Gitlab very kindly exposes the details of the git commit message (among much else) in the environment. Unfortunately, piglit tries to handle the environment in non-UTF8-safe ways, which means if the top-of-tree commit mentions non-ASCII characters (say, in the author's name) then all the tests fail and so does the pipeline. Fortunately none of those variables are things our piglit invocation needs. Since I've failed to rebuild the docker image as yet, just clear the likely variables from the environment before running piglit. This-makes-me: ☹
X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server
