I installed Cygwin and also added some useful packages (gvim, nedit, emacs, vim, g++). However, when I run gvim, I get "Can't open display". The same thing happens with nedit. When I did echo $DISPLAY, I showed nothing so I set the DISPLAY to :0.0. I still get "can't

Have you worked through the steps at x.cygwin.com ? –thrig Sep 6 '15 at 17:11 Let me also clarify that I am running Cygwin on my machine, where I am an admin. Yes, I did install the x11 packages, and looked through the x11 issues but that doesn't solve the problem. –John Sep 6 '15 at 17:17 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote Unix GUI programs display through an X server. Cygwin doesn't automatically start an X server.

For complete instructions on using the X11 server, please visit the Cygwin/X cygwin startxwin fails main site and review their User's Guide. For information on Cygwin cygwin xhost itself, see the Cygwin home page. Installing The Necessary SoftwareTo run remote X11 applications, you need to install

an X11 server and an SSH client. Cygwin provides packages for both. For information on how to install Cygwin, please see the ARSC knowledge base article titled Installing and http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/227889/cygwin-on-windows-cant-open-display Using Cygwin. Ensure that you select and install the following Cygwin packages: openssh, xorg-server, and xinit. Starting the X ServerBefore you can use Cygwin/X to display X Window applications, it must be started. To do this, run the "startxwin" utility either in a Cygwin shell or from the XWin icon which should now be in your Start Menu. A http://www.arsc.edu/arsc/knowledge-base/ssh-and-x11-forwarding-us/index.xml white xterm window will open, and you will see the X Window icon appear on the right-hand side of your task bar.Opening an X11-forwarded SSH connectionNext, you need to establish your secure shell connection with X11 support. To do this, add an -X and a -Y flag to your normal ssh connection. For example, a user with an ARSC account named jsmith would connect to an ARSC system named murgatroyd by typing the following into his opened xterm window:ssh -XY jsmith@murgatroyd.arsc.eduIt is easiest to establish proper X11 forwarding using the xterm window that opened when you started the X Server. This is because it sets a DISPLAY variable for you automatically, which is needed by the X Window System.> echo $DISPLAY :0If you would like to establish the connection from your main Cygwin shell instead, you will have to set your DISPLAY manually. Either of these commands will do that.export DISPLAY=:0 export DISPLAY=:0:0Running Remote X Window ApplicationsWith your local X server running, a DISPLAY set, and your SSH connection with X11 forwarding open, you

Once there, I am trying to use X11 forwarding to pop windows onto my computer. The remote system is not the issue since it is a large system that is successfully used by many other users in this same manner. I log into the system via Putty without issue and then run startxwin in cygwin. However, upon running xterm in Putty, I am given the error xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:##.0 where the pound t open display signs are two integers whose value changes each time I log in. I have X11 forwarding enabled in the Putty settings I tried setting the "X display location" to localhost:0 I have ensured to download the X11 package for cygwin I have tried using just startx instead of startxwin I have tried setenv DISPLAY localhost:0 and setenv DISPLAY my.ip.address Unfortunately, the issue persists. I've exhausted my Googling resources on this topic and so I would greatly appreciate any help.

What kind of X software are you running on the Windows computer? –Kenster Apr 7 '15 at 19:18 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 6 down vote Recent Cygwin updates have changed its X server to not listen for TCP connections by default. Instead, Cygwin's X uses (the Cygwin implementation of) Unix domain sockets, and PuTTY (as a native Windows program) doesn't know how to use these. The Cygwin X FAQ and Cygwin mailing lists have more details. My solution was to take the standard Cygwin shortcut that uses startxwin to launch X: C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe --quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "cd; /usr/bin/startxwin" and replace it with a direct invocation of xinit with my desired options (add -listen tcp and remove -auth): C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe --quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "cd; /usr/bin/xinit /etc/X11/xinit/startxwinrc -- /usr/bin/XWin :0 -multiwindow -listen tcp" T
