The GUI service -nitpicker- asks for more resources (cap_quota != 0) but
nobody is answering the request (in this demo scenario) - because of
that the GUI is not responding/available anymore.

You may increase in repos/os/run/demo.run the granted cap quota by
changing the caps value, look for

<start name="nitpicker" caps="110">

This hints also for a mis-configuration. Try to increase the caps in
repos/ports/run/noux_vim.run at the drivers node:

<start name="drivers" caps="1000">

If the increase of caps for the drivers node is not sufficient, you
would need to adjust
repos/os/recipes/raw/drivers_interactive-pc/drivers.config and rebuild
the package.


The interactive scenarios we don't regularly manually execute for
-Genode/seL4-, so you may encounter such resource requests for such non
automated run scenarios again.

Hope it helps,

Alex.
