I'm trying to start up cool retro term, and am running into an issue. When I run it using "cool-retro-term" in the terminal, the new window pops up, but it's see-through, as in you can see the content in the window behind it and cool retro term isn't displaying anything. I run it in Ubuntu and get the following message:

QObject::connect: No such slot Konsole::TerminalDisplay_QML_62::close()
loadAllColorSchemes
Both point size and pixel size set. Using pixel size.

I originally installed it with sudo apt install cool-retro-term and there were no errors with that. I'm wondering if this might have something to do with Qt? Any insight and how I might remediate this would be supremely appreciated!

  • @guiverc Ah yes, apologies. It's on the Windows Subsystem for Linux, 20.04. – ZapRowsdower Sep 25 '22 at 23:52
  • Please use EDIT and add the info to the question not as a comment. – David Sep 26 '22 at 05:11
  • Also, which Windows version are you using? If Windows 10, what X server are you running? Thanks! – NotTheDr01ds Sep 26 '22 at 14:36
  • @NotTheDr01ds Sorry for the delay, but I'm indeed using Windows 10, running WSL via the Windows Terminal, which I believe utilizes...Cygwin? But don't quote me on that. – ZapRowsdower Sep 28 '22 at 15:38

    @ZapRowsdower No worries. If it's WSL on Windows 10, then there's no support for GUI applications like `cool-retro-term` built-in. (Side-note: No, Cygwin's a totally different thing.) You'll need to use one of the solutions in [How to run GUI apps with Windows Subsystem for Linux (Super User)](https://superuser.com/a/1669770/1210833) or (the much more detailed) [What's the easiest way to run GUI apps on Windows Subsystem for Linux?](https://askubuntu.com/q/993225/1165986) (here on AU). – NotTheDr01ds Sep 28 '22 at 18:09

    I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of [that AU one](https://askubuntu.com/questions/993225/whats-the-easiest-way-to-run-gui-apps-on-windows-subsystem-for-linux) (we get a lot of questions like this), but if you still run into an issue after trying that, let me know via comment and we'll see if we can find you a different solution. Thanks! – NotTheDr01ds Sep 28 '22 at 18:10
