Yes, in my local conf file, i set machine to qemux86 and built for that only. I simply followed the Yocto quick start tutorial/manual. I didn't build for qemux86-64. I could try to build for x86-64 and see if the error persists or not. 74184 3 brownson4u 2017-06-15 06:33:11 +0000 I have just built and then try to runqemu for qemux86-64.

Yes X11 forwarding is enabled over ssh (using Putty). when i echo $DISPLAY, the output is localhost:10.0 Found out by googling that i needed to install an xserver (Xming) on my windows PC. Did that and it's all working great now. Thanks for your helping to point me in the right direction
