Although Codchi does its best to make the X-Server available inside a code machine (which is a LXD container on Linux), there can be issues with authentication against the host's X-Server. Codchi tries to set the Xauthority cookie. If this fails, you can try to allow all local connections to the X-Server (although this may be somewhat insecure):
xhost +local:
WSL: Failed initializing Driver
Currently, the codchistore file system may get corrupted, rendering Codchi unusable. The error looks something like this:
