2017-05-12 Thread Massimiliano Malisan 
Hi Simos,

thanks for your great tutorial!
I followed it and almost all runs fine, except that I had to add user
permissions to the gpu device:

lxc config device set   uid 1000
lxc config device set   gid 1000

otherwise, even though all X windows were starting correctly, GPU
acceleration was skipped...
Maybe it's because I have an ATI card..

I am running an Ubuntu 16.04 inside an Ubuntu 16.10.

Regards,
Max

Thanks everyone for the support!

There are many things to try, and getting a full desktop in a LXD
container is the great goal.

As for the immediate next steps, I think the following are critical
stepping stones:
1. make very easy the process of setting up the container. Perhaps
some sort of script or scripting framework.
2. actually get people to try these things. There should be bugs and
issues waiting to be discovered and reported.

Hi!

I get accelerated graphics and the output of chrome://gpu is identical
betweem the host and LXD Chrome:

===
Graphics Feature Status

Canvas: Hardware accelerated
Flash: Hardware accelerated
Flash Stage3D: Hardware accelerated
Flash Stage3D Baseline profile: Hardware accelerated
Compositing: Hardware accelerated
Multiple Raster Threads: Enabled
Native GpuMemoryBuffers: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled
  (i.e. Intel GPU)
Rasterization: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled
Video Decode: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable
Video Encode: Hardware accelerated
VPx Video Decode: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable
WebGL: Hardware accelerated
WebGL2: Hardware accelerated
===

For my Intel GPU, I did not have to enable the LXD GPU Passthrough
(LXD 2.7 or later),
while others with NVidia had to do so. It would be great if someone
with Intel GPU could try the tutorial
and report back.

Per my previous mail mentioned 'chrome working but not gain 3d acceleration'
was documented and shared as
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1DcxNYlXgYLIWKQG8sbg8POk-uxl9I1Kgi9W3ti_1MbQ/edit?usp=sharing

The report is mixed with some Chinese but I believe reader can understand
by it's English paragraph, experiment number and figures.

Simos , this is a excellent article.

I would like to give my 10 cents to make it better.

When I was using lxc-1.0 I found that when /dev/dri/ is not correctly
configured you might see chrome working but not fully gain gpu acceleration
(i.e. 3d).  Chrome is smart and it will falls to software rendering in this
case and you might not notice it.  To debug you can open chrome://gpu/ in
chrome to see details.  When gpu correctly configured you will see string
like " WebGL: Hardware accelerated".
