I am unable to run any of xorg's GUI applications such as xcalc, xclock etc on my local WSL Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS. On running I am getting the following error message: Error: Can't open display: localhost:0
On running echo $DISPLAY, I get localhost:0. I also tried setting export DISPLAY=':0', which gives the same error: Error: Can't open display: :0
Not sure what I am doing wrong here.
Note: I had set export DISPLAY=localhost:0 in my .bashrc as advised by this page when I was trying to perform X11 forwarding from a remote server to my local machine. But now I'm getting an error even when simply trying to run the above mentioned commands on my local machine.

Restarting the terminal did not resolve the issue. However, restarting the machine did somehow resolve the issue.
