I could be able to run Makie, say plot a simple line, by executing the Julia code in WSL 2. However, when I tried to run the same code with VS Code REPL, it didn’t work. So, I decided to give Persistent Session a try. I set the shell to my bash shell (which has already defined the $DISPLAY so that it can show GUI through X server). But still not work, below is the error that I got. Note that my OpenGL version in WSL 2 is GL_VERSION = 4.5 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 21.3.0-devel (git-259e26e 2021-09-16 focal-oibaf-ppa). As I’ve said, I can run using external Julia REPL, but not in VS Code. Any solution for this problem? Thanks.
