Hello,
For an application I need to run simple batch scripts using GIMP. Once the command is executed, the error I get is:
Cannot open display:
It seems that even using the --no-interface flag it requires a display.
What might be the best way of solving this with minimal impact on CPU/Mem usage? I do not need to personally see the display, it should only run for this batch script.
Thank you!

Hey, @PSNick
I can see that you’re running this on Ubuntu droplet/server. May I ask if you’ve checked if X11Forwarding is enabled in the sshd config? /etc/ssh/sshd_config
X11Forwarding yes
Let me know how it goes.
