Using conemu terminal with Xming

Question

I am using ConEmu which is a great terminal for Windows. I am also using MobaXterm which has a built in X server to allow me to run Linux applications have have their GUIs run on my Windows machine.

What I would love is to be able to achieve the same thing with ConEmu. Is it possible to forward X via SSH on ConEmu and have this work with Xming? I tried loading Xming and logging into my linux machine via SSH from a standard windows cmd.exe terminal in ConEmu but it doesn't work. Perhaps this question is not relevent to ConEmu but perhaps ConEmu has some magic I'm not aware of...

debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
debug2: channel 0: send open
debug1: Requesting [e-mail]
debug1: Entering interactive session.
debug2: callback start
debug1: X11 forwarding requested but DISPLAY not set
debug2: fd 3 setting TCP_NODELAY
debug2: client_session2_setup: id 0
debug2: channel 0: request pty-req confirm 1
debug2: channel 0: request shell confirm 1
debug2: callback done
debug2: channel 0: open confirm rwindow 0 rmax 32768
debug2: channel_input_status_confirm: type 99 id 0
debug2: PTY allocation request accepted on channel 0
debug2: channel 0: rcvd adjust 2097152
debug2: channel_input_status_confirm: type 99 id 0
debug2: shell request accepted on channel 0

Answer 1

[EDITED] : That doesn't work because in the same time, MobaXTermn was running and i was using their X11 forwarding.

sorry

I managed to forward X11 with Cmder (which is based on ConEmu) so I hope this will work !

Once you have lauched your Xming server on your local computer, look for "where" it display it : simply hover your mouse over the Xming notification in your notification tray icon, you will see a number, meaning it's diplayed on locahost:number

.

In example, when using MobaXTerm it is displayed on localhost:11.0.

Once you know that, connect to your remote server as you normally do and on the prompt type

DISPLAY=XMING_ID;export DISPLAY;

where XMING_ID is where you displayed it ( eg : localhost:0.0 or locahost:11.0 )

Then, graphic windows will be forwarded until you close this session. Then repeat. Just remember to launch Xming before your ssh session.

Hope this will help !
