Error: Xvfb program was not found

[jots]

running ./nimwc gives: Error: Xvfb program was not found in /usr/bin directory, please install it

I have noX=true in config.cfg in the firejail section.

Why does it want Xvfb?

[juancarlospaco]

X Isolation.

You have 2 options:

• Install it.
• Disable from the config.cfg setting noX=false and you dont need to install it.

Usually is named xorg-server-xvfb or xvfb on most Linux distros. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you! I had that option backwards in my mind. Now I get:

Mounting tmpfs on /var/lock
Error mounting /lock: fs_var.c:254 fs_var_lock: Too many levels of symbolic links
Error: proc 4901 cannot sync with peer: unexpected EOF
Peer 4902 unexpectedly exited with status 1

I'm running this on crouton on a chromebook. Is this another firejail problem?
How can I disable firejail? I tried nim c -d:firejail=no nimwc.nim but that didnt' do it.

Just remove the -d:firejail from the compile command. Then is Disabled and no Firejail code is on the binary. Everything Firejail is also gone, including its UI.

• -d:firejail = Firejail
• -d:webp = WebP
• -d:postgres = Postgres SQL Server

You can also set everything to false on the config.cfg

[firejail]
noDvd=false
noSound=false
noAutoPulse=false
no3d=false
noX=false
noVideo=false
noDbus=false
noDebuggers=false
noMachineId=false

Thanks. I commented out -d:firejail from nimwc.nim.cfg and it works! I look forward to checking this system out, it seems very cool!
