Hi,
I installed the new Ubuntu 18.04 from the Windows Store today. WSL works fine for me, and I followed your tutorial until it got to the point where I needed to edit dbus config. However, I can not find /etc/dbus-1/session.conf. There are instead two directories: session.d, which is empty, and system.d, which has a bunch of unrelated files. Performing a cat * | grep -i listen and cat * | grep -i auth turned up nothing. My graphical setup still works well, I can still run gedit and xeyes, but I keep getting complaints about dbus and connection refused. Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Arjun

This is now located at /usr/share/dbus-1/session.conf

I would like to fix this on my WSL too can you give me directions the steps to fix so that it looks in /usr/share/dbus-1/session.conf instead of /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket:

I get this error when trying to run kde desktop with vcxserv

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure sddm
