I installed lightdm for my xserver, what does my DISPLAY env var need to be on my PC to run xterm?

$
0
0

I am using WSL-2 and Ubuntu 20.04

I want to run xterm from my ubuntu 18.04 command line. I am running csh. I have installed lightdm as the x-server (is there a better one?) and start it with "sudo service lightdm start". I do "set env DISPLAY :0.0: but xterm says it cant open display 0.0. I have tried using the PC name as in "set env DISPLAY name:0.0" but that does not help.

What all do I need to run/install and/or define to run xterm?
