Most of my containers are without X (run level 3). When I have one that needs a X environment I start an Xvfb with a simple window manager (mwm) using a boot script. When I need gui type access to it, I run x11vnc in the container and access that environment from anywhere with vncviewer. chris Christoph Willing +61 7 3365 8316 QCIF Access Grid Manager University of Queensland ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oracle to DB2 Conversion Guide: Learn learn about native support for PL/SQL, new data types, scalar functions, improved concurrency, built-in packages, OCI, SQL*Plus, data movement tools, best practices and more. http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Lxc-users mailing list Lxc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxc-users
