<br>
I'm setting up an LXC container for Ubuntu 13.10 where the X server is<br>
started in the host on vt6. The unix socket and authority file are<br>
then mounted in the LXC container. I can start X sessions and<br>
applications from the container but I can't get LightDM to use this<br>
server.<br>
<br>
I would really like to have the container's LightDM/Ubuntu greeter to<br>
automatically start on this display when the container is started to<br>
allow a graphical login. I'm aware of other options (XDMCP, vnc, etc.)<br>
but I'm trying to do it directly through the mounted unix domain<br>
socket. I've been trying to configure X to be started and managed by<br>
LightDM in the container but haven't been able to do that so far.<br>
<br>
Is this possible?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Shahim<br>
