Installed Skype and Google Chrome but not able to run it

[shiroamada]

Hi,

I manage to install via https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-google-chrome-web-browser-on-ubuntu-18-04/ this tutorial.
The Program Icon appear at the start menu, but when I click and run it, Google Chrome not appear.
It's go to try.

Are you able to run it? Or any setting need to be done?

Thanks!

In the following issue you will find the reason why it doesn't work: jessfraz/dockerfiles#65

The easiest solution to make it work (considering that adding privileges to a container represents a security risk) would be to run the container with the --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN argument.

To perform the installation I used the following Dockerfile:

FROM docker.io/hectormolinero/xubuntu:latest

# Install Google Chrome
ARG GOOGLE_CHROME_DEB_URL=https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
RUN curl -Lo /tmp/google-chrome.deb "${GOOGLE_CHROME_DEB_URL:?}" \
	&& dpkg -i /tmp/google-chrome.deb || (apt-get update && apt-get install -fy) \
	&& rm -rf /tmp/google-chrome.deb /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Install Skype
ARG SKYPE_DEB_URL=https://go.skype.com/skypeforlinux-64.deb
RUN curl -Lo /tmp/skype.deb "${SKYPE_DEB_URL:?}" \
	&& dpkg -i /tmp/skype.deb || (apt-get update && apt-get install -fy) \
	&& rm -rf /tmp/skype.deb /var/lib/apt/lists/*

Then started the container with the following command:

docker run \
    --detach \
    --shm-size 2g \
    --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN \
    --publish 3389:3389/tcp \
    --device /dev/dri:/dev/dri \
    YOUR_IMAGE

And then connected with FreeRDP with the following command:

xfreerdp \
    /v:127.0.0.1:3389 \
    /u:guest /p:password \
    /log-level:INFO /cert:ignore \
    /gfx:RFX +gfx-progressive /w:1600 /h:900 \
    /audio-mode:0 /sound:sys:pulse,rate:44100 \
    /microphone:sys:pulse,rate:44100 \
    +clipboard +home-drive \
    -compression -encryption

this fix is working nice, thank you.

for docker-compose:

services:
  xubuntu:
    image: registry.ipv6.docker.com/hectorm/xubuntu:latest
    container_name: xubuntu
    cap_add:
      - ALL
