![]() Personally I don't find it useful to start lxsession, starting the X applications on the console is much easier for me. Starting this application on the console will give you the "full GUI" you are looking for: lxsession One special X application is lxsession which will start the standard session manager of LXDE (at least on my Raspbian). "X applications" refers not to X server (which should be started by startx) but applications like xclock, xeyes, and so forth. You should now be able to run X applications from the host on your ![]() In the last sentence of the documentation: ![]() The documentation you linked, states that you have to start X server on Windows, and it does not mention that you have to start X server on Linux. Your X applications will run on the Raspberry Pi but the application will draw onto Windows' Xming X server. You don't have to start the X server of your Raspberry Pi using startx. If you start Xming on your Windows computer, then you already have an X server running. What I want is my full, normal RasPi GUI running in a window on my remote Windows PC. In that case, how do I get to the desktop/GUI on Xming from Windows? Because, even with Xming running, and SSH enabled, I don't get anything but a normal console prompt. This answer says startx is unnecessary, because it starts the RasPi X server, and I am using the Xming server on Windows. Screenshot of what happens with Xming running, and I SSH in and call startx: I want to forward my desktop to my work PC, so that I can play with RasPi at lunch without physically plugging in the hardware. What am I missing? Do I need to open something to see the desktop? Or rather, it runs a bunch of messages which appear to say everything's working, but I get a cursor in my console window which acts like it's in a wait state. However, after I log in, and startx, I get. I've configured PuTTY to forward x11 and told it to place the desktop at localhost:0, according to the instructions here. I've got SSH access, and I have Xming installed, along with Xming fonts.
