I'm trying to run the installer, but it appears to require X11. This is in an lxd container on ubuntu. I got vanilla minecraft working easily. However, when I run the jar file for forge installer, it tells me I need X. Is there any way to install forge without installing an X server?

The installer accepts command line args, you can check them with --help

Though I can tell you right now that --installServer is probably what you want

This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.

Reveal hidden contents

Logs (Most issues require logs to diagnose):

Reveal hidden contents

Please post logs using one of the following sites (Thank you Lumber Wizard for the list):

https://gist.github.com/: 100MB Requires member (Free)

https://pastebin.com/: 512KB as guest, 10MB as Pro ($$$)

https://hastebin.com/: 400KB

Do NOT use sites like Mediafire, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, or a site that has a countdown before offering downloads.

What to provide:

...for Crashes and Runtime issues:

Minecraft 1.14.4 and newer:

Post debug.log

Older versions:

Please update...

...for Installer Issues:

Post your installer log, found in the same place you ran the installer

This log will be called either installer.log or named the same as the installer but with .log on the end

Note for Windows users:

Windows hides file extensions by default so the installer may appear without the .jar extension then when the .log is added the log will appear with the .jar extension

Where to get it:

Mojang Launcher: When using the Mojang launcher debug.log is found in .minecraft\logs.

Curse/Overwolf: If you are using the Curse Launcher, their configurations break Forge's log settings, fortunately there is an easier workaround than I originally thought, this works even with Curse's installation of the Minecraft launcher as long as it is not launched THROUGH Twitch:

or alternately,

Fallback ("No logs are generated"):

If you don't see logs generated in the usual place, provide the launcher_log.txt from .minecraft

Server Not Starting:

- [1.21.8 | Forge 58.0.5] How to cancel InputEvent.MouseScrollingEvent?
  
  By Zacomat · Posted 4 hours ago
  
  On Forge 58.0.5 (MC 1.21.8), InputEvent.MouseScrollingEvent is marked cancellable (implements Cancellable, uses a CancellableEventBus), but the event type does not expose setCanceled(boolean) or cancel() from a @SubscribeEvent listener. What’s the correct way to cancel this event (or otherwise block vanilla scroll behavior) from mod code? Can someone plz point me in the right direction? Thx

  There are a bunch of fabric mods listed in that log. And others as well. Try removing all that and see what happens, if it still crashes, post a new log.

- ATM 9 server failing. Debian linux server, spark/memory java issue
  
  By NoodleKiller · Posted 9 hours ago
  
  So I am trying to run a server for All the mods 9 to the sky on a cloud server running debian 12 bookworm. My fabric and vanilla servers run fine, with a little tweaking. I haven't been able to get this on to work, I suspect I am missing something obvious though. Obviously it is having issues with spark, but I can't tell if that's what's causing the crash. I have tries adding the enable spark command to jvm arguments but it hasn't removed the issue. Maybe I am putting it in the wrong place, It seems to be setting my memory correctly at the beginning of the log, but SIGSEGV is a memory issue I believe. If anyone could help me with this I'd appreciate it, not great at reading code or logs and working out the problem. picture of failure in terminal fastfetch system info Error log Full log
