific usecase, I needed to be able to run that. It does run but then it just hangs and nothing responds. All I can do it kill entire wsl2 for that reason only.

Anyone has any other ideas (short of running a full VM ) ?

Thank you very much. I can see that. It's pretty awesome. Could I please confirm how you started VcXsrv?

  1. vcxsrv.exe -ac -multiwindow -clipboard
  2. run export DISPLAY=$(grep -m 1 nameserver /etc/resolv.conf | awk '{print $2}'):0.0
  3. type google-chrome to start chrome
  4. type url chrome://gpu then tap enter
  5. Now I see the screenshot I uploaded earlier

I got it. Hardware acceleration cannot be turned on using seamless mode, and I have no problem using enhanced session.

I'm guessing if your seamless mode supports hardware acceleration, your chrome browser probably has a white ring around it, which should be displayed via wslg. In Task Manager, you can locate the display as msrdc.exe

@yangli2014 Since my default development environment is Ubuntu wsl2, but after seeing your wsl environment and suspecting that Ubuntu does not support hardware acceleration, I also downloaded a kali test. It turns out the same is true for kali and Ubuntu. Only seamless Windows displayed through wslg have hardware decoding capabilities. In addition, enhanced mode and vnc mode using win-kex under kali linux also support hardware decoding.
