CircleCI has apparently stopped, or at least paused, updating all their images 🙁 According to https://circleci.com/docs/convenience-images-support-policy/ you would expect to see new images with a regular cadence of 3 months....

- PR https://github.com/CircleCI-Public/cimg-node/pull/463 submitted to propose that the image get updated

The https://github.com/CircleCI-Public/cimg-node repo has been updated to generate new `cimg/node` images based on Ubuntu `24.04.2` LTS. Possibly by the end of this week, with new Node.js releases coming out, there...

Unfortunately, the hope has been dashed that the issue of "Missing X server or $DISPLAY" would be mitigated by getting the CircleCI Docker images `cimg/node:-browsers` updated to be built based...

@jennifer-shehane I suggest to test whether this new option in CircleCI can improve the success rate: https://circleci.com/docs/guides/orchestrate/automatic-reruns/ This could also be useful for other flaky conditions.

This issue should probably also be raised in the [CircleCI-Public/cimg-node](https://github.com/CircleCI-Public/cimg-node) repo. For `cimg:node:*-browsers` variants, the Docker image is built with the `entrypoint` script `/docker-entrypoint.sh` containing: ```shell #!/bin/sh Xvfb :99 -screen...
