Make sure you have the environment variables set properly (you can make it permanent e.g. by editing the /mnt/C/sys/etc/profile; for details see the X Configuration post):
PATH variable can possibly contain the /mnt/C/sys/X11/bin/ path:
box# export PATH=$PATH:/mnt/C/sys/X11/bin/LD_LIBRARY_PATH must (among others) contain the /mnt/C/sys/X11/lib path:
box# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/mnt/C/sys/X11/lib/DISPLAY environment variable properly set to a display of a machine running xserver:
box# export DISPLAY=<machine>:<display-number>... or in case you are using putty, X11 forwarding enabled:

xterm is unable to open the pseudo terminal device, it should be OK when deployed to the box (there is no full device mapping on my mirror system; it is just chroot-ed to some sub-directory of hosting system).

However, since the file system is read-only the chmod operation does not succeed and so the terminal device stays readable for everyone.
I was dealing with the same issue during the dropbear build.
Anyway, in case you are using the box on a trusted network with no one "sniffing around" and have it properly secured from the outside world then the warning should not mean any harm. Maybe it could be solved by a change in configuration (or by a slight change in source code), but I am not going to solve it now.

Hello,
I've done exactly what you've guided. Download-ok, Install-ok. When start the testing following error appeared:
/mnt/C/sys/X11/bin/xterm: can't load library 'libXft.so.2'
What's missing?
Hello,
I assume you have the XOrg dependency installed.
Then the problem is probably in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I have updated the environment setup accordingly, or you can look directly at the X configuration post.

Hello Filodej's,
thanks for that helpful Blog!
I had the same error like Anonymous.
I tried the exports of the paths and everyting.
Now I get the message:
/mnt/C/sys/X11/bin/xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s
/mnt/C/sys/X11/bin/xterm: DISPLAY is not set
The hint with:
C:\Program Files\XMing\Xming.exe :0 -clipboard -multiwindow -ac
doesn't work :-(
What can I do?
Thank you so mutch.
Bernd.
Hi,
make sure you set up the DISPLAY environment variable as described in the post:
box# export DISPLAY=192.168.2.1:0
box# echo $DISPLAY
192.168.2.1:0
You have to substitute IP 192.168.2.1 and display number 0 to values specific to your network and X11 forwarding configuration.
Regards,
Filodej
