X export/nesting - Xephyr |
![]() |
We decided to substitute the previously used Xnest with its designed replacement Xephyr http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Xephyr InstallationOn VDD server (Xen Dom0) root@serv1:~# apt-get install xephyr UseOn LTSP thin-client (it is as like as we would be on VDD server/Dom0), logged in as, let's say, user1, run: user1@serv1:~$ Xephyr -ac :1 -fullscreen The :1 set the X channel listening and waiting for remote connections. You could use - almost - any number you want. On VM (Xen DomU) log in as a normal user - better as the same user on LTSP thin client - export DISPLAY towards the chosen X channel of the server and launch the desired desktop environment. Eg. for launching a KDE session on the lennyvm DomU, run: root@serv1:~# ssh user1@lennyvm |
