Hi
Every one i am using virtual box vm version 4.1.18 r78361 in linux.( Ubuntu
10.04 LTS lucid lynx)
I am running a "open flow tutorial" on virtual vm box.
I am stucked on the step where we test X11 forwarding.(xterm,metacity, startx
nothing is working even wireshark in VM)
The problem is i cant open wireshark or any kind of display from Virtual VM box.
I have searched many forums......but no success.......its the problem with
authority file .........X server?...... Can any body Help
All of the above mentioned commands are working from linux terminal but not
from vm box ! I am stucked:(
Below are some commands and the errors with them in Virtual Box VM
