<div dir="ltr">I've installed a Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS container purely to run as a mythtvbackend, just to see if I could get it to work. Of course mythtv requires X windows so that you can do the initial configuration of the backend etc. I just ssh'd into the container where this was installed/setup and forwarded the X window back to my PC using xming software.<div>

As this is something I have been curious about...I considered doing this as a<br>
test to see what happened.. but at the time I started with LXC my goals and<br>
needs for LXC were and are still different...<br>
<br>
This brings up the LXC with X v. LTS type setup...<br>
<br>
I currently use LTS setups for an organziation that basicaly replaces all the<br>
desktops from the LTS server... sort of back to thin client-esque systems....<br>
<br>
I am curious as to how you use this setup....<br>
<br>
Do you use the containers mostly remotely ie: XDMCP over SSH for WAN, XDMCP on<br>
the LAN, and what tasks your doing in these containters... other than the<br>
current issue.. any other isues... for the tasks your doing....<br>
<br>
With a decent server this could be an interesting option to LTS setups... I'd<br>
like to hear more about your containers with X installed, please.<br>
<br>
Thanks....<br>
