[SOLVED] x11 forwarding via ssh

[BEElieve]

Hey,
i have a problem on my pve host.
After migrating several physical servers to the new pve server he is now the only physical server left so its my only way of connecting my ups.

Installing my ups software is easy enough via command line, but the documentation is so spotty, that i cant for the life of me figure out how to configure the software without the usual gui. I have configured the same software on other servers without a gui through x11 forwarding via ssh, but on proxmox this doesnt seem to work, because maybe im missing a paket im not aware of.

Does anyone have any advice on how i could solve this issue.
Any hints are much appreciated.

It is an authentication problem. You have to install the package xauth on the server

and probably anything else related to a GUI, PVE has only minimal X11 packages installed

First of all, thanks for helping.

xauth was installed, probably along with x11-common and x-11 utils, which i had tried already.

Today it suddenly worked without changing anything, so i guess it was those 2 x11 packages.

Again, thanks for the help.
