Description of your problem
Everytime I run spyder from the command line it keeps giving me this error: "Spyder: cannot connect to X server"
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- ~$ spyder
- Spyder: cannot connect to X server
I'm running Python 3.5 Anaconda on Windows Subsystem for Linux (Bash on Ubuntu on Windows)

That's not a supported platform by us, sorry :-(
So you're on your own to make things work. Here are some tips to do it:

It is working fine for me,
better run commands from cmd or powershell,
bash
just use
export DISPLAY=:0.0
then type
spyder
i recommend using xming,
I also installed anaconda distribution, so, spyder was already packed in.
my sys is windows 10. I am using WSL

spyder with python 2.7 works.
spyder with python 3.x, a.k.a spyder3 does not, complains that the server (Xming) dors dot support Xinput 2
