Please enter this required information for super user.
Some users when installed WSL and setup user name password there is keyboard setting and language issue I think. When user open WSL from powershell sudo commands not validate passwords.
This problem can be solved by closing ubuntu screen when asking password during installation, then WSL will open without asking password (This is not a good option but fast solution) other case you can use the following link to reset your password

what is mlocate - Gentoo Wiki
mlocate is a merging locate and database package. "Merging" means updatedb reuses the existing database to avoid re-reading most of the file system. This makes the database update faster and does not tax the system caches.[1] mlocate can index several file systems including network file systems for network shares. This package is essential when attempting to quickly find documents in a terminal
Installation Command-7
sudo apt-get install mlocate
Installation Command-8
sudo updatedb

Close terminal, and open new powershell with admin privilege shutdown wsl environment. Also check status
wsl --shutdownwsl -l -v
Close terminal, we will start VcXsrv Windows X server installation for create desktop bridge between Windows and Linux.
Close all open terminal also,
Download setup from
VcXsrv Windows X Server download | SourceForge.net
https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/files/latest/download
Install the setup
Open firewall and give permission
Select change settings
Find VcXsrv windows xserver and check private and public network permissions.
If VcXsrv windows xserver not exist in list, Select change settings and enable allow another app button, then browse for
select browse
goto installation directory
C:\Program Files\VcXsrv
select vcxsrv.exe and add to list. if its gives error that already add then find exe from list. That mean you already added this file.
Before running xlaunch be sure that you closed the wsl with --shutdown
You should run xlaunch first
then
You should open wsl with powershell by writing wsl, do not forget to run powershell as administrator privilege
Open Xlaunch from menu
Select Multiple Window
Select Start No Client
Disable Access Control, avoid connection issues
Save Configurations for later use
in the taskbar you will see its running
Open Powershell
Check is there running session
wsl -l -v
if there is running session then shutdown it
wsl --shutdown
Enter wsl
wsl
Enter xfce4-session command (if permission required then use sudo)
xfce4-session
it will log operations on powershell and then will open WSL Desktop
If not connected then reset environment with shutdown and try again during this operation close all open terminals.
If command successfully operated then you will see WSL GUI. In multiple screen setups there are some problems to fit monitor screen sizes

You will see task bar and icon bar
right click them to unlock and move a ergonomic position on the screen default is close windows close buttons.
Select panel 1 from list and uncheck lock panel
also select panel 2 from list and uncheck lock panel
now you can move panels
I recommend to move panel near the windows bar
you click Applications from bar and open terminal
this terminal is linux application not windows application. But window is opened in your desktop.
With this terminal you can also install RDP client via following command to use RDP for connection for WSL environment
sudo apt install xrdpand run service with
sudo service xrdp start you can check all services with following command
service --status-allCheck ip address of WSL environment with
ip addrfor RDP usage you need to enter RDP client from another computer as follow. You should enter IP of your WSL environment
Untill this step WSL and Xfce installed on your computer Step-4 is related with ns3 and you don't need to install it.
Open mozilla firefox and visit Releases | ns-3 to download ns-3 package.
You can also download this package on Windows 10 and then copy via
/mnt/ / <windows 10 folder path> to home folder on WSL.
You can check following sample
ucoruh@LAPTOP-RQNNS9IG:/$ ls
bin dev home lib lib64 media opt root sbin srv tmp var
boot etc init lib32 libx32 mnt proc run snap sys usr
ucoruh@LAPTOP-RQNNS9IG:/$ cd mnt
ucoruh@LAPTOP-RQNNS9IG:/mnt$ ls
c d e
ucoruh@LAPTOP-RQNNS9IG:/mnt$ cd c
ucoruh@LAPTOP-RQNNS9IG:/mnt/c$ cd Users
ucoruh@LAPTOP-RQNNS9IG:/mnt/c/Users$ cd ugur.coruh/
ucoruh@LAPTOP-RQNNS9IG:/mnt/c/Users/ugur.coruh$ lsenter home user directory such as (home/ucoruh) and copy ns-allinone-xx.x package here and extract here with right click then enter folder via terminal and build ns3
cd ns-allinone-x.xx/
./build.py --enable-examples --enable-testsThis approximately takes 20 min.
After build enter ns-x.xx folder and run following command to test environment
./waf --run hello-simulatorucoruh@LAPTOP-RQNNS9IG:~/ns-allinone-3.34/ns-3.34$ ./waf --run hello-simulator
