GUI Could not connect to any X display #287

When using the GUI set to true I get an error that says:

PuTTY X11 proxy: Unsupported authorisation protocol qt.qpa.screen: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display localhost:10.0 Could not connect to any X display.

I am using Xming server with putty x11 forwarding turned on and all the other ssh_config uncommented, not really sure what is wrong,

It's trying to display the visualization which it can't do if you're on a tty. Disable the visualization and it should work.
