You are 1/2 way there from the responses so far.
Note to list: Slackware DOES NOT use systemd.
*part 1*
On "server" the box you SSH into, you have /etc/ssh/sshd_config with
X11Forwarding yes
as root (if Slackware, otherwise what ever Unbuntu uses), do
/etc/rc.d/rc.sshd stop
/etc/rc.d/rc.sshd start
(restart isn't enough).
*part 2*
on "client" create $HOME/.ssh/config with
Host server
ForwardX11Trusted yes
Now you should be able to forward X since the both server and client
trust each other.
ssh -X server
This was tested to work between 2 Slackware boxes. Boxes with systemd
may have other requirements.
