ROS Unable to open rqt_graph in ubuntu 20.4

I am trying to run rqt_graph in ubuntu 20.4 and getting this error.

    Traceback (most recent call last):

    sys.exit(main.main(sys.argv, standalone='rqt_graph.ros_graph.RosGraph'))

I have tried reinstalling the libqt5 packages but to no avail. I tried this solution in stackoverflow using sudo strip ROS Problem: libQt5Core.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After running that, i am getting a new error. enter image description here

Does anyone have any solution to solve this issue

Solution

  • I was able to resolve the issue by updating from wsl 1 to wsl 2.The updating process took around half an hour.
