Docker Toolbox on Win 10 Home fails: Checking for X11 authentication keys... failed

[eblundon]

I'm having trouble installing HNN on Windows 10. I've got to the "./hnn_docker.sh -u start" part of the install, but no HNN GUI pops up. My issue also doesn't seem to be on the troubleshoot page. The docker output is below. Any idea what might be the matter? I also tried to post the log file but the hnn_docker.log command didn't work.

@eblundon Thanks for creating this issue. I'm hopeful that the log file will give me some clues. The hnn_docker.log file is just a regular file in your home directory, ~/hnn/hnn_docker.log. You can use File Explorer to drag and drop hnn_docker.log into a comment here.

@INNFINITEMINDS this may be the same issue you are running into #163

Oh sorry about that, I misunderstood. I don't have a .log file, but I have a .txt file that looks like it could be a log file. Hope this is what you're looking for.
hnn_docker.log

@eblundon could you try this code update to see if the problem resolves? The error message in hnn_docker.log is related to VcXsrv not being reachable. I've tried the IP address 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost, but I'm not positive that will fix it.

git fetch origin pull/218/head:issue_217_fix
git checkout issue_217_fix
./hnn_docker.sh start

Once this issue is fixed (it will get closed), you can switch back to the updated master branch with:

git checkout master
git pull origin master
./hnn_docker.sh start

Following up on #186 here:

After pulling from master, post this merge, I am still having issues.
Once again Checking for X11 authentication keys failed.
Here are the logs:

@ShiriMakov I think I found the issue... the instructions pointed to an old version of VcXsrv. Upgrading to a newer version fixes this problem. I have used 1.20.6.0 and 1.20.8.1 successfully. Hopefully, that does it. Sorry for overlooking this! I'll be following up with a fix to instructions very soon.

I wanted to make sure other users don't keep getting the wrong version. Feel free to reply to this issue if the xauth errors persist. Thanks for reporting it to us!
