The document discusses two issues encountered while using WSL2 with Ubuntu 20.04. 1. **GUI Display Issue**: The default display manager (gdm) causes screen artifacts when running the Vivado installer. The solution is to install KDE and switch the display manager to ssdm. 2. **Clipboard Issue**: Content copied in Ubuntu cannot be pasted into Windows due to WSL2's limitations. Installing `wl-clipboard` resolves this issue with the command `sudo apt install wl-clipboard`.

1 GUI Glitch#

The default display manager for Ubuntu-20.04 installed on WSL 2 is gdm. By default, when running the vivado installer, the GUI experiences glitches when the page changes, and modifying the scaling does not fix it.

1.1 Solution#

Installing kde and changing the display manager to ssdm will fix this issue.

2 Ubuntu nvim copied content cannot be pasted into Windows#

The reason is that Linux programs in wsl2 cannot directly access the Windows clipboard.
Installing wl-clipboard will resolve this issue.

 sudo apt install wl-clipboard
