SIGSEGV on WSL 2

[ClementNerma]

Problem

When compiling a basic example on WSL 2, the program crashes without displaying anything.

When running it with strace, the process crashes with SIGSEGV (so a segmentation fault).

I don't really know how to fix that, I could give you a complete strace log if that's useful?

Note that cargo build works fine. It's only running that fails.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a new project
2. Add dioxus with the desktop feature
3. Use the following src/main.rs file:

use dioxus::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    dioxus::launch(|| rsx! { "hello dioxus! ­ƒº¼" });
}

4. cargo run
5. Enjoy the crash

Environment:

• Dioxus version: 0.6.0
• Rust version: 1.82.0
• OS info: Windows 11 24H2, WSL 2.3.26.0 with Ubuntu 24.10, kernel 5.15.167.4-1, WSLg 1.0.65
• App platform: desktop

Running desktop in WSL has been tricky. Did you take a look at https://dioxuslabs.com/learn/0.6/getting_started/#wsl?

Yeah I have the required dependencies installed, the DISPLAY env variable set to :0, the latest WSL version + Linux kernel (at least the one available in Ubuntu 24.10).

Still doesn't work. What surprises me is not the fact it's not launching (there could be tons of incompatibility issues in terms of libraries interop and dependencies) but the fact that it crashes silently with a segmentation fault.

• dioxus version: 0.6.0
