Captures findings from two environment discovery queries to inform future test infrastructure decisions for this repo.

Environment Facts

  • OS: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS ("Noble Numbat"), Debian-based
  • $DISPLAY: Not set — no pre-existing X server running
  • xvfb-run: Installed at /usr/bin/xvfb-run

Implication for Display-Dependent Tests

Any test or code path requiring a display must be wrapped with xvfb-run:

xvfb-run python -m pytest
