Optional: Developer Workstations with Proxmox VE and X11 Proxmox

[edumax64]

Hi, i have installed Proxmox 2.0 from Bare-Metal Cd, from iso. After i have installed from guide
[h=1]Optional: Developer Workstations with Proxmox VE and X11[/h] Proxmox VE is primarily used as virtualization platform with NO additional software installed. In some case it makes sense to have a full desktop running on Proxmox VE, for example for developers using Proxmox VE as their primary workstation/desktop.
For example, just install gnome desktop:

aptitude install gnome-core gdm3 libcurl3 xdg-utils Make sure network-manager is not used, else pve-cluster will not start

aptitude purge network-manager To get a modern browser, Google Chrome is a good idea - download the 64-bit *.deb from Google, also install sun-java6-plugin.

Now. i have access from user "root" on SSH and Web Gui, but not from Debian Desktop at login. I got autentication failure, with "userr "root" and password. Whi?
Thi is because i have installed Proxmox from Bare-Metal, and not from Debian Squeeze? can i create a user? Thank you for interesting, and iìm very Happy for your work in Proxmox Ve.

this is not enabled by default, gnome default setting. you can enable it (somewhere on the login manager there is a 'configure'). better is to create a new user and use this one for Gnome.
