Question on running in headless linux server using xvfb

[Kahdeg-15520487]

My question is : Does the bad parameter opengl error actually prevent the program from running or it's just taking long to run?

Here is the command i use:

xvfb-run ./mapshot-linux render /opt/factorio/saves/_autosave1.zip --factorio_binary /home/kahdeg/factorio/factorio/bin/x64/factorio --alsologtostderr --factorio_verbose

Here is the log:
kahdeg@ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-sgp1-01:~/factorio$ xvfb-run ./mapshot-linux render /opt/factorio/saves/_autosave1.zip --factorio_binary /home/kahdeg/factorio/factorio/bin/x64/factorio --alsologtostderr --factorio_verbose

here i was waiting for about 1 minute then i manually CTRL+C the process

The xvfb approach is a bit of a hack, so I'm afraid I cannot help much here. A couple of things still:

• I do think that indeed the GL context creation error is an indication that it won't work.
• When I tried it a while ago, I've never managed to make it work on Ubuntu 18.04 - which seems to be the release you are using. On 20.04, it was fine.
