Is that possible to run the environment via 'ssh' with a headless server?

Hi,
same as Fail to make environment : Minecraft Process finished unexpectedly

I failed to make the environment with ‘xvfb-run’, and the error goes:
EOFError: Minecraft Process finished unexpectedly

Does anyone successfully running the environment on a remote server?

Best,

Same here, I’ve been stuck here for a while. I think I have xvfb running the way it should be, but no luck getting past here yet.

Could you try running your code with

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

That should give us a more detailed error.

You may also not have write permissions.

It seems something else.

#6

It seems that you may not have any graphics drivers on your system.

Can you run

xvfb-run glxgears

If this fails I can help you download graphics drivers.

#7

@qiwei_ye Do you have an NVIDIA GPU on your system? Sometimes the drivers conflict with xvfb-run. In which case I recommend you run everything in a docker container.

#8

@william_guss yes, I have nvidia-415 driver installed.

± % xvfb-run glxgears
/usr/bin/xvfb-run: 184: /usr/bin/xvfb-run: glxgears: not found

I’ll rerun in a clean docker and get back to you soon.

xvfb-run -s "-ac -screen 0 1280x1024x24" glxgears
worked for me istead of
xvfb-run glxgears
