Overall, I am trying to render images using Unity on a remote cluster.
The cluster does not have an X server; I don't have sudo permissions, or can start a Docker container, but I can start a Singularity container.
My plan is to create a container that would simulate the X Server. I created the following Singularity definition file:
Bootstrap: docker
From: nvidia/cuda:10.1-cudnn7-devel-ubuntu18.04
%post
# xvfb for rendering in headless mode
apt-get update
apt-get install -y xvfb mesa-utils xorg
echo "allowed_users = anybody" > /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
I started the container with the option --containall. From the container, I launched the command /usr/bin/X :0, but it failed with the following error:
Singularity xvfb.sif:~> /usr/bin/X :0
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root

Not any /dev/tty* exist. Then I tried to launch startx, but only to get the same message error.
How can I launch an X Server using a Singularity image?
As mentioned in a separate discussion, Xvfb is not supposed to be start through startx or /usr/bin/X but rather with the supplied run script.

I am currently working on the ARM Cortex-M4 inside the NXP i.MX8M Mini.
I am able to compile a project for M4 on Eclipse IDE on an Ubuntu VM.
I would now like to debug on the M4 via a SEGGER Flasher ARM probe, still from Ubuntu.
My probe is well recognized by Ubuntu, and I can launch the J-Link GDB server by simply typing the command :
$ sudo ./JLinkGDBServerCLExe
However, if I type the same command without sudo, I get :
$ ./JLinkGDBServerCLExe

Connecting to J-Link...
Connecting to J-Link failed. Connected correctly?
GDBServer will be closed...
Shutting down...
Could not connect to J-Link.
Please check power, connection and settings.
My problem is that when I start eclipse, I get the same result as starting the GDB server without sudo.
It seems that this is a rights issue, how can I solve it?
As #KamilCuk said, the problem came from the udev rules.
So you just have to copy the rules provided by Segger with J-Link Software on the system:
$ sudo cp 99-jlink.rules /etc/udev/rules.d
Then you have to reboot the system:
$ reboot
I use google cloud shell to execute this program

Is there any way that can help me solve my problem or how can i be able to install tor version 2.9.14?
You might have already solved the problem by now, if not I hope this can help.
Is there any way that can help me solve my problem?
OPTION 1
Let's take a look at these warnings:
[warn] Error setting groups to gid 114: "Operation not permitted".
[warn] If you set the "User" option, you must start Tor as root.
[warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Problem with User value.
To get a log of all users run cat /etc/passwd and you'll see debian-tor listed:
...
debian-tor:x:108:114::/var/lib/tor:/bin/false
...
The folder /var/lib/tor is owned by user debian-tor, so sudo -u debian-tor tor will work.
Alternatively, you can run this for your current user: (or chmod 777 for all)
chmod 700 -R /var/lib/tor/*
chown -R tor /var/lib/tor/
sudo service tor restart
You actually should run tor as non-root, else you get this message:
You are running Tor as root. You don't need to, and you probably shouldn't.
OPTION 2
As the warning suggests to see logs for details you should check for a message within dsmeg and /var/log/syslog. If you find anything then it can be AppArmor or SELinux blocking tor. Both SELinux and AppArmor provide a set of tools to isolate applications from each other to protect the host system from being compromised, so it's not recommended disabling them permanently but temporarily for debugging.
According to Debian SELinux support:
The Debian packaged Linux kernels have SELinux support compiled in,
but disabled by default.
Check the SELinux state with getenforce, if the output is Permissive or Disabled then you're set.
Moreover, looking at AppArmor/Progress:
Since Debian 10 (Buster), AppArmor is enabled by default.
To disable AppArmor on your system run: (reference)
sudo mkdir -p /etc/default/grub.d
echo 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="$GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT apparmor=0"' \
| sudo tee /etc/default/grub.d/apparmor.cfg
sudo update-grub
sudo reboot
There's a chance that either one's the culprit. Users have reported similar issue here.
How can i be able to install tor version 2.9.14?
Downgrading the tor package is as simple as this:
sudo apt-get install tor=0.2.9.14
But why would you want do that?
tor v2 will be deprecated soon. You'll see warnings like:
[warn] At least one protocol listed as required in the consensus is
not supported by this version of Tor. You should upgrade. This version
of Tor will not work as a client on the Tor network. The missing
protocols are: DirCache=2 HSDir=2 HSIntro=4 Link=4-5

I have the error "no drm device found" as shown below.
I thinks the mail error is fatal: failed to create compoitor backend.

How do I launch weston on linux yocto?
Here is the image:
So.. I found the answer to my question
it has three errors logind (systemd) was having trouble access the input keyboard type
second one is drm device is not found which implies that you have trouble accesing your output port. try to troubleshoot the port make it accessible to the board and then try to launch weston with correct config.
NOTE: Weston wayland wont launch if you dont have keyboard or a mouse connected preferably a usb
Just installed Docker CE following official instructions with the repository in Ubuntu 14.04
Installation went successfully, the daemon is running
$ ps aux | grep docker
[...] /usr/bin/dockerd --raw-logs [...]
My user is in the docker group:
$ groups
[...] docker
The cli can't seem to communicate (same with sudo)
$ docker ps
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock.
Is the docker daemon running?
The socket seems to have the correct permissions:
$ ls -l /var/run/docker.sock
srw-rw---- 1 root docker 0 Feb 4 16:21 /var/run/docker.sock
The log seems to claim about some issues though
$ sudo tail -f /var/log/upstart/docker.log

Any advice to make this work ?
Relog and Docker restart already done of course
As #bobbear suggested and is actually mentioned in the official doc one of the prerequisites is:
Version 3.10 or higher of the Linux kernel. The latest version of the kernel available for you platform is recommended.
After having checked my Kernel version:
$ uname -a
Linux [...] 3.2.[...]-generic [...]-Ubuntu [...] x86_64
I searched for candidates:
$ apt-cache search linux-image
And installed my new_kernel:
$ sudo apt-get install \
linux-image-new_kernel \
linux-headers-new_kernel \
linux-image-extra-new_kernel
Same situation happend on me. IS because your linux kernel version too low !!! check it use command "uname -r" , if the version below "3.10" (for example: debian 7 whezzy default version is 3.2 ) ,even you install docker-ce suceessfully, you will still can not start docker daemon success.That why! All most answers on the web tell you to 'restart' bla bla bla... but they did not consider this problem.
I had installed docker in my aws linux machine a while ago and was using it for kong testing purposes,
Machine details:
Linux ip-172-31-10-102 4.9.70-22.55.amzn1.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Dec 20 23:36:28 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Today when i tried to run normal hello-world container in my docker, i am facing the following error.
[root#ip-172-31-10-102 ~]# docker run hello-world
systemd cgroup flag passed, but systemd support for managing cgroups is not
available
docker: Error response from daemon: oci runtime error: systemd cgroup flag
passed, but systemd support for managing cgroups is not available.
ERRO[0000] error waiting for container: context canceled
I am not sure what configuration has messed in here,i am able to see docker info and container list everything but not able to run a container.
i tried re-installing dockers but still see the same error.
