<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hello,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thanks for your work with xvfb!<br>
I’ve been finding it very useful for headless applications.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I’ve recently been trying to integrate xvfb-run into conda environments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">It appears that the <a href="https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/xorg-x11-server-xvfb-cos7-x86_64">
conda package xorg-x11-server-xvfb-cos7-x86_64</a> contains xvfb-run.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">However, upon installing this package, xvfb-run does not get added to my command line $PATH<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Once in the conda environment:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">echo $PATH<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">/home/user/some/path/.snakemake/conda/88b6189c5ff6f692b2c06b47d96d7966_/<b>bin</b>:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">/home/user/miniforge3/condabin:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">However, I can access xvfb-run here:<br>
/home/user/some/path/.snakemake/conda/88b6189c5ff6f692b2c06b47d96d7966_/<b>x86_64-conda-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/bin</b>/xvfb-run<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">So, it seems that xvfb-run is being successfully installed, but not making it onto $PATH.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Would it be possible to update the conda package recipe so that xvfb-run is added to $PATH?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Or is there another way that I should be accessing this as part of the conda environment?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Kind regards!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">And thank you again for maintaining this package!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
