External Email - Use Caution

Hello all,

I'm just getting started with Freesurfer so please forgive me if I'm missing something basic, but basically my setup is like this:

I'm on an M3 Mac and I'd like to run FreeSurfer. Since there's arm/x86 compatibility issues I'm trying to run it inside of an x86_64 docker image of Ubuntu 22.04. I've downloaded the relevant .tar.gz, mounted it inside my docker and I've installed all the various packages I need to run freeview (basically I tried to run freeview and every time it complained about a shared lib not found I'd install the relevant package), but now I've gotten to a point where I try to run freeview and it just says "Aborted" and that's it.

I have a license.txt at FREESURFER_HOME and I've run source SetUpFreeSurfer.sh, but basically I'm stuck at this point. I can run freeview -h and get the help message. I can run freeview --verbose, but this also just results in an "Aborted" message and that's it.

Is there anything else I can do to debug? The "Aborted" message unfortunately doesn't give me much to go on 🙁

For the sake of completeness I'll just make a note that I should be able to run this through Docker. I've installed x11-apps and run xeyes in the same container in which I'm trying to run freeview and it works, so I don't think that's the part it's choking on. Also for completeness here's a list of the packages I had to apt-get install: libgomp1, libgl1, libglib2.0-0, libqt5gui5, and I also had to export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 for some reason.
