not able to open terminator in bash windows 10

Question

When opening terminator from my bash Windows 10, I am getting this error

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:57: GtkWarning: could not open display
  warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning)
You need to run terminator in an X environment. Make sure $DISPLAY is properly set 

Answer 1

I've done following steps when approached same problem

1. Install VcXsrv for windows and run it.
2. Open bash on windows and run echo "export DISPLAY=:0" >> $HOME/.bashrc
3. for changes of .bashrc file to get append run source $HOME/.bashrc
4. after that you can run terminator -u and use it

Answer 2

First, install xvfb on your server. Assuming you are using apt-get:

sudo apt-get install xvfb

Now, run the xvfb service at a custom display number, like:

sudo Xvfb :5

After that, you can run any application that requires Xinside your virtual frame buffer by exporting the display number and running your application:

export DISPLAY=:5
run_my_application

The DISPLAY is set only for the current terminal session, so keep that in mind when implementing automation for this step.

I solved that problem downloading MobaXterm and I just ran the same using this tool and it works.

My bash contains:

bash -c -l "DISPLAY=:0 terminator -x bash -c 'cd .; cd ../../mnt/c/Users/User/Desktop/; zsh; exec bash' &"
