I'm trying to get a display manager (slim) and Xorg-server working in a |
| 2 |
LXC container. I'm using systemd. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
I can successfully ssh into the container and: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
systemctl start slim.service |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
with everything working as desired. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
However, when slim.service is started as part of the container's |
| 11 |
startup, the Xserver fails to start because: |
| 12 |
|

The LXC container is a privileged container. |

The software is up-to-date as of this AM. |

I'm not sure how to debug this. |
