"QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display"

[calufa]

Hi, thanks for the code.

I am having trouble running the code. I successfully compilee the project, but when I try to run ./face_swap_image --cfg test.cfg, I get the following error:

QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display Aborted

I am running the code inside a docker container.

The face swap applications require an OpenGL context to work. This is done using Qt offscreen rendering.

I have no way to test the application in the same environment you do but try to follow this post I think it might help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25281992/alternatives-to-ssh-x11-forwarding-for-docker-containers/25334301#25334301

I ran it on docker too, met the same problem. Finally solved it by switching to a docker image with desktop. Now i successed: It's really cool ! From face detection、face segment、3D models to face swap, that's amazing works ！ —————————————————————————————————————— These are results on my docker container : Under these cases , it performs well :

But the below groups seem abnormal: Group 1: Group 2: Group 3 (profile): Group 4(size between face and nose、eyes、mouth): —————————————————————————————————————— 1、Noticing this https://github.com/YuvalNirkin/face_swap/issues/3 , i don't know whether it could be caused by my no GPU environment and those're just errors occur. So could you please run these pictures on your machine to cheak it？

Congratulation! You got it working! The issue is related to the algorithm as I do get about the same results: This is a problem with the 3DMM fitting as you can see in the left debug image. It has issues with very high resolutions. Resizing the images can sometimes help:

Hi @YuvalNirkin I am running this project on an AWS instance. And getting

QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display 
Aborted (core dumped)

Any luck running it on cloud ?

Thanks Akash

Hi @akashgoyal I haven't tried running the project on a AWS instance but you can try one of the following solutions: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2017/10/amazon-ec2-elastic-gpus-now-support-opengl-4-0-and-available-in-two-additional-regions/

https://comtechies.com/how-to-set-up-gui-on-amazon-ec2-ubuntu-server.html

Please confirm if any of those work for you.

Hi @YuvalNirkin I was trying https://comtechies.com/how-to-set-up-gui-on-amazon-ec2-ubuntu-server.html And I am not able to proceed after step 2.

Is their a way to do this completely command line. Can you suggest on possible code changes ?

[YuvalNirkin]

You can replace the OpenGL renderer with a software renderer.

I sovlve the QxcbConnection Could not connect to display by install XManager and "export Display=:localhost:11.0” in ~/.bashrc

But After that I come across the following question.

QXcbConnection: Failed to initialize XRandr Could not initialize GLX Aborted (core dumped)
