| Steps To Reproduce | Go through the normal installation for kali-win-kex and WSL.
kex --sl
you should get the following errors in the log (my error log as an example):

| Additional Information | Removing, Uninstalling, and purging of Kali-win-kex doesn't work or solve the issue either.
I've also tried removing .X11-unix using
sudo rm -rf /tmp/.X11-unix/
That also didn't solve my issue.
Here's the things I tried to fix or solve the issue.
sudo kex --kill
sudo kex --stop
sudo apt remove kali-win-kex
sudo apt purge kali-win-kex
sudo apt-get install kali-win-kex
kex --sl --wtstart -s (This still gave me errors and it still doesn't fix the issue)
This issue is the same for all types and configurations for kex
--win (broken)
--esm (refused to connect to both localhost and container)
--sl (broken and virtual keyboard failed to initialize, including unable to connect)
running normal kex is also broken as you can see this is the result I receive below:
Error connecting to the KeX server.
Please try "kex start" to start the service.
If the server fails to start, please try "kex kill" or restart your WSL2 session and try again. |
