Remote Desktop feature dont work

[st3rven]

Describe the bug

Hi! I’m just starting to use Exegol and I’m having trouble using the remote desktop option. The port appears to be listening on my host machine, but I can’t access the service.

Environment

• Host OS: MacOS
• Docker Destop: 4.31.0
• Exegol version: 4.3.4
• Image: nightly - v.53b086e1

Evidence:

• Container start

• Curl from host

• Host: port is listening

• Container: Any service is listening

Hello

Can you check if the virtual desktop process are running ? Run ps -faux inside your container to check. If there is none, try to run desktop-start and screenshot the output to see if there is any error

Thank you

Hi @Dramelac,

the process is not running, and when I tried to execute the mentioned command I receive the following error message: assertion failed [rem_idx != -1]: Unable to find existing allocation for shared memory segment to unmap (VMAllocationTracker.cpp:745 remove_shared_mem)
