I am trying to run Google Chrome on the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2). My Linux distribution is Ubuntu 22.04.1. I downloaded Google Chrome by following Microsoft’s tutorial on how to run Linux GUI apps on the WSL (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/gui-apps).
However, when I launch Google Chrome, I get a series of error messages in my terminal (note that Google Chrome opens) and my command prompt disappears as long as Google Chrome is open (it comes back when I close Google Chrome).

I tried:
sudo apt-get install dbus
But, I am still getting the exact same error messages.
I also tried another command that I found online but which I don’t remember. This command caused the error messages about “org.freedesktop.UPower” as seen in the code.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am currently learning front-end development and I am new to Ubuntu and WSL.
Thank you
