Running X Apps from a Remote Term?

English Applications
#1

Hi,

Having problems successfully running X programs from my remote Putty. How do you solve the “Unable to open display” error message?

Thanks!..

#2

Do I need to run a X Server on my Win7 like Xming or Cygwin/X just to run X apps?

No, you need to use mobaxterm instead of putty :slight_smile:

Actually, it includes an X server, that’s the trick.
