I would like to report of my impossibility to run XQuartz 2.8.1 on my MBP16, intel, macOS Monterey 12.2.1 (21D62).
I got the same behaviour installing XQuartz with brew or by downloading and installing the *.dmg. Specifically, I have seen that - launching Xquartz upon clicking on the app icon (or by invoking /opt/X11/bin/xquartz from Terminal.app or iTerm2.app) does not work. These actions do result in launching the process that becomes visible on the Activity Monitor, but this process only lasts 5-10s and then it dies. Launching "xeyes", "xterm" or (any) another app requiring X11 does relaunch Xquartz. However nothing happens after that: the specific app hang and does not respond. I see that the $DISPLAY variable gets initialised (e.g. to /private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.uERODEzS1s/org.xquartz:0). In this case the process xquartz stays in the background. No error message is displayed in the terminal or in the Console.app log files. I have spotted some x11 libraries in /opt/local, presumably installed via brew (but related to other applications). I ignore whether this might be the reason for a conflict. I am very sad as I can't use the NEURON simulator GUI or any other X11 software on my Mac. Thank you for any possible suggestion. Michele P.S. I have opened an issue on GitHub was was told by jeremyhu I should instead ask on the x11-users mailing list. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
