Unable to forward X11 graphics from Centos on Vagrant

On my real machine (Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS) I deployed a Vagrant virtual machine and tried to forward X11 graphics from VM to real machine.

For this I added in Vagrantfile such configurations:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config| i = 1 config.ssh.forward_agent = true config.ssh.forward_x11 = true ...

For accessing to my VM I used vagrant ssh -- -X or vagrant ssh -- -Y. But if I try to open any graphical application in VM, I get an error:

Startup Error: Unable to detect graphics environment

How can I fix this problem?

If it matters, the OS on my virtual machine isn't Ubuntu:

$ cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS release 6.7 (Final)

Make sure you have installed all the required packages on the CentOS machine. You can do that simply by installing whole group for X system:

yum groupinstall "X Window System"
