OK finally got it working, figured I'd share my struggles. This may be a solution for others which have the problem that the installation and run every thing is ok but there is only black screen. Run with: => gnome-session -disable-acceleration-check I had the same issue on running gnome-session and I realized that it is due to checking hardware acceleration by gnome-session. Has anyone else had similar issues? Would uninstalling and reinstalling gnome be an option? This only happens when VcXsrv is also open. Gnome-session-binary: CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead.

I have been using gnome for quite some time, but since updating to the latest version of Ubuntu (20.04.3 LTS) gnome-session is not working anymore (as in, it returns without actually starting up the desktop environment in VcXsrv). You've been regularly updating your distro, haven't you?

GIT DOWNLOAD DESKTOPR HOW TO
Basic knowledege on how to run GUI apps with WSL 2 (not required but highly recommended).An X server for Windows, such as VcXsrv.Ubuntu 20.04 (other distros not tested).Any forlorn attempts to run it on WSL 2 only resulted in a smoldering heap of error messages. On WSL 1 it could only run using very complicated methods that didn't transfer to well WSL 2. GNOME is one of the more complex - and that means more difficult to run - desktop environments, so for years people couldn't figure out how to run it on WSL 2. Think Xfce looks dated? Want a conventional Ubuntu experience? This tutorial will guide you through installing Ubuntu's default desktop environment, GNOME. I no longer use Windows (except in a VM) so I will not be maintaining this guide anymore. NOTE: If you want the ultimate Linux desktop experience, I highly recommend installing Linux as your main OS.
