Hi!

I an using windows 10.0.17134 and a wsl shell with Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS.

I installed terminator with apt install terminator

Now I am trying to start terminator: terminator

I am getting this error, but I am not really sure what it means and what it wants me to do...

There are two solutions:

  2. install an X-server
