Problem with plot and generate report --> Cannot open display

[HaenselLeonard]

I'm having problem with opening any GUI application in a running container. In short, I always get similar "cannot open display" errors from different applications.

Platform
Host : Ubuntu 22.04
Docker : Docker Desktop 4.36.0

Image : kalibr (Ubuntu 20.04 and ROS Noetic based image)

who --> give us :1
export DISPLAY=:1
Run Command

xhost +local:root
docker run -it -e "DISPLAY" -e "QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1" \
    -v "/tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw" \
    -v "$FOLDER:/data" --net=host      kalibr

I've tried also:

xhost +local:root, xhost +local:docker, even xhost + before running container
--privileged
--runtime=runc
DISPLAY=127.0.1.1:1 (i.e. my host IP)
DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY

Extra Info
Some env vars in the container: HOSTNAME=docker-desktop DISPLAY=:1 QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1

Inside the docker container:

source devel/setup.bash
rosrun kalibr kalibr_calibrate_cameras \
    --bag /data/cam_april.bag --target /data/april_6x6.yaml \
    --models pinhole-radtan pinhole-radtan \
    --topics /cam0/image_raw /cam1/image_raw

Everytime i ran into this error:

    self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use)
_tkinter.TclError: couldn't connect to display ":1"

In addition, even if I set -dont-show-report as a parameter, I always get the same error. I have also tried 'xeyes' as a test. Here I also get the same error regarding Can't open display: :1. I am beginning to despair. Do you have a solution?

Same problem, but for stereolabs/kalibr image (host machine: Ubuntu 22.04). According to Usage from the link I need to run xhost +local:root before running container, but still while running imu_camera calibration I recieve error:

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1818, in __init__
    self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use)
_tkinter.TclError: couldn't connect to display ":0"

So I get final *.yaml and *.txt files, but without report with plots it's difficult to estimate "accuracy" of this calibration. Did you succed in solving this problem?

EDIT: flag --dont-show-report didn't help and I still recieve the same error

There should be no issue with running with --dont-show-report. Just make sure you do not have the verbose, or the visualize detections enabled also.
