the part where you get the IP address and put into remote desktop comes back with an error. and won't let me connect. says this IP address is not connected?

Temporary fix on Windows: Go to Settings -> System -> Sound -> Mono sound ON. Don't forget to put it back after watching. Enjoy.

The remote desktop connection cant connect it says 1) Remot access to the server is not enabled 2) The remote computer is turned off 3) The remote is not available on the network

Very nice, but unfortunately it isn’t running via WSLg but you have to use Remote Desktop Connection to get in

Wont connect to xorg. Says password wrong. For display. I know its the right password or i never would of got this far

[NyanCoder]

But I'd warn other fellow devs that wsl2 session is under the nat, so you probably will need vpn to easier connect from lets say phone in the same network as your pc (probably connected to wifi of router that your pc is connected to) to an app running in wsl2
