Do I need to start container with X (level 5?). I tried these steps : 1. Start container in level 3. 2. lxc-console into container 3. Run Xvfb (that returned error as) #Xvfb :0 -screen 0 1024x768x16 -ac & SELinux: Invalid object class mapping, disabling SELinux support. (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) (EE) GLX: could not load software renderer 4. Run mwm # mwm Error: Can't open display: 0.0 I have set display to 0.0 If I start Xvfb with no options I still get the above errors. Any idea on what I am missing?
