Hi everyone!
I have a Mac with macOS Monterey version 12.1. I have installed Xquartz, all is ok with the installation, I log out and log in to put xquartz as x11 server by default and when I try to open xquartz it close by itself and nothing happen.
Could any one help me, please?
Thanks in advance.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.1
I have found the problem!! If i change my shell from zsh to bash it works!
In the System Preference security settings, and enable full-disk access for Xquartz, or for zsh, or whatever you’re working with that’s grumbling. You might need to use Command-Shift-Period to enable viewing /bin/zsh or /bin/bash or whatever you’re adding to the FDE list.
In the logs I can see theses errors:

Yea, I'm a bash user. I have things at work that require bash scripts, so it is easier for me to have a consistent shell environment across all the Linux, Solaris, AIX systems I work on.
If you are going to stay on bash, then add the following to your .bash_profile
export BASH_SILENCE_DEPRECATION_WARNING=1
This will keep macOS from whining at you to switch to zsh.
Also consider getting a newer bash version using Homebrew https://brew.sh
brew install bash
You may then need to arrange to launch the Homebrew version.
I have XQuartz 2.7.11(org.server 1.18.4) and it is working on my Monterey 12.1Apple Silicon M1 Max 16" Macbook Pro.
Thanks, but I doesn't work for me, and I don't know what I have to do.
The current version is 2.8.1 and Apple Silicon native.

The current bash version is 5.1.12, which is what is available from Homebrew.
I was referring to Xquartz.
Thanks all for your help!
Xquartz doesn't work
