Unable to run Android Studio on Ubuntu (WSL2)

Question

I have one WSL2 Ubuntu where I installed Android Studio in 2 different ways, with the same error. I need to work with flutter.

1st way: I followed this tutorial

2nd way:

sudo snap install android-studio --classic

The error I receive when I try to run android-studio is this:

CompileCommand: exclude com/intellij/openapi/vfs/impl/FilePartNodeRoot.trieDescend bool exclude = true

Start Failed Internal error. Please refer to https://code.google.com/p/android/issues

The error I receive when I run flutter doctor is this:

Answer 1

I was able to solve it with help from ChatGPT!

It was mainly about missing dependencies.

1. Install the library libXrender to communicate with Windows

sudo apt-get install libxrender1

2. Then I modified the file ~/.bashrc adding in the last line the content

export DISPLAY=:0
export XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority

3. Then I ran the command

source ~/.bashrc

Then I received a new error... 4) Then I used sudo apt-get install to install the libraries libxtst6 and libxi6

And then it finally worked!
