xpra, xpra2 and xvfb not showing window

[kumikooumae]

X server options xpra, xpra2 and xvfb does not pop up a window for me. And I installed xpra on host and add --xc=no, it didn't work either. However I can start the container with printenv, start xpra server on host with env, connect xpra client on host to the server, and see the window. x11docker.log

Thank you for the report! I have fixed the issue and have made a new release 7.4.1 including the fix. There was a bug checking the progress of xinitrc preventing xpra to start. You can install it with x11docker --update.

For Xvfb it is correct that you don't see a window popping up. It is a virtual X server without visible output. It can be used e.g. for custom setups with xpra or VNC.

Still getting error for --xpra at 7.4.1. --xpra --xc=no and --xpra2 works for me now.

Thank you for your thorough testing! I have fixed this in the master/beta version

The issue was that x11docker wants the xpra client to use Wayland if available, but was not set up correctly (environment variable GDK_BACKEND=wayland was needed). Your desktop provides Wayland and X11/Xwayland, Gnome 3, I assume.

Thanks, it works
