Hi all, On a standard 2009.06 install, I'm trying to run X application in a zone (namely Firefox, Thunderbird and OpenOffice). I'm trying to forward the displays over SSH by doing the following:
ssh -X u...@zone firefox However, I get something similar to this in response: process 9033: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/var/lib/dbus/machine-id": No such file or directory I have little understanding of X past general day to day use. I thought I had heard that you cannot run X inside zones, but then I found the following, which seems to say otherwise: http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+zones/faq#HQCanIuseXwindowsinazone If doing the second method would allow me to run Firefox, how might I go about actually doing it? I'm not sure how to: a) tell X to allow remote connections from the non-global zone b) set the appropriate environment variable so that X sessions go to the global zone’s X windows session I presume for b, all I'd need to was: setenv DISPLAY my-global-zone But I don't know what to replace "my-global-zone" with. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Many, many thanks, Ben -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
