Spyder: can't connect to X server

[cchu08]

Description of your problem

Everytime I run spyder from the command line it keeps giving me this error: "Spyder: cannot connect to X server"
What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. ~$ spyder
2. Spyder: cannot connect to X server

I'm running Python 3.5 Anaconda on Windows Subsystem for Linux (Bash on Ubuntu on Windows)

That's not a supported platform by us, sorry :-(

So you're on your own to make things work. Here are some tips to do it:

It is working fine for me,

better run commands from cmd or powershell,
bash
just use
export DISPLAY=:0.0
then type
spyder

i recommend using xming,

I also installed anaconda distribution, so, spyder was already packed in.

my sys is windows 10. I am using WSL

spyder with python 2.7 works.

spyder with python 3.x, a.k.a spyder3 does not, complains that the server (Xming) dors dot support Xinput 2
