How to Use X11 Forwarding on Windows or Linux

X11 forwarding can be used to access a graphical application on a remote Linux system. This can be done from a Linux client, or with a Windows client by using Putty and Xming.

I don't really want to use Putty. Can it be done using the ssh client with some additional parameters? Does anyone know what Putty does internally? EDIT: I found "ssh -Y" to work under Windows, but only if the remote machine supports "trusted X11 forwarding". This also requires to manually set the DISPLAY environment variable before calling ssh, however.

Thank you stranger! I never got a successful tech tip from a KZfaq comment before. It also worked for me with the built-in Windows SSH client by using -Y instead of -X.

How do i set the environment varible?

@sebastianzander87 7 ай бұрын

@@arg0x- You simply write it in front of your command, like e.g. "DISPLAY=:0.0 gedit". Search for "$DISPLAY environment variable" on the web to get more information about it, the format of its value is basically []:.

Wow!! This is one of the few straight forward and clear tutorial I have ever gone through on KZfaq. Thanks.

Wow, the timing of this video is quite helpful to me. I'm a bit concerned that the last time the packages were updated on sourceforge was 5 years ago.

hi, when i try to run wireshark on my virtual machine i get this error: ~$ qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb. have you any idea on how to solve this ?

With the current push to kill X11, is this doable on Wayland? I can see this being useful in a enterprise environment, but Redhat (the big Linux group targeting enterprise environments) has deprecated X11 in their distribution

IS the opposite also possible. Say host is Linux and remote is Windows. Can we do X11 forward from Windows to LInux host?

@dmac5678 2 жыл бұрын

so in this scenario windows/linux both cases, who is the client and who is the server? Where does X11 need to be enabled. You stated earlier in the video the X11 forwarding should be enabled on the server that is running (native) the program. Im just confused where X11 has to be running and which is client and server.
