I want to run a pyvirtualdisplay on my Mac.
After installing all dependencies I installed X11 because i needed Xvfb to run and changed some permission for some folder called ~/.Xauthority to 777.
Still, if I ran
display = pyvirtualdisplay.Display(visible=0, size=(320, 240)).start()
XStartTimeoutError: Failed to start X on display ":1013" (xdpyinfo check failed).
What I also tryed was to change X11Forwarding in my /etc/ssh/sshd_config file to yes. Did not work out.
How can I resolve the issue?
Constructive help appreciated.
I got this same error while trying to run Selenium using PyVirtualDisplay on my Raspberry Pi. I was not running Xephyr.
In a separate terminal window I ran
export DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/etc/X11/host-Xauthority
and then
Xephyr :1 -fullscreen
Then re ran my python script and it worked.
If that doesn't work for you, here is where the actual error is occurring in the PyVirtualDisplay package: https://github.com/ponty/PyVirtualDisplay/blob/d229fcf892fdda17887684b977365d1fa90255eb/pyvirtualdisplay/abstractdisplay.py#L149
As you can see, you might need to install xdpyinfo in some form on your Mac.
