Any suggestions?
Hi I have the same problem than meetKazuki. Any suggestions?
After following your instructions, I get this error on Ubuntu 18.04 with VcXsrv running:

Fixed by following microsoft/WSL#648 (comment)
@caseykey @jo-quin @meetKazuki i apologize for the late reply. I haven't looked at this in ages since i've switched from using Windows with WSL to Macs. It's precisely these kinds of issues & workarounds that drove me away.
@drexler Don't worry! It is quite challenging to work with WSL. I ended up not using WSL for my project.
I am still happily using WSL and looking forward for WSL 2 to be completed!
Here is a couple of Chrome related links which were helpful to me:

It seems like this script can brake the symlink which is used by apt to load the libudev.so.
To fix this locate the real libudev.so on your machine (ls -l /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.*).
On my machine it's /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1.6.9.
Then, override the symlink by running
sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.{YOUR_VERSION} /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1

You had saved my life <3
@kev26 @lackovic Is it possible to use chrome without the chromedriver in WSL, since chromedrivers are said to be installed for WSL2, whereas I'm using WSL1
Sorry, I don't know about WSL1: the best thing you can do is to migrate to WSL2, it is so much better it is really not worth to stay on WSL1.
If it helps anyone,
instead of installing chrome exclusively for WSL (mine's WSL1), here's what worked for me with whatever was installed on Windows:
Since ~/.bashrc references .bash_aliases, use any editor. I'm using nano here:
$ nano ~/.bash_aliases
alias chrome="powershell.exe -Command start chrome"
alias firefox="powershell.exe -Command start firefox"
Without re-starting Bash, just type:
$source ~/.bashrc
Test with alias name:
$chrome

Thank you very very much. Works perfectly
Remove "sudo apt-get upgrade" from line 3 cause it will cause you to ctrl-c it if you don't update regularly, and then you'll have to "dpkg configure -a" it to let it finish... in my case it hands at mysql so i had to sudo apt remove it...
Also, it's probably just easier to "just" setup the install through apt-get instead of dpkg directly. In my case though, that solution forces me to run WSL as Administrator to avoid the chrome startup crash, where it complains about user namespaces being available on the system, but permission being denied for them... I don't know if the above solution suffers from the same problem, but it probably should, since it's related to chrome internals.
