Hi it seems like a display issue. Are you using a remote server? You can test with xclock to make sure you have the correct X11 forwarding settings

[mayank-kabra2001]

Yes I am using the docker on the remote server. I am able to establish X11 connection in the server but not in the docker.

The command I am using to run docker is - sudo docker run -it --user espuser --security-opt label=type:container_runtime_t --network=host -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v "$HOME/.Xauthority:/root/.Xauthority:rw" columbiasld/esp:ubuntu18-full /bin/bash

Hi, Mayank. Could you please try to sudo bash to switch to the root user? I also found this issue. As root, I can open GUI applications.

BTW, is it possible to run as a non-root user to show GUI applications in podman (I am using RHEL 8)? @klchiu

Hi @SaltedFishLZ sorry I just read the message. You shouldn't need to be sudo user to open the GUI. I've never used podman but I can try to see what I can do in the next few weeks

Hi @klchiu and @mayank-kabra2001, I also have the problems of GUI start like this. How try to run sudo make esp-xconfig but it requires espuser password and I dont know what it is. Could you tell me how to fix this?

[klchiu]

Hi @TrungNgoc20172869 the password for espuser should be espuser. But I think your problem is about the Xforwarding. When you start the docker container, do you set the DISPLAY variable?
