Description

Original: The [documentation|https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Xvfb+Plugin#XvfbPlugin-ProjectConfiguration] says: ??*Xvfb screen* changes the screen resolution and pixel depth, it needs to be in WxHxD format (i.e. 1600x1200x24). The default is 1024x768x24.?? I just installed the xvfb-plugin, and took all the defaults, leaving the "screen" value blank. When running my Jenkins job, the *first time*, in the log I could see: {noformat} Xvfb starting$ Xvfb :1 -screen 0 -fbdir /var/lib/jenkins/xvfb-99-1021388786522495009.fbdir {noformat} and at the end of the job: {noformat} Xvfb stopping Finished: SUCCESS {noformat} Running the exact same job *every subsequent time*, the log say: {noformat} Xvfb starting$ Xvfb :1 -screen 0 -fbdir /var/lib/jenkins/xvfb-100-2665068639033469958.fbdir ERROR: Xvfb failed to start, consult the lines above for errors {noformat} Looking at running jobs (using `ps -ef | grep -i xvfb`), I got nothing. Trying this same command from the command line interface, I get: {noformat} $ Xvfb :1 -screen 0 -fbdir /var/lib/jenkins/xvfb-106-4356636144193454909.fbdir Invalid screen configuration -fbdir for -screen 0 {noformat} Finally I decided to specify something for the "screen" parameter - I used the _supposed_ default: "1024x768x24" and everything worked fine.
