Not really lxc-specific, but if it's a simple X application, using ssh + x forwarding would probably be easiest. It's the same thing as when connecting to a remote server. Or you could skip the ssh part and go with simple X forwarding (e.g. using "xhost" and "export DISPLAY=..."), making sure your X server on the host listens to TCP (it doesn't by default). It becomes complicated when sound is involved. Probably http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Configuring_Sound_on_Linux/Pulse_Audio/Remote_server (again, not really lxc-specific). -- Fajar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
