I have just started to work with ROS. I have installed ROS Galactic which is supported by Ubuntu installed on Windows 11. On executing ros2 run turtlesim turtlesim_node, the turtlesim executes but it is not possible to open it. Can someone help me if I am missing something here?

Output on executing the ROS command

QStandardPaths: wrong ownership on runtime directory /mnt/wslg/runtime-dir, 1000 instead of 0
[101] turtlesim_: selected interface "lo" is not multicast-capable: disabling multicast
[turtlesim]: Starting turtlesim with node name /turtlesim
[turtlesim]: Spawning turtle [turtle1] at x=[5.544445], y=[5.544445], theta=[0.000000]

Thank you.

The problem seems related to QT library. I found similar questions: here and here. Let us know if the problem persists.

The fist link is a puer windows problem, here we have Ubuntu in wall. Are you able to run a Linux GUI programm, if not you have to fix this first. It seems more a wsl error
