Interesting, there is no "VirtIO-GPU" in Hardware -> Display: But "VMware compatible" does get it going...

I'm able to get graphics up on the initial installation phase of Lubuntu 18.04, however after the system installs it doesn't seem to start up lightdm or xorg at all - no graphics, just console. Any idea as to what might be going on here that's preventing it from starting? I was able to install...

I'm wondering if there's any way to use the information in this post to perhaps help add this functionality to facilitate this: https://blog.simos.info/how-to-easily-run-graphics-accelerated-gui-apps-in-lxd-containers-on-your-ubuntu-desktop/

Thanks @tom! Good to see others doing this, but one thing it doesn't seem to cover is the latter portion of this discussion regarding starting xorg at system start with accompanying GUI apps (without requiring user interaction).

Yes I see this too. I'm trying to figure out a way to get it to start automatically somehow, but I'm not seeing a solution yet.

That's excellent and seems simple enough to get going. I was able to simply `apt install x2goserver` and pretty much get it going. One question I guess I have is how would you initiate some kind of graphical app to start at system boot? For example, if I want the container to run at boot and to...

So what would you do in a case where you need to maintain open some apps that execute and need to stay running in xorg? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding as I'm thinking that x2go doesn't "stay" running on the server side as far as graphical interface provisioning goes and only instantiates when a...

Interesting, can you explain how to get xorg working in a container? For example, I installed the Ubuntu 18.04 container as per the available template from Proxmox. I then did a `tasksel install xubuntu-desktop` and it installed Xubuntu Desktop just fine, however when I attempted to start xorg...

Is it possible to run a full desktop distribution of Linux (ie, Xubuntu) as a container in Proxmox? Or does it have to be a virtual machine with virtualized graphics that may not be available to containers?

Good to know, thanks. Are there any other template sources available that can be added to the system? If not, what might the steps be involved in creating a template from an Ubuntu based distribution like Pop OS?

Thank you both, good to know. @t.lamprecht one thing that caught me there when you said select a storage, I thought meant from the Storage "tab" under "Datacenter", but in reality you meant to select the storage name on the left under the `pve` instance like "local (pve)" and then the so called...

Thanks @tom, so I guess the "Template" tab is unclear. As I noted, I've not really used containers or Docker before and so I want to install Ubuntu 18.04 as a specific example right now. I'm guessing there's no "iso temple" you shove in there, so what's a template? Where do I get an Ubuntu 18.04...

Being new to Proxmox and containers in general, are there any tutorials or examples of how to setup an Ubuntu 18.04 container and some other Linux distros as containers? It would be nice to see a step-by-step path to follow just to make sure I have everything in order as I start and go through...

Yes, but how can I test this as a sanity check? (I do see, by the way `qemu-ga` running on Windows Server 2012 R2.)

I'm having a terrible time with Proxmox not seemingly being able to shut down Windows (10 and Server 2012 & R2) and Linux (CentOS 6.10) guests. I'm not even sure where to start in terms of isolating where the problem might be. What should I do to ascertain what the problem here is?

I've got a wireless interface in my host box (wlp7s0) that I use as a backup ISP when/if my regular ISP goes down. I'm having some trouble getting the interface configured such that it will come up at boot and connect to the SSID when it's available. I'm able to do it manually via the first few...

I'm somewhat accustomed to how things are done in XenServer with regards to having multiple network interface cards. For example, I can see each one and name them while also seeing their MAC addresses all in a unified interface, as well as configuring virtual switches. Here's an example...

@chchang which setting for the Linux distro did you use as I can't get Easy2boot to actually make a bootable USB for Proxmox. I did use Etcher for Windows as per @tom's suggestion of following that page and this worked to create a bootable USB. @tom, you might want to put this note about...
