Hello all,
Actually, belay this request for help as I seem to have found the issue. Tried to retrace steps between first successful GUI launch and current error, think on big changes I made. Seems that difference between WSL 1 and WSL 2 is the key. After Ubuntu install, converted to WSL 2 later part of install as per Windows' instructions (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10). Note that WSL 2 seems to have been released a few months ago (early part of 2020).
I had set distribution version to WSL 2 by running this in Command Prompt, followed by a conversion that took a few minutes
wsl --set-version Ubuntu 2
Seems that after doing so, AFNI GUI would not launch.
But tried conversion back to WSL1 and made sure my default distro was WSL 1 using the following in Command Prompt
wsl --set-version Ubuntu 1
wsl --set-default-version 1
Then restarted computer, ran xLaunch again and attempted 'afni' in Ubuntu, met with success.
Thus, seems that so far, best to keep in WSL 1 for Win10 to run AFNI etc.
