TMDSLCDK138: Matrix-gui-2.0 not displaying

I have recently started working with the OMAP-L138 LCDK. I am using a VM running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. After downloading and installing ti-processor-sdk-linux-omapl138-lcdk-06.01.00.08-Linux-x86-Install.bin I created a SD card using the included script with the default file system tisdk-server-rootfs-image-omapl138-lcdk.tar.xz.

The LCDK appears to boot correctly however I am unable to get the Matrix gui to display on the connected VGA display.

The boot log in my PuTTY terminal shows that the matrix started:

...
         Starting Matrix GUI...
...
[  OK  ] Started Matrix GUI.
...

Stopping and starting the matrix manually does not appear to have any effect:

root@omapl138-lcdk:~# /etc/init.d/matrix-gui-2.0 stop
root@omapl138-lcdk:~# /etc/init.d/matrix-gui-2.0 start
root@omapl138-lcdk:~# 

systemctl status shows the matrix service as active but exited:

Oct 19 16:00:57 omapl138-lcdk systemd[1]: Started Matrix GUI.

Stopping and starting the matrix with systemctl results in an error:

root@omapl138-lcdk:~# systemctl stop matrix-gui-2.0
root@omapl138-lcdk:~# systemctl start matrix-gui-2.0
Failed to start matrix-gui-2.0.service: Unit weston.service not found.
root@omapl138-lcdk:~#

I am fairly new to Embedded Linux so any help would be greatly appreciated!
