How to use Xvfb in Ubuntu 14.04 with/without RandR?
I try to run Unit-Tests with Selenium running Firefox on my Ubuntu 14.04 Server. And I'm using Xvfb as described in this blog to simulate a virtual display to show Firefox in.
But Xvfg somehow doesn't load/work with RandR. Because whenever I try this:
sudo Xvfb :10 -ac &
export DISPLAY=:10
firefox
I get an Xlib: extension "RandR" missing on display ":10"
-Error.
I've also tried sudo Xvfb :10 -ac +extension RANDR
, sudo Xvfb :10 -ac -extension RANDR
and beacuse it supplies with "xrandr" also apt-get install x11-xserver-utils
.
And my setup is a plain empty Ubuntu 14.04 Server with apt-get install xvfb firefox
.
Can anyone please help me run Xvfb with or without RandR?
After hours of struggling the error is still there. But finally I've figured out, that it's more like a warning and that Firefox actually starts. Moreover, my Selenium-Tests are running.
The actual problem was, I used an old Selenium Version and the newest Firefox. And they didn't work well together.
