[OpenIndiana-discuss] Xvnc in a zone

[Hans J. Albertsson]

Is there some simple way to get Xvnc working from within a non-global zone??

I e I'd like to sit logged in to the global zone as always, and be able 
to run a vnc session to an ngz in a window. It can be a very small 
desktop, what I'm after is the visual feedback of "You're in a twisty 
little non-global zone" afforded by the x desktop inside a fairly large 
window.

Being able to start a gnome session in the ngz from a laptop might also 
be neat.


First attempt (to just copy the working Xvnc installation from a 
separate server's GZ) failed with references to dbus.

I suppose one could run a ssh -X zone xterm (or other client), but I 
just wanted to try the full X thing.

Things I find on the internet and particularly Oracle blogs are a wee 
bit unclear, probably leaving out some crucial package that people 
working at Oracle always install w/o thinking. They do seem to say that 
it can be done.

Things are complicated a bit by the server with the NGZ's I'm running 
also being a SunRay server for 3-4 clients.
