Hi,
I have a headless rendering application. I'd like to start it in a
container (LXD in this case, but I had same issue with mesos native
containerizer) which do not map /dev/ttyX.
Is it possible to start X without a terminal? I can specify dummy video
driver, void keyboard/mouse drivers, a virtual/non-existent monitors,
but I can't seem to figure out a dummy /dev/tty device for X. Or
perhaps someone can point to how i could create a dummy virtual terminal.
If it has any bearing, I'm using Ubuntu 16.04, Xorg 1.18.4. I tried
this Xdummy xorg.conf configuration: http://xpra.org/xorg.conf. I was
starting the server as root to sidestep permission issues if any. The
error when running "xinit glewinfo" or even "X :1" was
(EE) parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)
Thank you.
