openvz container to run gui.

[bread-baker]

Hello
I want to set up a vz to be used by a vnc client to access a web browser and terminal for sysadmin tasks.

Currently we use KVM to do this.

Could someone give some tips on how to set that up?

why not with a debian squeeze container with x2go.org?

there are several x2go clients, also for windows.

Tom,
I am unable to download or use apt to get the programs.

Do you know if the project is still active?

never mind, it is a problem on our end. firewall setting . as i can ping and install from home.

Ok I have x2go and lxde installed, but get this error in Xorg.logs :

Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)

can someone please suggest a solution?

In mean time will continue to search for answer.

I ended up not using x2go in a vz as fuse file system is used. and vzdump does not work when fuse is active.

But x2go is working great in a kvm.
