@wrfly I cant reproduce the error with the latest image. It seems that the problem is located to your location. Can you verify that you have the latest image? Maybe try the dev image and see if there the issue is still present.

@toschneck Sorry, I pated a wrong command, the problem happened in consol/ubuntu-xfce-vnc and the command is

docker run --rm -ti -e VNC_RESOLUTION=1280x960 -e VNC_PW=pwd -p 6901:6901 --user root consol/ubuntu-xfce-vnc:latest

[toschneck]

@wrfly Ok I checked it but I don't get the error:

Do you try a docker pull consol/ubuntu-xfce-vnc:latest before?

[wrfly]

I'm trying and will paste another image later~

[wrfly]

You can open some shell scripts in HOME folder and see if there is any error

I didn't explain this error well, my bad

It just cannot start

[toschneck]

It seems that the xterm package is missing at this point. So I added it and now it should be fine. After the docker build has been run, you can try it with an updated :dev image.
Thx @wrfly for the hint!
