Error: Unable to initialize GTK+ Is Display set properly?
 
Hello,

I am using putty through my windows machine to access a linux server and when I try to execute a script I am getting the error "Error: Unable to initialize GTK+ Is Display set properly?" I tried exporting the display varialbe but still getting same error. I have enabled the "X11Forwarding yes" in sshd_config file as well.

You have tried with

Code:
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0

and

xhost +127.0.0.1

I had used export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 and tried executing the script but again the same error. I am not able to use "xhost +127.0.0.1" I get
xhost: unable to open display "127.0.0.1:0.0".
