putty errors
I get the following errors when trying to use x11 programs from both xlaunch and putty:
* Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:11.0".
* (nautilus:15337): Eel-CRITICAL **: eel_preferences_get_boolea
* (nautilus:15337): Eel-WARNING **: "nautilus-directory.c: directories" hash table still has 1 element at quit time
Putty Steps Followed:
* start xming xserver first
* set logging printable output
* set keyboard function keys xterm r6
* set ssh x11 forwarding
* ensure save settings has worked
* nautilus --browser --no-desktop /
* Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display "localhost:11.0".
* (nautilus:15337): Eel-CRITICAL **: eel_preferences_get_boolea

That's not a putty problem, but Ubuntu Keramic bug.
Try to upgrade it:
apt-get upgrade

bougui and nopius
Thanks for the suggestions.
Nopius, The get-apt upgrade showed zero updates so we are at the latest there.
Bougui,
I did try first starting xterm. Below is a little more clarity regarding where each error takes place.
putty is run upon starting xming
that is to say that xming is the xserver I am running

Have you ever use your Xserver ?
Or is this problem only with this connecting host ?

host / server are confusing terms here.
I start xming from windows and run putty from windows in order to connect to an ubuntu machine

Yes youre right
Question: From your PC (with Xming and putty) have you been able to connect to any host running linux and start a program like Xterm or nautilus ?
Are you only seeing this problem when connecting to this particular ubuntu machine ?

I can run xterm and nautilus with no problem. They function. The issue is that I need a cleaner solution when demonstrating stuff to folks. I always get those errors and I don't know how to get rid of them. I 'think' that I used to be aware of a way to suppress them but I don't even know that anymore.
Ok then, sorry I have never see Xming ....
The xterm error is only because there a font missing I thnik
It's not nice but it does the trick
Lets try this:
1) start Xming
2) open putty to connect to your linux host
3) in you shell in putty type this:
xterm 1>xterm.log 2>&1 &
This wil start xterm and redirect all output an error messages in a log file call xterm.log and will put the job in background with the &
You can try the same trick with nautilus
nautilus --browser --no-desktop / > nautilux.log 2>&1
Let me know

hmm OK but i'd really prefer to get rid of the errors.
For the xterm it's really a font missing on your Xming install
And has for nautilus when it start it is try to connect to a fully GUI Linux system which Xming does not emulate 100 %
Maybe you should login graphicly on the linux desktop from Xmin
frist enable remote desktop login:
http://www.quietearth.us/articles/2006/08/24/Ubuntu-Enabling-remote-Xwindows
Then check you Xmin on how to use XDM og GDM to login to you linux host.
Other than that I'm out of idea on this, sorry.

If you can tell me how to fix the font issue, that will get at least one of the three errors resolved. I really don't want to have to enable anything on the linux box as those systems will change.
Sorry Xming support is your friend here
Here is a solutoin for cygwin in french http://www.coagul.org/spip.php?article330 but to correct they have install mis font pkg from here
http://www.nomachine.com/download-client-windows.php
But since I dont have Xming I cant tell you more also to enable remote login on linux its almos a 1 click thing and youre destop experience will be a lot better.

I don't see any xming forums or anything??
GNOME gives such noise (KDE gives even mode) on linux itself, it is well hidden in logs, so nobody notices....

I don't have such problem.
If you installed putty from source, try install the one inside your Synaptic Package Manager instead.
