Seems to work at least on CentOS 7 though.

amadio commented 3 years ago

Does it work after running xhost +?

eguiraud commented 3 years ago

Yes! Thanks!

amadio commented 3 years ago

xhost + is quite the sledgehammer solution, maybe we could make a better suggestion. I just wanted to eliminate this from the possibilities when I suggested to you to check.

eguiraud commented 3 years ago

I'm trying to figure out what is the generic linux-wide equivalent of the xhost command we suggest for mac, but i'm not sure what ip we need exactly
