Hello, Yannick Schinko, le lun. 04 nov. 2019 14:25:43 +0000, a ecrit: > When using xvfb-run (1.19.2-1+deb9u5) to run gource headless I run into the > issue that the underlying server does not seem to be ready in time a good > 75+% of cases.
Note that the xvfb-run script is a Debian script (thus Cc-ing maintainers there just for information), but possibly the issue is inside the Xserver, see below. > In those cases gource complains: > gource: SDL initialization failed - Couldn't find matching GLX visual > > Now this suspicion is amplified because when I run it as "xvfb-run <args...> > bash -c "sleep 1; gource <args...>" it works every time. > > Is there some way to work around this issue other than having a sleep before > the gource command (which would make working with some scripts a pain)? It happens that the Debian xvfb-run script takes good care of using SIGUSR1 to synchronize with Xvfb (see SIGUSR1 in man Xserver), so I'm surprised that you're running into issues. Perhaps the X server is sending SIGUSR1 too early?
