[Blender] unable to start process,

[cenit]

• Windows Build 16299.125
• Trying to launch blender (for debugging purposes on problems I am seeing on a real Ubuntu machine)

$ blender
connect failed: No such file or directory
could not get a list of mounted filesystemts
Assertion 'pthread_mutex_unlock(&m->mutex) == 0' failed at pulsecore/mutex-posix.c:108, function pa_mutex_unlock(). Aborting.
Aborted (core dumped)

• What's wrong: blender does not start
• Strace: no more informations given by strace for this problem

seems related to #1006

... failed at pulsecore/mutex-posix.c:108, function pa_mutex_unlock()

Is #1006 #486. You can follow the instructions here and see how blender fares. If you run into display issues after getting over the PulseAudio blocker, try running Blender remotely from a Real Linux VM using llvmpipe (as opposed to Intel/NVIDIA/AMD DRM drivers) to VcXsrv on Windows first, so you have a baseline. Also include your use-case for running blender on WSL as opposed to Windows will help. Bonne chance.

Amusingly, blender does work (for some value of working). No one would do that, mind. But does paint. This is on 17063, but I'm pretty sure FCU 16299 would be okay too. OpenGL stuff has been okay since someone tried OpenRTC2 back in October 2016.

since it was just for debugging purposes when a linux machine was not available, I will not proceed with your suggestion. Honestly I don't want to install the full ubuntu desktop on WSL just for this task.
Thanks anyway for your help
