Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Can't open VirtualBox from Tera Term X11 error Post 302616143 by Corona688 on Friday 30th of March 2012 02:31:54 PM

That error means that VirtualBox can't open a graphical display. Since you've connected to the server with a terminal, this makes sense.

If you want the window to appear on your local machine, you will need to run your own local X11 server(you can install one using Cygwin) and enable X11-forwarding in tera term before you ssh in. Then, when tera-term logs in, it ought to set the DISPLAY variable on the remote side and allow VirtualBox to connect through SSH to your own local X server.

NAME
xrestop - monitor server resources used by X11 clients SYNOPSIS
xrestop -help xrestop [ -display display ] [ --batch ] [ --delay-time seconds ] DESCRIPTION
Xrestop uses the X-Resource extension to provide 'top'-like statistics of each connected X11 client's server-side resource usage. It is intended as a developer tool to aid more efficient server resource usage and debug server-side resource leakage. OPTIONS
--help Show usage. --display, -d <display> Specify X11 display to monitor. --delay-time, -dt <seconds> Time in seconds between taking samples. Default is 2 seconds. --batch, -b Run in batch mode. Slightly more detailed infomation is streamed to stdout rather than the usual curses interface. This mode is intended for debugging a single client with something like xrestop -b | grep -A 14 appname --max-samples, -m <count> Specify number of times to gather and display results. Default is continuous, which can be set with 0 (zero). SEE ALSO
X(7), top(1). BUGS
The X-Resource extension is very new and may not be 100% accurate. AUTHOR
