Pyside on Boot2Qt in RaspberryPi5
-
Hi,
I'm trying to run a sample app using Boot2Qt image on Raspberry Pi device. The Qt launcher is up in the monitor. Followed the steps in this documentation https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython-6/tutorials/embedded/boot2qt.html.
Getting the following error:

@Pritha-Suresh Since you're accessing the device via ssh you need to forward X11 if you want to run a GUI application this way, see -X ssh parameter,
Also the error you get hints that you did not install X11 on the device.
