What doesn't work

The below issue returns the gtk initialization failed error, with the below log.

Comments & previously recommended fixes

Looks like there are a few issues currently mentioning this issue as of time of writing, both on Linux systems and WSL2 from people wanting both headless and displayed deployments:

Conclusion

Sadly none of the provided fixes seemed to have worked for me. I guess the question would be what changes between running 'auto' headless compared to 'big-sur' (or any other image)?

Ok, I was able to get it running with the below docker run command and image. The logs should finish on the lines also shown below, then you can ssh into the image with user and alpine to confirm everything is working.

Awesome work, apologies for not getting back earlier. I also like the perfectly syntaxed report 😁

Thanks (Can't help myself with the pretty markdown!). Fantastic job with docker-osx as well, glad to be finally getting away from Apple's hardware restrictions. Interesting question will be what will happen when they fully migrate to Arm.

Hopefully this issue helps others, but looks like a PR may be required to resolve whatever changed in the image (Originally commented here https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/issues/498#issuecomment-1141823716)

I followed the initial setup after replicating the issue, I executed these

$ sudo docker run -i --device /dev/kvm -p 50922:10022 -e GENERATE_UNIQUE=true -e DEVICE_MODEL="iMacPro1,1" -e WIDTH=1600 -e HEIGHT=900 -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e "DISPLAY:=0.0" sickcodes/docker-osx:big-sur
$ xhost +
$ docker start -ai -i <container_id>

Worked like a charm!

i had the same issue but i managed to fix it by building my own image:

git clone https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX.git
cd Docker-OSX
docker build -t docker-osx .
xhost +
docker run --device /dev/kvm --device /dev/snd -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}" docker-osx:latest

it worked for me on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS. also i executed commands from "Recommended fixes from previous issues" section above (not sure if any of those was actually needed though).

it is as simple as that. hope it helps somebody.

Many thanks. It did not help me unfortunately.
I am getting:

qemu-system-x86_64: warning: host doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.0DH:EAX [bit 2]
(qemu) gtk initialization failed

My system is a J4202-itx, which supports VT-x

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/710944/qemu-warning-host-doesnt-support-requested-feature-cpuid-80000001hecx-svm-b

If you can modify arguments passed to qemu, adding -cpu host seems to be a simple naive fix for a similar issue.
