gtk initialization failed (Possibly ALSA Related)
Author: tokenwizardCreated Jul 31, 2024Updated Jul 14, 2026
Requested info is logged below. Also, I put the console output that seemed relevant (ALSA errors just before the system exists with the gtk initialization error).
Is ALSA a prerequisite for this to work? Is there something else I'm missing?
I regularly run other docker containers on this system.
