Has anyone figured out how to pipe input to the qemu vm under WSL 2? I've tried all sorts of things, and nothing seems to work.

The included py_autotype.py takes forever, but nothing outputs in the qemu vm as it is running.

WSL 2 does have an X server running (xeyes works).

Update: running the script against gedit doesn't work either... it's not a qemu issue

Keep in mind, nothing SHOULD output while it's running, until you get to the very end and there's a 'hello world' printed.

This being said, the autotype's lethargy severely irks me. But I couldn't make it go faster, as pyautogui kept tripping up. If someone finds a better way (i.e. a way that isn't my first random thought), it will be much appreciated.
