X11 forwarding not working
Hi,

I am using Putty, enabled SSH X11 forwarding and entered the X11 display location as "localhost:0". However I encountered the following error:

------------------------------------
[root@localhost ~]# xclock &
[1] 2941
[root@localhost ~]# X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

[1]+ Exit 1 xclock
[root@localhost ~]#
------------------------------------

Any ideas?

It looks like there is no X server running on your local machine. What X server are you using?

He may not have realized putty does not include a X server.

Hi guys thanks for the suggestions but I solved the problem. I simply need a X emulator (e.g. X-Win32) on my Windows laptop to solve the problem.

There are no problems on the linux machine, just need to export the display to my windows pc for things to work. Forgot the fact that windows cant display X :P

linux# export DISPLAY=<winpc_ip>:0
linux# xclock &

Works perfectly, can see the clock on my windows PC

Exactly, you needed an X server.
