Iced: panics when running Hello World under WSL Debian with VcXsrv

[amberisvibin]

I have WSL Debian running with an x server. Most x applications work fine. When I try to run the hello world, with backtrace on, I get an error that seems to be related to webgpu. The webgpu should not be used in this context. Is there a way to tell iced not use the wepgpu? I looked around but could not find it. Thank you.

Afaik vulkan doesn't work on wsl and therefore wgpu doesn't work either (wgpu is still missing opengl support). I switched to the glow (opengl) backend/feature to work around that and so far it's running nicely in wsl.

[amberisvibin]

That just gives me this error, but I could be doing this wrong.
the package `openscan` depends on `iced`, with features: `glow` but `iced` does not have these features.

[FabianLars]

Oh, I think the current crates.io version is too old for that, not sure tho because I'm using the git version. Is using the git version an option for the moment?

[amberisvibin]

No, let me try that.

[amberisvibin]

That fixed it, thank you!
TLDR: glow (opengl backend) is required for WSL, because vulkan is unsupported.
