Hi, I am trying to run Slic3r on WLS with Ubuntu 18 as the chosen package. Installing everything went quick and without any errors. I've installed slic3r with sudo apt-get slic3r and it installed right away but I have no idea where it has been installed, also freeglut and VcXsrv for viewing Slic3r in win10 has been installed and working. I have located the .Slic3r folder and slic3r.ini file but where is the slic3r.exe file located? I can't find it and hence can't start slic3r from the bash terminal. Are there hidden files? How can I launch Slic3r from the terminal? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,858879,858879#msg-858879 Thu, 12 Mar 2026 09:26:02 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,858879,858926#msg-858926 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,858879,858926#msg-858926
I used alot of different manuals to install this and ended up with

export DISPLAY=:0
DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
where I deleted the export DISPLAY=:0 in nano editor and it worked.
thnx for the assistance.]]> Mendel90 Slic3r Wed, 04 Sep 2019 10:58:09 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,858879,858915#msg-858915 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,858879,858915#msg-858915
It looks like the XWinrc file is indeed the issue and Slic3r will open in the X window but immediately close again.
Surely it's not the goal to start writing this RC file myself... I was thinking this file is maybe sitting in another folder but can not seem to find it.
There is a system.XWinrc file but I don't think it is alowed to use this file and copy it as I read I can't modify any Ubuntu files in Windows.]]> Mendel90 Slic3r Wed, 04 Sep 2019 05:56:16 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,858879,858904#msg-858904 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,858879,858904#msg-858904
Why not just install a Windows version of Slic3r?]]> frankvdh Slic3r Tue, 03 Sep 2019 23:44:44 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,858879,858897#msg-858897 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,858879,858897#msg-858897
