I made some others tests. To start the X server in the container I'm now using the command:
$ xinit -- /usr/bin/X vt1
In my xorg.conf file I put the minimum to run the X server headless. I copied it at the end of this email. In the xml file of the container I have:
<console type='pty'> <target type='lxc' port='0'/> </console> <console type='pty'> <target type='lxc' port='1'/> </console>
So the error now is:
Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: VT_ACTIVATE failed: Invalid argument
This error occurs because the X server tried to do an ioctl(/dev/tty1, VT_ACTIVATE) on /dev/tty1 that is not a tty, it's a link to /dev/pts/0.
From your later posts, you'd also need to use this syntax to pass
Yep, the consoles you get available inside a container are not real Linux virtual consoles, so X is not going to be happy with them. Instead of using a <console> element, you'll need to pass through the real console device using: <hostdev mode='capabilities' type='misc'> <source> <char>/dev/tty1</char> </source> </hostdev> NB, this requires libvirt >= 1.0.1 to work through /dev/nvidida1 Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
