'Unknown X server option --tty'

[adworacz]

Hello! I'm having an issue when trying to just run a single command with no X server.

I saw this example command in another ticket, which is currently failing for me:

 x11docker --debug --tty --interactive debian:10 bash

Output is:

Thank you for the bug report! I could reproduce the issue and have fixed it in current master/beta. You can get it with x11docker --update-master.

x11docker started a container of x11docker/xserver, but it did not know --tty because it obviously is not an X server. :-) Now x11docker does not use x11docker/xserver in case of --tty .

Awesome, thanks for the quick fix! I'll test it out in the next few days. :)

Works like a charm, thank you!

Closing this as resolved.
