Re: [Lxc-users] Skype in a container
Hi, you need a xserver in your container. Create a container, install gnome or whatever and install Skype for Linux ;) 2013/5/18 Tamas Papp tom...@martos.bme.hu hi All, Is there a cookbook to run Skype in a container? I upgraded my laptop to Saucy and Skype seems to crash continuously. So I think it would be a good idea to run a Precise container with Skype. 10x tamas -- AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) platform delivers complete security visibility with the essential security capabilities.

It was a glib2 error and now it works again, so I leave it as it is now. It's 4.2.0.11-1 from the official download site. Though, I'm still interested in running GUI application inside a container.

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.
