[lxc-users] Question about Ubuntu Server

[CDR]

I just tried and they cannot.
In other distributions, there a file under /etc/X11/ where you need to add
AllowRemoteRoot=true
But I cannot find it in Ubuntu.
Has anybody ever used virt-manager from a vnc-client
I am sure there is a workaround.

Yours

Philip
