Windows 7 cygwin xterm: Xt error: Can't open display

1

There is no display available when I try to ssh from a Windows 7 system to Ubuntu.

When I do this:

ssh -X -c blowfish-cbc username@IP xterm

I get this error:

xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
xterm:  DISPLAY is not set

I have already tried the suggestions from this AskUbuntu thread and this StackOverflow thread.

1You need Cygwin Xwin Server installed and running in your Windows for doing that. – drk.com.ar – 2014-04-27T15:55:03.020

1ah yes! Actually I did install it but I hadn't restarted my system. After a restart it's working fine. – mindreader – 2014-04-27T19:46:26.583
