GUI does not starts

[amcorreia]

Hi there,

With root user run: (Actually I think regular user is enough)

# xhost +

[TerkiKerel]

I started the container, I waited for 4-5 minutes and than I run this command outside of the container:
xhost +
it prints:
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host

I try this as a regular user. But I try it also with "sudo" command, it prints the same output.

I try the command also before start the container. Nothing changed.

[amcorreia]

Yes, you should run xhost + before docker run..

Which OS are you using?

Also try this command

docker run -d -it --rm  -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY  --name teamviewer amcorreia/docker-teamviewer

[TerkiKerel]

I am using Ubuntu 16.04.

I run your last script but the same things happened. Exactly the same log printed inside docker.

[amcorreia]

I think you need check if X server host socket is running in a different path, I don't have a Ubuntu right now to check.

-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix

This one.

[TerkiKerel]

@amcorreia what is the command? your last command start with "-v".

@TerkiKerel

I installed a Ubuntu 18.04 and worked fine, the only command I have to run before docker was

xhost +

then

docker run -it --rm -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix --name teamviewer amcorreia/docker-teamviewer

BTW: try this command, is better to see the error messages.

[TerkiKerel]

command:
xhost +
output:
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host

command:
docker run -it --rm -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix --name teamviewer amcorreia/docker-teamviewer
output

I wait about 10 minutes. Nothing happened.

Same here. I see the teamviewer process running from within the container but no GUI is launched on my host .

After:
echo $DISPLAY
unix:0

I set DISPLAY to 0:0 I think. and restarted the TW process manually and it worked

[jackTaw88]

@hkominos I have the same problem with @TerkiKerel.

How did you changed DISPLAY to 0:0. with which command did you do that? Inside container? Before run docker did you type a few commands? After run docker?
