rosrun turtlesim turtlesim_node command

Hello,

I am trying to run the turtlesim_node but I keep getting this error: qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb.

Aborted (core dumped)

I am running ROS on Ubuntu 20.04 on Windows 10. I have tried GitHub and ROS answers but cannot find a solution. This is the tutorial I am using: http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/UnderstandingNodes

Ah just needed more time. For all others trying to run on a Windows Subsytem I used this link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54585668/couldnt-rosrun-turtlesim-turtlesim-node

Install Xming here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/

and then run export DISPLAY=:0
